Sixty years have passed since the first battle of the Vietnam People’s Navy (August 2 and 5, 1964), but the heroic spirit and lessons from that victory remain invaluable today. They continue to inspire the Navy to build a revolutionary, disciplined, elite, and modern force, contributing to the cause of national development and defense.

A ceremony will be held in the northern province of Quang Ninh to commemorate martyrs and people who died in the first victory of the Vietnam People’s Navy against the US forces in 1964.
