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.
After 65 years of development, the Vietnam People’s Navy has thrived, becoming an elite and modern armed force and is responsible for safeguarding the country’s sovereignty over sea and islands.
