"It was the US Air Force, and the US Navy,(including of course US Marine air elements),who destroyed any, and all Migs, that moved ,by CAPs and the infamous "Fleet Pickets". Simply put,we killed them when they moved,period. The North Vietnamese couldn't even move Migs between their own airfields in the North, without being shot down by the 7th. Fleet. My ships had "confirmed" Mig kills, using our GMC Mk. 71 Tarter /GMC Mk.76 Terrier,systems. These were from most northern picket in the Tonkin, and all were above and deep inside North Vietnam."

Jesus, man, you must have had some serious shit to smoke on your boat if you thought you guys shut down the North's air forces. Not even close.
