Destroyer Squadron 26 (DESRON-26) is a unit of the United States Navy that has served in a variety of conflicts, including the Vietnam War. The squadron is responsible for coordinating and directing the operations of several destroyer and frigate ships.

During the Vietnam War, DESRON-26 was tasked with providing naval support for ground forces and conducting anti-submarine warfare and surface warfare operations. The squadron's ships were equipped with advanced radar and sonar systems, which allowed them to detect and engage enemy vessels and submarines.

One of the most significant engagements involving DESRON-26 during the war occurred in August 1964, when the squadron's ships participated in the Gulf of Tonkin incident. This incident, which involved an alleged attack on U.S. Navy ships by North Vietnamese naval vessels, ultimately led to the escalation of U.S. involvement in the conflict.

DESRON-26 continued to serve in Vietnam throughout the war, conducting a variety of missions in support of U.S. military objectives. The squadron's ships also provided critical support to U.S. and South Vietnamese ground forces, conducting naval gunfire missions and providing close-in fire support.
