The US generally kept one carrier at "Yankee Station" in the Gulf of Tonkin, east of Da Nang and Hue, near the border between North and South Vietnam. This was officially "Point Yankee". The US kept at least one carrier in this vicinity from 1964 to 1973, to carry out bombing raids in North Vietnam and close air support of troops ashore. There was a corresponding "Dixie Station" off the Mekong Delta of South Vietnam, where the US kept an additional carrier in the early years of the war. Just about all the carriers in the US fleet were "on Yankee Station" at some point during the war. The US had 22 carriers during this era and all but the John F. Kennedy were in Task Force 77, of the US 7th Fleet on Yankee Station at one time or another. Currently the US has 11 of the 22 aircraft carriers in the world. Eight other navies operate a total of 11.
