    The USS Lynde McCormick DDG-8 undertakes an all-encompassing refresher training followed by a overhaul and modification at Hunter's Point, San Francisco, California, early in 1964, increasing her anti air warfare capabilities. A high state of readiness had been achieved when the Tonkin Bay incidents of 2 August 1964 and 4 August 1964 escalated the conflict in Vietnam.
   
In company with CruDesFlot 11, the USS Lynde McCormick DDG-8 departed 5 August 1964 for her second WESPAC tour of duty on a 6-month deployment along the Vietnamese coast, primarily in the screen for the USS Bon Homme Richard CV 31 and other carriers.
