Ocean View , Viet Nam Oceanview was a U . S . Marine Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company ( ANGLICO ) observation post located on the coast some 10 km north of the Cua Viet River and just south of the DMZ . It was a very isolated spot and could be reached only by Amtrac or helicopter . The primary reasons for its existence were to prevent infiltration of troops through the DMZ into I Corps and to direct counterbattery fire against North Vietnamese artillery . Navy ships would unload supplies at Cua Viet and these would be taken up the Cua Viet River to Dong Ha . Typically ships would begin to unload and North Vietnamese guns would open fire either from North Vietnam or the DMZ . The observers would calculate the North Vietnamese artillery positions and call in the coordinates to Navy ships and then adjust the rounds onto the target . Oceanview was defended by 32 Marines from the 1st Amphibian Tractor Battalion , plus 11 Army crewmen manning two M42 Duster s from 1st Battalion 44th Artillery , 108th Artillery Group at Dong Ha , assigned to the 3rd Marine Division . That Oceanview was somewhat successful was demonstrated by the NVA attempting to overrun the position at least twice : once on August 2 , 1968 and on February 22 , 1969 . On 2 August 1968 , several squads of NVA attacked Oceanview , but were driven off by fire from the Amtracs , Dusters and naval gunfire killing 8 NVA . Later that day a platoon of NVA was seen moving nearby and naval gunfire was again called in , resulting in a further 2 NVA killed . On the night of 22 February 1969 , an estimated 500 NVA troops attacked Oceanview . The battleship USS New Jersey ( BB - 62 ) was on station nearby and it fired 16 inch and 5 inch rounds over a period of 6 hours to break up the attack .
