    Actually there were two:
    USS Maddox and the
    USS C. Turner Joy

    The attack (2 August 1964) led to the infamous Gulf of Tonkin Resolution that LBJ used as legal justification for the war.

    I'll take that as my clue to go ahead.

    What do the HMAS Sydney and the SS Stephen Hopkins have in common?

    Both sunk by a German Raider:

    Stephen Hopkins was attacked by thee Steir, but badly damaged her. Eventually she (Steir) had to be scuttled

    HMAS Sydney was allegedly sunk by the Kormoran which also sank in the action. Some dispute since no survivors from Sydney and Kormoran survivors claimed she was still afloat as they drifted off.

    OK -- modified answer -- both entered into suicide pacts with raiders?

    OK, slightly off topic.

    What is the significance of the number one hundred and eleven to the Royal Navy?

    the only decent thing that i could find is that the Royal Navy deliverd Phantom planes to the Royal Air Force No 111 Squadron. but i geuss that this isn't the answer you are looking for.

    It certainly does have something to do with the Battle of Trafalgar, but more to do with a person who was there

    You said that it wasn't a date but spitting out the history of a couple of persons present at Trafalgar i found out that 1 january 1801 (1/1/01) was the date that Nelson got promoted toVice Admiral of the Bleu. Is this it?
