Although three U.S. Navy Hercules were attrited during the period of the conflict in Southeast Asia, none were in theater, nor had anything to do with combat operations or support, therefore, they do not appear in Vietnam loss tables. One Navy-operated C-130 was lost in SEA but it was on loan from a USAF unit.
The text states that three U.S. Navy Hercules were damaged during the conflict in Southeast Asia, but none of them were active in the theater and did not participate in combat or support operations. This means they are not included in Vietnam records. One C-130 operated by the Navy was lost in SEA but it was on loan from a USAF unit.
