The attack resulted in the destruction of several aircraft and facilities, as well as casualties among American and South Vietnamese personnel.

Cam Ranh Bay was a beautiful seaport, as well as a large military base. The Russian Battleship Fleet anchored there in 1905 enroute to the battle of Tsushima, fought on 27 May 1905. Cam Ranh Bay, Bien Hoa, Da Nang, were all major entry points into South Vietnam...by airliner or ship. With the exception of the Tet offensive in 1968, combat normally occurred outside of those major bases.

During the period between June 1, 1971, and March 30, 1972, there were several attacks on Cam Ranh Bay in South Vietnam. Cam Ranh Bay was a major United States Army logistical and communications base during the Vietnam War. It experienced rocket and mortar attacks from Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces, aiming to disrupt American operations and infrastructure in the region.
Cam Ranh Bay provided a relatively safe natural sea port midway between the Mekong River tributaries of the southern tip of South Vietnam, and their northern border on the DMZ. This gave ships easy and safe access to bring in the supplies needed by the U.S. to fight the war. The Navy port also contained an Air Force base, a replacement depot, a supply depot, and an Army hospital.
