So did we have a naval military?? I hardly ever heard of it in history books, but I do believe Vietnam does have a naval military since Vietnam is a costal nation. We probably had some naval wars with the Chams too.. Anybody got information about that?
Negative on that. The only real battles were Bach Dang battles; one by Ngo Quyen, and the other by Tran Hung Dao.
The Ly did send a naval fleet to current day Da Nang harbour to punish the Chams, but they failed.
