===Boats interdicted===
Early on the morning of 14 May, the Khmer Rouge loaded ''Mayaguez''{{'}}s crew onto one of the fishing boats and they left Koh Tang following two of the Swift Boats on a heading for [[Kampong Som]].<ref name=Wetterhahn/>{{rp|91}} Two F-111s swept past the fishing boat, followed by a pair of F-4s and a pair of A-7s, which began firing in front of the Swift Boats and then directly at the Swift Boats, causing one of them to turn back to Koh Tang. The jets were then joined by an [[AC-130H Spectre]] gunship from the [[388th Tactical Fighter Wing]] which proceeded to engage the second Swift Boat with its cannons.<ref name=Wetterhahn/>{{rp|92}}

An A-7D then sprayed the Swift Boat with its 20&nbsp;mm cannon, sinking it.<ref name=Wetterhahn/>{{rp|96}} The fighters then came at the fishing boat dropping bombs and firing their cannon into the water in front of it, spraying the boat with shrapnel.<ref name=Wetterhahn/>{{rp|92}} The fighter crews reported back that 30 to 40 Caucasians had been seen on board the fishing boat.<ref name=Wetterhahn/>{{rp|97}} Despite Ford's order to sink all boats, the jets sought orders from higher command.<ref name=Lamb/>{{rp|27-8}}
