It was suppose to be a spy ship so having protection tends to put a hamper on it mission. But there should have been available either from a Navy Task Force or South Korea. This was not put into place. Also they should have been further off the coast then were they where. |

In the current issue of Naval History magazine, Paul Stillwell reminds us of the Pueblo incident 40 years ago: ...North Korean gunboats captured the 900-ton U.S. intelligence ship Pueblo (AGER-2) in international waters. The skipper of the Pueblo, Commander Lloyd M. Bucher, was wounded by gunfire. He surrendered the ship without the crew firing a shot and without disabling the engines. His decision was to protect the crew against the casualties that might have resulted from resistance.... Did Bucher make the right decision? |
