Fifty years ago on January 23, 1968, North Korea seized the U.S. Navy intelligence ship USS Pueblo while operating in international waters. One sailor was killed and 82 were taken prisoner. The Pueblo was commanded by Lloyd “Pete” Bucher. He and his crew were charged with spying on North Korea. Commander Bucher and his crew were released December 1968 after enduring 11 months of brutal captivity at the hands of the North Koreans. Pueblo is still listed as a commissioned U.S. Navy vessel — the only one held by a foreign nation-- The 177 foot X 32 foot ship is now a tourist attraction in Pyongyang, North Korea. click to view original story : The 1968 North Korea Crisis – ABC News (January 25, 1968)
