January 23, 2018 will bring the 50th Anniversary of the seizure of the USS Puebloby North Korea.
Many, perhaps most, Americans have forgotten the U.S. Navy ship that, today, sits on display, moored along the Potong River at a dock near Pyongyang, as a tourist attraction in North Korea's Victorious War Museum.
The small ship was commissioned on April 7, 1945--the same day the U.S. Navy sunk the huge Japanese battleship Yamato.
The Pueblo is 177 ft. long, 32 feet wide, and draws 9 ft. of water. Her top speed: 12.7 knots.
