Day 8 - c) USS Pueblo

Saturday September 11, 2010

USS Pueblo is a Navy intelligence ship of the United States which was captured by North Korea in 1968, a cold war event now known as the Pueblo Incident.

Although caught on the eastern side of the country in 1999 it was towed to the western side (through international waters) to be brought into Pyongyang, where it now rests and acts as a tourist/educational site.
Bullet marks on the USS Pueblo.

The local military guide showed us the internal rooms of the ship and described how the United States navy was caught red handed spying by the heroic North Korean military.

The ship is still in commission as far as the US Navy is concerned. Check out the reaction from Miss Jong when asked if the Pueblo will ever be repatriated:
