In '69, I was at Coronado where the inquiry was going on. Saw a lot of beat up and sad sailors from Pueblo. You got it right about the capture but electronics wasn't the big deal. Codeword material was compromised. All codewords were changed overnight once Pueblo was seized. That's memorable.
Good to meet you, Sal.
it didn't help having a eletronics tech 90 day wonder as co of a spy ship. (not that i'm knocking et's, but this was not the correct posting for a spy ship commander)and he plodded along for a long time after he knew he was spotted, should have run for open sea. the Russian "trawler" off Guam did. and no, i'm not a ex-sub man, i kept turning the sub job down because i like my liberty.
