It was commonly rumored that there are always marines on these ships. In this case, two USMC Sergeants were part of the crew and were not designated as “CT”s.

I don’t know this to be true, but as rumor had it, that they were not there for protection, but to make certain you wouldn’t be captured alive.

Scuttlebutt, to be sure, but this was the rumor at this time. So maybe there is some validity to your story.

If I were to tell you how I know this and where I was when the Pueblo was captured, I’d have to kill you.

False rumor. Marine sergeants Chicca and Hammonds were both Korean linguists. This is documented in a book on the Pueblo.
