Didn't they manage to capture on of our ships?
The name escapes me. Liberty?
Recently, I read that they were not keeping it in good condition.....or have I got it all wrong?

The name escapes me too but it was commanded by Commander Lloyd M. Bucher, and it was relatively small unarmed vessel designed to sit just out side the national water boundary in international waters and electronically eavesdrop on everything they were doing; from radars to telephone conversations.

The name escapes me. Liberty? Pueblo. 1968.
Pueblo AGER-2
The Liberty, a ship with a similar signals intelligence gathering mission, was attacked by Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats during the '67 war.
Liberty, AGTR-5
The Liberty lost 10 crewman during the attack. The Pueblo lost one, IIRC. The Liberty made it back to port, the Pueblo is still in port, in Won son North Korea.
