Funny you should speak of the Pueblo Sarge. I was researching that today because of something I found out I thought was very strange

The Pueblo (and Liberty) were both tragic examples of ‘leaving our own behind, on their own to face whatever’.
At least the Pueblo had a reasonable, although ‘conspiracy theory’ excuse, that NSA (no such agency) was trying to get a TTY into the hands of the Russians - with a ‘glitch’ in it.
The ‘story’ kind of ties together when you realize Johnny Walker was selling codes etc to the Russians and once the ‘new’ machine got into their hands we ‘knew’ they were ‘reading our mail’.
Like I say, on the conspiracy level, but a plausible ‘excuse’ but no reason to completely abandon all the souls aboard the Pueblo.
VERY INTERESTING
I had not heard that before. Humm. The ship is still commissioned last I heard.
