Depending on the precise date of the capture, I was one or less than one
year old at the time, so my memory of that event is non-existent. What
exactly happened back then?

The USS PUEBLO, which was captured by the North Koreans in 1968, was the
first U.S. Navy ship to be hi-jacked on the high seas by a foreign military
force in over 150 years. To date, the capture has resulted in no reprisals
against the North Koreans; no military action was taken at the time, or at
any later date. This lack of military response guarantees the Pueblo’s place
in history as a watershed event in our national conscience.
