What happened to the USS Pueblo in 1968. During this turbulent era the United States experienced an extremely controversial domestic, political and military course in history. The Greatest Generation who had weathered the depression, battles of World War 2 and a Police Action in Korea, then saw it's children involved in a seemingly endless war in Vietnam to stop the spread of communism.
The Soviet Union also pose as a strategic nuclear threat on the border of Eastern Europe. But while the war in Southeast Asia seemed to take precedence, the military and intelligence agencies were attempting to gather information as to dominate the geopolitical theater. This concise summary will provide the reader with the basic background to question the answers provided to the Pueblo argument.
The author explores the PINKROOT and ICHTHYIC naval hydrographic and intelligence mission of the USS Pueblo. The writing also informs the reader toward the language abilities of the crew and the relationship towards the possible destination of the ship. It also describes the resulting US build up on the Korean Peninsula and naval force in the Sea of Japan.
The use of declassified information attempts to portray the growing threat on the South Korean border as cross border raids began to destabilize the cease fire. On January 23rd, 1968 as the USS Pueblo was off the coast of North Korea when it was attacked and captured. But was there a tertiary goal and was the crew aware of its role?
The subsequent internment of the crew is described, but the statements of the captain leave even more questions toward what lessons wee learned. This informative read serves as a foundation for what has been disclosed in recent years, as even the President knew in 1968 that the War in Vietnam could not be won. And the continued orders for more forces would only result in the loss of more American service members. What role did the Pueblo play during this scenario and mindset?
This research attempts to chart the historic course of the USS Pueblo and describe the depth of its importance during the Cold War and the duality of its missions.

As a US Army veteran of Desert Storm and the Cold War, this information helped me under understand the apparent tactical actions and potential strategic consequences that are not readily visible. This only creates more interest as the current public disclosures concerning Operation Gladio, Northwoods, Mongoose and Ivory Bells are revealed.
The question remains, what happened to the Pueblo, and why does it's patch depict a seahorse?
