At the Wikipedia article referenced in reply 52 above, regarding a paragraph in that article, an excerpt, separated into individual sentences:

TRUE: Radio contact between Pueblo and the Naval Security Group in Kamiseya, Japan had been ongoing during the incident.

Sort of TRUE: As a result, Seventh Fleet command was fully aware of Pueblo's situation. [Given circumstances of communications.]

TRUE: Air cover was promised but never arrived.

RE AIRCRAFT AVAILABILITY: The Fifth Air Force had no aircraft on strip alert, and estimated a two-to-three-hour delay in launching aircraft.

IMHO: Fifth Air Force was ordered to not send help.

We will always be at war with South Arabia.

Thanks, will probably be learning more about the Pueblo as long as we are still around.
