The alleged captured submersible
It looks like a torpedo.
Any Navy types out there who can identify this object?

"We have nothing unaccounted for and there is no way for us to verify that this is a U.S. vessel," Oten said.
But he apparently doesn't deny that we have them operating in the area. Hmmmm...

Now that I think of it, it makes no sense. If we had unmanned submerisibles operating in the area, they would be designed to self destruct rather than be captured.

Wouldn't it literally be the "bomb" if it was actually a cleverly disguised nuke torpedo. One with a delayed timer on it.
It looks like a recon torp, but I am no expert.

It doesn't look like any of these....

Some 1,500 North Koreans made daily visits to the Pueblo during a recent month-long, anti-U.S. rally period, and the government had its hands full preventing visitors from trying to eat everything in sight, said the newspaper. There. Fixed.

Perhaps you could enlighten us with just a little experience on what a 'recon torp' might be.
I think you're chatting, advisedly speaking, through your hat.

===================
Almost, but not quite:
"Some 1,500 North Koreans -- lured by the promise of a steamed dumpling each -- made daily visits to the Pueblo during a recent month-long, anti-U.S. rally period, and the government had its hands full preventing visitors from trying to eat everything in sight, said the newspaper.
There we go! Now its fixed.

Oh, that's what happened to our 'DOOMSDAY' torpedo. Hope they don't try and open it!

If it were a recon torpedo I would think the first thing the N. Koreans would have done was try to get into the thing to see how it works. If they did that they would be displaying the scientific instruments they took from it as proof of what the thing was.
Just an opinion ---not a fact.

It would be "interesting" to see how long that "concrete" and cut stone and grout around the display case have been in place.

I will never understand how we let North Korea get away with this.
