I AM angry about this. Could this stupid clod, who apparently has enough brain cells to get elected governor of a state, not understand the significance of the vessel.
My dad was a friend of CDR Bucher...and he was also the Communications and Security Officer at Yokosuka when the capture occured. I don’t remember it, but my mother told me that my dad didn’t sleep at home for two weeks, he was in the communications hut on the base at the time.
He never spoke of it to me.
The USS Pueblo is still a commissioned ship on active duty in the USN. As a fomer naval officer, I am furious.
