This undated Yonhap file photo, released by the Korean Central News Agency, shows the USS Pueblo spy ship being displayed along the Daedong River in Pyongyang for anti-American propaganda purposes. North Korea seized the 906-ton ship and its 83-strong crew in January 1968. According to foreign reports on Feb. 25, 2021, the Washington federal court ordered the North to pay US$2.5 billion in damages to the crew, who were tortured and mistreated for 11 months after their seizure.

It might make the point better if the USS Pueblo was hit by 10 pr 20 times as much firepower was required to sink her.

However, the fact that we have done nothing in the last 53 years must gall the norks a bit. It’s as if their possession of the ship is immaterial. And I don’t think,the norks want to be mocked as unimportant.

Can’t take it out, it’s still on the active Navy rolls..2nd oldest ship in the fleet after the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides). No idea why they never struck it from the rolls, I suppose that’s beyond my pay grade.

2ID, the Navy blowed up plenty of our ships in the Nuke tests, I propose they can blow up Pueblo too, and take it off the rolls.

Maybe a more mysterious explosion like happened to the Maine.

OT, all the ships destroyed were stricken from the active rolls. The Maine had a steam boiler explode (conspiracy theory is inside sabotage, more likely accidental) which was the excuse the US was looking for to start the Spanish-American War. I think the Navy has a rule about destroying a ship still on the Active fleet. Army vet, son & grandson of Navy vets, Cuban Missile Crisis & WWII.
