USS Pueblo on Display in North Korea

The Pueblo went on display in North Korea this week sporting a fresh coat of paint and the reminders of the only U.S. Navy ship still being held by a foreign government. North Korea captured the USS Pueblo in the late 1960's of the country's east coast. After a brief firefight during which one U.S. crew member was killed, the ship was seized. The crew was eventually released but North Korea kept the ship.

For more on the story, including photos of the ship go to the article in The Inquisitr and also artdaily.org.
