North Korea to put US spy ship captured in 1968 on display | World news | guardian.co.ukThe only US navy ship being held by a foreign government is expected to go on display this week as the centrepiece of a North Korean war museum.
With a fresh coat of paint and a new home along the Pothong river, the USS Pueblo – a spy ship seized off North Korea's east coast in the late 1960s – will be unveiled at a renovated war museum to mark what Pyongyang calls Victory Day, the anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended hostilities in the Korean war 60 years ago on Saturday.
The ship is North Korea's greatest cold war prize, a potent symbol of how the country has stood up to the great power of the United States, once in an all-out ground war and now with its push to develop nuclear weapons and sophisticated missiles.
Many of the crew who served on the vessel, who spent 11 months in captivity in North Korea, want to bring the Pueblo home. Throughout its history, they argue, the navy's motto has been "don't give up the ship".
The boat has been on display for decades. Who cares if they move it to an official museum? How is this even news.
You will have another issue if this news was from Business Insider.
Regardless, I can post from anywhere.
So? That doesn't change the fact that Business Insider is a joke.

USS Pueblo (AGER-2) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaPueblo is a primary tourist attraction in Pyongyang, North Korea, having attracted over 250,000 visitors since being moved to the Taedong River. Pueblo used to be anchored at the spot where it is believed the General Sherman incident took place in 1866. In late November 2012 PUEBLO was moved from the Taedong river dock to a casement on the Botong river next to the new Fatherland War of Liberation Museum. The ship was being "renovated" according to North Korean guides and is expected to be open again to tourists in late July 2013. To commemorate the anniversary of the Korean War, the ship had a new layer of paint added and was put on display at a museum.
It may not be news but that thread added 5 more to my no. of posts tally.
If that is all you care about, just go to the Funny Pictures thread.
For your info this is my second Pueblo thread. Here is the first one: http://www.debatepolitics.com/asia/...en-holding-us-navy-ship-captive-45-years.html
Why would we risk losing valuable assets just to get back an old heap that would have been scrapped and sold for parts 30 years ago? Let the baby have his bottle, it means absolutely nothing.Not too late to recover the ship since it is still listed as commissioned. Just send an aircraft carrier there and tow the ship back.

The USA "won" the goal in Korea and lost the goal in Vietnam.
Which way worked out better for us?
