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.
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".
