According to Wikpedia: Pueblo is still held by North Korea. In October 1999, it was towed from Wonson on the east coast, around the Korean Peninsula, to Nampo on the west coast. This required moving the vessel through international waters. No attempt to recapture the Pueblo was made. This move was done just before the visit of U.S. presidential envoy James Kelly to the capital Pyongyang. The present location of Pueblo is in Pyongyang, an attempt to project an image to tourists of the North Koreans’ strength.

I can’t understand why we let them do that. We should have done unto them as they did unto us – but with a much greater massive show of force. It’s a US Navy vessel – we would only be claiming that which is rightfully ours.

The Pueblo survivors put together a website to tell their stories. They tried to cover their whole experience before and during captivity. The website is http://www.usspueblo.org/.
