Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Corry Station held a remembrance ceremony on the anniversary of the capture of the technical research ship USS Pueblo, Jan. 23.
On Jan. 23, 1968, Pueblo was confronted by North Korean vessels and aircraft while operating just about three miles in international waters. The vessels opened fire on Pueblo, injuring its commander, Capt. Lloyd Bucher and two other Sailors while mortally wounding another. The crew was captured and held prisoner in Pyongyang, North Korea until their release on Dec. 23, 1968.
The ceremony included a timeline of the events leading up to the attack, a bell ringing for the lost Sailor and a moment of silence.
Mario Vulcano, an IWTC Corry Station instructor who also serves in an unofficial capacity as the command historian, provided a detailed account of the events that took place while the crew of Pueblo was held captive. He encouraged attendees to read the stories of the survivors and the events that took place.
"Courage and bravery were necessities that these servicemen could not live without, and they represented what our Sailors today hold to be their core values: honor, courage, and commitment," said Vulcano.
Information Warfare Training Command Corry Station, as part of the Center for Information Warfare Training, provides a continuum of training to Navy and joint service personnel that prepares them to conduct information warfare across the full spectrum of military operations.
