EMCS Larry Strickland (Ret.), speaks about his time as a prisoner of war for 11 months after being captured by the Korean People's Navy of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on Jan. 23, 1968. Strickland served as a fireman on board USS Pueblo (AGER-2) when it came under attack while operating in international waters in the Sea of Japan. One Sailor was killed and 82 servicemembers were captured during the incident. The capture resulted in a major Cold War-era incident and USS Pueblo is the only remaining captured ship still in commission by the US Navy. USS Pueblo is currently in Pyongyang Harbor and is being used as a museum ship by North Korea.
