Pueblo crew return hints at Navy hospital care plan
The 82 crewmen of the USS Pueblo return to San Diego as a rehearsal for handling Navy prisoners of war. The Navy says the West Coast hospital would be the primary evacuation facility for released servicemen, with Miramar nearby able to receive C141 transports. The facility is described as the world’s largest military hospital with 1500 beds and multiple clinics. International Red Cross access is denied by Hanoi, and the Pentagon cites many missing or captured servicemen in Vietnam.
