Pueblo skipper testifies on postloss aid and missing guns
Cmdr Lloyd M Bucher testified at a Pueblo court of inquiry that Navy aid fell short to destroy secret equipment after North Korea captured the ship. He said he received two 50 caliber guns and ammo instead of the twin 20 or 40 mm weapons he sought, while Navy lawyers stated he faced no military-law violations. The case centers on the January 23 Pueblo loss and the imprisonment of 82 crew members.
