I know the USS PUEBLO was seized in 1968 by the North Koreans, but I sort of recall something happening to a US naval vessel I thought was named the VINCENS. I don't know. Maybe Alzheimer's has already begun to set in.........lol.

TS, the Vincens was the ship that was "accidently" hit by Iraqi missles during the Iran-Iraq war with much loss of life. The USA was a non-combatant in that war though we supplied weapons and intelligence to the Iraqis since we were against Iran (Iraq was an "enemy to my enemy and therefore, my friend"). Why you remember it was because after the ship came home and was repaired, the command of the ship was taken over by one of our classmates.

THANKS for taking the time to explain. Now it all makes sense why that name "Vincens" was stuck in there. Yes, now I do remember reading in Crossroads at some point about the change in command of that ship and the HC connection.
