When the Pueblo Crisis broke out, Dewey was sent to Korean waters, where we spent 56 days on patrol until a boiler casualty forced us to return to Japan. It was a record for a ship of our type. I was convinced that the world was on the brink of nuclear war, and that ironically, on board ship, I might be one of its few survivors. But I was outraged by the audacity of the North Koreans, and I was ready to kick their ass personally. Those two months at sea were grim, the weather was rough and it was cold, and in the mornings we would have to knock the ice that had built up on the superstructure with fire hoses to keep the ship from becoming top-heavy. The daily helicopter from the aircraft carrier delivered my last letter from Mary Ellen, it couldn't have come at a worse time.
