WASHINGTON  After more than 50 years, USS Pueblo crew members and their families are finally being recognized for what they have endured.
A federal district court has awarded compensatory damages in the amount of $1.15 billion and additional punitive damages in the same amount. Thursday’s decision follows a 2019 default judgment that held North Korea liable for taking the crew hostage in 1968. The damages awarded are among the largest ever awarded in a state-sponsored terrorism case.
The case,

USS Pueblo crew get $2.3 billion settlement for North Korea seizure


The former crew of the USS Pueblo are entitled to $2.3 billion in compensatory damages for the “pain and suffering” they endured while imprisoned in North Korea over 50 years ago, a federal judge recently ruled.

Judge Dabney Friedrich of the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia handed down the decision in favor of the surviving crew members and families of deceased crew members on Feb. 16. It is the conclusion of a case filed by 61 crew member plaintiffs and 110 family member plaintiffs in February 2018.   ....
