	The Cold War Museum - USS Pueblo
		On January 11, 1968 the USS Pueblo left its port in Sasebo, Japan to embark on a surveillance mission in the Sea of Japan.
		Fearing the possibility of another war in Asia, Johnson oversaw a diplomatic solution that allowed for the return of the 83 men aboard the USS Pueblo (including the body of the one crewmember killed during the conflict), but not the ship or any of its classified materials.
		Although all but one of the men thus eventually came home safely, the incident itself symbolized a broader failure of American foreign policy in Asia-an almost casual assumption, evident also in Vietnam, that American military might was invulnerable to the challenge of Asian communists.
