HJR 1015 Colorado House · 2026 Regular Session

U.S.S. Pueblo

HJR 1015 is a Colorado legislative resolution commemorating the 58th anniversary of the 1968 North Korean capture of the U.S.S. Pueblo, a Navy ship named after Pueblo, Colorado. It designates January 23 as "U.S.S. Pueblo Day" to honor the crew (including one fatality and 82 captives) and calls on North Korea to return the ship, which remains in Pyongyang's possession and is displayed in a museum there. The resolution has no legal effect but serves as a symbolic statement of remembrance and a continued request for the ship's return.
