The day prior, a number of communist vessels had\u00a0approached the American spy ship to take photos venturing too close for\u00a0comfort.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The North Korean patrol boats and sub chasers had remained and around lunchtime Sunday began firing on the Pueblo after being joined by a pair of North Korean MiGs overhead.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><b><\/b>Bob Hill was lying in his rack when he heard general quarters sound, sending the crew to their battle stations. Hill was told to help destroy top secret material on board because the crew quickly found themselves surrounded.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tim Harris, a young supply officer onboard Pueblo, said the North Koreans quickly surrounded the American spy ship and opened fire with machine guns and 40mm cannon.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The American crew tried to escape, but the North Korean vessels were relentless.\u00a0 After signaling the Americans to stop or \u201cheave to\u201d and with their ship badly disabled due to the debilitating fire, the North Korean patrol boats swooped in and jumped aboard.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline  image-ct\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"m\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/images.foxnews.com\/content\/fox-news\/us\/2018\/09\/22\/uss-pueblo-spy-ship-crew-tell-trump-to-bring-vessel-home-from-north-korea\/_jcr_content\/article-text\/article-par-15\/inline_spotlight_ima\/image.img.jpg\/612\/344\/1537619843419.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Unknown 2\" width=\"649\" height=\"365\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p>Pictured left to right: Cmdr.

If you happened to be caught sleeping you were in a world of pain,\u201d Hill said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The crew learned to rely on God as well as one another.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cYour roommates were your biggest help,\u201d said Berens.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The surviving crewmembers are split about bringing the ship back saying President Trump has more important issues to worry about such as getting North Korea to scrap its nuclear weapons program.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt\u2019s still a slap in the face to us every day that it\u2019s still commissioned,\u201d Hill said. \u201cThat bothers me a great deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When North Korea turned Pueblo into a museum and communist propaganda piece, \u201cI prayed when they opened that thing with all their military officers on board we could drop a MOAB [Mother of all Bombs] or something on them and blow the whole damn thing up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He added: &#8220;Decommission that damn thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ron Berens disagrees.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIf they decommission the ship Americans would lose face,\u201d Berens said. \u201cThat\u2019s total surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThat is a hunk of metal. The crew is right here,\u201d Hill said about the survivors that have gathered this week in Pueblo, Colo.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe spirit of that ship is right here today at the reunion,\u201d agreed Harris.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cmdr. Josh Hill, a 2001 U.S. Naval Academy graduate currently assigned to the Pentagon, echoed his father\u2019s sentiment.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cNothing would mean more to the crew than having Pueblo returned to the U.S. for a proper decommissioning ceremony,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Surviving Pueblo crewmembers also want their skipper recognized for his heroism in leading all 82 men through 11 months of captivity.\u00a0 When they returned to the United States in December 1968, they were cheered by crowds in San Diego.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Back in Washington, Navy brass demanded a courts-martial to investigate why Pueblo\u2019s commanding officer, Cmdr. Lloyd M. Bucher, allowed his crew to be captured by North Korea. Charges were dropped weeks later because the Navy secretary felt Bucher had suffered enough, according to Berens.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To this day, Bucher has not received any valor award for his actions, despite the crew receiving Purple Hearts for their wounds suffered in captivity and during the attack at sea.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt was his leadership under extreme circumstances that we survived,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Many Pueblo crewmembers want Cmdr. Bucher awarded the Medal of Honor.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI wouldn\u2019t be here today if it were not for Commander Bucher,\u201d said Navy Cmdr. Josh Hill, who added that when he was commissioned in the U.S. Navy in May 2001, Cmdr. Bucher performed a special private ceremony at the Naval Academy\u2019s Memorial Hall.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Under Oliver Hazard Perry\u2019s battle flag: \u201cDon\u2019t Give Up the
