False Security. Even at a lower level of command, where operational difficulties are more apparent, Bucher received little help or guidance. Rear Admiral Frank L. Johnson, commander of U.S. Naval Forces, Japan, was made fully aware of Pueblo's limitations by Bucher. Yet he did nothing to upgrade the ship.

If Parks had some rather unusual financing in his earlier years, that was possibly due to the fact that he was cold-shouldered by white bankers...
