Missing
Of the missing, 35 crew members were positively identified and buried in the
years immediately after the attack. The Oklahoma, righted and refloated in
1943, sank again in a 1947 storm while under tow to a mainland scrapyard.
This year, the unidentified remains of almost 400 men from the Oklahoma
were were exhumed from the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in
Hawaii. Scientists are working to identify them.
