The Pentagon said Tuesday that the bodies of up to 388 troops killed during the Pearl Harbor attacks, who are buried in “unknown” graves in Hawaii, will be disinterred and identified using the latest DNA technology.

Japanese torpedoes sank the U.S.S. Oklahoma, killing 429 servicemen, during the infamous offensive of December 1941. The sailors and Marines are entombed in Hawaii’s National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, but will be examined at the Hawaii laboratory of the Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Accounting Agency after families were notified Tuesday morning.

Unless the families request it, I'd be OK with just leaving it as is.

Sen. Chris Murphy and 14 other senators wrote the Pentagon eight months ago requesting that the remains of 22 sailors from the Oklahoma be returned to their families, who had asked for them.
The sailors were among more than 400 who died when the Oklahoma was torpedoed and capsized during the Dec. 7 surprise attack by Japan.
