DECEMBER 7TH 1941 ABOARD THE USS OKLAHOMA ARE US SAILORS STILL ENTOMBED–AS A NEW DIRECTIVE TO EXHUME AND IDENTIFY THE FAITHFUL HEROES OF THAT SURPRISE UNDECLARED WAR ATTACKED AGAINST AMERICANS DESTROYING 9 SHIPS OF THOSE WERE 5 BATTLESHIPS AND DAMAGING 21 OTHER SHIPS FROM THE EMPIRE OF JAPAN–THE REMAINS WILL NOW BE IDENTIFIED THROUGH DNA


ON THE morning of December 7, 1941, Second Lieutenant William G Muller Jr had just returned aboard the USS Oklahoma, which was moored on “Battleship Row” in the middle of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
It was the height of World War II in the Pacific. Unbeknown to Muller, just 10 minutes later he would be faced with a terrifying event that would rewrite the course of history — and take the lives of nearly 500 men.
A few minutes before 8 o’clock on that fateful morning, the crew felt something hit the ship. Most didn’t think much of it.
“I had just reached the third deck. The explosion came from the vicinity of the Wardroom and was not a violent one,” Muller recalled.
But it was violent. It was a torpedo — and the ship, along with the entire harbour, was under a surprise attack by the Japanese.
The word came over the loud speaker system: “Air attack, all unengaged personnel seek cover, these are real Japanese bombers.”
“I could hardly believe that this was a real attack but the excitement and reality of the voice convinced me to move,” Muller recalled.
Then, a second torpedo hit.
