USS Oklahoma 75 Years later: DNA is not just science, it's personal

Thank goodness for the knowledge to be able to identify the DNA in a person who's been dead a long time. 75 years later, and some family members may get their loved one back home for a proper burial.

DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. –The USS Oklahoma was hit by multiple torpedoes and capsized during the attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941, resulting in the loss of 429 Navy and Marine personnel. Seventy-five years later the Department of Defense DNA Registry under the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System is still hard at work to bring those servicemen home to their families.
