Eight caskets were disinterred at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, Honolulu, Hawaii, Oct. 7, 2024. These caskets were part of the West Loch Disaster Project, an ongoing effort by DPAA to disinter, transport, and identify service members who died in the West Loch Disaster during World War II. The tragedy occurred when a series of explosions on several ships killed and injured hundreds of service members and damaged or sank numerous vessels during preparations for the invasion of Saipan. The remains were taken to the DPAA laboratory on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam for further scientific analysis and possible identification. (U.S. Air Force video by Staff Sgt. Cole Yardley
