From the June 10, 2015, KFOR 4 News.
In April the Defense Department announced that the remains of up to 400 unaccounted USS Oklahoma crew will be exhumed and examined with the process starting June 8.
The first set of remains was exhumed. Altogether, the bones are buried in 65 caskets at 41 grave sites with a total of 388 sets of remains.
As each set is disinterred there is a special ceremony held to honor them.
The remains will undergo months of DNA and forensic work.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
