From the July 1, 2016, WTTV CBS 4, Indiana "Indiana soldier's remains identified 75 years after attack on Pearl Harbor" by Kylee Wierks.
Paul A. Nash, Navy Fire Controlman First Class of Carlisle, Indiana died that day aboard the USS Oklahoma when the ship capsized. His body was recovered several years later when the ship was uprighted, but by then it was impossible to identify with the state of science at the time.
However, earlier this year, his remains were identified using mitachondrial DNA, dental comparisons and circumstantial evidence.
The remains were flown back to Indianapolis and he was buried July 9 in Sullivan.

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.
