What Became of the USS Oklahoma Marine Platoon?

From the November, 1942, Marine Corps Recruiter.

In the last post, I wrote about a platoon of Marines referred to as the USS Oklahoma Platoon in honor of the Marine detachment serving on the battleship USS Oklahoma when it capsized during the attack on Pearl Harbor.  This was the only additional information I could find out about it.

"In connection with the recruiting drive to enlist the USS Oklahoma Platoon, enlisted in honor of the men of the Marine Detachment of the battleship USS Oklahoma who were killed at Pearl Harbor, and the western premiere of  the film "Wake Island," this display was arranged in a Tulsa, Okla., store window."

This is all I have been able to find on this group.  I'd sure like to know more.

80th Anniversary of Swearing In of the USS Oklahoma Marine Corps Platoon

From the September 15, 2022, Oklahoman "Throwback Thursday:  Platoon  name honors fellow Marines from USS Oklahoma" by Linda Lynn.

From caption of the photograph.

"Eighty-five Oklahomans raise their right hands as they are sworn into the Marine Corps on September 15, 1842, on the south side of the state Capitol.

"The platoon was designated as the USS Oklahoma Platoon in honor of the detachment that had served on the USS Oklahoma battleship, which was hit by multiple torpedoes on December 7, 1941, during the bombing of Pearl Harbor."

And, It Was Formed in Oklahoma.   --GreGen
