The USS Edsall was found after a long-lost history, showcasing the courage and resolve of its crew, who fought valiantly against overwhelming odds in 1942.
Adm. Lisa Franchetti praised the bravery of the crew, stating, 'lost in a valiant battle against the Imperial Japanese Navy' and affirmed the Navy's principle of perseverance.
On March 1, 1942, Edsall's commanding officer engaged in a 'hopeless action' against two Japanese battleships, demonstrating courage even when faced with certain defeat.
Despite being outgunned and damaged, the Edsall executed evasive maneuvers and fired back, embodying the spirit of 'Don't give up the ship' in dire circumstances.
