Garandomatic Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Not much left of her... Just pieces. I wonder if the damage was so bad that the compression ripped her apart.

Redleg13a Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 They're pretty sure it's JOHNSTON based on the position and lack of splinter camouflage patterns on the pieces they've found. They also found ST. LO. I was hoping they'd find SAMUEL B. ROBERTS, HOEL and GAMBIER BAY as well. They said they want to go back and confirm whether or not this is JOHNSTON or not.
