Derrington, 42, of Columbus, Ohio, killed during World War II, was accounted for on March 25, 2021, by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency. On Dec. 7, 1941, Derrington was assigned to the battleship USS Oklahoma, which was moored at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, when the ship was attacked by Japanese aircraft. The USS Oklahoma sustained multiple torpedo hits, which caused it to quickly capsize. The attack resulted in the deaths of 429 crewmen, including Derrington. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
