Obit at last clears up mystery of USS Jarvis loss
Navy historians confirm the destroyer Jarvis disappeared after August 9 1942 near Guadalcanal. After a Japanese torpedo strike and air attack, no wreckage or survivors were found until a year of research linked the ship to an Achilles type cruiser sunk by Japanese planes. The Jarvis did not die in vain, aiding ships off Guadalcanal and threatening enemy carriers.
