Bianchi's accounting is part of the DPAA's laboratory's Inorimaru project, which aims to identify the 431 unknowns associated with the ships sinking. Thanks to their steadfast work, Captain Bianchi will be coming home to his family in New Ulm, Minnesota. We'll finally be able to give him the burial he deserves 80 years later. (08:24–08:37)
