 After Commander Waddle had faced the Naval Board of Inquiry, it was decided that a full court-martial would be unnecessary, and he was forced to retire and given an honorable discharge.In response to requests from the families of "Ehime Maru" victims and the government of Japan, the USN raised "Ehime Maru" from the ocean floor in October 2001 and moved her to shallow water closer to Oahu.Once there, USN and Japanese divers located and retrieved the remains of eight of the nine victims from the wreck.
