Mia list for USS Longshaw DD559

  Note:those changed from MIA to dead on 7/20/45 were changed because
of reports that said they were in an area that suffered so much damage
that it was felt that it was impossible to have survived.
 For example people last seen on bow or bridge,gun mounts that were blown off etc.
