An Australian Navy ship discovered the wreck of the USS Edsall, a Navy destroyer sunk in battle during World War II.

The discovery, announced Monday, has revealed the resting place of more than 200 servicemen who died three months after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The wreck of the USS Edsall, a lone American destroyer that fought a Japanese fleet, has been found in the Indian Ocean, the U.S. Navy says.

The USS Edsall, a 314-foot destroyer sunk by Japanese forces in 1942, was known as "the dancing mouse" for its ability to evade attacks.

An American World War II warship that played a key role in Allied campaigns in the Pacific has been discovered at the bottom of the Indian Ocean more than 80 years after it was sunk.
