Something’s up with that...first of all that’s a destroyer escort (DE), not a destroyer. Also, DE-129 USS Edsall was decommissioned not sunk.

Here’s the proper USS Edsall, DD-219

My dad was also harboring at Tjilatjap with the Edsall.

Here is some trivia.

L. Ron Hubbard claim
“L. Ron Hubbard claimed that he had served on Edsall during World War II and that, following her sinking, he swam to shore and remained in the jungle as the ship’s sole survivor. He claimed that this is where he was during the bombing of Pearl Harbor, although Edsall had been sunk in 1942, and the U.S. Navy has no record of his service on the ship. Navy records show that Hubbard was in training in New York when the war broke out. He was supposed to be posted to the Philippines, but his ship was diverted to Australia. There he angered the US naval attaché for assuming “unauthorized duties”; he was relieved from his assignment and returned to the United States.”
