A lot of the Oklahoma dead were memorialized by having new construction named after them. The most famous being the destroyer escort sub-killer USS England named after Oklahoma ensign John C. England.

I'm not sure what would be accomplished by locating the Oklahoma's hull. There are a lot of other Pacific wrecks yet undiscovered and Oklahoma was formally decommissioned in as a US warship in September 1944, unlike the Arizona which never was.
