Bert Jacobson's name was recorded on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of then Pacific in Honolulu along with other military personnel listed as missing in action from World War II. A rosette later was placed next to his name to indicate that his remains have been identified.
The identification process began in 2015 when the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency exhumed the remains of the unidentified USS Oklahoma crew members for additional analysis. (They had been buried commingled in several graves in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.)
