HONOLULU -- The U.S. Navy's $60 million effort to recover the remains of the victims aboard the Japanese fishing vessel Ehime Maru has come to an end without the recovery of the ninth and final victim.

Rear Adm. William Klemm announced Wednesday that the Navy's search ended Tuesday afternoon after 425 dives totaling 333 hours.

Japanese divers will conduct a final inspection of the sunken wreckage to verify the completeness and accuracy of the Navy's work. The effort is to begin Thursday and take one to two weeks to complete, depending on weather conditions.

Navy officials said that the body of Takeshi Mizuguchi (pictured, left), 17, may never be found. Mizuguchi was one of four students on the training ship.

The Navy has recovered eight of nine crew members who died when the submarine USS Greeneville rammed the fishing vessel nine miles south of Diamond Head on Feb. 9.

Earlier Wednesday, the Hawaii Community Development Authority adopted a resolution supporting a concept for a memorial to the sunken vessel at the Kakaako Waterfront Park in Honolulu.

A delegation of officials from the Ehime prefecture in Japan presented plans for the memorial's design to the state agency, which oversees development of the park.

The memorial would consist of nine black granite blocks engraved with the outline of a ship; the Uwajima Fisheries High School emblem; the names, titles and ages of the victims; and a map showing the accident site, site of the Navy's recovery effort, the ship's final resting place and Aloha Tower.

An anchor from the Ehime Maru also would be incorporated into the design.

A representative from the Ehime prefecture said that his government would raise the estimated $65,000 for construction of the memorial.
