Likewise FORT JUPITER sailed for many more years so there is no clear explanation (like the ship being sunk) for your uncle to have been in the water during this voyage.
Does the family have a copy of his death certificate and, if so, does that indicate anything?
This is entirely speculative but being aboard a tanker, a crewman might be subject to toxic fumes, with physical damage possibly becoming apparent only at a later date.
