The Real Story Of The USS Indianapolis
On July 30, 1945, after delivering the first working nuclear bomb (called "Little Boy" which was later dropped on Hiroshima) to the U.S. Navy base at Tinian in the Mariana Islands, the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by the Japanese. She sank in 12 minutes. While she had a crew of 1,196, only 317 survived the entire ordeal with 300 dying in the sinking. This was the largest loss of life in a single event in the history of the U.S. Navy. The sinking of the ship was horrifying, but the survival story afterwards was worse... This is the story of four of those survivors, told in their own words.
