The Sinking of The Indianapolis
As narrated by Loel Dene "L.D." Cox
Seaman First Class - U.S.S. Indianapolis

On July 30, 1945, the U.S.S. Indianapolis, on its return trip from delivering key components of the first atomic bomb to the air base at Tinian Island for delivery to Hiroshima, was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine.
Only 316 out of 1,196 men survived the sinking and shark-infested waters.
