The Heavy CRUISER USS Indianapolis is resting on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean a day or two from the vicinity of Tinian Island (from where she dropped off some parts-Atomic type).
Battleships were named after states (USS New Jersey, etc). There is no US state named Indianapolis; therefore she's a cruiser...cruisers were named after cities...Indianapolis is a US city.
US Destroyers were named after US Sailors & US Marines.
US Submarines were named after Fish (any nationality).
US Fleet Carriers (Battle Carriers) were named after Revolutionary War battles/ships (USS Lexington, etc).
US Light Carriers were named after Revolutionary War ships (USS Princeton, etc.).
US Escort Carriers, also known as "Jeep Carriers" & "Baby Flattops" were named after Bays (USS Gambier Bay, etc.).
NONE OF THIS APPLIES TODAY. Today all US ships and submarines are categorized differently and they are not organized the way they were in WWII.
