The USS Indianapolis (CA-35) was a Portland-class heavy cruiser of the United States Navy, launched in 1931. It is most famously known for its tragic sinking in July 1945, after being torpedoed by a Japanese submarine shortly after delivering components for the atomic bomb to Tinian. Of the nearly 1,200 crew members, only 316 survived, facing exposure, shark attacks, and dehydration while stranded at sea for days before rescue. The incident highlighted significant issues in naval communication and led to changes in protocols for ship safety and crew welfare.
