One Of The Few Survivors Of The USS Indianapolis
Days after the USS Indianapolis secretly delivered the components of the atomic bomb that was to be dropped on Hiroshima, it was torpedoed at sea by a Japanese submarine. The July 30, 1945, incident left nearly 1,000 men adrift in the Philippine Sea — with the vessel's oil burning men to death and sharks eating them alive. Seen here is one of only 316 surviving sailors.
