In 1945, when the U.S.S. IndianapoIis was sunk by a Japanese submarine, 300 men went down with the ship, while some 900 survived in shark-infested waters. FinaIIy spotted four days later, only 316 men remained aIive. The sinking ignited a firestorm. Captain CharIes B. McVay lIl was eventualIy court-martiaIed, but did the Navy fail to warn him about the enemy sub? ln 1999, the Senate Armed Services Committee agreed to hear testimony. We see how a 12-year-oId's schooI project helped exonerate McVay. |
