USS Indianapolis National Memorial (2) - 13 October 2016

USS Indianapolis National Memorial (2) - 13 October 2016
The story of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis (CA-35) late in WWII on 30 July 1945 is sad and convoluted.

The ship and those lost with it are commemorated by the USS indianapolis National Memorial on Canal Walk in the city for which she was named.

Rather than write here at great length, I recommend that you read the history as it is well worth the few minutes it will take.
