U.S.S. Indianapolis Jaws Version

I made this video for educational reasons. This video tells the TRUE story of the U.S.S. Indianapolis, On 30 July 1945, shortly AFTER delivering critical parts for the first atomic bomb to be used in combat to the United States air base at Tinian, the ship was torpedoed by the Imperial Japanese Navy submarine I-58, sinking in 14 minutes. Of 1,196 crew aboard, approximately 300 went down with the ship. The remaining crew of 800 faced exposure, dehydration and shark attacks as they waited for assistance while floating with few lifeboats and almost no food or water.

I would like to Thank MGM for the use of their Audiovisual content and I would like to thank NBC Universal for the use of their Audiovisual content.

I am seriously shocked that anyone would dislike this! My grandpa is 89 years old and a current survior of the sinking of the USS Indinapolis. The movie does a good job telling the story but it is nothing compared to hearing it first hand form many survivors!

@katie8809 I think most of the negative votes are people voting that they did not like what happened not that they hate the story, or the people involved. Your grandpa was a hero. The bomb saved far more lives, Japanese and american, than most people understand. If america had to invade Japan the Japanese would have fought to the death as was their thinking at the time. USA would have been forced to kill over 75% of the population instead of the relatively few killed by the bomb

What happend to Capt. Charles B. McVay III was a true crime. You think that Congress exonering him after all these years will change all this? IT'S TOO LATE! Congress and families drove him to his death and his blood is on their hands! Rest in peac Capt. McVay, your bravery will not be forgotten nor the injustice that our "great nation" has done to you.

Rear Admiral Charles Butler McVay III (July 30, 1898 - November 6, 1968)

It should be known that at the court martial of USS Indianapolis’ Captain McVay after the war, the Japanese submarine commander Mochitura Hasimoto testified in defense of McCay that zig-zagging would have made no difference given the chance close proximity of his submarine. The prosecution and conviction of Captain McCay remains to this day a POX on the US Navy - excepting Admiral Nimitz and those other flag officers who recommended against the court martial.

@goldenhorde1990 No, they were of healthy weight, generally speaking. It's just now the majority are bloated fat asses.

The Indianapolis didnt sink by the stern. Unrealistic movie is unrealistic.
