The sinking of the USS Indianapolis was a tragic and harrowing event that occurred during World War II. In July 1945, after successfully delivering components for the atomic bomb to the Pacific island of Tinian, the USS Indianapolis was struck by two torpedoes from the Japanese submarine I-58. The torpedoes caused massive explosions, leading to the cruiser's rapid sinking in the Philippine Sea.

Approximately 900 crew members were cast adrift into shark-infested waters. They faced a brutal struggle for survival, dealing with dehydration, exposure, and relentless shark attacks. The crew's distress signal was delayed, and rescue efforts were slow to reach them. By the time they were rescued, four days after the sinking, only 316 of the USS Indianapolis's crew members had survived.
