what the Navy did to the captain of that ship is disgraceful
ericpieper69 of all the captains who lost their ships, only captain McVeigh was court martialed for the loss of his ship and the family has been trying to clear his name ever since.
What happened did he not go down with the ship?
Tom Butcher no he survived. But taunted by the loss of his crew and by people he killed himself
@@chrisduitsman2918 the Navy did clear his name but it was after he took his own life.
The US Navy has a history of blackballing someone when a accident or mishap occurs. Do a search of the USS Iowa turret #2 explosion.
My grandfather was originally stationed on the Indianapolis, but was transferred to a new post on a different ship. Almost certainly saved his life, and by extension, my father’s, my siblings’ and mine.
My father's cousin was on that ship . David Ernest Parke was a pilot of the Kingfisher observation planes she carried . My parents named me in honor of him . I am amazed how many times the number 35 has come up in my life !
Neat story but, the cruisers carried Curtiss Seagulls then the Curtiss SC Seahawk with fold up wings to fit in the hangers. My dad was on the USS Louisville CA 28 near sister ship from 1943-46 and passed in 2017 at almost 93 years old. Take care!
That's like me. Dad was a Seabee in the 111th special battalion. Part of special forces in those days He helped unload the bomb sections. He said the John Wayne movie was pretty darn close to how it really was. Now I know why he bought a house with the number 111 on it to raise us in?! That number has popped up a few times in my 63 years. So I get your drift.

was gonna upvote your comment but I'ma leave it at 35
My grandmother’s brother survived. When he arrived home, he abandoned the family and never returned. He completely changed and suffered from PTSD. His name was Charles Ringheiser. He moved away and spent the next 45 years in depression and isolation. The family tried to reach out, but to no avail. Sad......
Actually, declassified docs showed that three SOS messages were sent and received, but all were disregarded unfortunately.
Ship was told to not break radio silence, they were told if you're hit you sink we won't be coming(mission was that top secret), if those docs are to be believed, the us navy had no choice but to see it as a trap.
Eternatty they were disregarded because they thought it was a trap by the Japanese
@@hfdshrimp3973
A trap by the Japanese?.Did the IJN set American ships up?.USN has set the IJN up many times because of codebreakers and the help of the radar.The Japanese were late to adopt the latter.
I thank him for his service and may God bless all those who lost their lives serving our country.
A man from my town was one of the 300 that went with her when she sank. His neighbor was killed on the Arizona and he was killed on the Indianapolis. They were CT’s first and last WW2 vets to die in the war
( I point my head down, shut my eyes, and hold my hat in hand over my heart out of respect ) May they R.I.P.
My grandfather was assigned to her....He contracted pneumonia and was hospitalized and missed her shipping out.
i went to church 10 yrs ago with a man named abe he was on the ship but was onleave when it sank i dont know if he is still alive i hope he is so he can see this to bad it took so long rip sailors you did youre job the country is proud of you thank you
My cousin William Nugent died from the sinking of the Indianapolis. He died just before rescue.
🙏🇺🇲🙏
Sorry for your loss 🙏
I'm glad after all these years she was finally found, I can only hope that this offers closure to the men who served on her.
🙏🇺🇲🙏
Look at this amazing discovery. Shows like 30 seconds of it the rest is entertainment journalist.
Fun fact, when we dropped the bomb that was delivered from the Indianapolis, it was written on the nose of it. The inscription read For the souls of the Indianapolis.
I remember renting a national geographic video back around 2000 or 2001 from my local library about Robert Ballard looking for her
Captain Charles B. McVay III was court-martialed for Failing to take evasive manuvers in hostils territory in favorable conditions.
*In short, he was Court-martialed for not zigzagging. Even the captain of the I-85 (Captain of the Japanese Submarine that torpedoed and sunk the Indianapolis) even testified that he and his sub could've easily Torpedoed the Indianapolis weather it was there was calm waters or not. Let alone if she was taking evasive maneuvers or not. Making McVay the only Captain U.S. Naval Captain to be Court-martialed without the Agreement of his superiors.*
Captain Charles B. McVay III was stricken from the U.S. Navy board. and later Comitted Suicide shorty after the war ended. He was found with the gun in one hand, and a Toy Naval soilder his father made him in the other.
Rest in peace to the USS Indianapolis and her dead crew . May God have mercy on their soul's .
I believe I heard this brave man passed away this week....R.I.P.....R E S P E C T.
My Dad never talked about the War, he was a sailor in the South Pacific in WWII and all he ever said about his younger brother was that he died in WWII and that his mother died of a broken heart shortly afterwards.
It would be many years later that I would find out on my own that my uncle Bob was an 18 year old sailor that was on the USS Indianapolis, his remains were never found. He's got a memorial marker at the cemetery and his name on a few walls. By the time I was born they were both deceased so I never got to meet my uncle Bob or my grandmother 😢💔
SOS was received three times but US Navy ignored it and was covering up this fact for many years, even in this movie they are saying it was not received...
thats the military for ya,,you are on your own
A large majority of Naval forces in that vicinity had no clue she was out there. It was assumed that the SOS calls were sent by the Japanese as a trap.
That man was 92 with a full head of hair
that former sailor sure didn't move like a 92 year-old man and he had full faculty of his speech. I'm impressed.
He's high speed.
my friend lost his hair at 25. yikes.
No kidding. I started going bald in my twenties..lol
BRING UP THE BELLS FROM THE SHIP
it wont be. If you watch the entire live stream, Indiana already has the original builders bell, so they stated there is no reason to bring the ships bell up.
Would be nice to see more of the ship instead of the reporter who showed the 40mm from a carrier instead of the Indy.
Thats the USS Hornet off the Japanese coast in February 1945
Glad she has finally been found. Part of the video shows submarine wreckage..upright wreck with a conning tower evident. Anyone else see this?
I didn't notice that until I read your comment. Certainly doesn't look like any part of a ship I have ever seen.
I think it is actually part of the float assembly that was attached to the floatplanes stored on the ship.
As Shaun said, that’s one of the floats from a scout plane
Sir Boomsalot no way there is no float that big
Sir Boomsalot that’s looks like a conning tower indeed, maybe a sub?
looks like it's in great shape
Awesome. I just got finished watching the movie. The USS Indianapolis. Please watch great movie! ❤❤❤❤
Germany had Bismarck 🇩🇪 Britain had the Hood 🇬🇧 America had the Indy 🇺🇸
Greatest loss of life of the greatest generation.
Bring her bell home!!!!
That is cool how it's right side up because it capsized and went down. Nose first where screws where out of water
More photos. Less talking.
I'm proud to say that my Grandfather James W. Smith is here still today to share with me and so many others about the U.S.S Indianapolis and the true story on what happen to them ( the crew of the U.S.S Indianapolis) those 5 days. I love you Grandpa and to those that have passed on may they finally find peace with our Father in Heaven... By: Steven Wayne Edwards Jr grandson of James W. Smith
Did he see they found her?
Terrible to survive the torpedo attack, the sinking, then starve & dehydrate for 3 days, watching fellow crewmen getting eaten by sharks!!!
The reporter said the clip showing the 40mm guns being fired were from the Indianapolis is wrong. That clip most likely came from the side of an aircraft carrier. But, he's very young and didn't study the war, so he didn't know.
smart reporter
Ken Owens...Yes. The 40's pictured firing are on the USS Lexington, according to every caption I've ever seen, but they are certainly on a Essex class carrier at any rate. In the full frame you can see the deck edge elevator for crying out loud. I wish these folks would do a little research before saying things just for effect.
And, he said they were dual 40s, when the guns in the picture were quad 40s
You're expecting the media to get something correct, mistake number one.
USS Indianapolis CA 35 should have had a destroyer to escort her especially since a ship was torpedoed there a few weeks earlier and sunk. My dad who passed in 2017 at 92 was on the Heavy Cruiser USS Louisville CA 28 from 1943-46 and she was hit by kamikaze in Lingayen Gulf in Jan. 1945 with the loss of 51 sailors and Rear Admiral Theodore Chandler and over 150 men wounded. The USS Louisville completed bombardment assignment was escorted back to Mare Island for repairs. You need a destroyer to track and sink those subs. God bless our service men and women - past and present!
Reason they didn't was because it was on a top secret mission. The US didn't want to blow the cover of the atomic bombs.
@@jsoe81657 Should have had a destroyer after dropping off the main components of the bomb for on the way to Tinian the Indy was setting speed records.
Tony Trotta that’s the point, it’s supposed to not look suspicious, that’s why the navy took the risk
@@mattxgaming4053 From Tinian the Indy should have had an escort for the main part of the bomb was delivered! USS Indianapolis was on her way reporting to her fleet for more bombarding. The secret mission was over at that time.
@@jsoe81657 the bomb had already been delivered and it was on its way to another assingment.
Wow... Very interesting!
ABSOLUTELY! A terrible Justice was done to Captain McVey of the Indianapolis! His career ruined, is brave crew mostly lost, due to a military ship at Sea not being reported missing.... that doesn't sound like anything it within a ship's captains control! Still, our government threw him out of the military ripped him off for his veterans benefits until he committed suicide in 1964. By the way his widow also got to suffer for that unfairly. Captain Charles Butler McVay was not Vindicated until 1986 by then just how much veterans benefits in medical were those people cheated out of by their government that they went and fought for? Shame on you dirty Uncle Sam!
Just curious, what is that at 17 seconds
Says they found the Indianapolis: shows a submarine.
Wow
The so called wonderful US Navy killed 1,100 of the sailors by ignoring there sos,and then leaving the rest too die of sharks and exposure.The top Admiral and the president should of been jailed for failure too react.Instead the worthless Admiral blames the Captain of the ship.
Politics for you, it even happens in the military
@@bloodrave9578 thing was that they were ordered not to break radio silence due to the mission. However there were questions about why there was no escort.
@@jsoe81657 2 or 3 DDs would have at least saved more lives by either getting the survivors out ASAP or preventing the sinking in the first place.
I had family on her. (lived)
Have all the books as well.
Glad she is found.
SALUTE to the crew. THANK YOU for the sacrifice you made so my family and I can live free in this great nation.
The big navy brass needed a scapegoat to cover their butts. Captain McVay was that guy.
Portland must have been really depressed
SOS was sent and 3 stations received it, but none responded
The Bell should be saved and brought to land as a Memorial like the Hood's. I really think Paul Allen and other researchers should try to better document old wrecks as well. Hood and Scharnhorst being two of them. There are barely any pictures of either ship though the Hood's bell was raised.
it wont be. If you watch the entire live stream, Indiana already has the original builders bell, so they stated there is no reason to bring the ships bell up.
(1) of the USS Indianapolis ship's bell was removed to save weight prior to the mission and it is on display in Indianapolis.
Hoods pretty well documented, but I agree on Scharnhorst.
RIP papa may u join the rest of the men from the indi 🫡🇺🇸
🙏
Get your info straight.. The Indianapolis DID send an SOS, it was ignored as it was returning from a top secret mission.
Quint's story comes to mind here. There mission was so secret, he said no distress signal had been sent? It made sense really, since the Japanese & Germans would be listening to radio transmissions. As an interesting aside here, my father was one of the Seabee's that helped unload the crates of the bomb sections. He always insisted the Hiroshima bomb and the Nagasaki one were shipped in sections. The Seabee's unloaded them and they were assembled in the Quonset hut's they'd built. That's the story as I got it from someone who was there.
One of the greatest characters in cinematic history.
Its actually so deep into the Pacific its actually 1 mile between the grave of the titanic
They recently broke the record with that C-2 Greyhound recovery located @ approximately 18,500 ft down in the Philippines.
18,044
@@jrunberg that was shattered by the discovery of the main wreckage of the USS Johnston at 21,180
more than a mile the Titanic 12,500 feet (2.5 miles down) USS Indianapolis 18,044 feet or about four miles down
@@jrunberg actually the Blockade Runner SS Rio Grande is just slightly deeper in the Atlantic at 18,890 feet
Dank
Kanaka Ken yeah sure 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Down with Russia idiot.
Sad portland noises*
Let me catch this guy saying “the indi” one more time
#UNREAL
So, let me clarify, the atomic bomb parts did not go down with the ship?
Since they already delivered them
Harrison Ressler Yeah. The ship delivered the parts to I believe Tinnian then set course for Guam where she was struck by the two torpedoes.
She was told to report for more training, the captain even requested for a destroyers escort but it was denied for there not being any recent reports of submarine activity, which was wrong as earlier that week there had been some exchanges.
@@l.cressey6806 Tinian
1:13 I first thought that was a torpedo going to the boat lmao
ship
Are all war graves classified? Is all the property of the US govt classified?
The reason the location is not being released is because they dont want scavengers taking parts from it because the ship is a war grave.
I swear the reporter, Vlad, is saying "WarWar Two"
He has a nice shirt.
He did
Every BattleShip Had Their Death's Or Their End Of Their Journey Battle When Day Head Out To Sea
the Indianapolis was a Portland Class Heavy Cruiser
Men where picked off like fly hatch in trout pond hundreds lived threw the sinking the sharks had smorgasbord
And the navy did receive a sos from the ship they removed it from the record and Jen they court marshaled the captain they didn’t bring it up in court
why is its location being kept secret? i dont get that
Derek Wall The exact location is being kept secret out of respect for the families of the Indy's crew and to protect the wreck from deep-water salvagers.
18000 feet deep yeah what's the deal.
It’s deep, but they want to be sure they won’t be salvaged. Salvagers have been raiding those old WWII wrecks for years. De Ruyter and Java are gone, Houston and Perth and missing large parts, Prince of Wales and Repulse have been blown open, Shigure is a pile of metal, and many more. Although it is still unlikely could get that deep
They probably want to keep it from being ravaged by scavengers and souvenir hunters like the titanic was, the ships a war grave.
@@TheAtlantaRailfan makes sense
How could anyone say anything bad about this story/movie when this story/movie is based off true effects worse than any horror movie out there? Even in words its unimaginable how any person in their shoes possibly say what's that is like especially when you have never been in that situation or ever will. It was never the captain McVays fault it was the navy that blamed the captain. Also when a ship or submarine is targeted the vessel has no chance of getting away no matter what it does to get away it will be sunk or killed never their fault.
The movie was pretty bad.
@@shawnc1016 Based on a true story. Can you imagine being one of these men having the navy forget about you and swimming with sharks never knowing if or when you were going to get rescued?
They left their crew to die in those shark infested waters.
🇺🇸
time to search uss gambier bay that sunk on philippines trench at 7200 meters deep
they don't know how far down the Gambier Bay is
@@robertyoung3992 gambier bay sink location is known there is also a japanese ship that sink in philippine trench with 1500 people inside
she was sunk during the Battle off Samar on 25 October 1944
All because of nuclear bomb secrecy
Alot Of Men Die The Another's Was Eaten By Big Sharks
Excuse me, it was not just "that ship" 😡. Does this stupid news guy even know the significance of the USS Indianapolis? Oh wait it's CBS so the answer is no.
Just to think I've ⛵ sailed throughout the Philippines seas onboard various U.S. Naval ships. I've constantly thought of the war fought there and the future wars to come. Rest at peace for as long as it stands. With trump currently at the helm...Peace is short lived
You were wrong.
trump set this crap in motion , if it wasn't for the weapons russi a would've claimed victory
Too bad she wasn’t sunk before she delivered her cargo.
Why, the a bomb was horrible but a land invasion would not only have killed more on both sides.but would have prevented any reconciliation. Also the fear of these weapons has until now prevented a third world war
She was sunk after she delivered the A-bomb parts
God struck this ship down because it knew what it had done.
People like trump can never appreciate the sacrifice of the men of the Indianapolis.....rest in peace. Bravo Zulu!
why do you got to bring Trump into it you stupid f***
Let’s go Brandon
Bad comment. Now, you owe me some gas money!!!
