Explore the harrowing true story of the USS Indianapolis. In July 1945, this naval ship completed a top-secret mission delivering components for the 'Little Boy' nuclear bomb. Tragically, it was torpedoed and sank in 12 minutes, leading to the greatest loss of life at sea from a single vessel in US Navy history. Out of 1,195 crew members, only 316 survived, enduring exposure, dehydration, and shark attacks. Hosted by Colin D. Heaton and a 10th Legion Pictures Production.
