Left For Dead: Justice for the USS Indianapolis

In July of 1945, Japanese torpedoes sank the USS Indianapolis. No one noticed the ship was missing and the survivors of the attack were stranded in the Pacific Ocean for five nights and four days before help arrived. In 1996, eleven-year-old Hunter Scott researched this incident for a history project. Eventually he brought new evidence about a military cover-up to light and helped to clear the name of the ship’s captain, who had been court-martialed. Bibliography.
