They Delivered the ATOMIC Bomb… Then Were Abandoned at Sea
In July 1945, the USS Indianapolis completed the most secret mission of World War II — delivering the components for the atomic bomb to Tinian Island. Days later, she was struck by two Japanese torpedoes and sank in 12 minutes. 900 men made it into the water. Nobody knew they were there. For four days, the U.S. Navy didn't even know the ship was missing. What happened next is one of the most devastating — and most ignored — stories in American naval history. ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 — The Ship Nobody Came For 1:30 — The Most Secret Mission of WWII 3:30 — Two Torpedoes.
