The USS Indianapolis, on a secret mission to deliver components for the Hiroshima atomic bomb, was sunk by Japanese torpedoes on July 30, 1945. Of the 1,195 crew members, 316 survived after being adrift for four days, facing shark attacks and harsh conditions. The ship sank in 12 minutes, trapping over 300 men inside. The sinking was not immediately reported due to the ship's secret mission and radio silence.
