"Navy Clears USS INDIANAPOLIS Skipper."
"Decades after his court-martial, the Navy has exonerated the late CAPTAIN
Charles B. McVay III, skipper of the USS INDIANAPOLIS when it was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine (I-58) in July of 1945. McVay was held responsible for the
881 deaths resulting from the attack and was convicted in 1946 of "suffering a
vessel to be hazarded through negligence." He remained on active duty until his mandatory retirement in 1949 and committed suicide in 1968."
Excerpt from "NAVAL AFFAIRS" magazine October, 2001.
Have you read "ABANDON SHIP" by Richard F. Newcomb - (2001 paperback edition with Forward and or Afterward by Peter Maas) and "FATAL VOYAGE" by Dan Kurzman - 2001? If you did, then you know "the rest of the story."</HTML>
