The sad story of the U.S.S. Indianapolis

Most the guys interviewed mentioned that they and others just didn't want to talk about it for a long time

One of my uncles, now gone, was on some of the Pacific Islands, he was a marine. He wasin't the first to go in but saw a lot of bad action. he would not talk about it.

On a side note, he and my father both ended up on I think it was Okinawa when things cooled down. This was a complete accident. My Dad and he both were living in what would be my home town. Uncle Bill was Marine, my Dad was Army, so it was just weird coincidence. One Sunday my Uncle had found out Dad was there, walked over to his outfit and they had a visit. I've no idea how he found out, with mail being censored, etc
