Dedicated to the Sailors and Marines who lost their lives on the final voyage of USS Indianapolis and to those who survived the torment at sea following its sinking. plus the crews that risked their lives in rescue ships.

This ship earned ten (10) battle stars for her service in World War II and was credited for shooting down nine (9) enemy planes.
