As I recall it, the USS Indianapolis was sunk after Japan surrendered. Horrible luck and horrible timing.

Wow that's a lot of history there. Do they plan to explore or actually raise it?

It is being respected as a grave, since nearly half of the crew went down with the ship. I hope for exploration, but leave her be.
