I remember hearing stories that my uncle passed away during world war II when the ship he was on sank by a torpedo. However, I never new it was the USS Indianopolis until I saw the discovery special concerning sharks yesterday and went to this page and found his name listed as one of the casualties. Unfortunately, I never new him but if anyone can provide me information on what he did on the ship or how he perished that would be great.

Thanks,
Andre

Be sure to include your uncle's name as well so I can reference that on the list.
