Were there any other ships in the area ?
Permalink Closed

As often as I read about the INDIANAPOLIS tragedy, i continue to wonder how many ships were within 100 miles at the time of the sinking ? The USS BUCKINGHAM was 40 miles away- were there other ships  out there, that for some reason did not answer / receive the stricken INDIANAPOLIS' distress calls ?

The torpedo knocked out the power in the ship. Radio didnt work so there were no distress calls.
