That's an outstanding discovery.

Hearing mention of the Indianapolis always reminds me of Quint's speech in the film Jaws.

Japanese torpedo's aren't so much a risk these days, just need a good watch on board to avoid them container ships & oil tankers :shock: :?:

Now on to finding missing nuclear weapons (broken arrows) and for Paul Allen to become the first individual as a nuclear power (just kidding).
