My wife's Grandfather had served on the Indianapolis during WWII. He was dropped off in Guam a few days before it's sinking, he had gotten severely ill.
Most of the family didn't know he had been on the Indianapolis, just that he had been in the Navy. Wife and I started asking him questions in the years just before he died. |

If you read the article she wasn't listed as overdue because of the secrecy of the mission. I take it to mean that nobody knew she was gone. She'd probably been radio silent for a while. |

Closure for the families maybe. Would love to see some pics. You know, when they find the heads of the victims in the serial killer's refrigerator, that really DOESN'T give "closure" to the victim's families. It just means "they know what happened their heads now." |

And while it may not seem like much, it can often be an end to a family that keeps thinking, they just might be alive out there. That is not the case here, but in the example you presented it does (from what families have said) bring about some closure. Quote HistoryQuoted:

ETA - looked it up 32.7 knots - just faster that the Iowa class, not as heavily gunned or armoured |

I think she still holds the surface speed record from San Francisco to Pearl. The Portland class was fast. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
No matter how secret the mission, there was some number of people ashore who KNEW she was overdue. The questions that should be asked is who, and what actions did they take, or why didn't they? When she was sunk, the TS part of the mission was complete, and her movement should have been no more classified than any other Cruiser. |

Just last year, this man spoke to us at our church. An impressive man, to say the least.
He didn't go down with the ship because he chose to sleep on the deck that night because it was too hot in his berthing compartment. The next four and 1/2 days were hell.
