The podcast network Wondery has a series of dramatic re-enactments of the sinking. (They are very good.) Here is a link that may assist. – S. Rich (talk) 03:48, 27 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Last survivors

edit

"As of January 2022, there are just two remaining survivors of the Indianapolis.[60]" The reference cited is dated 8 May 21 and says there were at that time five living survivors. Per https://www.facebook.com/USSIndianapolisOfficial there are indeed two remaining survivors -- Harold Bray and Cleatus Lebow -- but Facebook is of course not an acceptable source and someone will need to verify this. Will these suffice?

USS Juneau in lead

edit

The mention of the USS Juneau (CL-52) seems out of place in the lead. It seems to me that it would be better placed under "See also". Thoughts? Carguychris (talk) 19:38, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Carguychris, I agree that the mention of the USS Juneau ought to be in "See also" instead of the lead. Cullen328 (talk) 19:43, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
No other responses, so I moved it. Carguychris (talk) 23:22, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
