A ship that definitely needs to be found. I believe a search for her was conducted several years ago but to no avail. I'll see if I can find it...

Discovery Channel: News from The Search - Dispatch 10

Looks like the Discovery site doesn't host that news anymore...

Ah ha, here's the site for the book I've got (scored from second hand book shop in good nick!):

In Harm's Way: The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors, by Doug Stanton - looks like the search used the same company and equipment used to find HMAS Sydney and the Kormoran. Another job for David Mearns?

In Harm's Way: The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors, by Doug Stanton - hmm, this book might have just picked itself to be read next!

USS Indianapolis CA-35
