dramatic disappearance of class cruiser Portland, USS Indianapolis, strongly marked the modern history of navigation, and dark list of deadly incidents between people and sharks. Sinking warships meant that the U.S. Navy history, a sad record: the May high loss of life caused by the sinking of one vessel.

On July 30, 1945, just 14 minutes after midnight, battleship USS Indianapolis was spotted by a Japanese submarine. It was the beginning of an agonizing terror. American ship was hit in the middle of two of the six torpedoes fired on them by the Japanese submarine I-58. The first torpedo exploded in the ship's bow, the water level. The second struck the ship directly in the middle, even in areas where fuel tanks were located and loads of shells and projectiles.Results have led to explosions literally splitting the ship, finally breaking the power supply. Within minutes, the ship began taking water and sinking.
