Delivering The Bomb: Deaths Upon Deaths
Before the world's first two atomic bombs could be dropped on target in Japan, they had to be delivered to the bombers who would actually fly the missions. The <i>USS Indianapolis</i>, a US Navy heavy cruiser, just after delivering the bomb components to Tinian, near the coast of Japan, went down with two IJN torpedoes in her hull. Many survived the sinking. Then the sharks came.
