Where are the sources for the video?

Declassified records actually showed that 3 US Military stations in the pacific received distress signals from the Indianapolis as she was sinking. Of the commanders of the stations receiving the distress calls, one was drunk and didn’t pass on the information, one had ordered his men that he was not to be disturbed and the third thought it might be a Japanese trap to lure a rescue vessel to the area and ignored the call.

KZread won’t let me post the link but source is Timothy W. Maier “For The Good of the Navy"

A not so fun fact: despite evading the torpedoes being virtually impossible, the navy still court martialed Captain Mcvay for failing to protect the ship. Since this was after the war Hashimoto was invited to the trial, he claimed it would have been impossible to avoid however his court answers were mistranslated to he could have avoided them and was found guilty. He left the navy shortly after and was harassed and threatened by relatives of the dead sailors for the rest of his life until he ended it himself in 1968. Only after his death was the record set straight.

"mistranslated"

The USN's betrayal of Captain Mcvay was disgusting. They turned him into a scapegoat over the protestations of crew and even testimony of Captain Hashimoto that there was nothing he could do to evade the torpedoes. This eventually led Mcvay to commit suicide and it would take until 2000 for the USN to posthumously exonerate Mcvay.

Fun Fact: When the 1980's rolled around a push came for Captain McVay's to be pardoned for the incident. And one of the people pushing for the pardon was Captain Hashimoto himself. Now a Shinto Priest. And at a memorial ceremony at Pearl Harbor Hashimoto stood with the members of the Indianapolis's crew and basically said that he stood with them despite what he did to them decades ago. And a member of the crew said to Hashimoto "I forgive you." Eventually McVay was granted a posthumous pardon.

Cursed in a way, the bombs may have ended the war early, saved millions of allied soldiers ready to invade Japan in the following 2 months, but the specter of doom, the very omen of death they had on board would seal their own fate.

The recounting of the Indianapolis fate by Quint is one of the best scene of Jaws, and that's saying much. Maybe even more frightening than the shark's attacks themselves.

What happened to this ship was a great tragedy, because dying in combat is acceptable, but doing it for not being rescued in time is horrible.

Please make a video on Battle of Imphal-Kohima ww2

Gotta hand it to ya, Baz. You made this whole thing about as soft as possible considering the horror of the whole ordeal. Thanks for that. I steeled myself for the brutality those men faced but that numerical counter ticking down from 892 all the way down to 316 was the worst part. Knowing each of those men plus the ones lost in the torpedoing and sinking all had their own unique life story and background going into this conflict is just too unbearable to cover in an educational video like this much less an entire full feature length documentary film. Thanks for all the great historical lessons, BazBattles! Keep 'em comin'.

I can only imagine the sting of being rescued by a destroyer, aftering being denied one for escort.

Crazy to think about this incident if it would happen before they delivered the cargo for the bombs. It would not be possible to drop the bombs without these parts they brought in. It would probably delay the bomb drops by weeks at least.

Hey Bazbattles, how about a video about the Third Servile War (aka, the Spartacan Rebellion), specifically the Battle of the Silarus River.

I’m happy Captain Quint survived.

Dude with Marine Science degree here who's a total shark nerd....the sharks were NOT attracted by the smell of blood. It was the NOISE. Human blood lacks an amino acid that is found in fish. So our blood scent is unfamiliar to them. But SOUND travels way faster underwater. So they heard that and were drawn to it. The main shark responsible is the Oceanic Whitetip, which swims in the open ocean, especially near the surface. In fact, that shark was the one most feared by Jacques Cousteau. But blood won't attract them. EDIT: Will add that the men were all kicking and screaming. These erratic movements tend to imitate wounded prey, triggering the shark's curiosity. Holding still tends to make a shark less interested, but with sooooo many men acting like that, this only made them more curious. I've even noticed this myself when a bull shark bumped into my tank. Once I held still and made myself look as big as possible, she turned away.

History often has a rather funny & poetic way of delivering justice...

Next do the USS liberty incident!

BazBattles !!!

BazBattles post again!

Please make a video on Battle of Imphal-Kohima ww2 and the British Pacific Fleet

Please do more sea battles of WW2

makes me wonder though, what was in those boxes?

If you don’t mind me asking but can you do a video on the final voyage of the Uss Monitor and the Uss Monitor was a famous ironclad warship during the American civil war and the final voyage would take place on New Year’s Eve 1862 and what happened was the monitor was ordered to Beaufort North Carolina where it was to join the Uss Passaic and Uss Montauk for a joint army navy expedition against Wilmington North Carolina and then the monitor would join the union blockade off Charleston South Carolina and on New Year’s Eve the monitor put to sea. But as the ship got to Cape Hatteras the monitor was in trouble as a heavy storm was in the area and increased in ferocity with large waves splashing over and completely covering the deck and pilot house and the crew temporarily rigged the wheel atop the turret but then the water flooded the vents and ports and the ship began rolling uncontrollably and it sometimes would drop into a wave with such force that the entire hull would tremble and then the monitor was hit by a squall and then water entered the engine room and commandeer ordered the anchor to drop to stop the ship from rolling around and eventually the ship sunk with the loss of sixteen men. Or if you don’t feel like doing a video on the final voyage of the monitor I would like to see a video on the sinking of Uss Housatonic and the Housatonic was sunk by a kind enemy that 50 years after the Housatonic sunk would return and prey the oceans in ww1 and the kind of enemy was the submarine and even though there were many early submarines none was more famous and dangerous than the first military submarine to hunt the underseas water and this submarine was the confederate submarine H L Hunley and the sunk the Housatonic by using a gun powder filled keg on a spar as a torpedo charge.
