Heavy Cruiser Indianapolis was a warship completed in 1932 and was put into missions in nearly all periods of World War II that began in 1941. Although it was Indianapolis who gave a number of achievements, the secret mission accomplished in July 1945 was the last mission. Indianapolis carries parts of the parts and nuclear weapons used for atomic bombs scheduled to be dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in San Francisco and carries it to the Tinian island which the US military of that time was using as a frontline base of the mainland air raid in Japan I will be given the assignment.

Indianapolis arrived on Tinian on 26th July and unloaded the secret cargo, afterwards, headed for Leyte via Guam Island, but at that time the former Japanese navy submarine "I 58" 6 shots firedOxygen torpedoThree of them hit, and Indianapolis, which suffered great damage on the side of the ship, quickly sunk in a short time of just 12 minutes from the shot. At that time, about 300 people out of about 1196 crew members sank in the sea with the ship, and about 800 others escaped before sinking, but due to dehydration symptoms and shark attacks during the drifting for several days It has resulted in only 317 people who lost their lives and were rescued by the rescue team. In addition, 22 of them are still alive.

Mr. Allen said, "By discovering Indianapolis who played a remarkable role during the Second World War, being able to show respect for the brave men and their families aboard the ship is a very godly feeling We hold our gratitude as Americans against the courage of soldiers who faced the situation of menace and the sense of mission to accomplish and the sacrifice.An exploration of remnants that have not been found yet We also can continue, but I hope people related to this historic ship will feel a certain end by this discovery.
