USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage 2016

War movie USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage is based on real tragic events that occurred in July 1945 in the Pacific Ocean. The action film USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage is a historical drama on the theme of marine survival.
Command has entrusted top-secret mission to the cruiser Indianapolis to deliver a nuclear bomb to the Tinian Island. Then this bomb was dropped on one of the enemy’s cities. This action led to the end of the war
Completing his mission successfully, Captain McVay gives the command to return to their port. However, a Japanese submarine torpedoed and scuppered USS Indianapolis on the way back.
It was the greatest maritime disaster in US history. As about 300 members from the 1197 men of crew were killed in the explosion of the torpedo. The rest of the men of courage spent five long days in the ocean, poisoned by seawater, were dehydrated, and opposed the constant attack of the killer shark. There were only 371 people for the arrival of aid.
McVay was one of the lucky survivors. However, the drama is only gaining momentum for him. Instead of getting a reward for providing a serious impact on the signing of the act by the Japanese surrender, the captain of Indianapolis went to court-martialed. He was declared the main culprit of the disaster.
Charles McVay did not admit his guilt. He was rehabilitated and restored in all ranks only after half a century.
