Default Side story

Jon and Geoff,

One of the more interesting and tragic side stories relating to the use of "the bomb" during WWII was that of the ill-fated USS Indianapolis (CA-35). See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Indianapolis_(CA-35) for the story of this ship's life and death.

Imagine, four and a half days afloat in shark infested waters...
