USS Indianapolis 2016 Reunion Memorial Service
The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis
USS Indianapolis (CL/CA-35) was a Portland-class cruiser of the United States Navy. She was named for the city of Indianapolis, Indiana.
She was flagship for Admiral Raymond Spruance while he commanded the Fifth Fleet in battles across the Central Pacific. Her sinking led to the greatest single loss of life at sea in the history of the U.S. Navy. On 30 July 1945, after delivering parts for the first atomic bomb to the United States air base at Tinian, the ship was torpedoed by the Imperial Japanese Navy submarine I-58, sinking in 12 minutes. Of 1,196 crewmen aboard, approximately 300 went down with the ship.
The remaining 900 faced exposure, dehydration, saltwater poisoning, and shark attacks while floating with few lifeboats and almost no food or water. The Navy learned of the sinking when survivors were spotted four days later by the crew of a PV-1 Ventura on routine patrol. Only 317 survived.

Cruisin' Indianapolis
Indianapolis (''Indy'') is the capital of the U.S. state of Indiana and it is the largest city in Indiana, with 12.8 percent of the state's total population. As of the 2010 census, the city's population is 820,445. It is the 12th-largest city in the United States (the third largest state capital) and the 29th-largest metropolitan area in the United States.
The city is second only to Washington, D.C., for the number of war monuments inside city limits. Both Forbes and Livability.com rank Indianapolis among the best downtowns in the United States citing more than 200 retail shops, more than 35 hotels, nearly 300 restaurants and food options, movie theaters, sports venues, museums, art galleries and parks as attractions
High rise construction in Indianapolis started in 1888 with the 256-foot (78m) high Indiana Statehouse, followed by the 284-foot (87m) Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument in 1898. However, because of a special ordinance disallowing building higher than the structure, the monument remained the highest structure until the completion of the City-County Building in 1962.
Many of Indiana's largest and most recognized companies are headquartered in Indianapolis. Before Detroit came to dominate the American automobile industry, Indianapolis was also home to a number of carmakers, including Duesenberg, Marmon Motor Car Company and Stutz Motor Company.
8 miles of trail!
Constructed between 2007 and 2013, the Indianapolis Cultural Trail (a $63 million project with $864.5 million of estimated economic impact) is an urban bike and pedestrian path that connects the city's five downtown Cultural Districts, neighborhoods and entertainment amenities, and serves as the downtown hub for the entire central Indiana greenway system. The trail includes benches, bike racks, lighting, signage and 26 bike rentals/drop-offs (250 bikes) along the way and also features local art work. It was officially opened in May 2013.

The USS Indianapolis Memorial and Canal Walk
I want to thank from the bottom of my heart all the military servicemen and women who have died and who are currently serving to protect our freedom's here in this country. I would not have this opportunity to travel and see this beautiful country if it wasn't for the men and women who have died and fought to protect our freedom's.
I am thankful every day for the sacrifice these men and women do for their country. May God keep them all safe and our country safe from the people that want to harm us.
I think of my life now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and my soul purpose in life now is to have the utmost fun playing out my part.

USS Indianapolis was a heavy cruiser of the United States Navy. She was named for the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. She was the flagship of Admiral Raymond Spruance while he commanded the Fifth Fleet in battles across the Central Pacific. Her sinking led to the greatest single loss of life at sea in the history of the U.S. Navy.

Of 1,196 crewmen aboard, approximately 300 went down with the ship. The remaining 900 faced exposure, dehydration, saltwater poisoning, and shark attacks while floating with few lifeboats and almost no food or water.
