Bill Summary
A resolution honoring the Iowans who were killed in or survived the attack on the USS Indianapolis on July 30, 1945.
AI Summary
This resolution, passed by the Iowa House of Representatives, honors the Iowans who were killed in or survived the tragic attack on the USS Indianapolis on July 30, 1945. The USS Indianapolis, a distinguished naval vessel that served as flagship of the Fifth Fleet during World War II and even delivered parts for the first atomic bomb, was struck by two torpedoes from a Japanese submarine while unescorted. This devastating attack caused the ship to sink rapidly, with many of the 1,195 men aboard perishing in the water due to drowning, shark attacks, and exposure before 316 survivors were eventually rescued. Of the 34 Iowans on board, 30 lost their lives, while four ultimately survived the ordeal.
