U.S.S. Indianapolis Exhibit Opens Today In It's Namesake City

Anyone who's read all about World-War II knows the tragic story of the USS Indianapolis- sank by the Japanese after she delivered the components for the atomic bomb to Hawaii.

The City of Indianapolis opens an exhibit about the ship and her ill-fated crew today.
