The USS Indianapolis Legacy Organization Education Committee developed this website to honor and pay tribute to the 879 men lost at sea in the sinking of Indianapolis on July 30, 1945. Included also are the names of the nine crew members who were killed in the kamikaze attack of the ship on March 30, 1945.

Also, the committee is dedicated to informing the public of the loss of Indianapolis, considered the worst sea disaster in the history of the US Navy. Committee members travel to schools, historical society meetings, veteran's organizations and other public and private venues requesting a presentation about the men and history of the famed USS Indianapolis.

If you are an educator or someone with an interest in teaching the ship's history, we have free materials you can download to assist you and can be used as handouts to your audience. If you simply want to know more about Indianapolis, these same materials can be a fun way to learn!

If you have additional biographical information and/or photos to submit, please contact us.
