SPECIAL LINK.
Captain Charles B. McVay III was the commander of the heavy cruiser USS INDIANAPOLIS when she was sunk by a japanese submarine in 1945. Captain McVay survived the sinking and in what closely parallels the story of Captain Turner, was subsequently court-martialled by the US Navy. The parallels in the two men's stories are so close that we heartily recommend visitors to this excellent site. Captain McVay's treatment at the hands of those in authority who wished to save their own necks, was just as shameful as Captain Turner's. Thirty years after the LUSITANIA was sunk, the US Navy still hadn't learned the lessons.
