The USS Indianapolis was the last major American ship sunk by enemy forces during World War II, with the largest loss of life at sea in US history, as some 300 men went down with the ship and over the next four days another 500 or so died of starvation, exposure, suicide and shark attacks. We know it best from this scene out of “Jaws” below, but now it will be made into a movie, produced by Robert Downey Jr. himself. Via NBC Connecticut.
