Finally, the nation heard some good, if bittersweet, news.
On Saturday, billionaire Paul Allen announced that a search team he funded had finally found the long-lost USS Indianapolis.

The World War II cruiser lies at the bottom of the Pacific at a whopping depth of over 18000 feet. She has rested there, undiscovered, for over 72 years after being sunk by a Japanese submarine.
Allen said, in a statement:
“To be able to honor the brave men of the USS Indianapolis and their families through the discovery of a ship that played such a significant role in ending World War II is truly humbling.”
“As Americans, we all owe a debt of gratitude to the crew for their courage, persistence and sacrifice in the face of horrendous circumstances. While our search for the rest of the wreckage will continue, I hope everyone connected to this historic ship will feel some measure of closure at this discovery so long in coming.”
The sinking of the USS Indianapolis is a tale of a secret mission and naval negligence. It’s also a saga of men adrift at sea, suffering sun, starvation, dehydration, and shark attacks. Lots and lots of shark attacks.
