High Tech Search Tools to Find the USS Indianapolis
S2017 E1 - 2m 17s
The USS Indianapolis sank in the deepest ocean on the planet. To have any chance of finding the wreck, the R/V Petrel will need to use two pieces of state of the art technology to search those crushing depths – an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle will survey the seabed floor, and a Remotely Operated Vehicle equipped with a high definition camera will inspect objects identified by the AUV.
Lost at Sea
S2017 E1 - 1m 55s
The attack on the USS Indianapolis was a deadly one – more than 300 of the nearly 1,200 men on board went down with the ship. Many of the 900 survivors are wounded, surrounded by a toxic oil spill, and harassed by sharks. Only 316 survive five days adrift on the Pacific before they are finally rescued.
