Terrifying & True | USS Indianapolis: Shark Attacks, Survival & Captain McVay

The USS Indianapolis sank on July 30, 1945, leaving its crew adrift with dehydration, exposure, and shark attacks. Only 316 survived. Terrifying & True follows the secret atomic-bomb delivery mission, the torpedoes from Japanese submarine I-58, and the failure to recognize that a warship was missing. Survivor accounts and the eventual rescue lead to Captain Charles McVay's court-martial and the campaign to clear his name. Beyond the famous Jaws monologue is a disaster whose shark death toll cannot be known. How did hundreds of men vanish between naval bases without an immediate search?
