Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
More than 800 American men died in the sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis, one of the worst naval disasters of World War II. Survivors spent four days and five nights adrift in the Pacific, fighting off shark attacks. Today many survivors believe the captain of that ship was wrongly court-martialed, and are trying to persuade Congress to make an official acknowledgment. A panel talks about what really happened to the U.S.S. Indianapolis.
Guests
- Dan Kurzman Author
- Mike Monroney Honorary member of the U.S.S. Indianapolis Survivors Organization
- Harlan Twible Survivor of the U.S.S. Indianapolis
- Charles McVay IV Son of Captain Charles Butler McVay III
