The Worst Shark Attack In U.S. History Happened In 1945—And It Was Nothing Short Of A Feeding Frenzy
On July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis, a U.S. Navy cruiser, was torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine while en route to the Philippines. The catastrophic event led to one of the deadliest shark attacks in recorded history, an unprecedented feeding frenzy that would leave an indelible mark on the nation.
As the survivors clung to debris or each other for survival, a relentless procession of sharks began to circle and strike. The oceanic whitetip sharks, known for their speed and aggression, took advantage of the chaos to feast upon the helpless sailors. The horror was palpable as men were dragged underwater by their attackers, their screams and struggles muffled by the water.
The USS Indianapolis’s story is a stark reminder that even in the face of war and tragedy, nature can still exact its cruel toll.
