USS Indianapolis Museum

The USS Indianapolis deserves a place in history not just as one of the worst at sea naval disasters in history, but also for its pivotal role during and at the ending of World War II. The ship, a 610 foot, 9,800-ton Portland class heavy cruiser was commissioned in 1932. She was selected as his “Ship of State” by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. During the war, the USS Indianapolis became the Flagship of the Fifth Fleet, endured a Kamikaze attack and was part of some of the most decisive battles of the war and earned 10 battle stars.

The USS Indianapolis Museum, located in the ship’s namesake city, will provide a permanent home for the archives, artifacts and memories of all the men who served on this historic cruiser from 1932 to 1945.
