Yes, with a deep-water submersible equipped with sidescan while grid searching an area based on its reported route, spotting by another US ship approximately an hour before sinking, rescued survivor locations, and seasonal winds and tides...

What channel was this on?
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

PBS, they are showing a replay of it tonight. Our local PBS doesnt have it showing tonight, but they are airing it 12 JAN at 1:30 am. I set my DVR to record it. Thanks for the heads up.

The show that was on last night did have survivors who spoke of their experience and many still have survivors guilt as in, "Why did they all die, but I lived?" The most disturbing to me was the survivors who became food for sharks. Wow! That would give you nightmares the rest of your life.
The biggest problem of why it took so long for them to send rescuers is no one knew the Indianapolis was in the area and was sunk. It was chance that a recon plane thought he saw a bunch of coconuts in the water and when he went back and took a low pass, all these coconuts had arms raised up out of the water waving him down. Wow! The Navy did not know the Indianapolis was even missing because some clerk did not do his job right.
Even if you stay up to watch it, it is worth it.

KERA Channel 13 is showing it at 10:30 pm on January 11th.
If you have donated to KERA and have their passport account, you could probably watch it online.

I may have seen this before but just in case I'm recording it. Everytime I hear about the Indianapolis I think of the scene in Jaws when Quint was describing the horror.
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.
Conscience never acquits, it either accuses or excuses.

They referenced the scene in Jaws and what Quint said in the story last night.
