This organization was created to ensure that the story of the ship, and the men who served aboard her, is never lost to time. What began as a grassroots effort led by survivors and families has grown into a community united by remembrance, research, and a deep sense of responsibility. Today, we carry forward the voices of those who were there, along with those who have spent decades preserving their stories.

Our mission is simple, but deeply important: to honor every man who served USS Indianapolis and to make sure their sacrifice, courage, and humanity are remembered for generations to come.

We are made up largely of families of survivors, those lost at sea, rescue and recovery crews, and others whose lives have been shaped by this history. Together, we work to preserve the truth, support ongoing research, and share this story with the wider world through education, outreach, and community.

Whether you are here because of a personal connection, a desire to learn, or a commitment to honoring history, you are part of this story now.

Welcome to the Indy family.
