In the dark and silent waters of the South Pacific, the famous American cruiser USS Indianapolis had just completed its missile delivery mission and was returning. At this time, the Pacific War was about to end, and people's hearts were filled with anticipation and hope; the over 1,200 crew members aboard were completely unaware of the impending misfortune. Suddenly, the USS Indianapolis was subjected to fierce attacks by the enemy, its central control system completely paralyzed. The captain was unable to organize the crew's escape or send an SOS signal for help; chaos, panic, and madness reigned. In just 12 minutes, the ship sank beneath the waves, 400 people perishing with it, while the other 880 escaped through side hatchways and drifted on the turbulent sea. But it was far from being a miracle escape; the sea was filled with fuel, and for the next five days, these people, wearing only life jackets and relying on a few life rafts, struggled desperately at sea. The high waves mercilessly crashed down on them, and they had to fight against hunger, exhaustion, dehydration, and sharks. The hope of survival grew increasingly slim, as they watched their fellow soldiers one by one taken away by death. Let us sit down and listen quietly as a World War II veteran tells the tragic story of drifting in the sea, imagining the cruelty of war, and feeling despair, fear, and helplessness. Perhaps the price of life is the desire for peace.
