In this powerful, first-person interview, 97-year-old World War II veteran Frank Wal, Jr. reflects on his life, service, and the events that shaped a generation. From the hardship of losing his mother at age eight, to enlisting in the U.S. Navy at just 17, Frank takes us through his remarkable journey—from radar duty aboard LSD-25 to witnessing the aftermath of kamikaze attacks and passing the USS Indianapolis just before its fateful sinking. Frank shares his firsthand memories of Okinawa, the atomic bomb's impact on Japan, the occupation of Tokyo, and even a surprise encounter with General MacArthur. He speaks candidly about post-war life, teaching science and serving as a principal, building a life with his wife of 68 years, and raising four children. Frank's story is a story of war, but it's also a reflection on resilience, service, and the quiet strength of the Greatest Generation.

A little past midnight on July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis, a US Navy cruiser, had just delivered the uranium that would be used in the first nuclear bomb dropped on Japan, and was returning to the Philippines when it was struck by a Japanese torpedo. The ship was badly damaged in the attack and within ten minutes it rolled onto its side, dumping 890 crewmen into the pitch-black ocean and dragging the remaining 300 down with the ship.Those who survived the torpedo strike did what they could to grab supplies before abandoning ship, but there were very few life boats or life jackets, so many of the sailors had to float in the water or cling to the few rafts they did manage to take before jumping from the boat. To make matters worse, their mission had been highly confidential and no one in the Navy knew where the Indianapolis was, much less that it had sank. The surviving crew thought things were about as bad as they could get, then the sharks began showing up.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1945.

Roughly 300 men went down with the ship and the other 900 were left to survive adrift in the open, shark infested, Philippine Sea for the next five agonizing days. Only 317 of those men would survive, against all odds- dehydration, starvation, exhaustion, delirium and of course... sharks.✨If you wanna get your TSFU episodes ad free and on Tuesdays instead of Fridays, check out our Patreon!

The sinking of the USS Indianapolis was a tragic and harrowing event that occurred during World War II. In July 1945, after successfully delivering components for the atomic bomb to the Pacific island of Tinian, the USS Indianapolis was struck by two torpedoes from the Japanese submarine I-58. The torpedoes caused massive explosions, leading to the cruiser's rapid sinking in the Philippine Sea.Approximately 900 crew members were cast adrift into shark-infested waters. They faced a brutal struggle for survival, dealing with dehydration, exposure, and relentless shark attacks. The crew's distress signal was delayed, and rescue efforts were slow to reach them. By the time they were rescued, four days after the sinking, only 316 of the USS Indianapolis's crew members had survived.(commercial at 9:25)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

July 16, 1945. It's the summer of 1945 and World War II is underway. The USS Indianapolis has just set out from Mare Island on a top-secret mission. The famous vessel is delivering enriched uranium and other components of “Little Boy” to Tinian Island. The mission is technically a success, but for the men aboard the Indianapolis, the challenges are just beginning. On July 30, the ship is struck by two Japanese torpedoes, stranding its sailors at sea. For three and a half days, survivors are left floating in the Pacific Ocean, fending off sun exposure, dehydration, and shark attacks – and waiting for help. Were any able to survive? And could this attack have been prevented?Special thanks to our guest: Sara Vladic, co-author of Indianapolis: The True Story of the Worst Sea Disaster in U.S. Naval History and the Fifty-Year Fight to Exonerate an Innocent Man.
