DE CLASSIFIED

USS CECIL J DOYLE DE-368 was instrumental in rescuing the sailors from the worst naval disaster in U.S. history, the USS INDIANAPOLIS CA-35. Not only did DOYLE's crew rescue 93 survivors, but she also remained in the area to give final rites and sea burials to 21 sailors. The actions of all ships involved in the rescue efforts are indicative of the bravery shown across the U.S. Navy during World War II.
