    A group of elderly veterans, many wearing navy/military-style caps, are seated in a row at what appears to be a formal commemorative event or ceremony held in a conference or banquet hall. Several individuals are seated in wheelchairs, and a person in a white military dress uniform is visible on the right side. The audience behind them suggests this is a larger organized gathering honoring these veterans.

    Survivors of the USS Indianapolis CA-35 listen as a survivor tells his survival story from the sinking on July 30, 1945. The ship was sunk after delivering the first operational atomic bomb to the island of Tinnian. Of the 1,196 men aboard only 317 were pulled from the water alive after the sinking. RADM Rick Williamson, Commander Navy Region Midwest later that evening announced that the next commissioned Littoral Combat Ship will be named the USS Indianapolis in their honor.
