#OTD in 1945, the trial began for Capt. Charles McVay over the loss of USS Indianapolis. Of all the CO's who lost ships during WWII, McVay was the only one court-martialed. McVay was charged with hazarding his ship by not using the technique of zigzagging to avoid sub attacks. Mochitsura Hashimoto, who sank the Indianapolis as CO of the sub I-58, was called to be a witness for the prosecution but testified that zigzagging would not have prevented him from making his successful torpedo attack. However, McVay was still found guilty of negligence.
