I mean, maybe I was going to say maybe you do, but McVeigh always makes me think of Timothy McVeigh. Yeah, no, I see what you mean. So under the command of Captain Charles McVeigh, the Indianapolis bombarded the Japanese from their position a few thousand yards offshore while infantrymen stormed the beach. According to Indianapolis, the true story of the worst sea disaster in U.S.

naval history and the 50-year fight to exonerate an innocent man, which we will get there. It's, quote, some men said that when they saw that flag go up, they thought of home and how it surely wouldn't be long until they could sail back to their moms and sweethearts and the good old USA. Yeah.

It's very sad. Now, during this period, the Indianapolis was very badly damaged when a kamikaze fighter pilot dropped a bomb through the deck and into the mess hall. Jesus. And it exploded in there. It tore a hole in the hull of the ship. And to prevent the entire ship from flooding, this is going to, like, also just show you, like, the realities of, like...

war is so fucking scary yeah uh because they needed to prevent the whole ship from flooding obviously so crewmen had to close the hatch leading to the mess hall but they trapped nine men inside who eventually drowned in there oh my god but it was literally like they just had to what they had to do you know like it's just like but just knowing that that's just like a decision yeah like a split second decision yeah

The ship's bulkheads prevented any major flooding and the Indianapolis was able to return to San Francisco for like major repairs in preparation for what was going to be its most important mission of the entire war. So it had already had to be repaired.

While the military fought to overwhelm the Japanese in the Pacific, a huge team of allied scientists and engineers were hard at work in the USA on a very top secret project. You might have heard of it, the Manhattan Project. This was led by nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer. You definitely know his name recently from the, you know, Barbenheimer, Barbieheimer, whatever it was.

It's like when I tried to say ostracized, like a different way. Ostracization. And I could not say it. Don't start again. And we just kept saying it. I'm sure people were listening being like, shut the fuck up.

So the goal of the project, the Manhattan Project, was to design an atomic bomb, the likes of which had never been seen. If you've seen the movie, you know all about it.

I have not yet, actually. Wildly. Because I did want to see it. I really like Killian Murphy. I didn't mean that, I guess. This was like a fascinating and like really terrifying and horrifying time in history. No, it is interesting. So it's always really interesting to see how it's done in these things. And I heard great things about it.

But the whole goal of this project was to design a crazy atomic bomb that would give the Allies the destructive power they believed they needed to stop the Japanese army and end the war. By the summer of 1945, the Manhattan Project had succeeded. It created two atomic bombs, and they nicknamed them Fat Man and Little Boy.
