Recently finished In Harm's Way by Doug Stanton. Extremely interesting read about a navy ship that sank near the end of WWII. The crew were not rescued for over four days.

Must be the USS Indianapolis (I'm from Indy, so we hear about it a bit more often). Incredible series of utter failures by the Navy, and just two weeks of fighting left. Tragic story all around.
