The ship became famous for its latest, secret operation called "Little Boy" to deliver components for an atomic bomb to the island of Tinian, where an American military base was located.

Four days after delivering the parts, the Indianapolis sank—less than a week before the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan.

Another bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, it was called "Fat Man". These two attacks killed tens of thousands of people and forced Japan to surrender.

“As Americans, we should all be grateful to the team for their courage, tenacity and sacrifice under those horrific circumstances. While our search for the remaining wreckage will continue, I hope that everyone associated with this historic ship will feel some measure of peace from this long-awaited discovery,” Allen said in a statement.
