An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect
Indianapolis explosion and has thus listed it
for discussion. This discussion will occur at
Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 June 2#Indianapolis explosion until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

"As of January 2022, there are just two remaining survivors of the
Indianapolis.[60]" The reference cited is dated 8 May 21 and says there were at that time five living survivors. Per
https://www.facebook.com/USSIndianapolisOfficial there are indeed two remaining survivors -- Harold Bray and Cleatus Lebow -- but Facebook is of course not an acceptable source and someone will need to verify this. Will these suffice?

The mention of the USS Juneau (CL-52) seems out of place in the lead. It seems to me that it would be better placed under "See also". Thoughts? Carguychris ( talk) 19:38, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
