Abstract
The article focuses on the depiction of the USS Indianapolis disaster in American cinema, particularly through Steven Spielberg's Jaws (1975). Topics include the influence of the "Indianapolis speech" in Jaws on public awareness of the naval disaster, the decline in subsequent film adaptations about the USS Indianapolis, and the connection between the disaster and broader historical and cultural contexts such as the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and post-Cold War U.S.-Japanese relations.
