Not Guilty Plea Entered By Navy Captain At Trial
Navy Captain Charles B. McVay entered a not guilty plea at his public court martial on negligence and inefficiency charges over the loss of the cruiser Indianapolis. The defense sought prep time after a postponement as McVay and advisers argued the ship’s voyage from Guam to Leyte involved zigzag orders and submarine risk amid warnings of contacts and mine hazards. The disaster, officially blamed on enemy action, killed 880 of 1196 crew with 316 listed as missing or injured.
