Navy Clemmency For Capt McVay On Indianapolis Case
The Navy set aside Capt Charles B. McVay's court martial sentence for failing to zig zag the cruiser Indianapolis. Four other officers received reprimands for delays in the search for survivors after the ship was torpedoed near the Philippines last July 30. The verdict: McVay may not command another warship, with the sentence remitted and him restored to duty due to his outstanding record and court clemency.
