This is the ship mentioned by Clint in "Jaws" - I think they were Spinner sharks?? Anyone know? Check it out here (https://www.yahoo.com/news/shipwreck-uss-indianapolis-helped-create-205940380.html)
I just saw this on the news tonight. I don't know what kind of sharks they were but they were in massive schools and fed on sailors for 5 days. That is about as horrible a situation as one could ever find himself in.
Every veteran survivor I have ever seen is unable to tell their story without breaking down in tears. I am in awe of what they went through.

I think it was reported that they were probably White Tips & some Tigers.
