The tv program "Ocean of Fear" recounts the sinking of a ship that served as the flagship for who in 1943 and 1944?
USS Indianapolis (CA-35) USS "Indianapolis" (CL/CA-35) was a "Portland"-class heavy cruiser of the United States Navy, named for the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. The vessel served as the flagship for the commander of Scouting Force 1 for eight pre-war years, then as flagship for Admiral Raymond Spruance, in 1943 and 1944, while he commanded the Fifth Fleet in battles across the Central Pacific in World War II.
USS Anzio (CVE-57) USS "Anzio" (CVE-57), was a "Casablanca"-class escort carrier of the United States Navy that saw service during the World War II in the Pacific War. Originally classified as an auxiliary aircraft carrier ACV-57, the vessel was laid down in 1942 in Vancouver, Washington by the Kaiser Shipbuilding Company. The vessel was initially named Alikula Bay, but was renamed Coral Sea and redesignated CVE-57 in 1943. "Coral Sea" took part in naval operations supporting attacks on the Gilbert and Marshall Islands, New Guinea and the Marianas Islands. In September 1944, the vessel was renamed "Anzio". As "Anzio", the escort carrier took part in assaults on the Bonin Islands and Okinawa. Following the cessation of hostilities in 1945, "Anzio" was among the escort carriers used in Operation Magic Carpet returning U.S. soldiers to the United States. Following this service, "Anzio" was laid up in reserve at Norfolk, Virginia in 1946. The escort carrier was redesignated CVHE-57 on 15 June 1955 before being sold for scrap in 1959.
