The Worst Shark Attack in History, the USS Indianapolis Disaster - Part 1: The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis Jul 21, 2025

Show notes

Tooth & Claw is back with another multi-part series, this time concerning the men of the famed United States heavy cruiser that was sunk during the efforts of World War 2, and the sharks who couldn't pass up the tragic but opportune feast that now floated helplessly in the ocean water. This one gets intense, so prepare for some graphic conversation and content.

In the second half of the episode, the guys are joined by Dan Abbott, an underwater cinematographer that specializes in sharks as well as one of the stars of the hit Netflix show All the Sharks.
