Of the 4,500 sailors at the harbor only 2,097 survived with 19 ships being ether destroyed or damaged. Among them, there was the Indianapolis, not destroyed.

never the same
changes
despite the great tragity, the navy did have some changes over it. One of these was the polisy that no longer could a heavy class ship sail alone when leaving port for an ecstended amount of time, and another thing was to have better reconosents in the water so this never happons again.
