With the discovery of USS Indianapolis, plus the live stream from the ocean, I was able to modify an existing drawing of the Indy, to match (at best) the current description of the wreck. https://l8tsvg.bn1303.livefilestore.com/y4puxrnuXare2cqWT5zmYYeL_1mGfuS11GUykKoaB8BfSlVfmL9tFl2bwrRL1Xma-pNJu4ju...
