A distant cousin of mine went down with Indianapolis. A first cousin, who was a member of the crew, got thrown in the brig for being drunk and rowdy and missed its final sailing. For the rest of his life, his nickname was Lucky.

Kind of me back in the day. Managed to avoid brig time (Marines). LOL
