Lyle Pasket, S2, USS Indianapolis Survivor
Lyle Pasket later in life. Lyle Pasket, S2, was one of four USS Indianapolis survivors interviewed for this program. I'd have to check my notes to be sure, but I believe Lyle stated in his interview that serving on the Indianapolis was his first ship. And he had been aboard ship for only about 2 weeks - definitely less than a month -- when the sinking tragedy occurred.
