During his story about the USS Indianapolis, Quint says, "our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent." In fact, distress signals were sent by radiomen on the Indianapolis, and the messages were received by three different sailors on Leyte. But Navy protocol was to ignore any signal that was not confirmed by a reply. The only operable radio transmitter on the ship could only transmit signals via Morse code but could not receive replies from Leyte asking for confirmation. So the distress signals were ignored.
