As for the Indianapolis herself, she may be used for a 'Magic Carpet' run or two bringing servicemen overseas back to the US before being decommissioned & placed in mothballs sometime in 1946-47, where she'll most likely remain until March 1, 1959, when she, along with the rest of the surviving pre-war cruisers, will be stricken from the Naval Vessel Register, and about 2-3 months after that, will be sold for scrapping.
