Question about USS Indianapolis

[Auntie]

I just saw the movie yesterday called:' Mission Of The Shark' it's based on the event of The USS Indianapolis. In the movie, the ship's doctor is one of the survivors,(which is played by Richard Thomas; his character's name is 'Scott'). In this list I found on Yahoo! are the names of the crew and next to some of their names is a* (which indicates a survivor) the name he had in the movie was 'Scott' and the one name that is in the crew's list is Scott A. Johnston, and there is no * next to it. But in the movie, the ship's doctor is one of the survivors. So why is his name not part of the survivor's list? You'll find the list to the left of Indy's final crew. Here's the website:

Just found out that the doctor's name about the USS Indianapolis is Lewis L.Haynes. Why in the movie they called him 'Scott', don't know. Maybe it coludn't been a nick name or something.
