There have been six ships named Achilles, none of which appear to have sunk. The most famous of these six was the HMS Achilles of the Royal Navy. It was built between 1905 and 1907. The ship served during World War 1, and sunk the German ship, Leopard. She was reclassified to a training ship in 1918, and was disassembled (scrapped) in 1921.
The last big one was the Yamato during the Okinawa battle in April 1945.
The last Navy ship to be officially recorded as being sunk by enemy action in WW2 was the USS Bullhead (SS-332), on 6 August 1945, the day Hiroshima was attacked. A Balao-class submarine, the Bullhead was sunk by engagement from a Japanese Army aircraft, which dropped depth charges on the Bullhead, claiming 2 direct hits. The geographic area she was in when sunk is believed to have reduced her radar range, and thus prevented her from detecting the plane until it was too late.Though the initial answer to this question mentioned the Indianapolis, that answer is incorrect. The Indianapolis was sunk by a Japanese submarine on 29 July 1945, over a week prior to the Bullhead. The last U.S. ship sunk was the submarine USS Bullhead SS 332 sunk by the Japanese aircraft on August 6, 1945 at the west end of Lombok Strait.
