first answer: Her resting place is in 3,000 feet of water approximately 540 miles east of Pearl Harbor.
second answer: The US battleship, USS Oklahoma sank twice. First at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941. She was later righted & refloated at Pearl Harbor, but never repaired and placed back into service. Later, after the war, she sank (without a crew) at sea while being towed to the US West Coast for salvage.

The USS Indianapolis I got interested in this because all the accounts of the USS Indianapolis going to Tinian only mention "Little Boy." It seems that structural, non radioactive parts for both bombs were carried to Tinian by the USS Indianapolis. However, the plutonium for the core was flown in by four separate C-54 airplanes called "Green Hornets."
