The USS Indianapolis carried the trigger and radioactive core of the atomic bomb later dropped on Hiroshima (the Little Boy device). The Indy is also well known for the circumstances of its sinking, on the return voyage from dropping off the bomb components. The Indianapolis was torpedoed on 29 July, and sank quickly with the second greatest overall loss of life for any single US Navy ship sinking -- approximately 800 men in total. The Indianapolis disaster is also known for the huge number of shark related deaths as a large compliment of the crew remained alfoat in excellent survival conditions for about 3 days. It turns out that the Indianpolis' cargo had been so secret, there was no record conveyed to its destination, and thus the ship was not reported as overdue, and no rescue was started until the remaining crew were spotted on August 2 by a passing patrol plane. Shark deaths were roughly 500 souls.
