The USS Indianapolis transported the Atomic bomb to Tinian and was sunk by a Japanese sub on her return trip.

Due to the turn of events and the war ending, the survivors were not rescued for many days. Many were attacked by sharks. The Captain was court martialed because he wasn't zig-zagging in enemy water. A few years after being found guilty, he committed suicide . Then many years later the Navy turned the verdict.
