The only known US warship sunk during the war (other than riverine boats) was the former Escort Aircraft Carrier (CVE-11) USS Card on or about 04 May 1964. Card had been redesignated as an auxiliary ship (USNS Card), and although still looking like an aircraft carrier, it was really just a transport. An NVA frogman (the press reported it as a VC sapper) entered the harbor where the Card was docked, and emplaced an underwater mine to the Card's hull. She detonated, and the carrier settled to the bottom of the bay.
The only other confirmed attacks on US Navy warships during the war besides the destroyers USS Maddox, and later the controversial USS Turner Joy drama in the Tonkin Gulf, were the NVAF MiG-17 jet attacks against the destroyer USS Higbee (DD-806) and light cruiser USS Oklahoma City (CLG-5) in April 1972. 2 MiG-17 pilots in specially modified MiGs (with installed hard points for 500 pound bombs) from the North Viet Air Force 923rd Fighter Regiment dropped 4 bombs on the two ships. The Oklahoma City was only slightly damaged with apparent near misses; but the Higbee had it's aft 5" mount totally destroyed from a direct hit. No men were killed, they had vacated the turret earlier for maintenance problems.

What was the last US Navy ship to be sunk by an enemy in WW2?
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.
