USS Indianapolis. Torpedoed on her return from Tinian Island in the Marianas after delivering components for the two atomic bombs later used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
That was in the Pacific Theater. The Captain of the Indianapolis also became the only Navy officer to ever be court-martialed and have a former enemy commander as the chief witness for the prosecution. That was the captain of the Japanese submarine which fired those torpedoes.
