USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage

In 1945, the USS Indianapolis, carrying parts of the atomic bomb for Hiroshima, was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine, leaving over 900 soldiers stranded at sea for five days without food or water. This tragedy exposed a major negligence by the U.S. military, with only 317 survivors. Commander Charles McVay was unjustly blamed, but was exonerated by U.S. President Bill Clinton in 2000.
