- Overview
2,000 US soldiers board a British transport ship without any idea that the lifeboats are rusted so badly that they could never be launched. They’re issued lifebelts that need to be inflated instead of standard Naval life jackets. The following day the ship is sunk by one of the first radio-guided missiles ever used in war, killing 1157 soldiers and crew in what remains the greatest loss of life at sea due to enemy action in the history of US war. The government deflected responsibility for the large loss of life by declaring the attack classified indefinitely and ordering all survivors to remain silent.
