Nearly 2,000 American soldiers board an overcrowded transport ship, unaware of its non-functioning lifeboats and inadequate lifebelts. When one of World War II's first radio-guided missiles strikes, the Rohna sinks, claiming 1,015 lives - the single greatest loss of life at sea by enemy action in U.S. history. Government officials deflect responsibility by declaring the attack classified.
