Nearly 2,000 American soldiers board an overcrowded transport ship, unaware of its non-functioning lifeboats and inadequate lifebelts. When one of the first radio-guided missiles ever used in war strikes, the HMT Rohna sinks, claiming 1,015 lives--the single greatest loss of life at sea by enemy action in U.S. history. The government deflected responsibility by declaring the WWII disaster classified while ordering all survivors to remain silent. The casualty families were stonewalled and most of them went to their own graves never knowing what happened; their boys just never came home.
