The H.M.T. Rohna was the first transport ship carrying US troops to be sunk during World War II. Over 1,138 men were lost, with 1,015 of them American, constituting the largest loss of US troops at sea to date. The blow was so devastating that it was classified for 50 years. Very little was disclosed at the time such as the name of the ship, where it was sunk, etc.
