USS Wasp: American aircraft carrier sunk on 15 September 1942 by Japanese submarine I-19 while escorting transports to Guadalcanal.
USS Gambier Bay: American escort carrier sunk on 25 October 1944 by naval gunfire in the Battle off Samar in Leyte Gulf.
those are the biggest naval craft sunk but something like 2/3rds of the cruiser losses where naval guns or torpedos

Read about the US Navy at Guadalcanal. They didn't end up calling Savo Sound Ironbottom Sound for nothing.

And at the end of 1812, USS President. The funny part is despite being badly damaged by a storm, the President disabled HMS Endymion (heaviest and fastest Brit frigate on the American station) and only surrendered after being overtaken by two more Brit frigates.
