The very one. The US was supposed to participate in the exercise, pulled out suddenly and then torpedoed the ship with full knowledge it was unarmed, killing at least 87 sailors and leaving the survivors to drown.

Total war crime and if the event is not considered to have happened as part of the "war" (which was not voted on by Congress was it?), it must just be old fashioned mass murder.
