Australia:
E-class submarine HMAS AE1 at sea in 1914.
HMAS AE1 with HMAS Australia and HMAS Yarra at a rendezvous off Rossel Island in September 1914, photographed from the bridge of HMAS Encounter.
At 07:00 on 14 September, AE1 departed Blanche Bay, Rabaul, to patrol off Cape Gazelle with HMAS Parramatta. When she had not returned by 20:00, several ships were dispatched to search for her. No trace of the submarine was found, and she was listed as lost with all hands. The disappearance was Australia's first major loss of World War I
After the discovery of the submarine in December 2017, Rear Admiral Peter Briggs, retired, said the likely cause of its loss was a diving accident. He added:

After the discovery of the submarine in December 2017, Rear Admiral Peter Briggs, retired, said the likely cause of its loss was a diving accident. He added:
As of April 2018, the best-supported theory for the submarine's loss was that it went below its crush depth due to a mechanical failure. Later that year, a team of researchers headed by the National Maritime Museum director Kevin Sumption concluded their investigation into the sinking of AE1. They concluded that a ventilation valve, which was likely open to make the tropical conditions a little more bearable while the submarine was cruising on the surface near the Duke of York Islands, was insecure when the submarine dived, causing a flood of the submarine's engine room and total loss of control of the AE1. The submarine subsequently sank below 100 metres and imploded, killing everyone on board instantly

USN:
Fletcher class destroyer USS Isherwood (DD520) acting as callfire support for landings on Ie Shima, the morning of 16 April 1945. Around 0940 and at a range of 9,700 yards Isherwood engaged a Ki-43 'Oscar' dancing at around 100 feet altitude. The Oscar was shot down at 3,300 yds aft of battleship Texas (BB-35). In a short while Isherwood would be on her way to USS Laffey's RP station. The ship is painted in camouflage Measure 31, Design 16d.
Less than a week later on April 22nd the Isherwood would be hit by a Kamikaze.
Most fires were quickly brought under control; however, one fire around the aft depth charge rack continued until causing an explosion ~25 minutes later. 80 men were killed or wounded. The ships War History lists 43 sailors who were posthumously awarded the Purple Heart.
Here is an excerpt of a press release with details from the captain:
