The US Navy's Aug. 15, 1945 news release on the loss of the USS Indianapolis (and ca. 880 lives) was indeed pushed to the newspaper back pages by a more notable news release.

However, the overshadowing news release was not the Aug. 7, 1945 news release of the July 16, 1945 Trinity Test, but the news of Japan's surrender released 7 PM, Aug. 14, 1945.
