lets say that it was something not so drastic, something simple as improper trained crew and the RO-RO rolls over during the final landing stages, as they off loaded the RO-RO improperly (it happens) and it rolled over in the bay with the Marines and Germans looking at it thinking;
"Okay, No what, that was our meal and fuel ticket. Now what?"
Hence the start of the USMC version of the 'Good Luck you are on your own adventure.....

I would use something like the Zeebrugge ferry disaster as inspiration for the Ro-Ro ferry roll over to paint the story for the players.
