There are two PBS stations in my area and there is a very good chance that there was such a documentary on PBS and as usual I probably was watching something at the time on other station.
Hopefully, some one will come to the rescue with the title.
Thank you for the possible bit of data.

I recall a PBS (I believe) documentary about a massive fire in the west loch at Pearl during WWII.
Apparently the loch was used, at that time, to store large numbers of landing craft.

Hello
Grimmund,
I could have been wrong about the sharks being tigers.
The boat I was on was temporarily tied up on a rarely used
area that had some remaining bit of a structure. One of
the civilian workers told us about an ammo ship blowing up
and then dropped in something about some type of sharks that
liked the waters there.
I was in Pearl from Mid 1976 to mid 1981 and I am
surprised about getting part of the story right.
Thank you again.
Tom R

Thank you Grimmund for confirming I was not told a sea
story, can you also confirm the other part that tiger sharks
like the spot too?;-)

West Loch?
I don't know about tigers.
Hammerheads spawn in Kane'ohe Bay, but that's on the
other side of the island, north and a little east. Pearl
is down on the south-west side.

There is some association of tiger sharks with the
sinking of the Indianapolis:
