Who were the Sullivans?
Albert, Francis, George, Joseph and Madison Sullivan, five brothers from Iowa, enlisted in the Navy at the start of World War Two. They requested and received special permission to serve together on the same ship, USS Juneau (CL 52). They were killed when the ship was sunk on 13 Novemeber 1942. Following this tragedy, policies were put into place prohibiting all members of a family from serving in a combat zone at the same time. USS The Sullivans (DD 537) was named in honor of the brothers; this ship survives as a museum at Buffalo NY. A new USS The Sullivans (DDG 68) entered service in 1997.
