On November 15, 1942, in a naval battle off the coast of the Solomon Islands, the USS Juneau was one of two cruisers attacked. On board Juneau were the Sullivan brothers, five brothers who joined the Navy to avenge the death of a childhood friend at Pearl Harbor. It was the first time since the Civil War that a single family suffered such a great loss.
