I lost an uncle in WWII, he was on the Juneau, with the 5 Sullivan brothers, when it was sunk by a U-boat, in the mid point of the war I have the report from the official site sent to my mother's family, he had enlisted, and was killed before he got to his first duty station, the name of the ship was used on others, and I believe now is called "The Sullivan Brothers ", it suffered the same fate as the "Indianapolis ", sank in a short time
I would have been about 6 at the time

This is a good read if you have time, there were over 600 on board and only 10 survived, it was found recently in 2.6 miles down, blown to pieces by the 2 torpedoes that hit her
