November 13 1942, after being heavily damaged in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, the Atlanta Class light cruiser USS Juneau was struck by a single torpdeo from the Japanese Submarine I-26 and lost. Of her crew of 820 only ten would survive the rest succombed died from the explosion that sank the ship or died during the eight days they were left in the water due to either sharks, dehydration or exposure, among the dead were the five Sullivan Brothers who chose to enlist together and wouldn't allow anyone or anything to seperate them Sadly the lessons of the Juneau would not be taken to heart, and history would repeat itself three years later with USS Indianapolis.

Today (Meaning when this comment was posted) is November 13th. It is the 67th anniversary of CL-52's sinking. A moment of silence for her fallen crew.
On November 13, 1942; more than 700 people died in one of the worst tragidies of Ironbottom Sound. Among the lost souls were:
EM2c Leonard Anderson, Sea2c Robert Apgar, Lt. Cmndr J.S. Blue, Sea2c Charles Burkett, BM1c Thomas Byron, Sea2c Robert Cadby, SM3c Warren Crook, Cox Carl Degroat, Sea1c Lawrence Dumper, Sea2c Robert Edsall, F1c Glenn Fink, TM3c Herbert Greer, Sea2c Sidney Herbert, Sea2c Frank Ingram, Sea1c Albert Krall, FC1c Edward Lyon This is only a small sample of the lost souls

For some, their crews were more fortunate than others. For others, the floating fortresses we call warships, became their final resting place
I agree with you, but I dont think the veterans would. Sure, some veterans you could call a hero, but a veteran would say that the real heroes were those who never came home.

your ALL DOUCHE HIPPIES EEEEEEEVILLLLLLLL!!!! O by the way this is me Kyle Lexington. Japan is sick thats all there is to it. Mislead by their Goverment.
Ive read up on my history you douche hippie. They're misled by their government but they still committed acts of terrible crimes. There is a difference between starting a war and ending a war. The Japanese HAPPILY attacked Pearl Harbor with the loss of 3,000 AMERICAN SAILORS who mostly died in their beds without defending themselves. We didnt ask for war, the Japanese did. An example of a crime is: The Bataan March. my family served in WW2 and 2 died bc of Japanse Banzai charge.
OMG U RETARD we were about to join in the war. we just need a reason to. The attack on pearl harbor was just a way for the government to say that it is okay. And we didnt kill more than 3000 innocents. And we didnt do acts of terrible crimes we locked up any one that looked japan in america and treated them like prisoners for doing nothing. so stop sayin you read up on your history wikipidia doesn't count redneck
