Quisling, Vidkun Roosevelt, Quentin Sullivan, George, Francis, Joseph, Madison, and Albert, aged 20 to 27 – brothers who lost their lives when their ship, USS Juneau[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Juneau_(CL-52)) was sunk by a Japanese submarine in November 1942 in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. This was the greatest military loss by any one American family during World War II. The first ship named for the brothers was the Fletcher class destroyer The Sullivans (DD-537), now a museum ship in Buffalo, New York. USS The Sullivans (DDG-68) is an Arleigh Burke-class Aegis guided missile destroyer and is the second ship of the US Navy to be named for the five Sullivan brothers, launched in 1995. ---
