| 54k | The five Sullivan brothers all hailed from Waterloo, Iowa. George Thomas (born 14 December 1914) and Francis Henry Sullivan (18 February 1916), the two oldest, enlisted in the Navy on 11 May 1937 and served in the destroyer Hovey (DD-208) into June 1941. At Des Moines, Iowa, on 3 January 1942, George and Francis—accompanied by their younger brothers Joseph Eugene (28 August 1918), Madison Abel (8 November 1919), and Albert Leo (8 July 1922) reenlisted to avenge the loss of Seaman 1st Class William V. Ball, of Fredericksburg, Iowa, a friend who had been killed in the battleship Arizona (BB-39) during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. After instruction at the Naval Training School, Great Lakes, Illinois, all five brothers, at their expressed request (“We will make a team together that can’t be beat,” one had written), joined the light cruiser Juneau (CL-52) at the New York Navy Yard on 3 February 1942. Commissioned on 14 February 1942, Juneau initially served in the Atlantic but was transferred to the Pacific in August. Late in October, she took part in the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands and, on 12 November, fought in the fierce night battle off Guadalcanal. In that action, a torpedo severely damaged the ship. The following morning, the crippled cruiser, down by the bow and struggling to make 18 knots, retired from the battle area. Handling sluggishly as she limped through the glassy-calm sea, Juneau presented a tempting target for Japanese submarine I-26 which lurked nearby. One torpedo, or possibly two, hit the damaged cruiser forward and detonated her magazines. The resulting violent explosion tore the ship apart, and she went down in just 42 seconds. Four of the Sullivans -- Coxswain Francis Sullivan and Seamen 2d Class Joseph, Madison, and Abel -- failed to make it topside in time to abandon their doomed ship. Gunner’s Mate 2d Class George Sullivan, wounded during the 12 November night action, managed to get over the side and pull himself onto a raft, but died of his wounds a few hours later. Only 10 of the approximately 140 men thought to have survived the immediate sinking were rescued. The Sullivans’ surviving sister Genevieve enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve as a Specialist (Recruiter) 3d Class, and, along with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Sullivan, visited over 200 shipyards and manufacturing plants to encourage the workers there. | Steven A. Cardali | |

235k | NASCAR Honors USS THE SULLIVANS at Daytona by Chief Fire Controlman (SW) Kenneth J. Ward, USS THE SULLIVANS. DAYTONA (NNS) - Eight Sailors from USS THE SULLIVANS (DDG 68) received a once in a lifetime invitation where they were honored at the Daytona International Speedway on July 4th 2008, participating in the NASCAR Nationwide Series Winn Dixie 250. The Mayport-based Destroyer Sailors were selected to represent THE SULLIVANS as part of the Navy’s Fleet honoree program, getting an up close and personal look at the Navy No. 88 "Accelerate Your Life" Chevy Monte Carlo, driven by Brad Keselowski of JR Motorsports. THE SULLIVANS name was decaled on the hood of the No. 88 car and the sailors enjoyed a behind the scenes tour of the garage, car inspection stations, and the No. 88 hauler, with a bonus look inside of the ESPN Dish Tech Center, where host Tim Brewer gave a personal tour. Before the race, they met with driver Brad Keselowski, taking photographs and getting autographs from the rising star of JR Motorsports. Later, at track side, they met team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr., then moved to the Navy No. 88 car’s pit where they had the opportunity to talk with and learn from the pit crew, sit up on the pit box with crew Chief Tony Eury Sr. and enjoy the view of the track from pit row. "Meeting with Dale Jr. and Brad Keselowski was a once in a lifetime experience", said ENC Tim Dozier. "Being an honorary crew member for the Navy 88 car was an exceptional experience that will never be forgotten". SH3 Allen Reiner said, "My experience at Daytona for the Winn-Dixie 250 was definitely unforgettable. Being in the pit and feeling the adrenaline you get from the pit crew, drivers, and fans are definitely one of a kind and you can only experience that at a NASCAR race. It was fitting for the 4th of July weekend as well, hearing all of the horsepower around the track definitely was the sound of America." The evening came to an end as fireworks lit up the sky and the field of cars crossed the finish line. Keselowski led the most laps and placed 5th in a green-white- checkered finish and moved to second in the points standings for the NASCAR Nationwide Series. | Ron Reeves | |
