Ship Famous for "Fighting Sullivan Brothers" Discovered on Saint Patrick's Day 76 Years after the USS Juneau was Sunk During World War II

SEATTLE  -  Wreckage from the USS Juneau (CL-52) was discovered on March 17, 2018, by the expedition crew of Research Vessel (R/V) Petrel, which is owned by Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Paul G. Allen. The Juneau was sunk by a Japanese torpedo during the Battle of Guadalcanal, ultimately killing 687 men aboard including all five Sullivan Brothers. The Atlanta-class light cruiser was found 4,200 meters below the surface, resting on the floor of the South Pacific off the coast of the Solomon Islands.

"We certainly didn't plan to find the Juneau on St. Patrick's Day. The variables of these searches are just too great," said Robert Kraft, director of subsea operations for Mr. Allen. "But finding the USS Juneau on Saint Patrick's Day is an unexpected coincidence that allows us to pay final respects to the Sullivan brothers and all the service members who were lost 76 years ago."
