Currently there is only one commissioned ship named after more than one navy man. The USS The Sullivans (DDG-68), a guided-missile destroyer is named after the five Sullivan brothers. The brothers were on the USS Juneau when it was struck by a Japanese torpedo during WWII. Four brothers went down with the ship and the fifth died in a lifeboat. Another U.S. Navy ship, The Sullivans (DD-537), a destroyer, was named after the brothers in 1943. It was decommissioned in 1974.
