The record for service members killed in a single conflict, and actually on a single ship, was the case of the 5 Sullivan brothers, who were all serving on the cruiser USS Juneau (CV-52) when it was sunk on November 13, 1942. Their deaths prompted a change in policy, and to existing regulations in 1948 (DD directive 1313.15) to ensure that sole surviving siblings be given the opportunity to be removed from combat duty.

What are Cross Siblings?

Cross siblings refer to the children of two siblings from different families, specifically when one sibling from one family marries a sibling from another family. This creates a familial bond between the two families through the marriage of their siblings. For example, if a brother marries a sister from another family, their children are considered cross siblings to each other. This term highlights the interconnectedness of extended families through such relationships.
