All five Sullivan brothers were killed when USS Juneau, light cruiser, was torpedoed off Guadalcanal on November 13, 1942. The brothers, George, Francis, Joseph, Madison and Albert, had signed up with the stipulation that they serve together. This was against Navy policy at the time but the rule was not strictly enforced. After the loss of all five brothers in a single action, all the armed services adopted the "sole Survivor" policy which is in force to the present day.
