USS The Sullivans 'will rise again,' officials vow as water is pumped from ship
https://buffalonews.com/ne...
"The Sullivans enlisted in the US Navy on January 3, 1942, with the stipulation that they serve together. The Navy had a policy of separating siblings, but this was not strictly enforced.
The five Sullivan brothers who, serving together on the light cruiser USS Juneau, were all killed in action shortly after its sinking around November 13, 1942.
The brothers' story was filmed as the 1944 movie The Sullivans (later renamed The Fighting Sullivans) and inspired the 1998 film Saving Private Ryan.
As a direct result of the Sullivans' deaths (and the deaths of four of the Borgstrom brothers within a few months of each other two years later), the U.S. War Department adopted the Sole Survivor Policy."
