Agreed. I saw this for the first time today. I hope they can save that vessel.

Indeed, that vessel represents the sacrifice paid by the nation's families during WWII.

They sank on a crusier, the destroyer named after the Sullivans was a Fletcher class destroyer.

I followed the story because my dad was a WWII sailor on the Fletcher class destroyer Stockham.

My grandmother remarked once that having five sons fighting at the same time in WWII was stressful for her.

Bless her and thanks to your family for their service.
