Following the death of their friend Bill Ball at Pearl Harbor, the five Sullivan brothers decided to enlist in the Navy. Two of the brothers had served previous four-year enlistments in the Navy, and so, when all five brother enlisted together on January 3, 1942, the Navy was the obvious choice. They were adamant about serving together in spite of the Navy wartime policy to separate family members. Because of their persistence, their request to be stationed together was approved. The Sullivan brothers: George, 28, Francis, 27 3 Joseph 24, Madison, 23, and Albert, 20, lost their lives during the Battle of Guadalcanal on November 13, 1942. The brothers received the Purple Heart Medal posthumously and were entitled to the American Defense Service Medal, Fleet Clasp, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with four engagement stars, and the World War II Victory Medal. They had also earned the Good Conduct Medal. They were survived by their parents, Mr. Thomas F. Sullivan and Mrs. Alleta Sullivan, a sister, Genevieve Sullivan, and by Albert Leo Sullivan's wife, Katherine Mary Sullivan. Their son, James Thomas, was twenty-two months old at the time of his father's death. The family today includes two grandchildren of Albert Sullivan: Kelly Ann Sullivan Loughren, the ship's sponsor, and John Sullivan. p The first USS THE SULLIVANS CDD 5375 was christened on April 4, 1943 by Mrs. Alleta Sullivan. Commissioned in September 1943, the ship arrived in Pearl Harbor in December 1943 and was immediately assigned to the Pacific Theater. It earned eleven battle stars in World War II and the Korean War. The ship's motto We Stick Together was the motto of the Sullivan brothers. It is a way of life for THE SULLIVANS' crew today, based on the sacrifices made by this proud Irish-American family from Waterloo, Iowa. p ?F lg. I oblcx revival D 5 CGM A DER RICHARD .

Commander Wade Wilkenson relieves Commander Richard Brown as Commanding Officer while inport Muscat, Oman. The Prestige, Privilege and the Burden of Command Only a seaman realizes to what extent an entire ship reflects the personality and ability of one individual, her Commanding Officer. To a landsman this is not understandable, and sometimes it is even difficult for us to comprehend, --but it is so. A ship at sea is a distant world in herself and in consideration of the protracted and distant operations of the fleet units h N t e avy must place great power, responsibility and trust in the hands of those leaders chosen for command. In each ship there is one man who, in the hour of emergency or peril at sea, can turn to no other man. There is one who alone is ultimately responsible for the safe navigation, engineering perfromance, accurate gunfiring and 1T10f31C of his ship. He is the Commanding Officer. He is the ship. This is the most difficult and demanding assignment in the Navy. There is not an instant during his tour of duty aS C d. . . . . . omman ing Officer that he can escape the grasp of command responsibility. His privileges in view of his obligations are most ludicrously smallg nevertheless command is the spur which has given the Navy its great leaders. A It is a duty which most richly deserves the highest, time-honored title of the seafaring world -- MCAPTAIN7 - Joseph Conrad -4 SHIP'S TECHNICAL DATA LENGTH: 506 FT BEAM: 67 FT DRAFT: 34 FT DISPLACEMENT: S750 LONG TONS PROPULSION1 4 LM-2500 GAS TURBINE ENGINES DRIVING 2 GE HIGH POWER MAIN REDUCTION GEARS. 2 SHAFTS, 2 SCREWS.
