This is the wreckage of the Navy ship that caused the government to change their policy on family members/siblings to not serve together.

The 5 Sullivan brothers (from my hometown!) were brothers serving on the Juneau.

"The research team funded by billionaire Paul Allen has found the wreckage of the Atlanta-class cruiser USS Juneau (CL-52) near the Solomon Islands, according to a Monday announcement.

The ship was sunk during the 1942 Battle of Guadalcanal by an Imperial Japanese Navy torpedo, killing 687 crewmembers. Aboard were the five Sullivan brothers. The Sullivans joined the Navy in early 1942, asked to serve together and were assigned to Juneau. The brothers were from Waterloo, Iowa."

Allen certainly seems in a hurry to find a new hobby. Pretty impressive work.

Wow

That's some run, first Lexington, Juneau, the musashi, he found a few major warship wrecks among other ships in the sea.

He found other stuff just less famous than the big world war two legends. He found older ships, and other wrecks about on his journeys.

FudgeDumper - It could be that you are just so uncomfortable with the idea of your chapters primarch having his way with a docile tyranid spore cyst, that you must deny they have any feelings at all.

I guess that when it comes to Guadalcanal, once you’ve found one, the rest won’t be far away?
