Overview

The USS The Sullivans-Weekend with George, is the first comprehensive history written on the ship named for the five Sullivan brothers from Waterloo Iowa. Rob Thompson takes the reader on a journey from the sinking of the USS Juneau to the commissioning of the USS The Sullivans just five months later. This account of one of Americas most famous Naval vessels will share personal accounts of the final two years of World War Two including rescue of survivors from the USS Bunker Hill. The reader will be taken on a journey through the Korean War, the tense days of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the rescue of a downed Air Force crew in the Atlantic. The author makes it an easy read by telling the story in a way for all to understand and enjoy. While combining history, emotion and fun, Thompson introduces you to the only man ever lost aboard the USS The Sullivans Glenn Johnson, and he shares the story of a daughter of a Juneau crew member finally receiving proper tribute. Lastly, Thompson shares with young an old alike the paranormal side of the ship, and after spending three nights aboard The Sullivans he answers the question is The Sullivans one of Americas greatest haunts.
