30 Sep 1942 - Normand Edgar Weaver Juneau (CL-52); Enlisted 08 July 1942; date first received on board 14 Feb 1942.
On 8 November, Juneau departed Nouméa, New Caledonia as a unit of TF 67 to escort reinforcements to Guadalcanal. The force arrived there early morning on 12 November, and Juneau took up her station in the protective screen around the transports and cargo vessels. Unloading proceeded unmolested until 1405, when 30 Japanese planes attacked the alerted United States group. The AA fire was effective, and Juneau alone accounted for six enemy torpedo bombers shot down. The few remaining Japanese planes were in turn attacked by American fighters; only one bomber escaped. Later in the day, an American attack group of cruisers and destroyers cleared Guadalcanal on reports that a large enemy surface force was headed for the island. At 0148 on 13 November, Rear Admiral Daniel J. Callaghan's relatively small Landing Support Group engaged the enemy. The Japanese force consisted of two battleships, one light cruiser, and nine destroyers.
Because of bad weather and confused communications, the battle occurred in near pitch darkness and at almost point-blank range as the ships of the two sides became intermingled. During the melee, Juneau was struck on the port side by a torpedo causing a severe list, and necessitating withdrawal. Before noon on 13 November, Juneau, along with two other cruisers damaged in the battle — Helena and San Francisco — headed toward Espiritu Santo for repairs. Juneau was steaming on one screw, keeping station 800 yd (730 m) off the starboard quarter of the likewise severely damaged San Francisco. She was down 12 ft (4 m) by the bow, but able to maintain 13 kn (15 mph, 24 km/h). A few minutes after 1100, two torpedoes were launched from I-26. These were intended for San Francisco, but both passed ahead of her. One struck Juneau in the same place that had been hit during the battle. There was a great explosion; Juneau broke in two and disappeared in just 20 seconds. Fearing more attacks from I-26, and wrongly assuming from the massive explosion that there were no survivors, Helena and San Francisco departed without attempting to rescue any survivors. In fact, more than 100 sailors had survived the sinking of Juneau. They were left to fend for themselves in the open ocean for eight days before rescue aircraft belatedly arrived. While awaiting rescue, all but 10 died from the elements and shark attacks Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Juneau_(CL-52)
The cruiser USS Juneau (CL-52) was lost at sea Nov 13, 1942, during the naval battle for Guadalcanal in WW II. Of the Juneau's crew of 698 officers and enlisted men, 684 were killed or lost in action. The Juneau and her crew are "forever on station" in the South Pacific (Lat. 10 deg 34 min South, Long. 161 deg 4 min East)". There are memorials to her crew at the pier in Juneau, Alaska, and on a Memorial Monument at Ft. Bonifacio (William McKinley) in Manila, Phillipine Islands, at the "Manila American Cemetery", and in cemeteries throughout the United States.
