Five brothers in WII wanted to serve together, so the Navy allowed them to be assigned to the same ship. Today there’s a policy prohibiting this sort of thing.

The Navy didn’t like putting serving siblings on the same ships, but the Sullivan boys had insisted on serving together… with tragic results.
