This is dedicated to the brave crewmen of the USS Juneau, The Navy Hymn:
Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea! O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy word, Who walked'st on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage didst sleep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea! Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, And bid its angry tumult cease, And give, for wild confusion, peace; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea! O Trinity of love and power! Our brethren shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe'er they go; Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

These men will NEVER be forgotten. I had the privilege to assist with the 1st Memorial to the crew of CL52 in Juneau, AK. After 30+ years, this is still the most memorable thing I have ever been a part of. Our City Museum continues to add to their collection of items from the families of crew members.

My uncle William Howard Beaumont was on the Juneau. Any information would be appreciated.

Look for the book "Left to Die" by Dan Kurzman. My Grandfather was on the Juneau.

Delighted to find a photo of my father's first cousin, Lt. Frank Campbell Graham, who was lost when the Juneau went down. Frank's brother, Lt. James M. Graham was killed in the Battle of Guadalcanal.
