    Interesting camoflauge scheme. I would speculate it is USS Oakland.

    That is not the USS The Sullivans. The ship in the photograph is definitely an Atlanta class light antiaircraft cruiser. It is an early war photo as the camoflauge pattern is non-standard consisting of the wavy hull deception pattern with sploches on the superstructure.
    Note the three 5"/38 turrets superimposed forward. Note the small breakwater on the bow and the chine in the hull below it. There are also three 5"/38 gun turrets superimposed aft.
    The The Sullivans was a Fletcher class destroyer not an Atlanta class cruiser.

    That makes it one of four ships:

    Atlanta but, we know she was always in sploches overall
    Juneau
    San Diego
    San Juan

    It cannot be one of the later four repeats built as the camoflauge is not a standard measure.

    I suspect it is the San Juan.

    I think he was referring to the ship the Sullivans were on when the were lost, the USS Juneau.

    It is probably Marblehead but could be another of the class.
