- A Japanese submarine sank USS Juneau in World War II. One just did it again as the US and its allies train for a Pacific fight.
A Japanese torpedo sank a decommissioned USS Juneau during a live-fire exercise called Valiant Shield 2026, part of a coordinated training effort with US allies in the Pacific. The exercise involved Japan, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, simulating realistic combat scenarios. The same ship name was previously used for a vessel sunk by a Japanese submarine in World War II.
