At about 1000, "Juneau"s medical personnel transferred to "San Francisco" to assist in treating the numerous wounded. An hour later, "Juneau" took a torpedo on her port side from , striking in the vicinity of the bridge. "The entire ship seemed to explode in one mighty column of brown and white smoke and flame which rose easily a thousand feet in the air. The "Juneau" literally disintegrated." "San Francisco" was hit by several large fragments from "Juneau". One man was hit, both his legs were broken. Nothing was seen in the water after the smoke lifted. The surviving ships were ordered to keep going without stopping to look for survivors. Unfortunately, the 100+ survivors (out of a total complement of 697) of "Juneau" were forced to wait eight days for rescue while floating in the ocean, undergoing intense shark attacks. Only ten survived.
