    The memorial site of USS Houston (CA 30) and HMAS Perth (D 29) resides in Arlington National Cemetery in dedication to those lost at sea. Houston and Perth currently remain at sea after their defeat in combat during World War II's Battle of Sunda Strait in 1942. Nearly three-quarters of Houston’s 1,093 crew perished at sea, and the survivors were captured as prisoners of war. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Jalen D. Walton)
