This undated photo provided by the family of the subjects, shows Lawrence J. Reilly Sr. and his son Lawrence J. Reilly Jr., aboard the USS Frank E. Evans when father and son served on the ship together, before it was cut in half by an Australian aircraft carrier while participating in a nighttime training exercise in the South China Sea.
