Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (Sept. 10, 2004) -- Sailors man the rails aboard
the Navy's newest and most advanced Arleigh Burke-class guided missile
destroyer USS Chung-Hoon (DDG 93), while passing the battleship USS
Missouri battleship in her new homeport of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. After
the arrival, the ship's crew will prepare for their commissioning
ceremony on Sept. 18. The ship is named in honor of Rear Adm. Gordon
Paie'a Chung-Hoon, who was born and raised in Hawaii and awarded the
Navy Cross and Silver Star for gallantry as Commanding Officer of USS
Sigsbee during the Battle of Okinawa. Chung-Hoon was also assigned to
USS Arizona during the Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. U.S. Navy
