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 transiting the channel into
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 photo by Photographer's Mate 1st
