a tugboat's water cannon. After the arrival, the shipÕs 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,
