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
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, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. U.S. Navy
