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 USS Arizona Memorial
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 photo by
