Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (Sept. 10, 2004) -- Sailors aboard the Navy's
newest and most advanced Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer
USS Chung-Hoon (DDG 93), are greeted by Hawaiian hula dancers as the
ship arrives 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
