Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (Sept. 10, 2004) -- The Navy’s newest and
most advanced Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS
Chung-Hoon (DDG 93), sits moored at Ford Island after arriving at 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
