USS Chung Hoon 9" Historical Significance

USS Chung-Hoon (DDG-93) is an Arleigh Burke-class Aegis destroyer serving in the United States Navy. Chung-Hoon was named in honor of Rear Admiral Gordon Pai'ea Chung-Hoon (1910-1979), recipient of the Navy Cross. The contract to build her was awarded to Northrop Grumman Ship Systems on March 6, 1998, and her keel was laid down on January 14, 2002, at Ingalls Shipbuilding, Incorporated. She was launched on January 11, 2003, sponsored by Michelle Punana Chung-Hoon of Honolulu, Hawaii, Chung-Hoon's niece, and commissioned on September 18, 2004. She is part of the Pacific Fleet and homeported in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. On October 13, 2005, Chung-Hoon responded to a distress call from the Panamanian-based merchant vessel C-Laurel. One of her sailors, Sung-Won Kim of Korea, had lost a hand in an accident. Chung-Hoon transported Kim to Honolulu, where he underwent emergency treatment. Doctors were unable to reattach the hand, and Kim returned to Korea after the operation. On September 12, 2007, the U.S. embassy in the Philippines stated that the arrival of the missile destroyers USS Chung-Hoon (DDG-93) and USS Milius, was a goodwill visit to strengthen ties between the U.S. and the Philippines.
