    Sailors aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Chung-Hoon (DDG 93) pay respects to the 23 sailors whose lives were lost when a kamikaze suicide plane struck the Fletcher-class destroyer USS Sigsbee (DD 502), April 14, 1945, during the Battle of Okinawa. Chung-Hoon is named in honor of Rear Adm. Gordon Paie'a Chung-Hoon, who was awarded the Navy Cross and Silver Star for gallantry as the commanding officer of Sigsbee during the battle.
