	121k	RADM Gordon P. Chung-Hoon, USN (1910-1979). A 1934 graduate of the US Naval Academy, was awarded the Navy Cross and Silver Star for conspicuous gallantry and extraordinary heroism as commanding officer of the USS SIGSBEE DD-502 from May 1944 to October 1945. In the spring of 1945, SIGSBEE assisted in the destruction of 20 enemy planes while screening a carrier strike force off the Japanese Island of Kyushu. On 14 April 1945, while on radar picket station off Okinawa, a kamikaze crashed the SIGSBEE, reducing her starboard engine to five knots and knocking out the ship's port engine and steering control. Despite the damage, Commander Chung-Hoon valiantly kept his antiaircraft batteries delivering "prolonged and effective fire" against the continuing enemy air attack while simultaneously directing the damage control efforts that allowed SIGSBEE to make port under her own power. RADM Chung-Hoon, USN retired from the US Navy in October 1959. He died in July 1979.		Robert M. Cieri
