The Chung-Hoon (DDG 93) is the U.S. Navy's 43rd Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer and was named in honor of Rear Adm. Gordon P. Chung-Hoon (1910-1979), a recipient of the Navy Cross and Silver Star for conspicuous gallantry and extraordinary heroism as commanding officer for USS Sigsbee (DD 502) from May 1944 through 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 April 14, 1945, while on radar picket station off Okinawa, a kamikaze crashed into Sigsbee, reducing her starboard engine to five knots and knocking out the ship's port engine and steering control. Despite the damage, Chung-Hoon valiantly kept his anti-aircraft batteries delivering prolonged and effective fire against the continuing enemy air attack, while simultaneously directing damage control efforts. His leadership helped Sigsbee to make it to port under her own power.

The contract to build her was awarded to Northrop Grumman Ship Systems on March 6, 1998. Construction began on January 17, 2001, and the keel was laid down on January 14, 2002, at the company's Ingalls shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss. When the ship's hull integration was complete, DDG 93 was moved over land via Ingall's wheel-on-rail transfer system, and onto the shipyard's launch and recovery dock. On December 15, 2002, the drydock was ballasted down, and Chung-Hoon floated free.

January 11, 2003 The Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Chung-Hoon was christened during a ceremony at Northrop Grumman Ship Systems in Pascagoula, Miss.
