Chung-Hoon’s commanding officer Cmdr. Tom Ogden said:
Chung-Hoon is the first ship from Hawaii to take part in a fleet exercise of this magnitude since the early 2000s. Through careful coordination and planning, we were tested through multiple scenarios. Our Sailors executed at a very high level, and moving forward we are confident in Chung-Hoon’s role within the strike group.
Usually operating independently, “Hawaii’s Destroyer” played an essential role in its integration with the strike group, providing a top-tier mission asset.
The successful completion of COMPTUEX/JTFEX brings Chung-Hoon a step closer to deployment.
