==Navy Cross citation==

{{blockquote|The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Commander Gordon Paiea Chung-Hoon, United States Navy, for extraordinary heroism and distinguished service in the line of this profession as Commanding Officer of the Destroyer U.S.S. SIGSBEE (DD-502), a unit of an Advanced Picket Group, in action against enemy Japanese forces in the vicinity of Okinawa, Ryukyu Islands, on 14 April 1945. Although his ship suffered major damage when struck by an enemy plane and all power was lost, Commander Chung-Hoon coolly carried out defensive maneuvers and directed his anti-aircraft batteries in delivering prolonged and effective fire against the continued heavy enemy air attack. Afterwards, he supervised damage-control procedure which resulted in his ship being made sea-worthy for a safe return to port under its own restored power. Commander Chung-Hoon's gallant fighting spirit, courage and unwavering devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.<ref>"[http://valor.militarytimes.com/recipient.php?recipientid=20290 Hall of Valor for Gordon Paiea Chung-Hoon], {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306040230/http://valor.militarytimes.com/recipient.php?recipientid=20290# |date=2016-03-06 }}" Military Times, accessed March 5, 2016.</ref>}}
