She is named in honor of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir of the Korean War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USS Chosin's About Page )〕 Commissioned in 1991, she is currently serving in the Pacific Fleet, based at Pearl Harbor. The cruiser has participated in Operation Southern Watch, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. She is the first ship of this name. == Operational history == In March 2003 ''Chosin'' was assigned to Cruiser-Destroyer Group One.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hazegray.org/worldnav/usa/surface.htm )〕 In April 2008, ''Chosin'' failed〔 〕 her Board of Inspection and Survey (InSurv) examination and was judged "unfit for sustained combat operations."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Navy Board of Inspection and Survey Report - USS ''Chosin'' ) 〕 In Spring of 2008, ''Chosin'' had received replacement gun barrels for both of her 5-inch guns.〔(PDF ), Dragon Digest, July 2008. Accessed 6 October 2008. 〕 On 6 November 2009 ''Chosin'' assumed the role as flagship for the counter-piracy task force Combined Task Force 151. On 17 November 2009 ''Chosin'' rescued three stranded Yemeni fishermen in the Gulf of Aden. According to the fishermen, they were left stranded in the water after 12 suspected Somali pirates hijacked their vessel. The fishermen also said that the pirates gave them an ultimatum to either jump overboard with only a wooden plank as a flotation device or be killed. ''Chosin'' medical personnel treated the fishermen and gave them food and water. Once the fishermen were deemed to be medically stable, ''Chosin'' transferred the fishermen to a Yemen Navy vessel. In April 2013, ''Chosin'' passed its Board of Inspection and Survey (InSurv). On 30 April 2013 ''Chosin'' departed her home port of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) for a scheduled Western Pacific deployment. While deployed, ''Chosin'' was scheduled to conduct theater security operations with partner nations while providing deterrence, promoting peace and security, preserving freedom of the seas and providing humanitarian assistance/disaster response. In October 2013 the cruiser participated in the International Fleet Review 2013 in Sydney, Australia.〔 〕 In February 2014 ''Chosin'' dispatched supplies via helicopter to Royal Canadian Navy ship after a severe engine room fire left her dead in the water about off the coast of Hawaii. For providing assistance to ''Protecteur'', the Canadian government awarded ''Chosin'' a Canadian Forces Unit Commendation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS Chosin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
