130424-N-YU572-003 DA NANG, Vietnam (April 23, 2013) Cmdr. Justin Orlich, commanding officer of the guided-missile destroyer USS Chung-Hoon (DDG 93), gives a tour of the ship to nuns from the Con Ga Church in Da Nang, Vietnam.
Chung-Hoon is currently supporting a Naval Exchange Activity (NEA) in Da Nang. The NEA provides opportunities for U.S. and Vietnamese naval professionals to share best practices and exchange maritime skills.
Maritime skill exchanges between the two navies are non-combatant events, such as humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, medical training, fire-fighting and damage control, search and rescue, diving and salvage, sports and community service projects.

Isn't it good to see a Church full to overflowing,
with the congregation having to sit outside.]

Known to locals as Con Ga Church (Rooster Church) because of the weathercock on top of the steeple, the candy-pink Da Nang Cathedral was built for the city’s French residents in 1923. Today, it serves a Catholic community of 4000 – it’s standing room only if you arrive late.
