US Navy commissions USS 'Daniel Inouye' in Hawaii

The US Navy on Wednesday commissioned the USS Daniel Inouye, named after the long-serving US senator from Hawaii and decorated World War II veteran.
Inouye and other Japanese Americans were initially prevented from enlisting for service after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. After the policy was changed, his unit of Japanese-American soldiers became one of the most decorated, with Inouye earning the Medal of Honor and, now, a guided missile destroyer bearing his name.
Among those in attendance was US Navy Secretary Carlos del Toro, who gave the keynote address on Tuesday at the 80th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
