JAPAN-US-VIETNAM-MILITARY-LE
In this image obtained from the US Navy, Commander Hung Ba Le (R) assumes command of the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Lassen on April 23, 2009 relieving Commander Anthony Simmons during a change of command ceremony at Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan. Le, who fled Vietnam as a boy, is scheduled to return to Vietnam on a goodwill visit in November 2009 in command of the destroyer, the US Navy said on October 30, 2009. Born in the Vietnamese city of Hue, Le and his family were picked up at sea in 1975 by a US naval ship in the closing days of the Vietnam war, the Navy said on its website. His family settled in Virginia and he later became a US citizen, graduating in 1992 from the US Naval Academy.
