NAMING OF A NAVAL COMBAT VESSEL AFTER FATHER 
VINCENT CAPODANNO. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Father Vincent Capodanno was born on February 13, 
1929, in Staten Island, New York. 
(2) After attending Fordham University for a year, he 
entered the Maryknoll Missionary Seminary in upstate New 
York in 1949, and was ordained a Catholic priest in June 
1957. 
(3) Father Capodanno’s first assignment as a missionary 
was working with aboriginal Taiwanese people in the moun-
tains of Taiwan where he served in a parish and later in 
a school. After several years, Father Capodanno returned to 
the United States for leave and then was assigned to a 
Maryknoll school in Hong Kong. 
(4) Father Vincent Capodanno volunteered as a Navy Chap-
lain and was commissioned a Lieutenant in the Chaplain Corps 
of the United States Naval Reserve in December 28, 1965. 
(5) Father Vincent Capodanno selflessly extended his com-
bat tour in Vietnam on the condition he was allowed to remain 
with the infantry. 
(6) On September 4, 1967, during a fierce battle in the 
Thang Binh District of the Que-Son Valley in Vietnam, Father 
Capodanno went among the wounded and dying, giving last 
rites and caring for the injured. He was killed that day while 
taking care of his Marines. 
(7) On January 7, 1969, Father Vincent Capodanno was 
awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for comforting the
H. R. 6523—213 
wounded and dying during the Vietnam conflict. For his dedi-
cated service, Father Capodanno was also awarded the Bronze 
Star, the Purple Heart, the Presidential Unit Citation, the 
National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, 
the Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm, and the Vietnam 
Campaign Medal. 
(8) In his memory, the U.S.S. Capodanno was commissioned 
on September 17, 1973. It is the only Naval vessel to date 
to have received a Papal blessing by Pope John Paul II in 
Naples, Italy, on September 4, 1981. 
(9) The U.S.S. Capodanno was decommissioned on July 
30, 1993. 
(b) SENSE
OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that 
the Secretary of the Navy should name a combat vessel of the 
United States Navy the ‘‘U.S.S. Father Vincent Capodanno’’, in 
honor of Father Vincent Capodanno, a lieutenant in the Navy 
Chaplain Corps.
