The USS Milius (DDG-69) is an
Arleigh Burke class Aegis guided missile destroyer
of the United States Navy. Her namesake is Commander
Paul L. Milius (1928-1968) of U.S. Navy squadron
VO-67. His OP-2E aircraft, callsign Sophomore 50,
was hit by anti-aircraft fire over Laos on 27
February 1968 and he ordered his crew to bail out. Seven of the nine men aboard were rescued. The
remains of the eighth crewmember, ATN2 John Hartzeim,
who was wounded in the attack, were identified on 19
February 1999. Although he exited his aircraft,
Commander Milius was never recovered.
