CHIPS Articles: About Grace Hopper

About Grace Hopper
By CHIPS Magazine - June 27, 2011
Welcome to the Hopper webpage -- both the lady and her ship ...

The late Retired Navy Rear Adm. Grace Hopper served the United States Navy and its computer and communications communities for many years. It's only fitting that her personal homepage and that of the ship named in her honor reside here with us, the people who served with her. Our intention is to do more than document RADM Hopper's achievements. That has obviously been done numerous times. Instead, we want to preserve the personal memories of those who served with her.
