Rear Admiral Grace Hopper Honored at ANC
Arlington National Cemetery
Dec. 9, 2015 | 1:08
This week, the U.S. Navy honored Rear Admiral Grace Brewster Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906 – January 1, 1992). Rear Adm. Hopper was an American computer science pioneer who served during World War II, Korea and Vietnam. In this video, Captain Darryl F. Jackson, Commanding Officer of the Hopper Information Services Center at the Office of Naval Intelligence, laid a wreath at her grave honoring her life and legacy.
Rear Adm. Hopper was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer in 1944, invented the first compiler for a computer programming language, and was one of those who popularized the idea of machine-independent programming languages. She is credited with popularizing the term "debugging" for fixing computer glitches. The U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke class guided-missile destroyer USS Hopper (DDG-70) is named for her, as is the Cray XE6 "Hopper" supercomputer at NERSC.
