The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District officially welcomed three new hydrographic survey vessels to its fleet, during a dedication ceremony, June 12, 2025, at the District’s Engineers Depot in Savannah, Georgia. Each vessel bears the name of a fallen U.S. Army Soldier from Georgia, serving as a lasting tribute to their sacrifice and service. The 30-foot Wright is named for Staff Sgt. Dustin Wright, the 27-foot Chisholm for Sgt. Tyrone Lanard Chisholm, and the 23-foot Beale for Sgt. 1st Class John C. Beale. More than 160 attendees joined the ceremony— in person and virtually—which was hosted by Savannah District Commander Col. Ron Sturgeon. “We gather today with heavy hearts and profound gratitude to dedicate three extraordinary vessels in honor of three heroic Soldiers who gave their lives in service to our nation,” said Sturgeon. “It is a privilege to stand before you, their families, to honor their sacrifices and ensure their legacies endure through these vessels and the missions they will carry out.” The new vessels will support a wide range of missions essential to the Corps’ operations, including hydrographic surveys to assess navigation channel conditions, monitoring dredging efforts, detecting underwater obstructions, and transporting personnel and equipment to project sites. All three vessels will operate throughout the Savannah District’s area of responsibility, which includes key waterways such as the Savannah Harbor, the third busiest container port in the U.S., the Brunswick Harbor, the largest roll-on/roll-off port, and the 161-mile stretch of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway along Georgia’s coast.
