A portrait of Maj. Gen. Robert Smalls hangs on the bridge of the ship bearing his name. The MG Robert Smalls (LSV-8) is an Army Logistics Support Vessel new inventory of the 718th Transportation Battalion, 230th Sustainment Brigade while deployed to the Persian Gulf. The vessel is the first one in the Army's fleet to be named after an African-American citizen and former slave. Smalls was a general during the Civil War after commandeering a Confederate transport and turned the ship over to the Union, but not before transporting his family and 12 other slaves.
