The 511th Engineer Dive Detachment teamed up May 21, 2024, with hydrographic surveyors from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers San Francisco District to conduct sonar survey operations in Suisun Bay. The four-Soldier team deployed an underwater towfish from the deck of the District’s M/V Sounder to complete side scans of the harbor at Military Ocean Terminal Concord. The site is where the deadly Port of Chicago Disaster happened on July 17, 1944, in which a massive explosion took the lives of 320 sailors and civilians. It was the worst home front disaster the Nation faced during World War II. The survey operations will help inform the District about the presence of underwater objects in advance of a future dredging contract.
