The recipient of the <b>Claud A. Jones Award</b>, presented annually since 1987, is a fleet or field engineer who has made significant contributions to improving operational engineering or material readiness of our maritime defense forces during the past three years. Admiral Jones' career spanned over forty years including his midshipman days, the first twenty-four years largely spent on ships and with the fleet serving with distinction in engineering assignments. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for “extraordinary heroism in the line of his profession“ as a result of his courageous actions in 1915, while serving as engineer on the USS <i>Tennessee</i>, when his ship was wrecked by a tidal wave.
