Summary

[edit]
Description

New York District's newest survey vessel sails around the New York and New Jersey Harbor as its crew works to calibrate its newly installed survey equipment. As the vessel hasn't been named yet, people have nicknamed it "Little Giant" for now after the model of the boat and because it's relatively small. "Little Giant" has four different kinds of surveying capabilities, including a new capability for New York District's fleet - sub-bottom surveying. Sub-bottom surveying allows the vessel to not only determine how far it is to the bottom of a channel, but it can sort of "see through" the layers of sediment to help determine how deep the sediment is before becoming rock.
