The Claud A. Jones Award is a prestigious award presented annually to the "Fleet Engineer of the Year" by the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE) since 1987. The award recognizes the efforts of United States fleet or field engineers who have made significant contributions to improving operational engineering or material readiness of the United States maritime forces during the past three years prior to nomination. The award is named in memory of Medal of Honor recipient Admiral Claud Ashton Jones for "extraordinary heroism in the line of his profession" as a result of his courageous actions in 1916 while serving as engineer on USS Memphis (CA-10) when she was wrecked in the harbor of Santo Domingo by an unexpected storm surge that originated from Hurricane Eight of the 1916 Atlantic hurricane season. Jones' career spanned over 40 years including his midshipman days with the first 24 years of his service spent largely on ships and with the fleet while serving with distinction in engineering assignments.
