The U.S. Navy’s next ship will not only honor the state of Georgia, but the USS Savannah is being sponsored by Dianne Isakson, wife of U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, (R-GA).
Isakson joined his wife recently at the keel laying ceremony of the U.S. Navy’s future Independence-variant Littoral Combat Ship 28 at Austal USA’s Mobile, Alabama, shipyard.
