About U.S. Naval Academy

The U.S. Naval Academy, also known as The Academy, The Boat School or Canoe U, is a four-year coeducational federal service academy located in Annapolis, which is the capital of the US state of Maryland, and the county seat of Anne Arundel County, with a population estimated at a number of nearly 37 000 inhabitants, during the 2008 census. Annapolis is included in the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area, and it is best known for the fact that it is home of the U.S. Naval Academy and St. John’s College.

The Academy was founded in 1845, as the Naval School, by Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft, adopting its current name and being reorganized in 1850, being placed under the supervision of the chief of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography. The institution educates officers, preparing them primarily for the US Navy and Marine Corps, also producing officers for the other branches of the US armed forces, including for some foreign countries.

The major halls and principal buildings, on The Academy’s 40 000-square meters campus, include: the Bancroft Hall, which is the largest building on campus, and the largest dormitory campus on world, Alumni Hall, the primary assembly hall for the Brigade of Midshipmen, where various sporting events are hosted, Maury Hall, which contains the departments of Weapons and Systems Engineering, plus Electrical Engineering, and Rickover Hall, which houses the departments of Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering.

The U. S. Naval Academy offers its students a total of 22 majors, among which there are in: Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Chemistry, Chinese, Quantitative Economics, Systems Engineering, Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering. The fundamental aspects of The Academy are moral and the ethical development, focusing on integrity, honor, and mutual respect based on the moral values of respect for human dignity.

The athletic teams from The Academy are known as the Navy Midshipmen, who compete in the NCAA’s Division I FBS as an independent in football and in the NCAA Division I-level Patriot League in many other sports, the institution having a total of 30 varsity sports teams and 13 club sports teams, which are, perhaps, best known for their results in men’s basketball, football, men’s lacrosse and men’s soccer, in which they’ve experienced most of their notable wins. The most important sporting event at the academy is the annual Army–Navy Game, when the Navy, Air Force, and Army compete for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, awarded to the academy that defeats the others in football that year.
