Building 66NS and the North Severn Complex sit on the north side of the Severn River across from the United States Naval Academy (also part of the NSAA). North and east of the North Severn Complex is Green bury Point, the location of the former Naval Radio Transmitting Facility. Description Building 66NS was built in 1943 as a Small Craft Repair Facility. The building has a rectangular footprint oriented north-south and consists of two adjoining sections. The north section is a large two-story building with an arched roof capped with a monitor. It sits on a stretcher-bond brick foundation and is clad in corrugated metal siding that is not original to the building . The north section of the building is largely unfenestrated. Five roll-up metal vehicular doors span the first story of the west elevation. A single-leaf door that serves as the main entrance is located on the east elevation and is sheltered by a canvas awning. The second story of the north section is pierced by a row of one-over-one metal-sash replacement windows on the east elevation and three groups of one-over-one metal-sash replacement windows on the west elevation.

The building has a saw tooth roof covered in standing-seam metal. The south section's exterior walls are clad in corrugated metal that is not original to the building. The main entrance is located on the east elevation and consists of a single-leaf door sheltered by a canvas awning. One-light fixed metal-sash replacement windows pierce the southeast corner. The west elevation is fenestrated by three roll-up metal doors, single-leaf metal doors, and one-light fixed metal-sash replacement windows. A concrete-block bay projects from the west elevation and contains a single-leaf door. Historical photos show that the north section of the building was originally pierced by large industrial multi-light fixed and awning metal-sash windows on the east and west elevations. Similar windows also lined the east, south, and possibly the west elevations of the south section of the building . These windows have since been removed and/or covered with siding . The original sidi ng of the north and south sections of the building consisted of rectangular panels that were possibly metal or Transite. Historical Background The Navy first occupied the North Severn Complex near the location of Building 66NS in 1938, and in 1939, the first Yard Patrol Crafts (Y Ps) began docking in the area. YPs are small boats used as training crafts for midshipmen and provide realistic at-sea training for navigation. The boats patrol the area between the boat basin and the Chesapeake Bay and continue to be docked on the North Severn Complex today (Cullinane and Robinson 1999:34). Construction in the vicinity of Bu ilding 66NS began circa 1940 with a new seaplane hangar for aviation training at the Naval Academy. The hangar was completed by 1941 on the north shore of the Severn River, adjacent to the Naval Experimental Station. The construction also included a large parking apron for aircraft and a basin, which was built by infilling the shoreline south of Carr Point. The completed facility included the 4, 155-square-foot concrete apron , the basin , and a seaplane ramp (Naval Academy Archives 1945; Preston et al 2003:69; Shafroth 1937). The Navy expanded the area adjacent to the Naval Experimental Station on the north side of the Severn River simultaneously with the new hangar. Construction included an Enlisted Men's Barracks in 1941 and Bachelor's Officer's Quarters, Boat Repair Shed, Dispensary, and Drill and Combat Areas in 1942 (Cullinane and Robinson 1999:39) . In 1943 the Navy purchased 123 additional acres of land to improve the living conditions of 800 men living on the USS Reina Mercedes and the USS Cumberland (Global Security 2010). The same year marked the construction of the Small Craft Repair Facility (Building 66NS). storage buildings, and the Marine Railway. Prior to 1943, all repairs and overhauls of Naval Academy ships were completed at the Norfolk Navy Yard. After the completion of Building 66NS, the Naval Academy became self-supporting in its small craft operations and maintenance for the first time. During World War II the Navy's activities on the North Severn became part of the Severn River Naval Command, which also incl uded the Naval Academy, the Engineering Experimental Station, the Naval Radio Station, the Naval Hospital, and the Postgraduate School. In 1947 the Navy's activities on the North Severn formally became part of the Naval Station Annapolis (Cullinane and Robinson 1999:34-35). The Naval Station Annapolis was composed of three commands: the Naval Air Facility, the MARYLAND HISTORICAL TRUST REVIEW Eligibility Recommended: Eligibility Not Recommended: x Criteria: A B c D Considerations: A B c D E F G MHT Comments: Amanda Apple Monday, June 23, 2014 Reviewer, Office of Preservation Services Date N/A Reviewer, National Register Program Date Monday, June 23, 2014 Printed from MHT GIS!Library Database NR-ELIGIBILITY REVIEW FORM ~Cll.S Building 66NS, Small Craft Facility Wge3 Naval Barracks (USS Reina Mercedes), and the Naval Small Craft Facility (Naval Academy Archives 1947). As part of the Naval Station Annapolis, the Naval Small Craft Facility was responsible for the Small Craft Basin , the Boat Repair Shed (Building 66NS), Ship Facilities, and the Marine Railway. In 1950 the Naval Air Facility became a separate command under the Severn River Naval Command and the Small Craft Facility remained as part of the Naval Station Annapolis, with its primary mission "to operate and maintain small craft and instruction facilities, and provide services as directed for the instruction and support of the Brigade of Midshipmen, and for utility and emergency services to the Severn River Naval Command" (Cullinane and Robinson 1999:36). The Naval Station Annapolis, which has also included the former seaplane hangar since 1962, was recommissioned as the Naval Support Activity Annapolis (NSAA) in 2006. The current mission of the NSAA is to provide material, personnel, and service support to the Naval Academy by maintaining small craft, equipment, and facilities for midshipmen training and by providing logistical support to the Naval Academy in its midshipmen professional development program. As a result the station maintains a fleet of over 250 YPs and sail craft, operates an Industrial Repair Department, employs divers who ensure the underwater integrity of operations, and provides pistol and rifle ranges (Global Security 2010; Sullivan 2006). Building 66NS is still currently used as a Small Craft Repair Facility, and the adjacent dock and basin hold the YPs used by the Naval Academy. Evaluation Building 66NS retains a low level of integrity. Changes made to the building since its construction include the replacement of the original siding and the covering and replacement of the original windows.

  • Halsey, Admiral William F
    HALSEY THE FIGHTER Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr., U.S.N., Commander, Thi~d Fleet, has held a fighting command against the Japanese virtually with­ out interruption since the outbreak of war. During that three -year period, under command of Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, U.S.N., he conducted the highly successful campaign in the South Pacific and the subsequent operations by the Third Fleet leading to the occupation of the Philippines. It was his drive and audacity that accounted, in large measure, for the success· of these forces. Admiral Halsey has peen described in an offi~ial citation as" a forceful and inspiring leader." In World War I, he was awarded the Navy Cross for destroyer service and cited for his "vigorous and unremitting" prosecution of offensive and defensive action. In this war he has been cited for "brilliant and audacious attack"; for "invincible determination to destroy the enemy," and "daring initiative and superb tactical skill." Admiral Halsey's own formula for war is: "Hit hard, hit fast,hit often." He insists on full flexibility in carrying out a miSSion, without adhering to rigid, written plans conceived before the tactical situation develops. "I believe in violating the rules," he says. "'vVe violate them every day. We do the unexpected -- we Bxpose ourselves to shore -based planes. We don't stay behind the battle with our carriers. But, most important, whatever we do -- we do fastl" Long before the outbreak of this war, Admiral Halsey appreCiated the military significance of the airplane. That accounted for his decision to take up aviation.

(Foto del Museo Naval de Madrid). omo es conocido, la mayoría de las unidades navales de la armada de Estados Unidos han estado dotadas de oficina postal para atender al correo de los tripulantes; como es C lógico, estas oficinas estaban dotadas de matasellos para la cancelación del correo. En estos matasellos se detallaba el nombre y el código de clasificación del buque (excepto en épo- cas de guerra que se utilizaban matasellos numerales), y muchas veces también, aprovechando el espacio entre las líneas canceladoras, se colocaban ahí diversos mensajes, como por ejemplo los puertos que se visitaban, mensajes navideños, etc. Todo esto como preámbulo para conocer el final de un buque de la armada española que, tras ser hundido en aguas de la bahía de Santiago de Cuba, fue reflotado por la armada de Estados Unidos, remolcado a ese país y utilizado como buque alojamiento de la armada hasta casi los años 60 del siglo XX. Lógicamente hablamos del crucero Reina Mercedes, o USS Reina Mercedes como estaba catalogado por la armada de Estados Unidos, ya que mantuvieron el nombre original del buque. El crucero Reina Mercedes se construyó en el Arsenal Naval de Cartagena y fue botado en septiembre de 1887. Con un armamento principal compuesto por seis cañones de 160 mm, y cinco tubos lanzatorpedos fijos de 356 mm, este buque formaba parte de la clase de cruceros Clase Reina Cristina. Al igual que sus dos gemelos (Reina Cristina y Alfonso XII), sufrió grandes retrasos en su construcción, debido a la falta de materiales.

  • Class of 1949 HISTORY
    1 Class of 1949 HISTORY The history of the Class of 1949 is still in development. Nonetheless, members can recall its early beginnings and many things of subsequent years. A ’49 ABSTRACT was prepared by Gene Shine (deceased) in 1994 and rewritten for dissemination during the 50th Class of 1949 Reunion titled A 50TH YEAR PROFILE OF THE CLASS OF 1949, U. S. NAVAL ACADEMY, October 1999. For those unaware of its existence, a condensation is given herein. Attendees of the 50th Reunion should have a copy of the 20 plus page document. A copy is at 49 House along with a copy of LUCKY BAG, Nineteen Forty-Nine and other class memorabilia. THE FIRST 50 YEARS (1945-1995) Candidates for admission to the United States Naval Academy as members of the Class of 1949 began arriving in Annapolis June 11, 1945 and ended with the last checking in October 25, 1945. The appointee selection process many had already endured included competitive examinations, interviews, and some physical screening; some arrived with direct appointments and having passed the USNA Entrance Examination; and some arrived with direct appointments with their entrance examination waived by college certificate. All, reportedly 1345, had to successfully survive the admission process. (The 1345 number includes principal appointees and replacement alternate(s) should the principal fail his physical or change his mind.) The admission process was a 3-day evolution. The first day scheduled required a physical examination following check-in at the Administration Building. Failing initial examination the candidate was rejected for entry or scheduled for reexamination.
