    UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY UNITEDSecretary of the Navy STATES George Bancroft laid NAVAL the founda- ACADEMY tion for the Naval Academy when, in 1845, he established the Naval School at Fort Severn in Annapolis. Commander Franklin Buchanan served as the first Superintendent. His fac- ulty consisted of four officers and three civilian professors. There were 50 students. Initially, the academic and professional instruction required five yearsthe first and last at Annapolis, with the intervening three at sea. In 1850, the Naval School became the United States Naval Academy. The following year, the Academy adopted its current course of instruction which includes four consecutive years at Annapolis, with at-sea training provided during the summers. The Naval Academy moved to Newport, R.I., during the Civil War. In 1865, it was re-established at Annapolis under the leadership of Vice Admiral David Dixon Porter. During these early years, the Academy was one of the few institutions of high- er learning offering a sophisticated undergraduate course in tech- nical education. The late 19th century saw immense changes in naval tech- nology with the conversion from sail-powered, wooden ships to steam-powered vessels of steel, which also resulted in rapid developments in naval weaponry and tactics. With the Spanish- American War in 1898, the United States became a world naval power, and early Naval Academy graduates like George Dewey and Alfred Thayer Mahan made significant contributions to our national heritage. The new century saw the nations undergraduate naval college grow in size and academic prowess. The Class of 1895 had pro- duced 41 graduates.

From now on, Fanfare will arrive in your mailbox twice a Ayear. We’ll be sending information about upcoming per- formances and where we will be, separately. This will allow us to provide more in-depth stories and a new feature on the work done by our bands out in the fleet. Whether through music, imagery, video or articles, we’re always looking for new ways to reach more people, and to connect Americans with their Navy. We had a busy summer! June 5 was the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, one of the greatest naval battles the world has ever witnessed and a critical turning point in the Pacific during World War II. Navy bands supported commemoration events around the world. We even sent musicians to Midway Atoll, where a bugler and vocalist from the U.S. Pacific Fleet Band participated in a globally-broadcast ceremony. Inspired by the “Greatest Generation,” our Sailors and civilians carry on that legacy of adaptation and resilience. Believe it or not, we’re already nearing the end of 2017. It’s been a great year, and we anticipate an even greater 2018. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at one of our concerts. Kenneth C.

  • Navy Blue & Gold
    Navy Blue & Gold Now colleges from sea to sea may sing of colors true, But who has better right than we to hoist a symbol hue: For sailors brave in battle fair since fighting days of old Have proved the sailor’s right to wear the Navy Blue & Gold. Four years together by the Bay, where Severn joins the tide, Then by the Service called away, we’re scattered far and wide; But still when two or three shall meet, and old tales be retold, From low to highest in the Fleet, we’ll pledge the Blue & Gold. So hoist our colors, hoist them high, and vow allegiance true, So long as sunset gilds the sky, above the ocean’s blue. Just let us live the life we love, and with our voyage through, May we all muster up above, a-wearing Navy Blue. 2 Presented by: USNA Parents Club of Maryland USNA Parents Club of Northern Virginia 8 February 2014 3 Table of Contents Introduction ........................................................................................................................................... 4 Weekly Schedule .................................................................................................................................... 5 Friday, 16 May 2014 ........................................................................................................................... 5 Saturday, 17 May 2014 ...................................................................................................................... 5 Sunday, 18 May 2014 ........................................................................................................................

  • 2009 President's Report
    SOCIETY OF SPONSORS OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY PRESIDENT’S REPORT MAY 2008—MAY 2009 (I have represented the Society at 8 christenings and 7 commissionings since the May 2008 Annual Meeting; additionally, sponsors have participated in 3 keel authentications. Don’t forget to visualize these special events---and maybe attend one next year!) Following our Centennial Year Annual Meeting on May 8, I departed for Bath Maine. There on May 10, 2008, a blustery but sunny day at Bath Iron Works (BIW), STOCKDALE (DDG-106), named for a great American hero and Naval Officer, Vice Admiral James B. Stockdale, was christened by his widow, Mrs. Sybil Stockdale, assisted by her Maid of Honor and eldest grand daughter, Elizabeth Stockdale. VADM Stockdale was a Medal of Honor recipient as well as a Vice Presidential candidate with Ross Perot. He spent 7 1/2 years as a Prisoner of War. Sybil Bailey Stockdale is a founder of the NATIONAL LEAGUE OF FAMILIES OF AMERICAN PRISONERS AND MISSING IN SE ASIA. She met with Henry Kissinger, President Nixon and even the Viet Nam delegation at the Paris Peace Talks. She was the first wife of an active duty officer to receive the Navy’s Distinguished Public Service Award. With her husband she co-authored the book IN LOVE AND WAR. She is also the sponsor of AVENGER (MCM-1) and a life member of the Society. The four Stockdale sons and several grandchildren shared in the festivities along with some of his fellow POWs. As has often been the case this year, the bottle did not break the first time but BIW was prepared to try again and the second time was a success.

  • USNA Class of 1969 Class History 1 September 2016 Update
    USNA Class of 1969 Class History 1 September 2016 Update Compiled by Todd Creekman and Pat Stroop Preamble This history, authorized by the Class of 1969 Foundation, contains information gathered in preparation for our 40th and 45th reunions, and updated in 2016. We have mentioned names where appropriate, and left them out where privacy was important. We have purposely not attempted to document classmate post-military service accomplishments or tell individual sea stories. A separate project to compile that type of information, hard copy and/or digital, is being contemplated for the period between the 45th and 50th reunions. Comments or feedback on this Class History are welcome to Todd Creekman ([email protected]) and Pat Stroop ([email protected]). The Beginning The United States Naval Academy Class of 1969 took the midshipman oath of office in Tecumseh Court on 30 June 1965. 92% of us were in the top 40% of our high school class, and 46% were president or a senior officer of our class. Our combined SAT scores (1266) were the highest of any class from the time that data was required for admission consideration until 1984. 72% of us were varsity athletes, one third were members of service clubs, and 11% were Eagle Scouts. 19% of us had some college preparation work. Every state, the District of Columbia and six foreign countries (Chile, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Philippines, and Venezuela) were represented in our class. 86 of us were sons of USNA graduates. Of 5,718 applicants, 1,297 had been selected for our class. But our class consisted of 1,321 men that summer: 1,297 new admissions, 17 men turned back from 1968, and 7 ex-midshipmen who were re-admitted into our class.
