21st Century Complete Guide to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis - History, Courses, Departments, Athletics, Admissions, Cadet Life, Weapons, Seamanship, Engineering (Three CD-ROM Set)

This up-to-date and expanded electronic book on three CD-ROMs has a comprehensive collection of documents and publications covering all aspects of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. The Naval Academy was founded in 1845 by the Secretary of the Navy, George Bancroft, in what is now historic Annapolis, MD. The history of the Academy has often reflected the history of the United States itself. As the U.S. Navy has moved from a fleet of sail and steam-powered ships to a high tech fleet of nuclear-powered submarines and surface ships as well as supersonic aircraft, the Academy has changed also. The Naval Academy gives young men and women the up-to-date academic and professional training needed to be effective naval and marine officers in their assignments after graduation. Every day, as the undergraduate college of the naval service, the United States Naval Academy strives to accomplish its mission to develop midshipmen "morally, mentally, and physically."
