The United States Naval Academy (also known as USNA , Annapolis , or just Navy ) is a four-year academy coeducational federal services in Annapolis, Maryland. Founded on October 10, 1845, under the Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft, it is the second oldest of five US service academies, and educates officers to be assigned primarily to the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The 338-acre campus (137Ã, ha) is located on the former Fort Severn land at the confluence of the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay at Anne Arundel County, 33 miles (53 km) east of Washington, DC and 26 miles (42 km) southeast of Baltimore. The entire campus (known to the insiders as "the Yard") is a National Historic Landmark and home to many historic sites, buildings, and monuments. It replaced Philadelphia Naval Asylum, in Philadelphia, which served as the first US Naval Academy from 1838 to 1845 when the Naval Academy was formed in Annapolis.
Candidates for admission generally must apply directly to the academy and receive nominations, usually from Members of Congress. Students are officer-in-training and referred to as midshipmen. The tuition fee for midshipmen is fully funded by the Navy in exchange for active duty service obligations upon graduation. Around 1,200 "plebes" (short for the Roman Old Romans) enter the Academy every summer for a tight Plebe Summer. About 1,000 graduates of middle class. Graduates are usually assigned as banner in the Navy or second lieutenant in the Marine Corps, but a small number can also be assigned cross as officers in other US services, and services from allied countries. The United States Naval Academy has some of the highest paid graduates in the country according to the starting salary. The academic program provides a bachelor's degree in science with a curriculum that assesses the performance of midfielders in broad academic programs, military leadership performance, and mandatory participation in competitive athletics. Midshipmen are required to comply with the Academy Honor Concept.

Description
The United States Naval Academy campus is located in Annapolis, Maryland, at the confluence of the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay.
In 2016 edition, AS. News & amp; World Report rated the US Naval Academy as a # 1 liberal arts college and is tied to the 12th best liberal arts college in the US. In the category of High School Counselor High School Ranking for National Liberal Art, the Naval Academy is also tied for Number 1 with the US Military Academy and the US Air Force Academy, and is tied for the 5th place number for the Best Engineering Bachelor program in schools where doctoral is not offered.

Candidate candidates must be nominated by a particular public official - or become a child of Medal of Honor, who grants the right candidate qualified to enter automatically without nomination. Nominations can be made by members and delegates to Congress, President or Vice President, Secretary of the Navy or other specified sources. Candidates must also pass a physical fitness test and a thorough medical examination as part of the application process. Class 2020 has 1,355 bids made to 17,043 applicants. In the 21st century, there are about 1,200 students in each new class (new students). The US government pays school fees, rooms, and councils. Midshipmen receive monthly payments of $ 1,017.00, by 2015. Of this amount, payments are automatically deducted for uniform charges, books, supplies, services, and other expenses. Taruna only receives a portion of their total salary in cash while the remainder is released during the "firstie" (senior) year. Midshipmen fourth grade (plebes) for the second class (junior) midshipmen receive a monthly allowance of $ 100, $ 200, $ 300, respectively. First-class waiters receive the difference between outstanding salary and expenses.
Students at the navy academy are referred to as Taruna, official military rank and paygrade. As an actual fighter in the United States Navy, from the moment they raised their hands and confirmed the oath of office at the inauguration ceremony, they submitted to the Code of Military Justice Uniform, to which the USNA regulation was part, as well as all executive policies and orders formulated by the Department of Forces Sea. The same term includes both men and women. After graduation, most naval naval academies are assigned as bases in the Navy or second lieutenants in the Marine Corps and serve a minimum of five years after their commissioning. If they are selected to serve as pilots, they will serve a minimum of 8-11 years from their winged date, and if they are selected to serve as naval officers they will serve 6-8 years. People from abroad are assigned to the armed forces of their home countries.
The most recent graduated class, which 2017, inaugurates exactly 1,200 midfielders in 2013 and passes 1,053 in 2017. 768 is assigned as Ensigns Navy and 259 as Lieutenant 2 Marine. This graduation class consists of 242 women and 811 men. Since 1959, midshipmen have also qualified for interservice commissions in the Air Force or the Army, provided they meet the eligibility standards of such services. Starting in 2004, midshipmen are also eligible to search for Coast Guard commissions. Every year, a small number of graduates do this - usually three or four. By 2017, two class members are assigned as Lieutenant 2 Air Force. A small number of foreign students are accepted every year. In 2017, 17 people from overseas graduate.
At the beginning of their second year of class, the midshipmen made their commitment, also known as the signing of "2-for-7." It is a commitment to finish two years at the academy and then an additional five years on active duty. Upon graduation, the midshipmen are required to serve at least 5 years after graduation. Those selected for postgraduate education will continue to coincide with their commissioning obligations for officers in the US Navy and consecutively for officers in the US Marine Corps.
Midshipmen who enter the academy of civilian life and who resign or depart from the academy in their first two years are not subject to military service duties. Those who are separated - voluntarily or unintentionally - after that time are required to take active duty in enlisted capacity, usually for two to four years. Alternatively, former members of a separate group may reimburse government education expenses, although the sums are often over $ 150,000. The decision whether to serve the time listed or reimburse the government is at the discretion of the Secretary of the Navy. Midshipmen who enter the academy of the enlisted ranks return to their enlisted status to serve the rest of their enrollment.

The Navy operates the Navy School of Naval and Naval War College separately. The Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS), in Newport, Rhode Island, is the official preparatory school for Naval Academy. The Naval Academy Foundation provides post-secondary education for one year of preparatory school before entering the academy for a very limited number of applicants. There are several preparatory and junior college schools throughout the United States that host this program.
History
Identity
The Latin Motto academy is Ex Scientia Tridens , which means "Through Knowledge, the Power of the Sea." This appears in designs designed by lawyers, authors, editors, encyclopedists and naval academy graduates (1867), Park Benjamin, Jr. Adopted by the Department of the Navy in 1898 due to the efforts of other graduates (also 1867) and collaborators, Jacob W. Miller. Benjamin states:
"The seal or the emblem of the Naval Academy has the climax of the hand holding the trident, below which is a shield carrying an ancient galaxy that begins to work, bending, and under it an open book, educational indication, and finally bearing the motto 'Ex Scientia Tridens' (From the knowledge, the power of the sea). "
The trident, symbol of the Roman god Neptune, is a seapower.
Initial years
The institute was founded as the Navy School on October 10, 1845 by the Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft. The campus was founded in Annapolis on the grounds of the former US Army post of Fort Fort Severn. The school opened with 50 midshipman students and seven professors. The decision to establish an onshore academy may be partly a result of the Somers Affair, an alleged revolt involving the son of the War Secretary who resulted in his execution at sea. Commodore Matthew Perry has considerable interest in naval education, supports an internship system to train new sailors, and helps set up a curriculum for the United States Naval Academy. He is also a supporter of vocal modernization of the navy.
Initially five-year study programs have been determined. Only the first and last ones spent in school with the other three were missed at sea. The name is now adopted when the school was reorganized in 1850 and placed under the supervision of the Head of Bureau of Hydrographic and Hydrographic. Under the superintendent's responsibility, the study program extends to seven years with the first two and the last two to be spent at school and three-year intervention at sea. Four years of study were made successively in 1851 and the practice of sailing was replaced for three consecutive years at sea. The first class of the naval academy student graduated on June 10, 1854.
In 1860, the Tripoli Monument was transferred to the academy grounds. Later that year in August, the USS American Civil War
The Civil War upsets the Naval Academy. Southern sympathies spread high in Maryland. Although the riots broke out, Maryland did not declare secession. The United States government plans to move schools, when a sudden outbreak of hostility forces a quick departure. Almost immediately three upper classes were separated and commanded into the sea, and the remaining elements of the academy were transported to Fort Adams in Newport, Rhode Island by the USS Constitution in April 1861, where the academy was established. at a temporary facility and opened in May. The Annapolis campus, meanwhile, turned into the United States Army Hospital.
The United States Navy was emphasized by this situation because 24% of his bodyguards resigned and joined the Navy of the State Confederation, including 95 graduates and 59 middle fighters, as well as many key leaders involved with the establishment and establishment of the USNA. The first inspector, Admiral Franklin Buchanan, joined the Navy of the American Confederation as the first and main admiral. Captain Sidney Smith Lee, second commander of the midshipmen, and brother Robert E. Lee, left the Federal service in 1861 for the State Navy's Confederation. Lieutenant William Harwar Parker, CSN, class 1848, and instructor at USNA, joined the Virginia State Navy, and later became superintendent of the Confederate Navy Academy. Lieutenant Charles "Savez" Read may have been the "anchor man" (final pass) in the 1860 class, but later service to the Confederate Navy included maintaining New Orleans, the service on CSS Arkansas and CSS Florida , and the command of a series of captured Union ships culminating in the capture of the Caleb Cushing US Cutter in Portland, Maine. Lieutenant James Iredell Waddell, CSN, former instructor at the US Naval Academy, ordered CSS Shenandoah . The first inspector of the United States Naval Observatory, advocating the formation of the United States Naval Academy, after whom Maury Hall was named, also served in the Navy of the State Confederation.
The midshipmen and faculty returned to Annapolis in the summer of 1865, just after the war ended.
From Civil War to World War I
The civil war hero, Admiral David Dixon Porter became a supervisor in 1865. He found the infrastructure in Annapolis a mess, due to poor military use during the War. Porter tried to restore the facility. He concentrated on recruiting naval officers as opposed to civilians, changing philosophy. He recruited teachers Stephen B. Luce, future admirals, Winfield Scott Schley, George Dewey, and William T. Sampson. He returned Professor Lockwood. The fighting battalion consists of four companies. It is bunked in a single wooden building containing 100 rooms, one firm to the second floor. They held a parade of dresses every night except Sunday. Students are called "cadets", although sometimes "cadets are cadets"; other applications used. Porter began to organize athletics, usually intramural at the time.
Antoine Joseph Corbesier immigrated from Belgium and was appointed to the Swordmaster position at USNA in October 1865. He trained Navy fencing in the inter-1867 and 1914 races.

Porter made sure the space continued for expansion by overseeing the purchase of 113 acres (46 ha) at College Creek, which became known as the hospital point.
In 1871, the color competition began, along with the color company selection, and a "girl of color."
In the 1870s, military budget cuts resulted in much smaller graduate classes. In 1872, 25 graduated. Eight of these make the Navy a career. The third class physically faded the fourth class so cruel that Congress passed the anti-haze law in 1874. Hazing continued in a more hidden form.
John H. Conyers of South Carolina was the first black man to be accepted on 21 September 1872. Upon his arrival, he became a victim of severe and ongoing hazing, including verbal abuse, and beatings. His classmates even tried to drown him. Three cadets were dismissed as a result, but harassment, including ostracism, continued in a more subtle form and Conyers finally resigned in October 1873.
In 1875, Albert A. Michelson, class of 1873, returned to teaching. He started his experiments with optics and light physics, which produced the first accurate measure of the speed of light.
In 1874, the curriculum was changed to study navy topics in the last two years at the academy. In 1878, the academy was awarded the gold medal for academics at the Universal Exhibition in Paris.
The Spanish-American War of 1898 greatly increased the importance of the academy and the campus was almost entirely rebuilt and enlarged between 1899 and 1906. Today's campus dates from that era. Before that era, about 43 people entered each year. There are 114 joining classes 1905, 201 with class of 1908.
On August 23, 1911, Navy officers on flight assignments in Hammondsport, New York, and Dayton, Ohio, were ordered to report for duty at the Technical Trials Station, Naval Academy, "in connection with gasoline motor tests and other experimental work. flights, including flight instruction at the school "established at Greenbury Point, Annapolis. Naval aviation training was transferred to NAS Pensacola, Florida, in January 1914.

Ranking structure
The student body is known as the Brigade of the Midshipmen. Students attending the US Naval Academy are appointed as midfielders and serve in active duty in the rankings. "Navy members of the Naval Academy are classified as line officers, but only officers in a competent sense, they are under the chief commander."
By law, the midshipmen are a special class of officers who rank above the most senior class (E-9) and below the lowest level of the warrant officer (W-2) in the Navy and Coast Guard (Navy and Coast Guard stop officer rank warrant, WO-1, in 1975). In addition, the midshipmen rank below the warrant officer (W-1) in the Marine and Army Corps, and under the second lieutenant (O-1) in the Air Force (the Air Force stopped appointing the warrant officer in 1959 and the latter WO USAF died in 2008).
Midshipmen are classified not as freshmen, second year, junior, and senior, but as fourth class, third, second and first class, respectively.
An incoming class member - fourth grade, lowest rank of midshipmen - also known as "plebe" (plural plebes ). Since the first year in the Academy is one of the transformations of a civilian into an army officer, children must abide by some rules and regulations that are not placed on their senior - three upper middle classes - and have additional duties and responsibilities. lost during promotion to third grade.
The third-class Midshipman has been assimilated into the brigade and treated with more respect because they are seniors. They are generally called "young people." Because of their new stature and rank, teenagers are allowed to have the privilege of watching television, listening to music, watching movies, and taking naps.
The second-class Midshipman is charged with plebes training. They report directly to the first class, and issue orders as necessary to carry out their responsibilities. Second class midshipmen are allowed to drive their own car (but may not park them on campus) and are allowed to enter or exit the Yard (campus) in civilian clothing (weekend only).
First-class midshipmen have more freedom and freedom in the brigade. While they must participate in compulsory sports and military activities and maintain academic standards, they are also charged with Brigade leadership. They are usually called "firsties". Firsties are allowed to park their cars on campus and have the right to leave and freedom greater than any other class.
The Brigade is divided into two regiments of three battalions each. Five companies formed each battalion, with a total of 30 companies. The midshipman's command structure was led by a first-class knight known as brigade commander, chosen for outstanding leadership performance. He is responsible for many of the daily activities of the brigade as well as the professional training of the midshipmen. Keep an eye on all brigade activities is the commander of the midshipmen, active duty Navy captain or Marine Corps colonel. Work for commanders, Navy officers and experienced Marine Corps assigned as corporate officers and battalions.
Uniform
Midshipmen at the Academy wear service uniforms similar to US Naval officers, with shoulder badges and/or arms varying according to school year or rank of army officer. All wear golden anchor badges in both collar jacket blue collar service clothes. Shoulder board, worn in white summer, full service/white dress, and white dinner uniforms as well as a version of "soft shoulder boards" on a white shirt, full-service blue dress button-ups have a golden anchor and a number of slashes indicating the year , except for first class one-class ones having one, horizontal line soldiers and officers (as well as first class), whose shoulder boards have small gold stars in the anchor and have 1 to 6 horizontal lines indicating their position.
In a winter and summer work uniform shirt, a new student (Midshipman Fourth Class or "plebe") does not wear a collar badge, a second-degree student (Midshipman Third Class or "Youngster") uses a single dirty anchor at the right collar point, a Junior (Midshipman Second Class) pollutes the anchors on every collar point, and a Senior (Midshipman First Class or "Firstie") wears a dirty anchor with a perching eagle. The first-class Midbighter in billet officers replaced the devices with their own officer officer's kerelelian badges.
The veteran warrior officer was a string of gold bars, from the Ensign Midshipman rank (one bar or stripe) to the Midshipman Captain (six bars or lines) in Central Brigade at the US Naval Academy.
Depending on the season, the midshipmen wear Summer Whites or Service Dress Blues as their clothing uniforms, and summer blues or winter blues work as their daily class uniforms. In 2008, first-class knights wore khaki service as a daily uniform, but this option was revoked after the 2011 class graduation. First class can use their service selection uniform on Friday second semester (ie, naval and naval aviators). selected aircraft wearing flight clothes; knees and war surface warriors wearing shirts or Navy Work Uniforms with their new command balls, selected Marine Corps using the MARPAT camouflage utility). Unique uniforms consisting of a navy blue double-breasted jacket with brass and high-collar buttons, blue or white pants (white worn during Graduation Week), and a duty belt with a NA silver buckle, are worn for formal parade during spring and parade season autumn.
During the commissioning week (formerly known as "June week"), the uniform is white summer.

The civil professors almost all have PhD degrees and can be granted proprietary rights, usually after the promotion of an assistant professor to associate professors. Less than military instructors have PhDs but almost all have master's degrees. Most of them are assigned to the Academy for only two or three years. In addition, there are additional professors, hired to fill a temporary shortage in various disciplines. The Ajun Professors are not eligible for term of office.
- Permanent Military Professor (PMP)
A small number of officers at the Academy are designated as Permanent Military Professor (PMP), initially at the Assistant Professor's academic rank.

Like civil professors, they seek academic promotion to the rank of Associate Professor and Professor. However, they are not eligible for ownership.
- Distinguished Visiting Professorships
Class of 1957 Distinguished Chair of Naval Heritage is an academic professorial chair in the Department of History. To preserve and promote a better understanding of the professional naval heritage in the caste at the US Naval Academy, the Academy Class of 1957 donated funds to bless this position permanently. It is designed to be a visiting position for a renowned senior academic historian, who will hold the post for a year or two. This position was first occupied in 2006 and, in addition to teaching requirements, residents are expected to deliver McMullen Seapower Lectures at the biennial McMullen Naval Symposium Academy.

The appointment process
With a Congressional Act passed in 1903, two parliamentary appointments are permitted for every senator, representative and delegate in Congress, two for the District of Columbia, and five each year in general. Currently every member of Congress and Vice President can have five appointed persons attending the Naval Academy at any time. When there are graduates who are appointed or leave the academy, vacancies will be made. Candidates are nominated by their senators, representatives, or delegates in Congress, and those appointed are generally nominated by the Vice President. The applicants should not know their congressman to be nominated. Members of Congress generally nominate ten people per vacancy. They can nominate people competitively, or they can have a major nomination. In competitive nominations, all ten applicants are reviewed by the academy, to see who is most qualified. If a congressman appoints a primary candidate, then as long as the candidate is physically, medically and academically found to be eligible by the academy, he or she will be accepted, even if there are more qualified applicants. The degree of difficulty in obtaining a nomination varies greatly according to the number of applicants in a particular country. The process of obtaining a nomination usually consists of completing the application, completing one or more essays, and obtaining one or more letters of recommendation and often requiring interviews either directly or via telephone. These requirements are established by the senator or congressman respectively and are in addition to the USNA application.
The Secretary of the Navy may appoint 170 registered members of the Regular Navy and Navy and Marine Corps to the Naval Academy each year. Additional sources of appointment open to children of career military personnel (100 per year); and 65 appointments are available for children of military personnel killed in action, or 100% handicapped due to injuries received in action, or currently prisoners of war or lost in action. Usually five to ten candidates are nominated for each appointment, which is usually given on a competitive basis; candidates who do not receive the appointments they compete may still be accepted at the Academy as a quality alternative. If a candidate is deemed eligible but not taken, they may receive an indirect admission to the Naval Academy Foundation prep school or Naval Academy Preparation School in Newport; the following year, the candidate is enrolled in a Marine Reserve (or, in the case of a previously enlisted member, remains in the Navy) and qualifies for the Navy's Secretary of Navy nomination, which is granted as a matter of course. To receive an appointment to the Naval Academy, students at the Naval Academy Preparation School must first graduate with 2.2 QPA (Mixed GPA and Fitness Rating), although this is unacceptable. A candidate must receive a recommendation for appointment from the Command Officer. The appointment process has been criticized as giving preferential treatment to athletes.
However, the children of Medal of Honor recipients are automatically assigned to the Naval Academy; they only need to meet the admission requirements.
Reception requirements
In order to be accepted, candidates must be between the ages of seventeen and twenty-three years of admission, unmarried without children, and have good moral character. Current processes include college applications, personality testing, standard testing, and personal references. Candidates for admission must also undergo a physical aptitude test (CFA or a Fitness Assessment Candidate (previously Physical Preparedness Check)) as well as a complete physical examination including a separate visual acuity test to qualify for the appointment. Medical exclusions will be automatically searched on behalf of candidates with less than 20/20 vision, as well as various other injuries or illnesses. Physical talent tests are most often managed by high school physical education teachers or sports team coaches.
A small number of international students, usually from smaller allied or friendly countries, are welcome in each class. (International students from larger allies, such as France and Britain, usually come as short-term exchange students from their national naval academy or academy.) Class 2018 includes 13 international students from: Cambodia (1), Cameroon (2), Country (1), Montenegro (1), Nigeria (1), Senegal (1), Taiwan (1), and the United Arab Emirates (1).
Curriculum
The Naval Academy received accreditation as a "technological institute" approved in 1930. In 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt signed a law of congress action to grant a Bachelor of Science degree to Naval Academy, Military, and Coast Guard. Class 1933 was the first to receive this title and write it in a diploma. In 1937, an act of Congress extended to the Navy Inspector's Academy of authority to grant a Bachelor of Science degree to all living graduates. The Academy then replaces the fixed curriculum taken by all crews with the current core curriculum plus 22 major areas of study.
Academy departments at the Naval Academy are organized into three divisions: Engineering and Weapon, known as Division I, Mathematics and Science, known as Division II, and Humanities and Social Sciences, known as Division III.
Moral education
Moral and ethical development is essential to all aspects of the Naval Academy. From the Summer Plebe through graduation, the Officer Development Program, a four-year integrated program, focuses on integrity, honor, and mutual respect based on moral values ​​honoring human dignity, respecting honesty and respecting the property of others.
One of the goals of this program is to develop midshipmen to have a sense of their own moral beliefs and the ability to express them. Honor is emphasized through the Honorary Brigade Concept of the Midshipmen, which states:
The middle is people who have integrity: They defend what is right.
They say the truth and ensure full truth is known. They do not lie.
They embrace justice in all actions. They ensure that the work they are entitled to belong to them is theirs, and the assistance received from any source is authorized and properly documented. They do not cheat.
They respect the properties of others and ensure that others can benefit from the use of their own property. They do not steal.
Similar ideals are expressed in the honor code of other service academies. However, friends are allowed to deal with someone they see violating the code without formally reporting it. It is believed that this method is a better way to develop the honor of the midshipmen than the non-tolerance clause of other service academies and is a better way to build honor and trust.
The Honorary Brigade Committee of the upper middle class is responsible for the education and training of the Honorable Concept. Depending on the severity of the offense, the midshipers found violated the Honorable Concept by their peers can be separated from the Naval Academy.
Since 1961, the Academy has hosted the annual Navy Academy's Annual Summit (NAFAC), the undergraduate conference, the country's largest foreign affairs. NAFAC provides a forum to address urgent international issues and seeks to explore current issues from both a civilian and military point of view.
Each year a unique theme is chosen for NAFAC. Disgraceful individuals with expertise in relevant fields are then invited to speak to conference delegates, representing civil and military academies from across the United States and around the world.
The entire conference is organized and run by the midshipmen, who also serve as moderators, presenters, and delegates. The director of the cadets is responsible for every aspect of the conference, including the theme of the conference, and is usually assigned a staff lead of over 250 people.
The Conference of Naval Academy of Science and Engineering (NASEC), held annually since 2000, is an undergraduate STEM conference. Held in November each year, some 45 fighters join 150 participants from other universities and universities across the country to meet and discuss significant science and engineering challenges. Delegates heard from leaders in scientific and policy research from academia, industry and government, and participated in group discussions on the theme of the conference.
The conference serves both as a leadership opportunity for the midshipmen staff to organize and run the event, and as a place to expose middle men to advanced science and engineering challenges.
Since 1973, the Naval Academy has hosted major international conferences for naval historians. In 2006 named after Dr. John J. McMullen, USNA Class of 1940.
Small Satellite Program
The US Naval Academy (USNA) (CNS) Small Satellite Program was established in 1999 to actively pursue aviation opportunities for miniature satellites designed, built, tested and ordered or controlled by midshipmen.
The first satellite USNA MidSTAR Program, MidSTAR I was launched March 8, 2007. The planned Midstad II was canceled.
Postgraduate study
Since the majority of graduates start directly to their military commissions, the Naval Academy does not offer a degree program. However, a number of programs allow cadets to earn a bachelor's degree before fulfilling their service obligations. The Direct Postgraduate Education Program (IGEP) enables newly assigned Ensigns or Lieutenant Two to proceed directly to graduate school and complete a master's degree. The Voluntary Graduate Education Program (VGEP) allows the midfielder to begin his second year of senior year studies at a local university, usually the University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University, Georgetown University, or George Washington University, and completes his degree with the following semester. Youth are accepted into prestigious scholarships, such as Rhodes Scholarships allowed to complete their studies before fulfilling their service obligations. Finally, the Bowman Scholarship allows Nuclear Navy candidates to complete a master's degree at the Navy Graduate School before proceeding to the Navy.
Student activity
Athletics
Participation in athletics is, in general, mandatory at the Naval Academy and most of the fighters not on inter-college teams must participate actively in intramural or club sports. There are exceptions to non-athletic Brigade Support Activities such as YP Squadron (a professional surface warfare training activity that gives crew the opportunity to get a Craftmaster Badge) or Drum and Bugle Corps.
Varsity-letter winners wear a blue cardigan that is issued specifically with a large "N" gold patch affixed. The team that defeated the Army in a year was given a gold star to stick next to "N" for each of the victories.
The US Naval Academy sports team does not have an official name but is usually referred to in the media as "The Midshipmen" (as all athletes, in fact, midshipmen), or more informally as "the Mids". The term "middies" is generally considered insulting. The sports team mascot is a goat named "Bill."
The Midshipmen participated in the FBS NCAA Division I as a member of the American Athletic Conference in football and at the NCAA Division I-level Patriot League in many other sports. The Academy has 30 university sports teams and 13 sports clubs (along with 19 intramural sports teams).
The most important sporting event in the academy is the annual Navy Army Match, in football. The 2015 season marks 14 consecutive wins of the Army's Armed Forces. The three main service academies (Navy, Air Force and Army) competed for the Supreme Commander trophy, awarded to the academy that defeated the others in football that year (or maintained by the previous winners in the event of a three-way tie). The Navy won the trophy in 2012 after two years living at the Air Force Academy. Keenan Reynolds (quarterback 2012-2015) arranges many Navy and NCAA records, including the FBS career touchdown record, arguably the best naval quarterback ever. Reynolds finished fifth in the prestigious Heisman Trophy election. In the Navy-Navy rivalry, Reynolds became the first quarterback to defeat the Army in four seasons.
The Navy Academy sports team has many achievements at international and national levels. In 1926, the Navy football team won a US national championship based on the poll system of Boand and Houlgate. and the Navy men's lacrosse team won 21 USILLA or USILA championships and was the NCAA I Division champion in 1975 and 2004. The men's team won the NCAA I Division championships in 1950, 1959, and 1962 and became runners-up in 1948, 1953, 1960, and 1963, and the NCAA I Division championship was also obtained by an athletic team and an outside field team in 1945 as well as a men's soccer team in 1964.
The lightweight crew of the Academy won the 2004 National Championships. The lightweights were accredited with two Jope Cup Championships as well, finishing East Sprint with the highest number of points in 2006 and 2007. The college heavyweight crew won the Olympic gold medal in eight men in 1920 and 1952, and 1907-1995 at Intercollegiate Rowing Team Screen Association won 30 championships. In an antarkolegal shooting, the Naval Academy has won nine national Rifle Association trophies, seven air gun team championships, and five standard team gun pistols. The Navy squash team is the national team champion of nine people
