" Thirty miles east of Washington, imposing white buildings
look out on the mouth of the Severn River at Annapolis,
Maryland. This is the United States Naval Academy where
4,000 midshipmen are in training to become officers in
the mightiest navy the world has ever known.

A line of sailboats is moored at the sea wall. On the
river, Academy yachts ride at anchor and Yard patrol
boats maneuver. The rhythmic tread of marching feet can
be heard as squads of midshipmen go to their classes.
Or the Naval Academy band fill the air as the entire
Brigade swings across Worden Field in dress parade. "
