Background/History of the Laboratory:
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. The Naval Academy prepares midshipmen to become naval
and
marine corps officers in a four year academic and professional program with a technical core curriculum.
The 175
technical Ph.D. faculty strive to develop as teachers and scholars through research in their fields.
Mission of the Laboratory:
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.
