:In 1911, each midshipman was paid $600 a year, beginning with the date of his admission; and he must bind himself to serve in the United States Navy for eight years (including the years spent in the academy) unless he is discharged sooner. The course of instruction is for four years -- "final graduation" comes only after six years, the additional years being spent at sea -- and is in eleven departments: discipline, seamanship, ordnance an 1 gunnery, navigation, marine engineering and naval construction, mathematics and mechanics, physics and chemistry, electrical engineering, English, modern languages, naval hygiene and physiology. Vessels for practice work of midshipmen in the first, second, and third year classes are attached to the academy during the academic year, and from early in June to September of each year the midshipmen are engaged in practice cruises. |

== Suggestion to editors to add "Hopper Hall" to the buildings list == |

== Rape Statistics == |
|
|

|
|

Opened in 2020, Hopper Hall is the Academy’s newest and most state-of-the-art academic building on the Yard. The building is named for Rear Adm. Grace Hopper, an accomplished mathematician who joined the U.S. Navy Reserve during World War II. In her legacy, the Hopper Hall building will be home to midshipmen in the Cyber Operations; Computer Engineering; Computer Science; Electrical Engineering; Information Technology; and Robotics and Control Engineering majors, as well as to laboratories for Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering and Physics majors. ] (]) 17:12, 29 December 2022 (UTC) |

We need to include in this article rape statistics -- dont ask -- but if it's pertinent for the USAFA article than it should be in here -- unless we base all of our "encyclopedia" articles on newspaper articles... |
|
|
*Why should we have rape stats for the Naval Academy unless we have them for every other college described on here? |
|
|
**I concur. This would constitute a non-neutral viewpoint unless it is information we provide for all universities. The case of the Air Force Academy is different as the investigation and the depth of the problem has clearly become a part of the history of the institution. |

I look forward to being able soon to add well sourced information that the atmosphere at the Naval Academy has greatly improved but fail to see any basis for removing well sourced information regarding the current situation and past incidents. ] 14:40, 28 September 2005 (UTC) |

I corrected the sexual assault statistics. If we're including them, they may as well be correct. - A Midshipman 06 DEC 2005 |
|
|
|
|
|
Make a separate wiki for Academy issues to include sexual assault, honor, gays in the military, prayer, and athletics. These are issues that exist, but should not be included in the wiki about the school. Example: I do not see statistics for how many gays were reported, how many complaints about prayer were reported, or how many people were kicked for honor. Example: Other colleges experience more sexual assaults than any of the SAs, but I do not see statistics included on those pages. |

The "Graduates famous outside the Navy" should probably me merged with the the other notable graduates. Jimmy Carter certainly acheived his greatest notoriety oustide the Navy, yet is not in the outside the Navy group. John McCain is notable both for his naval service and his post-naval career. Only three astronauts among dozens graduated from the Academy are listed. One of the most well known USNA graduates, astronaut James Lovell is not listed. A deputy assistant cabinet secretary is listed, but 5 secretaries are not. The whole list needs to be rationalized in terms of who to include, and their organization. ] 06:26, 15 December 2005 (UTC) |

== Admissions == |
|
|
|
|
|
The USNA does admit non-americans. their website does indicate some sort of admissions process for internationals. |
|
|
|
|
|
*That's true. I've changed the article accordingly. A small number of international students (<20) are admitted each year. They tend to be from smaller allied/friendly countries that lack their own academies (e.g. Jamaica); "big" allies (e.g. France, Britain) tend to send exchange students from their own military education programs. The number and country of origin of international students is listed in the Class Profiles published by USNA (cited in note 1). ] 19:33, 5 May 2006 (UTC) |

|
*Here are the exact figures for the class of 2009, from the Class Profile: "The Class of 2009 also includes 11 international students from the following countries: Guyana (2), Honduras, Ireland, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritius, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand." ] 04:24, 6 May 2006 (UTC) |

== Croquet! == |
|
|
I found the previous depiction of the Navy's performance in the annual SJCA/Navy Croquet Match to be rather misleading, as it implied the Navy did something other than suck out loud, and so have rectified this with statistics showing quite clearly that the opposite is true. I wish the Middies good luck this spring; if the past is an indication, they will need it. ] 01:06, 18 February 2006 (UTC) |

As much as I am interested in reading the article, it has no references, and thus is unsuitable for good article status. There's nothing that can done to avoid the necessity of good references for good articles on Misplaced Pages. ]]<b>]</b> 05:51, 22 April 2006 (UTC) |

**They need to be formatted into a references section. ]]<b>]</b> 06:12, 22 April 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
*In reality a great deal of input to this article is firsthand knowledge by present and former Midshipmen which is often not easily documentable. Here's one example: I am certain that somewhere there is a document which lists the 36-to-30 company conversions supporting the point that 28th company, which supplies the USNA Croquet Team, used to be 34th company, but I guarantee you is is very obscure and not easily accessed. This is not to say that there should not be some supporting documentation, but do we have an acceptable format for citing firsthand knowledge possessed by individuals contributing to the article? I have written/rewritten major portions of this article, and I actually happen to be the guy who created the first unofficial Naval Academy homepage, which later became the official USNA homepage, and served as the Naval Academy's first Webmaster. The fact is that people like me with firsthand knowledge contribute to Misplaced Pages in special ways not equalled by other reference sources, and in ways not always easily documentable. ] 20:47, 28 April 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
*Ok, to some extent I'm inclined to agree with that but what about the things that can be documented like "The Commandant of Midshipmen is currently Capt. Bruce E. Grooms, USN, who replaced then Capt. Charles J. Leidig in June 2005. The Deputy Commandant of Midshipmen is Col. David C. Fuquea, USMC. The Command Master Chief of the United States Naval Academy is CNOCM(SW) Bernard B. Quibilan."? There was probably a press release or some sort of official Academey website report. That sort of statement surely has to be documentable. The problem I have with this article is that there doesn't seem to be even enough effort, let alone actual documentation.] 12:48, 26 May 2006 (UTC) |

:Well, it seems like it's an example of one of the sports traditions at the academy. (I fixed broken link #1). The article references 28th Company, so I can see leaving it in. If the article went on and on about 28th Company specific info, I can see removing it/spinning it off, but it doesn't. If you don't like it, maybe ''your'' company should start a memorable tradition!
