The U.S.
Naval Academy (USNA) is located in Annapolis, Maryland on the
banks of the Severn River and on the shores of the Chesapeake
Bay. Annapolis is located in Anne Arundel County. This is a
high cost of living area, primarily due to the high cost of
housing. The history of this lovely town dates back to the
beginnings of our nation and it is a beautiful setting for the
Academy. The Annapolis Area Naval Complex is composed of the
U.S. Naval Academy, Naval Support Activity Annapolis, and
other tenant commands.
The USNA current curriculum consists of four consecutive years
at Annapolis with at-sea training during the summer. Eighteen
academic majors are offered which lead to a Bachelor of
Science degree for all graduates. The base operator's phone
number is 410-293-1000 or DSN 312-281-1000.
History
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 paralleled 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 capable of
supporting supersonic aircraft, the Academy has changed as
well.
In 1850, the Naval School became the United States Naval
Academy. A new curriculum went into effect requiring
midshipmen to study at the Academy for four years and to train
aboard ships each summer. Congress authorized the Naval
Academy to begin awarding a Bachelor of Science degree in
1933.
The Naval Academy first accepted women as midshipmen in 1976,
when Congress authorized the admission of women to all of the
service academies. Women comprise about 13 to 14 percent of
entering plebes and they pursue the same academic and
professional training as do their male classmates.
Mission
The mission of the USNA is to prepare midshipmen morally,
mentally, and physically to be professional officers in the
Naval Service.
Naval Support Activity (NSA) Annapolis is located across the
Severn River from the Naval Academy. Its mission is to provide
material, personnel and service support to the Naval Academy
by maintaining small craft, equipment and facilities for
midshipmen training, and by providing logistical support to
the Naval Academy in its midshipmen professional development
program.
Population Served
The population served includes the entire student body of
midshipmen and the tenant commands. The Academy is a 338-acre
complex with a brigade of 4,000 midshipmen, and 580 faculty
members (military and civilian).
Base Transportation
Currently, there is no base transportation on this
installation.
Sponsorship

you with your transition. You may also use the Sponsor
Assignment Aid (SSA) web site. The SAA e-mails your request

sponsor coordinator, who will assign a sponsor based upon the
information you provide.

depending on projected availability. Call 410-293-3906 for
booking policies and requirements.
The Housing Welcome Center can also assist with on-base and
off-base housing.
Relocation Assistance
Since Annapolis is in the Baltimore-Washington DC corridor, it
is within a very high cost of living area. Service members and
families relocating to this area should keep this in mind when
planning for the move here. The financial assistance program
at your current installation can provide you with tips on
moving to a high cost of living area. Relocation Assistance is
available through the Fleet and Family Support Center and
provides the following types of services: Destination Area
Information, Relocation Counseling, Settling-in Services,
Information and Referral, Welcome Aboard Packets, and much
more.
Rental Partnership Program (RPP)
The RPP was established with various area rental agencies with
an agreement to charge military members a rent commensurate
with their BAH. In return, the military member agrees to have
rent deducted directly from pay through an allotment. This
program is designed to help defray the high cost of housing in
the Annapolis area. For more information contact the USNA
Housing Office at 1-800-421-1474. |
