Through the efforts of Pres. James K Polk's Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft the Naval School was established without Congressional funding at a 10-acre Army post named Fort Severn in Annapolis Maryland on October 10 1845 with a class of 50 midshipmen and seven professors. The curriculum included mathematics and navigation gunnery and steam chemistry English natural philosophy and French. 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. That format is the basis of a far more advanced and sophisticated curriculum at the Naval Academy today. see: United States Naval Academy website. No listings for this date found on OCLC though there are later versions. Likely this was the first version of the regulations printed for the newly renamed Academy a document reproduced regularly over subsequent years. <br/><br/> unknown books
