New School for the Future…charged w/tech dominance! ⚓️🇺🇸

USNA will aggressively prepare to achieve technological dominance on the battlefield by establishing a dedicated school for Super Intelligence (SI), Information Warfare (IW), and Robotics & Autonomous Systems (RAS).

This concentrated focus is central to our Navy’s hedge strategy, ensuring our naval force maintains an unmatched combat edge in high-end future fights, where inexpensive, commercially available tech, coupled with Super Intelligence has fundamentally changed how modern militaries fight and win.

We will continue to rapidly integrate advanced technologies and innovate alongside our world-class faculty to equip Midshipmen with cutting-edge expertise in super intelligence, robotics and autonomous systems and information warfare.

Our adversaries are racing to dominate in this space…we must run faster!

Under inaugural Dean CAPT Mathias Roth, a true information warrior with decades of operational experience, Hopper Hall will become the academic centerpiece for commissioning the finest and most capable information warriors and tech-savvy leaders for the Navy and our Corps.

Football Program showcases USNA Shipbuilding & Naval Architecture…how many college football programs hit that target?!

Navy Football’s game program this Sat spotlighted something bigger than the game: our commitment to strengthening America’s maritime industrial base through shipbuilding, naval architecture, and academic innovation.

From summer shipyard internships with NAVSEA to interdisciplinary capstone projects and specialized courses in the History of Shipbuilding and Economics of National Defense, our midshipmen and world
class faculty are connecting classroom rigor to real-world fleet challenges.

Athletics and academics rowing together. Developing warfighters. Strengthening our fleet. Securing our nation’s defense. ⚓️⭐️🇺🇸

Thank you Dr. Samara Firebaugh, Professor Marcus Jones, Professor Brenda Boultwood, CAPT Li Sung, Permanent Military Professor, and all of our World Class faculty!

This summer, the Naval Academy selected five midshipmen to participate in its inaugural shipbuilding summer internship program that immersed rising first-class and second-class midshipmen in a multi-shipyard, multi-platform environment in both commercial shipyards and within Naval Sea Systems Command. Midshipmen not only gained exposure to the maritime industrial base and shipbuilding programs, but they also had the opportunity to conduct academic and operational research alongside experts in the field. During the internships, initial midshipmen research on a submarine concept design proved so impactful that their findings were accepted for presentation at a major industry conference. The midshipmen will build upon their internship experience by bringing forth their newly gained knowledge into their senior capstone projects.

Additionally, Professor Marcus Jones is developing a dedicated History of Shipbuilding course for the History Department while Professor Brenda Boultwood currently teaches a course titled the Economics of National Defense within the Economics Department. taken in United States Naval Academy by @usna_admissions

Great to spend the morning with Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations, and Environment Brendan Rogers ’90, a great Naval Academy graduate and partner, as we accelerate our vision for bringing advanced technology and autonomous systems to our Midshipmen.

Our high-performance computing cluster will give Midshipmen and Faculty access to significant GPU processing power, our drone port at Nimitz Hall will expand flight ops, our Hopper Hall Pier expansion will support UUVs and USVs, and major waterfront infrastructure upgrades will enable our YP-NEXT vision, using YP craft as motherships for autonomous air, surface, and subsurface systems.

Thank you Hon Rogers for helping us take our Vision into Action!

Forrestal w/Gen Donovan! 🔥

General Frank Donovan, Commander of U.S. Southern Command, joined us as our Forrestal Lecturer, sharing updates on SOUTHCOM ops, the importance of autonomous systems, and the leadership truth that engaging with your people remains the key to mission success.

For nearly 30 years, I have had the privilege of learning from and observing this outstanding leader. It is no surprise that SOUTHCOM is executing at a high tempo and with tremendous success.

Our Mids asked solid questions and General Donovan delivered the perfect finale: weekend liberty for the Brigade, all while proudly wearing his signature Forrestal gift: a Navy tracksuit.

Thank you, General Donovan, for your leadership, friendship, and investment in the next generation of warfighters.

Semper Fi & Go Navy 🇺🇸⚓️

A STAR FOR NAVY GOLF! ⭐️⚓️⛳️

Navy Men’s Golf took home the Star ⭐️ after beating Army at West Point this weekend! Great competition and another Star headed back to Annapolis.

Meanwhile, the Naval Academy hosted its inaugural home triathlon, the Navy Collegiate Cup, along with associated club and dual events, right here on the Yard. Our Mids showed grit and toughness after some bike falls in amphibious weather that didn’t keep ‘em down long.

Our Team fought with physicality in a Defensive fight against our Air Force teammates…it didn’t end as we expected.

Our team will continue to battle each week until the final whistle; signature Navy Football.

Great spending time with our Midshipmen on exchange at Air Force, our Spirit Team, Drum & Bugle Corps, Navy parents, and the many Navy fans who joined us at the tailgate. Always special seeing our Navy family come together on the road.

Next week, back in “The Most Patriotic Stadium in America“ 🇺🇸⚓️

ZOOMIE AMBUSH! 🚨⚡️🫡😂

Our exchange Zoomies were ambushed by Team Borgschulte last night as they attempted a not-so-well-planned prank at the Supe Quarters in an effort to “recon” our lawnmower.

Sneaky of them to enlist our son Ryker to assist, but they underestimated our boy. He went double agent and lured them straight into a good ol’ Marine Corps ambush… complete with gel guns, sirens, and zero chance of escape! 🔫🚨😂

After being captured, we showed our prisoners around the house, gave them the grand tour, and released them back into the wild. Hope the gel gun welts healed up warriors!

Rivalries rock! ⚓️🇺🇸

At the Edge…of Quantum technology. ⚓️🇬🇧🇺🇸

Honored to address the UK-US Quantum Security Forum at the Naval Academy this week alongside our USNA team of Pros!

Quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum communications and quantum security are no longer simply interesting scientific concepts confined to the lab. They are rapidly becoming areas of strategic competition…& strategic opportunity.

Our midshipmen will graduate into a world where artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, cyber, space and quantum technologies will increasingly intersect.

Building the infrastructure, partnerships, talent, and playbook to incorporate quantum capabilities into our future force must begin now and that is exactly what we are doing.

Stop being comfortable and Innovate…USNA’s aggressive attitude!
