Annapolis, Maryland
The United States Naval Academy was founded in 1845 on the site of Fort Severn, and now occupies an area of land reclaimed from the Severn River next to the Chesapeake Bay. The Annapolis area was the home of a VLF-transmitter called NSS Annapolis, which was used by the United States Navy to communicate with its Atlantic submarine fleet. Students that attend the Naval Academy are enrolled in school for four years with a following five year commitment to serving in the Marine Corps or Navy. There is a typical average of around 4,500 students enrolled.
Nakhimov Naval Academy (Sevastopol)
The institute was created on August 19, 1992 on the resolution of the Cabinet of Ukraine as the Sevastopol Naval Institute of Nakhimov. It was created in the basis of both the Black Sea Red Banner Higher Naval Institute "Admiral Pavel Nakhimov" and the Higher Naval Engineer Institute of Sevastopol. In 2009 the naval institute was renamed to the Nakhimov Naval Academy. Since 2014, due to the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, some institute's faculty and student were transferred to Odessa continuing their education at the Naval Faculty of the Odessa National Maritime Academy (Maritime College of Technical Fleet).
