Members of the U.S. Naval Academy Dolphin Club man the controls aboard Naval Submarine School's Los Angeles-class crew trainer.
Eighteen members of the US Naval Academy’s (USNA) Dolphin Club visited Naval Submarine Base New London and General Dynamics Electric Boat to become more familiar with the submarine community.
The Dolphin Club is a voluntary, extracurricular activity at USNA for Midshipmen interested in a career path in submarines. The trip to Groton included a tour and briefing at Electric Boat and Submarine School trainers.
“Doing this gets us away from the Naval Academy atmosphere and more into seeing what the whole sub community is all about,” said LT. Tom Belchik, Dolphin Club Officer Rep.
During the visit, the Midshipmen also had an opportunity to have lunch and talk with Capt. Frank Lowery, Submarine Group Two Chief of Staff and Captain Paul McHale, Commanding Officer, Submarine School.
