Wikipedia Description: Naval Academy Chapel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The United States Naval Academy Chapel is one of two houses of worship on the grounds of the Navy's service academy. The Naval Academy Chapel's cornerstone was laid in 1904 by Admiral George Dewey and the dedication of the Chapel was on May 28, 1908. The Naval Academy Chapel is a focal point of the Academy and the city of Annapolis, Maryland. The chapel is an important feature which led to the Academy being designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961.

In 1940 the Chapel underwent remodeling which doubled the seating capacity to 2,500 to accommodate a larger brigade of midshipmen. Until 1972, chapel attendance was compulsory. After remodeling, the chapel formed a large cross. The dome over the chapel is copper and the cupola is 200 feet (61 m) above the main altar area. The Chapel was featured on a postal service stamp in 1995. Protestant and Catholic services are held there.

The stained glass windows facing the altar are symbolic. One is of Sir Galahad holding his sheathed sword, portraying the ideals of the service. The other signifies the Commission Invisible, a beacon a new officer must follow; Christ is pointing him toward the flag. Four other windows are memorials to Secretary of Navy John Y. Mason, Admirals David Dixon Porter, David Farragut, and William T. Sampson.

Beneath the main chapel is the crypt of John Paul Jones. There is also a small chapel of St. Andrew which has been used for smaller weddings.

Traditionally, new third class midshipmen become "Youngsters" when they sight the chapel dome upon returning from their summer cruise.

John Paul Jones Crypt:

On January 26, 1913 the remains of John Paul Jones were interred in the crypt beneath the Chapel, inside a sarcophagus made of 21 short tons (19 t) of Grand Pyrenees marble.

In the deck around the crypt are inscribed the names of his ships: Bonhomme Richard, Alliance, Serapis, Ariel, Alfred, Providence, and Ranger.
