Naval Academy Ship Selection: Class Of 2022 To Choose Where They'll Serve After Graduation
Midshipmen in the class of 2022 will soon pick which vessel they'll serve on after they graduate from the Naval Academy.
ANNAPOLIS, MD — The U.S. Naval Academy will host its annual Ship Selection Night on Thursday.
At the event, about 280 midshipmen in the class of 2022 will choose which vessel they'll serve on after Commissioning Week. The midshipmen make their selections based on their preferred type of vessel and its homeport.
Midshipmen make their picks by their order of merit. They can only choose from the vessels remaining on the board when it's their turn.

Ship Selection Night is only open to invited guests.
