Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the remarkable story of Abbott Hall, a midshipmenââ â¢s school that trained over 20,000 naval officers during World War II. The author takes us inside this unique institution, detailing its growth from a humble beginning in 1940 to its status as a vital training ground for the US Navy. We meet Captain Benyaurd Bourne Wygant, the schoolââ â¢s commanding officer, a man of unwavering integrity and leadership who inspired unwavering loyalty in his students. The book explores the challenges faced by Abbott Hall, such as the lack of resources in the early years and the rapid expansion following the attack on Pearl Harbor. It also highlights the school's successes, its graduates going on to serve with distinction in all branches of naval warfare across the globe. The author provides a detailed account of the school's curriculum, its daily life, and the camaraderie forged among the midshipmen.
