Three sailors were executed by hanging at sea, including teenage son of a sitting secretary of war, forcing Navy to professionalize training
The Naval School was founded in Annapolis, Maryland in the wake of a shocking scandal at sea on this day in history, Oct. 10, 1845.
The renowned military institute was renamed the U.S. Naval Academy in 1850.
The school was established following the discovery of a planned mutiny on the Atlantic Ocean aboard U.S. Navy brig Somers.
Three sailors were executed on the high seas — including the 19-year-old son of Secretary of War John Canfield Spencer, which only elevated the national profile of the sensational incident.
