Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy

The superintendent of the United States Naval Academy is its commanding officer.

The officer appointed is, by tradition, a graduate of the United States Naval Academy.

The United States Naval Academy is organized much like a civilian college.

The superintendent's principal duties include overseeing a civilian Academic Dean, who manages the academic program and faculty, and the Commandant of Midshipmen, who serves as dean of students and supervisor of all military and professional training.
