This syndicated anthology series presented dramatisations based on the academic, athletic and extra-curricular lives of the Midshipmen attending Annapolis, the US Naval Academy in Maryland.
Produced by ZIV Television and filmed with the technical assistance of the actual USNA and the Department of Defense, the stories were sometimes humorous (such as kidnapping mascots) but usually featured the difficulties facing the men of Annapolis.
Viewers also gained insights into famous Naval Academy traditions and customs like the Ring Dance, the Victory Bells, Sob Sunday (the last Sunday prior to graduation), and the statue of Tecumseh (who the Midshipman regarded as the god of a 2.5 passing average).
Stories were narrated by Art Gilmore, and actors who featured in the 46 episodes included Doug McClure, Dean Stockwell, Robert Blake, Guy Williams, Dwayne Hickman, Ralph Reed, Lee Meriwether, Edd Byrnes, and Willis Bouchey.
