    The Honoree pages for the Class of 1933 were greatly improved through the generous efforts of a woman who has no connections to the Naval Academy — but who has a copy of the 1953 edition of “Double Three Roundup,” published by the class. She found the entries of the men below and provided them to the site. Thank you!
