Annapolis - USNA: Barry Gate

            The Commodore John Barry Gate, part of Barry Plaza, located at Prince George Street, was dedicated by the Ancient Order of Hibernians on January 6, 2012. John Barry (1745 –1803) was an Irish-born American naval officer who served at a captain in the Continental Navy during the American Revolutionary War, and was the first commissioned American naval officer, receiving his rank of Commodore from President George Washington in 1797 and serving in the Quasi-War. He has been credited by some as "The Father of the American Navy", sharing that moniker with John Paul Jones and John Adams.

The United States Naval Academy, the second oldest of the five U.S. service academies, was established in 1845 by Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft to educate midshipmen for service in the officer corps of the United States Navy and United States Marine Core.  Approximately 1,200 "plebes" enter the academy each summer.  About 1,000 midshipmen graduate and commission each year. The 338-acre campus, known as the "Yard," is located on the former grounds of Fort Severn, and is home to  many historic sites, buildings and monuments.
