America, June 15, 2010.
http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/education/US-Naval-Officers-Face-Grueling-Curriculum-96374854.html

My comment:
(a) Severn River (Maryland)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severn_River_(Maryland)
(the river enters the Chesapeake Bay at the major port city of Annapolis)

(b) Annapolis, Maryland
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annapolis,_Maryland
(capital of Maryland, as well as the county seat of Anne Arundel County; the
place was once called Anne Arundel's Towne, but re-named in 1694, when
capital of Maryland was moved there, as Annapolis after Princess Anne, soon
to be the Queen of Great Britain whose reign was 1702-1707)

* Anne Arundell
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Arundell
(wife of Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, the founder of the Province
of Maryland colony. Anne Arundel County in Maryland, USA, was named for her)

Note: Her maiden name, Arundell, had two L's, but the county somehow dropped
one L, when named after her.

(d) United States Naval Aviator
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Naval_Aviator
(section 3.1 Introductory Flight Screening (IFS): "IFS is the first step to
becoming a Naval Aviator. All new flight school students first enroll in a
civilian flight school (normally near NAS Pensacola) for 13 (previously 25)
hours of flight training in small general aviation aircraft")

* Naval Air Station Pensacola
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Air_Station_Pensacola
("The Cradle of Naval Aviation")

(e) The above report is translated:

James Donegan).
