Most Navy people hear the word Annapolis and immediately think of the
Academy. But there's a second, a more secret Naval installation in Maryland's
capital that gets raves from the folks who are stationed there, and it's
this year's Navy Times Best Small Base - Annapolis Naval Station.
The base provides general support for operations at the Academy, but is
separate from the school itself. Adjacent to a wildlife sanctuary and across
the Severn River from the Academy, Annapolis NS is blessed with beautiful
green spaces and a friendly civilian employee population that acts like
family for the military stationed there, say our readers. Navy Times readers
gave it high marks for its recreational opportunities, military-civilian
community relations, and housing, and said it was a good place for both
families and singles. Proximity to the Academy, and all its resources and
the city pleasures of Washington, D.C., doesn't hurt, either.
