Welcome Onboard!
EXERCISE ATLANTIC ENDEAVOUR (LANTPAT 2015)
1.
Background. The United States Naval Academy (USNA) uses the summer period to deliver
varied training programs in support of the professional development of the Brigade of Midshipmen.
For Block 1, you have been assigned to Atlantic Professional Afloat Training (LANTPAT). This period
enables Yard Patrol Craft (YP) operations to take place over an extended duration and Squadrons are
deployed away from Annapolis for up to fourteen days at any one time. During Block 1 we will transit
as far North as Boston and New York City!
2.
Mission Aim. To train Midshipmen underway in a realistic seagoing environment, enhancing
the key maritime skills of Seamanship, Navigation and Leadership. LANTPAT is divided into three
distinct Phases. Phase 1 will primarily be shore based in the classroom, simulator and alongside
before moving to a range of in-area underway exercises during Phase 2. Prior to deploying for Phase
3, an Out of Area (OOA) Assessment will be conducted onboard each Craft.
4.
Objectives. The Mission Aim will be achieved by providing challenging leadership and
technically demanding team roles for Midshipmen across each of the key watch keeping and
Squadron Staff positions. Prior to departing the Severn River OPAREA a consolidated and wellresourced training package will be delivered to best prepare each Midshipman for the challenges of
sustained out of area operations. This includes navigation, seamanship, marine engineering, sea
survival and damage control training. We will undertake a varied range of advanced exercises to
provide you with an valuable introduction to basic naval warfare skills that will include tactical
manoeuvres and operating with live aircraft.
5.
Initial Muster Point. All personnel are to muster in the Luce Hall Planetarium at 0745 on Tue
26 May 15. Please ensure that you bring a notebook and pen. After an initial welcome brief, you will
be divided into four separate crews of approximately 30 Midshipmen for each Craft.

My team will make every effort to train you to the highest standards using a variety of worldclass resources. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any further questions or
