Stonington— Rear Adm. Michael McLaughlin, commander of Submarine Group Two, welcomed the visiting United States Naval Academy Offshore Sail Training Squadron during their brief stay in Stonington, June 24 to 27.

The squadron traversed 300 nautical miles from Annapolis, Md. on four Navy 44-foot sailboats crewed by midshipmen. The Stonington Harbor Yacht Club and local families hosted the midshipmen during their visit.

 “It was a wonderful opportunity to get to know these young men and women who will become future naval officers,” said Jane Hildreth, who sponsored two midshipmen. “My husband and I learned a lot about the U.S. Navy and look forward to sponsoring again next year.”
