An ode to the original Iron Men of old. In 1882 the Navy established a school under Chief Gunners Mate Jacob Anderson to teach diving (in 1882). Chief Anderson's two week course was the first designed solely to train divers.
Based in Newport, RI; the school trained divers to descend to a maximum depth of 60 feet to recover exercise torpedoes. The course of instruction was based solely on dress of the diver and underwater procedures. Things like decompression, DCS or AGE were years from being discovered. As the mission of the Navy Diver grew, so did the training and recognition of the program. HOOYAH "JAKE"!
