Hispanics in the United States Naval Academy account for the largest minority group in the institution. According to the Academy, the Class of 2009 includes 271 (22.2%) minority midshipmen. Out of these 271 midshipmen, 115 are of Hispanic heritage. In 2004, of the total of 736 female midshipmen, 74 (10%) of them were of Hispanic descent. The United States Navy has implemented a recruitment program directed towards this group, ''El Navy,'' whose principal aim is to attract those who speak Spanish.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 El Navy )〕 ==First Hispanic-American alumni of the Academy== The United States Naval Academy (USNA), founded 1845, is an institution for the undergraduate education of officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 United States Naval Academy )〕 The first Hispanic-American to graduate from the academy was Commodore Robert F.
