Spencer S. Wood
Rear Admiral Spencer Shepard Wood (7 August 1861 – 30 July 1940) was a United States Navy officer. His career included service in the Spanish–American War and World War I, command of battleships and cruisers, and duty as an aide to a number of senior naval leaders.
==Early life==
Wood was born in Brooklyn, New York, on 7 August 1861. His family moved to New York City – politically separate from Brooklyn at the time – while he was an infant, and he lived there until the age of 11. He then moved with his grandparents to Flushing, New York, where he attended the Flushing Institute.〔Hamersly, p. 293.〕
In June 1877, Wood applied to take the competitive examination for admission to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, but was turned away for being too young. In 1878, he was appointed to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, from the 1st Congressional District of New York by Congressman James W. Covert. He passed the entrance examination and entered the Naval Academy as a cadet midshipman on 28 June 1878.〔Hamersly, p. 293.〕〔(Naval History and Heritage Command: Officers of the Continental and U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, 1775-1900. )〕
