| Info | Admiral William Crowe
Admiral Crowe has lived a storied life of service to our nation. Warrior, diplomat, nuclear engineer, doctorate in politics; Admiral Crowe is a true "Renaissance Man." He has held the highest position in our military, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and has been an ambassador to our closest ally, Great Britain.
Admiral Crowe was marked for success early in life. He was the assistant naval aide to President Eisenhower from 1954 to 1955, and went on to command Trout, and Submarine Division 31. He served in Vietnam as the senior naval advisor to the Vietnamese Navy Riverine Force, and then began his historic ascent to the pinnacle of U.S. military power. He attained the world?s top operational command, Commander in Chief, U.S. Pacific Command, and then became President Ronald Reagan?s top military advisor, as Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff.
After retiring from the military, Admiral Crowe took a position at the University of Oklahoma as a professor of geopolitics. He heeded the call to service again in 1993 when he headed the President?s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, and served as Ambassador to the Court of St. James?s from 1994-1997.
He is chairman of the board of advisors of Global Options, a crisis management firm based in Washington, DC, and he still continues to serve our nation, in a variety of capacities.
He has continued to give back to the Naval Academy, and has returned to Annapolis as the Olin Fellow in the political science department at the Naval Academy. This top military leader and statesman brings all his knowledge and experience to the Yard to teach midshipmen as he was taught more than 50 years ago.
