Massachusetts Maritime Academy (MMA), a top-ranked public university with undergraduate degree programs focusing on science, engineering, technology, math, and business that blend academics and experiential learning, is proud to announce that a team of four cadets in the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) recently participated in SNAME Paper Night at MIT, taking 2nd place for a written overview of the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel (NSMV) TS Patriot State.
Cadets Jack Clasby of Marblehead, Matthew Fluke of Falmouth, Bridgette Boriolo of Linden, CA, and Taylor Lane of Roslindale were awarded for the preparation and presentation of their paper on the TS Patriot State which will replace the Academy’s training ship, the TS Kennedy. The new training ship is scheduled for delivery this year and will be docked at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy pier on Taylor’s Point.
The Student Paper Awards are conferred annually for papers presented at a meeting of SNAME, an internationally recognized society of individual members serving the maritime and offshore industries and their suppliers.
“Congratulations and bravo to Jack, Matthew, Bridgette, and Taylor for their award-winning submission on the TS Patriot State,” said Lieutenant Commander Roger Gill, Associate Professor and SNAME Student Advisor, extending appreciation to SNAME members Macarthur Dannelly of Crownsville, MD, Mario Monteiro of Brockton, and Luke Sacco of Uxbridge for their support.
