Naval Academy staff recently noticed something odd about signs posted around campus in their museum, admissions office, and even near their Superintendent's residence.
Naval Academy staff quickly removed the signs but acknowledged that they haven't yet found all of them.
"Fake #MidshipersonFacts signs were placed around the United States Naval Academy. We are conducting a thorough search to remove all unauthorized signs throughout campus." said Captain George Edward Lang Jr., Chief of Staff of the United States Naval Academy.
Academy officials had to take to Facebook to clear up confusion among new midshipmen unfamiliar with the actual history of the Naval Academy.
Later, Academy officials took to Twitter to encourage fans of the Naval Academy to share their own facts using the hashtag #midshipersonfacts
The Naval Academy Superintendent, Vice Admiral Walter "Ted" Carter Jr., did weigh in on the controversy.
Naval Academy officials plan to investigate how such an incident occurred and early indications suggest that the owner of www.midshiperson.com is involved.
