54th Deck

Deck Number of the USS Devastator Main Body

-

Part of the 54th Deck is the Navy famous “Midshipman Country”. No other regular ship of the line ship takes on more 3rd Year Cadets (Midshipmen) then the USS Devastator. (Until the USS Dominator is put into Service) and except for dedicated Academy Ships, no other ship has a dedicated Midshipman Section with Instructors. Most facilities on Deck 54 are for training purposes. With Gyms, Combat training facilities, Ship and bridge simulators. Damage Control simulations, Intruder Containment etc. Having been on Deck 54 is the “real” elite Academy and not Newport. Cadets and Midshipmen that graduate from the Devi are in general the finest and best officers (out of merit and dedication not arrogance and elitism.) Some of the famous Officers were : Captain Zezz, Admiral Webb Stokes and of course the famous Olafson Gang with all 10 members becoming legends of their own. Third Year Devi Graduates are allowed to wear the 54th Deck Ribbon in their display, and it is one of the rarest and most revered ribbons.
