As you drive on to campus you will see the T. S. Kennedy afloat in its dock. The cadets and staff that are going on sea term this year will have the pleasure of calling the ship home as they experience life at sea. Inside the ship, there is an assortment of different spaces available: a mess deck, cadet laundry, berthing for all of the cadets, library, gym, sick bay, classrooms, ship's store, barbershop and a galley. Many cadets like to hang out in the common areas of the ship such as; the seatorium, fantail, forward boat deck, and Helo deck.
The ship is a network of decks and space. Quite often, one will find a freshman wandering around looking for the right destination or for someone who can point them in the right direction. The schematics are hard to get used to at first, but within a few short days everyone knows them like the back of their hand.
