Rear Adm. Carl Lahti remembers meeting Rear Adm. Grace Hopper as a plebe.

 

She gave a lecture at Mitscher Hall, during which she handed out pieces of nanowire, including to Lahti.

 

That was 34 years ago, Lahti said Thursday, as he stood in front of the Naval Academy's latest building.

 

"I would never believe today we would be dedicating a hall to her honor and her legacy," Lahti, commandant of the Naval District Washington, said.

 

Hopper Hall is the academy's new center for cybersecurity studies. Although the academy celebrated its ribbon cutting Thursday, the building has been open with students attending in-person classes since mid-September, according to an academy press release.

 

Hopper Hall represents the future of the Navy, Lahti said, adding that the building shows the commitment of the Navy to advancements in cybersecurity and cyber warfare. The midshipmen trained in the $143 million building could be asked to provide code patches to keep a ship on the network, as an example, Lahti said.

 

"We do not know what is going to come out of the heads of the midshipmen who are being trained here, but what it is going to be is great and glorious," he said.
