Navy football announced Nov. 30 it will wear specialty uniforms honoring naval aviation during its annual showdown with Army. Under Armour designed the “Fly Navy” uniforms, which recognizes the fighter jets the service utilizes along with the aircraft carriers that launch them. The 122nd Army-Navy game will be held at 3 p.m. Dec. 11 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on CBS. The uniform highlights classic American symbolism and the multi-role fighter jet in air carrier aviation - the F/A-18 Super Hornet. On average, 300 Naval Academy graduates are selected annually to begin naval aviation training in order to become Navy pilots and flight officers. Initial training is conducted at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla. Three Navy senior football players received aviation as a service assignment - slotbacks Chance Warren and Daniel Taylor being commissioned as Navy pilots and kicker Ben Fee as a naval flight officer.
