Notable alumni from the Merchant Marine Academy?

I'm interested in attending the Merchant Marine Academy and would love to know more about their alumni. Have any of them had particularly successful or interesting careers after graduation?

The United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) has been home to a diverse group of graduates who have gone on to achieve notable success in various fields. The academy has a unique place as it prepares students for a career in the maritime industry, military service, and a variety of other professional paths. Here are a few notable alumni:
