According
 to the USS IDAHO Commissioning Committee, Idaho has a long legacy of 
providing support to the U.S. Navy. During WWII, thousands of sailors 
trained at Naval Camp Farragut near Athol from 1942 - 1946. The 
University of Idaho provided radio operator training to sailors from 
1942- 1945, and the Navy has operated the Naval Acoustic Research 
Detachment in Bayview since 1955. 
The Idaho National Laboratory also provided 40,000 sailors with training on nuclear power plant operations from 1945 to 1995.
