The original section was constructed in 1917, and the second was built in 1968.\u00a0 In 1918, building N-25-A became the \u201cGeneral School,\u201d containing various schools including training courses for machinist\u2019s mates and metalsmiths.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>The Clendenin family was in attendance as well to honor their father and grandfather, Mr. William Allen (Al) Clendenin.\u00a0 Clendenin retired from active duty in June 1967 after 26 years of dedicated service and embarked on his civilian career in August 1967 as the senior learning evaluator for the Electronics School located in N-25. Upon retirement from civil service in August 1985, he was awarded the prestigious Navy Superior Civilian Service Award.\u00a0 On July 8, 1987, the Navy renamed N-25 as &#8220;Clendenin Hall&#8221; in honor of his many years of service to the Navy in the field of electronics and communication.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Today, the newly renovated 90,000 square foot building serves as home for SCSTC HR.\u00a0 Populated throughout the building are labs and classrooms supporting various training including Radar, Anti-Submarine Warfare, and Miniature\/Microminiature Electronics Repair.\u00a0 The facility also provides office space for personnel.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u201cWe are thrilled with the renovation but also appreciative of the historic significance of this building,\u201d said SCSTC HR\u2019s Commanding Officer, Capt. Riley Murdock.\u00a0 \u201cN-25 has been part of the training community since World War I and today, this facility will once again be utilized to train warfighters.\u201d<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Surface Combat Systems Training Command (SCSTC), headquartered in Dahlgren, Virginia, falls under the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), led by Rear Adm. Jeffrey Czerewko.\u00a0 SCSTC is a training organization that consists of 15 global learning sites and detachments.\u00a0 Its mission is to provide the U.S. Navy and our allies with highly trained warfighters to maintain, operate, and tactically employ surface combat systems across the spectrum of operations.\u00a0 Annually, SCSTC delivers training to over 37,000 U.S. Navy Sailors as well as international Sailors from 27 partner nations.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>For information about Surface Combat Systems Training Command, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netc.navy.mil\/SCSTC\">https:\/\/www.netc.navy.mil\/SCSTC<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Follow SCSTC on<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SurfaceCombatSystemsTrainingCommand\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SurfaceCombatSystemsTrainingCommand<\/a> \u00a0<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/scstc\/\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/scstc\/<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/scstc_hq\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/scstc_hq\/<\/a><br \/>\u00a0<br \/>The Hampton Roads Naval Museum provided the historical data regarding Naval Station Norfolk\u2019s Building N-25-A.\u00a0 To learn more about the museum, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.navy.mil\/hrnm\">https:\/\/www.history.navy.mil\/hrnm<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NORFOLK, Va. \u2013 Surface Combat Systems Training Command (SCSTC) Hampton Roads (HR) leadership held a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the official turnover of the newly renovated building N-25 onboard Naval Station Norfolk (NAVSTA Norfolk), Dec. 9. #cboxClose { position: absolute; top: 5px; right: 5px; display: block; background: url(\/desktopmodules\/articlecs\/images\/media_popup_close.png) no-repeat top center; width: 40px; height: [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":331676,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-331674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=331674"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331674\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":331677,"href":"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331674\/revisions\/331677"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/331676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=331674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=331674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=331674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
