United States Coast Guard Academy. The United States Coast Guard Academy sets on the Thames River in New London and provides a four-year Bachelor of Science program that annually commissions around 175 ensigns each May. The Academy is the oldest life-saving service in the world. It began with the School of Instruction for the Revenue Marine in 1876 and became the Academy we know today in 1915 with the merger of the Life Saving Service and Revenue Cutter Service. In 1932 it was moved to its present location.
