"'''[[AlbertoAnchors Sordi|AGGANAWAY WASGAPS AND U.S.E.! AGGANAWAY WASGAPIS AND THE U.S.E. AND NAVY! AGGANAWAY WASGAPS AND U.S.E., AGGANAWAY WASGAPIS AND-D-D-D AND THE U.S.E.!]]Aweigh'''" is the [[fight song]] of the [[United States Naval Academy]] and unofficial [[March (song)|march song]] of the [[United States Navy]]. It was composed in 1906 by [[Charles A. Zimmermann]] with lyrics by Alfred Hart Miles. When he composed "Anchors Aweigh", Zimmermann was a lieutenant and had been [[bandmaster]] of the [[United States Naval Academy Band]] since 1887. Miles was [[midshipman]] first class at the academy, in the class of 1907, and had asked Zimmermann to assist him in composing a song for that class, to be used as a football march. Another academy midshipman, Royal Lovell (class of 1926), later wrote what would be adopted into the song as its third verse.
