Amityville, NY - (4 July 2006): Ltjg Forrest Woodward, Command Officer of the Liberty (AGTR-5) Division of the Naval Sea Cadet Corps is proud to annouce the joint adoption as sister units of the Newhaven and Seaford Sea Cadet Unit of Chapel Street, Newhaven, East Sussex, United Kingdom.
"I think that adopting the UK unit will be a great thing for our Division. We should broaden our horizons and get to know Sea Cadets from our countries closest ally.", said Petty Officer 3rd Class Christine Felicetti, age 16 who entering the 11th grade at school in County, New York.
The UK Sea Cadets adhere to similar values as do the US Naval Sea Cadets:
"The Sea Cadets is Britain’s most successful nautical organisation for the development of young people. Its founding premise was and remains '…to encourage valuable personal attributes and high standards of conduct, using a nautical theme based on the customs of the Royal Navy'. In an increasingly individualistic society, where the importance of teamwork and community is often overlooked, the Sea Cadets is a force for good; an organisation designed to promote personal development, social inclusion and citizenship amongst the country’s young people, whatever their background, race, creed or colour." From Naval Sea Cadets (UK)
"Creating relationships with other Naval Sea Cadets, especially internationally enables our young men and women to learn about, interact with, and understand that all the citizens of this planet are basically the same. Our language and customs might be different, but we share this planet, and we need to learn to live, work and care for the Earth together.", said LTjg Woodward.

The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) is a nationwide organization dedicated to helping American youth realize personal success and achievement through a nautically oriented training program. Through Sea Cadet leadership, young Americans ages 13 through 17 develop interest and skill in basic seamanship and its naval adaptations, while learning the value of patriotism, courage, self reliance, teamwork and accountability, and the value of education. Continued success and participation in the NSCC is dependent on maintaining good grades in school.
Membership in the Sea Cadets allows teenagers to sample military life with no obligation to join any branch of the armed forces. Should cadets decide to enlist in the Navy or Coast Guard, their training may allow them entry at an advance paygrade. The Naval Sea Cadet Corps affords equal opportunity for participation to all young Americans regardless of race, color, religion or sex.
