I should have added that it has come full circle now with Clemson University's current presence at the former Charleston Naval Base. We are stabilizing the HL Hunley there and conducting research for wind turbines to be used in the ocean.

Clemson also opened the Zucker Family Graduate Education Center a few years ago, across the street from the wind turbine facility. Really nice facility. https://www.clemson.edu/cecas/departments/charleston/academics/programs/

For those who don’t know, Anita Zucker is the wealthiest resident in the state of South Carolina. She lives in Charleston, specifically on Johns Island.

The USS Clemson and Clemson-class destroyers are not named for Clemson University (or Thomas Green Clemson), though it's still cool to have the name out there.

Named after a young sailor by the name of H. A. Clemson that was lost at sea while chasing a blockade runner.
