The 1943 season saw Navy win their second ever national championship, the ISFA national championship. The title was shared with the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.[1] The program was coached by former Olympic gold medalist,[2] Tom Taylor who had been coaching the program since its inception.
Due to World War II, the season was cut dramatically short, as the program only played fixtures from mid-October until late-November 1943.[3]
