The Bengals had most recently fielded a team during 1942 and next competed in 1946; no team was fielded during 1943 or 1945 due to World War II. Described as "the first all-Navy football team ever to take the field" for the university,[3] the players were part of the V-12 Navy College Training Program.

Schedule edit

Contested during World War II, six of the team's games were played against military service teams. One of the games was contested outside the United States, in Edmonton against a squad of U.S. military servicemen called the Alaska Clippers.[4]
