Good on you for trying to understand the Navy history but, chances are you and her will not be learning the same things. Granted she'll have to take Naval Heritage as a class, but the type of stuff she'll have to learn and recite is Naval Academy Yard gouge (about certain monuments on the Yard and buildings), also will be stuff like "laws of the navy" that are memorized to the tune of Gilligan's Island (not sure if you know what that TV show that even is), "how's the cow?" a question asked by an upper-class and answered by a plebe (basically a way to ask how much milk is left in the milk carton on the table, but the answer to the question is a long winded response, one I'm not about to try and type), ranks of ALL the services (Navy, USMC, Army, USCG, Air Force), all her classmates full names and hometowns, of course all the names of the detailers in their company, and the regimental staff detailers and officers...
