The Navy on Friday identified the sailor killed Wednesday in a traffic accident at Blackwater USA’s compound in Moyock as Gunner’s Mate 1st Class Scott Shaw.
Click here Shaw, 29, died when his Jeep rolled over after he and Structural Mechanic 3rd Class Alejandro Delapena, 23, completed training at Blackwater, according to a Navy statement.
Delapena was treated at Chesapeake General Hospital and released Wednesday evening.
The Navy and the Camden County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the cause of the accident.
Shaw was driving his own Jeep when it rolled over in the single-vehicle wreck, said Paul Behrends, a Blackwater spokesman.
“It was just an accident,” Behrends said. “It’s a terrible tragedy.”
Shaw, along with Delapena, served as a Navy diver assigned to Naval Special Warfare Group Two Logistics and Support Unit. At Blackwater, they were training in basic combat skills, which covered support in equipment, firearms, fire, forces protection and evasive driving.
Shaw, who served 11 years in the Navy, was originally from Norwood, Mass., and graduated from Bourne High School in Bourne, Mass. He enlisted in the Navy and attended recruit training shortly after graduation.
After serving aboard the frigate Carr, he joined Naval Special Warfare Group Two as a diving technician and SEAL support operator.
His awards and decorations include the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Medal, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, Navy Battle “E” and Meritorious Unit Commendation.
Shaw is survived by his wife and three children

Chief Shaw was justifiably proud of Scott. We are very sad here for his loss. His son Kevin is on the job in Fairfax County near D.C.
