"The \'Dung men and women who come to this magnificent institution arc the best 

and brightest this nation has to offer We take great pride in our program to 

prepare them to be commissioned officers in the U.S. t\avy and ~tarine Corps. It is 

our singularity of purpose that sets us apart from other colleges and umversities. 

We concentrate our considernble resources in developmg our midshipmen 

morally, mentally and phvsically The, receive the finest possible education to 

prepare them to serve their countn• 

At the United States i':aval Academy. vou become part of an extremelv proud 

tradition of excellence that has existed for five generations. We provide the finest 

educational facilities, the most up-to-date and modern labs and equipment, 

outstandtng recreational programs and athletic facilities that are unmatched 

am·where This ts fundamental to our commitment to excellence. The superb 

qualificaltons and dedication of our facultv and staff are further evidence of that 

commitment 'You will be challenged, \'el have the opportunity to perform to your 

full potential. 

Thb nation entrusts to us its one and greatest national treasure, the best of its 

youth .. literally the future. I am proud to report that Lhe Umted States '\;aval 

Arndem1 is equal to the challenge 

The \Java! Academy also is the final resting place of Revolutionary War naval 

hero John Paul Jones whose words, "l have not yet begun to fight," have 

inspired generations of U.S. naval officers. His crypt is located beneath the 

academy chapel, also known as the Cathedral of the Navy. A National 

l listoric Site, the Naval Academy hosts about one million tourists every year 

from all over the United States and the world. They come to enjoy the natural 

beauty of the Yard, to recall some of this country's naval history, and to 

marvel at the traditions carried on in midshipmen parades and military 

formations. 

Tourists and midshipmen also appreciate that downtown Annapolis lies right 

outside the gates of the academy. With its colonial chnrm and busy waterfront, 

Marvland's state capital provides a pleasant, diverse setting for one of 

America's premier colleges, the United States Naval Academy. 

History 

The academy started as the '\Ja,·al School in 1845, founded by Secretary of the 

Navy George Bancroft on 10 acres of old Fort Severn in Annapolis. Since then, 

the development of the Naval Academy has reflected the history of the United 

States. As our country has changed culturally and technologically, so has the 

'i 
'\aval Acadf.'m,·. In 1ust a (f.'w df.'cades, the '\a\'\ has mo\'f.'d from a flf.'f.'t of s,1il 

and stf.'am po,wrf.'d ships to a high-tech fleet with nuclear powered 

subm,1rinf.'s and surface ~hips ,ind supf.'rsonic aircraft The academy has 

changed, too, gl\·mg midsh1pmf.'n the up-to-datf.' academic and professional 

tra1111ng tlwy nef.'d to be effective naval officf.'r'> in their assignments after 

graduation. 

In 1850, thf.' '\a,·al School bf.'camf.' the U111ted St,1tes '\aval Academv. A new 

curriculum went into efff.'ct rf.'qu1nng m1dsh1pmf.'n to !>tudv at the aca'demy for 

four vears and to tram ,1bo.ird ships each summf.'r. That format 1s the basis of a 

tar more ad\'ancf.'d and sophisticated curriculum at the '\a val Academy today 

As the L 5. '\an grew o,·er the years, thf.' academy expanded. The rnmpus of 

10 acres mcrea,f.'d to 318. The original student body of 60 midshipmen grew to 

a brigade s1;,e ol .J,500 midshipmen .. \iloLif.'rn granite buildings replaced the 

old wooden structures oi fort Severn and the :\a\'al School. 

Congress ,1uthorized the '\,1\'al Academy to begin awardmg bachelor of 

sCll'IKe degn:\'s 111 1933 The academy later replaced a fixed curriculum taken 

by all m1dsl11pmen with the presf.'nt core cumculum plus 18 major fields of 

study, a w1dt• \'aril'ty of elf.'CtlVL· courses, and ,1d,·anced stud\' and research 

opportu111t1es 

Tlw '\,Hal Academy first acccpl\'d women as midshipmen in 1976 after 

CongrL'ss authori,-ed the ,1dmis.,mn oi women to all of the sen·ic<' academies. 

Appro,imatcly 135 women now enter with each plebe -- or freshman -- class, 

,md they pursue thL• same academic and professional traming as do their male 

cla..,smatt..-.... 

Mission 

The '\a,·al Academy has a u111que clantv of purpose, e,pressed in our official 

mission To df.',·elop midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to 

imbue tlll'm with the high\'st ideals of dut:,, honor and loyalt,· in order to

The Class of 1993 

Profile of Midshipmen 

It takes a special kind of young man or woman to handle the r-.Javal 

Academy's demanding program, but that doesn't mean all midshipmen are 

alike. Midshipmen come from all 50 states, U.S. territories and several foreign 

countries. They have roots in cities, suburbs, farms and ranches, small towns 

and military bases. They have talents and hobbies of every kind and 

personalities that fit every description. And, they represent the diverse ethnic 

and cultural heritages that, together, make the United States a great nation. 

Some characteristics seem to be common among Naval Academy 

midshipmen, however. The charts on these pages show you that midshipmen 

are good students, leaders in their high schools and communities, and 

interested in athletics. But other common qualities of midshipmen don't show 

up in statistics. The young men and women who choose the Naval Academy 

are looking for more than a college degree. They like the idea of being 

challenged mentally, physically and personally. They are people who don't 

want to settle for the ordinary, the routine or the easy. 

Midshipmen are also patnots. n1ey want to serve their country in a 

meaningful way -- in a profession that helped win this nation's independence 

more than 200 years ago. Finally, midshipmen are young people who look to 

the future. They see the opportunities available at the Naval Academy, as well 

as the exciting possibilities open to them in the Navy and Marine Corps after 

graduation

Om Commitment 

Setting apart the Naval Academy from almost every other college and 

university in the country is our commitment to the total development of our 

students. Some other colleges offer more majors in academics. Some put more 

emphasis on intercollegiate athletics. But nowhere else do you have a better 

opportunity to grow intellectually, personally and physically than at the 

Naval Academy. If you·ve chosen to enter the Naval Academy, we believe you 

can complete this tough, four-year program. In fact, we are committed to the 

principle of helping every midshipman succeed. We back up that commitment 

v.,ith ... 

•small class size. Most classes have no more than 25 students. When you are 

an upperclassman, some courses in your major may have only five to 10 other 

students. 

•student to faculty ratio of 10 to 1. Faculty members get to know you 

personally in and out of the classroom. They also are available to help with 

extra instruction or special projects until 11 p.m. every weeknight. It's not 

unusual to find professors and midshipmen burning the late-night oil together 

in an academy research lab or at a computer terminal. 

• protected study time. Evening study period is reserved from 8 p.m. to 

midnight Sunday through Friday to help all midshipmen keep up with their 

courses. Additionally, Nimitz Library, computer labs and other facilities are 

open ior midshipmen use all day and evening, seven days a week. 

• academic advising. To help you plan your curriculum, you get group and 

individual counseling as well as an academic adviser early in plebe year. A 

permanent faculty adviser is assigned when you select your major. 

• leadership and counseling. Your company officer and senior midshipmen 

also guide, monitor and evaluate your progress in academics, as well as 

military performance and conduct. They also are ready to help in the event of 

problems, as are the academy's staff of chaplains and professional counselors. 

• a sponsor program. Hundreds of families in the Annapolis area sponsor 

newly-arrived midshipmen, offering a home away from home and a place to 

relax off-campus. More than enough families volunteer to give every 

midshipman a local sponsor. These contacts often grow into deep friendships 

that last a lifetime. 

Your Commitment 

Becoming a midshipman at the aval Academy is a big step. It's not like 

starting your freshman year at a civilian college. You make a commitment to 

live a military lifestyle. You take an oath of office, promising to be loyal to 

your country and to defend 1t if necessary. You agree to be honorable in 

everything you do and say. You're also expected to work harder than you've 

ever worked before and to push yourself beyond your old limits. This is how 

we prepare you for the challenging responsibilities of a naval officer and the 

opportunities of a lifetime in the avy and Marine Corps.

"\.ly lather bemg a '-.aval Academy graduate influenced me to an extent. He told me 

he didn't want to pressure me about it, and he didn't. One thing you find out 

quickly is if you don·t reallv want to be here, if vou are doing it because someone 

else wants you to, you won't make it. 1 had learned a lot about the i\aval Academv 

from my father 1 wanted to come here because I had learned of the customs and 

trad1hons, and I wanted to be a part of it 

"l had a good idea of what It's like to be a plebe, and that helped me a lot. I knew 

what to expect. There werenl too many things that happened that I really wasn't 

prepared for I was preparl!d phys,cally, because I had always played sports. I 

consider myself lo be 111 average shape, but I knew Plebe Summer would be a 

challenge, so for about four or five months before I started a regular program of 

runnmg several m1ll!s a dav and doing push•ups and sil·ups. 

The biggest challenge is developmg self-confidence That's one th,ng they want to 

de,·elop because thev arc preparmg you lo become a leader. There 1s a tremendous 

amount of pressure to succeed, ,rnd they want to see how well you can handle it. 

Th<?y 1udge you and find out what your weaknesses are, and then they try to help 

vou overcome them The biggest challenge is to bounce back after a bad week and to 

develop the self-confidence you need to make it through each day."

Adlllissions 

Competition to become a midshipman is keen, but if you have prepared 

yourself for a challenging, multi-dimensional four-year program and want to 

serve with distinction as a leader iJ1 the 'avy or Mari.ne Corps, you shouJd 

apply. 

Applying to enter the Naval Academy is like applying to civilian colleges in 

some ways, but it's different in other respects. Besides reviewing your 

academic record, our admissions board will evaluate your medical and dental 

health, physical fitness, leadership potential and motivation to be a 

midshipman and an officer in the naval service. You must be recommended 

by past teachers; interviewed by an academy representative; and nominated 

by a U.S. congressman or other nomination source. Do not let the nomination 

requirement scare you. It is not necessary to know a member of Congress 

personally to gain a nomination. We'll help you through the nomination 

process st;irting on page 16. 

We try to ensure that the best qualified candidates from around the United 

States are selected for admission and that those ,vho are selected have the 

potential to complete the four-year program. All candidates have an equal 

opportunity, and eligible men and women are strongly encouraged to apply. 

The number of minority group members in recent years has risen to about 18 

percent of each class entering the academy. Women make up about JO percent 

of each new class.

'The ,a,·al Academy is unique in that we attempt to select and admit young men 

and women for a career, not 1ust a college. 

"\,!embers of the admissions board spend countless hours reviewing candidates. 

ll1is is a tough JOb because most of the candidates applying for the Naval Academy 

are achievers: highly motivated, well-rounded students who excel not only 

academically, but also in athletics and in extracurricular activities. 

"I personally believe that all of the candidates we accept can successfully complete 

the program if they maintain their desire and motivation. In fact, for the last 10 

years, we have averaged a gradualion rate of 77 percent. I think this is attributable 

to the combmation of our taking great care to match candidates to our program, and 

then helping them succeed while thev are here.

Selection for Appointment 

If the academy's admissions board finds you qualified scholasticaUy, 

physically and medically and you've obtained a nomination, you become one 

of the approximately 2,400 of each year's applicants to reach this stage. Of that 

number, around 1,600 are offered appointments, with about 1,350 accepting 

and becoming midshipmen. 

Offers of appointment and our form of an early offer (called a Letter of 

Assurance) are made beginning in October and continue through the 

following spring. Nearly all appointments are offered by May 1. Candidates 

not offered an appointment by then probably will not be selected for the class 

to enter in early July. 

All candidates offered an appointment to the Naval Academy are encouraged 

to visit the academy in mid-May for a full day of orientation briefings and 

tours. This visit is not mandatory and will not affect your appointment status. 

Naval Service Obliga tion 

When you are offered an appointment, we send you several important 

documents and forms to consider and complete. One of the most important 

for United States citizens is the Agreement to Ser\'e. This agreement, required 

by U.S. law (Title 10, U.S. Code, Sections 6959 and 2005) and other directives, 

outlines your service obligation and is signed on Induction Day in July at the 

Naval Academy. It requires the consent of parents or guardian if you are a 

minor. In signing the Agreement to Serve, you state that you will: 

• complete the four-year course of instruction at the Na\'al Academy. 

• accept an appointment and serve on active duty as a commissioned officer 

of the Regular avy or Marine Corps for at least five years immediately after 

graduation. 

• accept an appointment as a commissioned officer in the reserve 

component of the avy or Manne Corps and remain therein until the eighth 

anniversary of graduation from the Naval Academy if an appointment as a 

commissioned officer in the regular component is not tendered at graduation 

or if you resign as a commissioned officer of the regular component before the 

eighth anniversary. 

•serve in an appropriate enlisted grade on active duty for not more than 

four years if you do not fulfill the paragraphs agreed to above. 

• reimburse the United States for the cost of education received at the aval 

Academy if you voluntarily, or through misconduct, fail to complete a period 

of active duty specified abo\'e. 

Oath of Office 

The appointment information also includes a copy of the Oath of Office which 

must be signed and agreed to orally by U.S. midshipmen on Induction Day: 

''!, ______ ~ having been appointed a midshipman in the United 

States Navy, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the 

Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic; 

that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that J take this obligation 
; 

freely, without am· mental rL",en·ation or purpose of e\·asion; and that I will 

well ,ind la1thlully discharge the duties of the ollin• on whICh I am about to 

enter so help me God" 

Resignations and Separations 

If vou enter the '\a\ al Acadl'mv directh· from C1\'lli,1n lifl', you ,issume a 

hve•yl'ar mil1tarv obligation according to the Agreement to 51.'rve 

:--tidsh1pmen who don·t lulhll this agrl'eml'nt could be transferred to the '\a\·al 

or \,lanne Corps Rl'sl'n·e 111 an enlisted status and ordered by thl' secretary of 

thl' '\a\'\ to sern.' on actl\'I? dut\' for a penod not to exceed four ,ears, as 

pro\'lded by Tith.' 10, LS. Code, Section 6959. I lowever, 111 pracllcl', the

II 11

when you accept an appointment to the academy. Therefore, if you do not 

fulfill the Agreement to Serve, you will return to enlisted status to complete 

the period of service for which enlisted or obligated, as provided by Title 10, 

U.S. Code, Section 516. In calculating the unexpired part of an enlistment or 

period of obligated service, time as a midshipman is counted as service under 

that enlistment or service obligation. However, if you are discharged or your 

resignation is accepted after beginning your second-class academic year at the 

Naval Academy, you incur the same obligations described above for those 

who enter the academy from civilian life. 

In either case, if you leave the Naval Academy after the start of your 

second-class year or refuse a commission upon graduation and do not 

complete the appropriate active-duty service obligation, whether voluntarily 

or through misconduct, you can be required to reimburse the United States for 

the cost of education received at the Naval Academy. This cost is computed by 

the Naval Academy and includes the costs of professors' salaries, supplies and 

other expenses. It is comparable to the tuition at a first-rate private university. 

The amount to be reimbursed in a particular case varies proportionally with 

the period of unserved obligation, ranging up to the entire cost of education. 

Costs and Financial Obligations 

Before entering the Naval Academy, you must deposit $1,500 to be used as 

partial payment for your uniforms and supplies, including a personal 

computer In cases of extreme hardship, the deposit may be reduced or 

waived bv the academy, and then made up through deductions from pay over 

four years as a midshipman. 

A $1,500 interest-free loan from the federal government is advanced to 

entering midshipmen to help defray first-year costs not covered by the 

deposit. This loan is repaid through monthly deductions from midshipmen 

pay during the four years at the academy. 

If you \"Oluntarily lea\·e the I aval Academy before repaying these and any 

other obligations, you must pay the debts in full before separation. If you are 

separated involuntarily, you must tum in enough uni.forms and equipment 

suitable for reissue to pay your debts. If these reclaimed items don't cover 

your indebtedness, you must pay the difference. 

Documentation 

To be admitted to the Naval Academy, on lnduction Day in July you must 

submit documentary evidence of birth to Naval Academy officials. A certified 

copy of your birth certificate is the best evidence. lf you are a U.S. citizen born 

outside of the United States, you must show proof of your citizenship in the 

form of a Department of State, consular or other government birth report. In 

any case, if the name on your evidence of birth is not identical to your current 

name, a court order authorizing a name change is required. You also must 

have a Social Security number when you apply to the '-Java I Academy. 

Reporting for Induction Day 

If you accept an appointment to the Naval Academy, you'll report for 

induction in early July, take the Oath of Office and begin Plebe Summer with 

your new classmates from around the nation. It will be one of the biggest days 

in your life. We will tell you what you need to bring and how to make travel 

arrangements to Annapolis.

Academy. S111ce flu· Monaca, PA, native didn't l,ar,e enough lune III sennce for a direct 

1101111na/1011 to the academy, lw accepted a11 oppor/1111ily lo attend the Nam/ Academy 

Preparatory School (NAPS) firs/. Now a first-class mids/11pma11, Seo/I //n11ks the year at 

NAPS was well spent. 

"NAPS definitely gave me a good preparation for the academy. At NAPS you study 

math, physics, chemistry, computers and English in five or six classes a day. Each 

class in itself ts not difficult, but the combined load of all those classes can be tough. 

That's the thing about \/APS that prepares you best for the Naval Academy - you 

learn lime management and setting priorities, That's probably the hardest thing 

about the academy for some people. 

"If you graduate from 1\APS, you have the skills necessary to take you through 

plebe year at least If vou are coming out of the fleet, it gives you the time to brush 

up on your skills in mathematics and science. 

"I think ,f you come to the \:aval Academy from NAPS, you've proven you reaUv 

want to be here Some people who come straight in might not have to put forth a lot 

of effort to get in here, or this may have been one of many choices. But, if you've 

gone through 1\APS, you know this is what you really want to do - to be a Navy or 

'vlanne Corps officer It makes you ,·ery career oriented, and this makes you 

successful 

"I had completed t:v-•o years of college at West Virginia Umversit} and, when I made 

nw dec1s1on to come here, I had already been accepted as a junior at Florida 

Atlantic University. I could have finished my schooling in just two years. Now, here 

tl is se,·en vears later and I'm a senior But I never regretted my decision to come 

here I want to be a good 'vlarine Corps or ;\!avy officer, and tlus is the best way to 

learn how 

Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) 

Located in Newport, RI, 'JAPS offers a IO-month college preparatory course to 

active-duty and reserve Navy and Manne Corps enlisted men and women 

who arc seeking Naval Academy appointments. This program is designed to 

strengthen the academic background of incoming candidates. Navy and 

Marine Corps personnel who apply but are not appointed to the Naval 

Academy are automatically considered for admission to APS. The academy 

also identifies a number of promising and highly moti\'ated civilian 

candidates who are not successful on their first attempt at admission and 

offers them the opportunity to enlist in the Naval Reserve for the express 

purpose of attending NAPS. 

U.S. Naval Academy Foundation 

The U.S. Nava l Academy Foundation, Inc., also helps promising candidates 

who are not appointed in thei.r first try for admission. This nonprofit 

organization awards a limited number of scholarships for post-high school 

preparatory studies to enhance those candidates' qualifications for admission. 

The Naval Academy's admissions board automatically recommends 

candidates to the Fo~ndation for sponsorship consideration. No special 

request is required. Candidates accepted for sponsorship by the Foundation 

usually have submitted their applications to the Na,·al Academy before March 

1 of their senior year i11 high school. A limited number of applications will be 

considered after that time. 
Cash granh arc made to the parttcip,Hmg Junior college, prep school or college 

sek-ctcd Parents of apphc,1nh arc expected to contribute withm their ml'ilns. 

Each entering class includes about 100 Foundation scholarship candidates. 

Candidates who successfully complete the foundation program will nornrnllv 

be offered an appomtment to the '\,wal Academy. 

Other Considerations 

Appo intments of Women 

In 1976, Congrc,s authorized woml•n to enter the sen·ice academic, and SI 

women were admitted with the '\a\'al Academv Class of 1980. Great strides 

have been made since 1976 lo fulh mtegrate women into the Brigade of 

\,hchh1pmcn. 

About 135 women will enter the '\a\'al Acadcmv with the Class of 1495. 

Admissions standards arc the same as those for ~en, with the c,ctpl1on ot 

some allowances made for the phvs1cal differences between men and women. 

The number of women admitted e,1ch WM is based on the needs of the '-a\·\" 

and ,\,!anne Corps for women t;fficers Approximate!} -IO0 of the 

-1,500-member Brigade of vl1dsh1pmcn MC women There arc norm,,ll} 9 to 12 

women in each compan\', with three assigned to ,1 room. 

The academy offers women the s,1mc opportunities to excel 1t has ah,·ays 

extended to men: a challenging <1e,1dcmic curriculum to promote intellectual 

dc,clopmcnt, a physical traming program to build strength, agility and 

endurance; and a mihtan- en\'lronment to de\'elop d1sopl111c, m1lit,1n skilb 

and lc,1dership. 

Previous Candidates 

If you applied before but were nc>t appc>mtcd to the \.aval Acadcm,·, you can 

rc,1pph- for admission with a subsequent class. The application process 1s the 

same. We recommend vou ret,1J...e vour SAT or ACT tesb Abo, 1f you take 

college or prep school courses before reapplymg, we suggest you take courses 

similar to those required of first·vcM m1dsh1pmen at the '\;aval Acadcmv 

Readm ission of Former Midshipmen 

Former m1dsh1pmen desmng lo reenter the \.a\al Academv must obtain a 

new nommallon and complete the other usual admission procedure,. In 

,1ddit1on to adm1ss1ons board action, the aci!demv s academic board must 

,1gree to readmit former m1dsh1pmen. Like an, other candidate, vou must not 

be past your 26th birthday on July I of the year you would graduate from the 

academy to be eligible for con~1dcration. Requests should be addressed to the 

de,1n of admission, not later than April l of the ye.ir of desired readmission. 

Internationa l Students 

In thl' mterest of 111tl'rnation,1l and na\'\'·to-na\'V relations, the secrctar\ of the 

'\,n·,· can author1 e students from certa111 co~ntries to enroll at the '\,wal

Life at the 

Naval Acade1ny 

We can't tell you exactly what four years at the Naval Academy would be like 

for vou personally, but we can describe our philosophy, our curriculum and 

the daily life you can expect. Only when you experience the exhausting rigors 

of Plebe Summer, only when you face the responsibility of commanding other 

midshipmen, and only when you throw your hat into the air at graduation 

will you really know what the aval Academy experience is all about. We can 

e:-.plain that the four years at Annapolis are tightly structured. While there are 

many ways you can pursue your individual areas of interest, a four-year 

program is required of all midshipmen. In this section, we'll give you a 

general description of life at Annapolis. Later chapters give you the details of 

the academic, athletic and professional training programs. 

Definitions 

Let's start with a few basics. On your first day at the academy, you begin 

learning a whole new vocabulary of nautical and Naval Academy tem1s.

time and keep your uniforms in regulation condition. Demerits are awarded 

for a room or uniform that is not m proper order or squared away. 

All midshipmen live m Bancroft Hall, a huge dormitor: comple'<. You are 

assigned lo a room with one or more other midshipmen, and li\'e in close 

proximity to about 110 other midshipmen in your company. Men and women 

midshipmen from all four classes make up each company. Each company has 

its own living area, called the wardroom, for meetings and recreation. 

The company 1s the most important unit of the -t,500-member Brigade of 

\lidshipmen. Many of your most rewarding experiences al the Naval 

Academy arc those you share with members of your company. You eat, sleep, 

study, drill, play and compete as teams with your company mates. You learn 

to trust and rely 011 each other. And, you pull together to get through rough 

times. The company experience also gives you an idea of how thing5 work in 

the \/a,·y and Marine Corps, where small-unit cohesion, teamwork and 

morale are as important m peacetime operations as in combat. The year-long 

color competition among the 36 companies is one way company spirit is built. 

Companies accumulate points for academic, professional and intramural 

excellence. The company with the most points is recognized at the Color 

Parade during Commissioning Week and then enjoys special privileges for the 

next vear, mcludmg the honor of representing the Naval Academy at official

As color company we marched in the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff reltrcmcnt ,1t

we\·e done before. When we were out there on the field we were nationally 

tele,·,sed, the president walked right by us and the whole brigade was watchin11 u; 

I can honestly say it was one of my proudest momenb since I've been here. 

As color company, more than other companies, we have standards lo live up lo. 

Right from the beginnnmg we re supposed to be the top company just as for the 

Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff retirement, we are lhe companv that represents the 

academy if the need anses. This 1s a benefit. The members of our compam don't 

think of the extra work as a burden, it's something we are proud of doing 

I trunk company commanders have the most important jobs in the brigade. I'm 21 

years old and I'm m charge of 120 people. I'll admit I've been busy and ils been a lot 

of work, but a great deal of pride goes along with 1t. I can say these are m~- people 

As company commander you have to relate to officers and midshipmen. This is ,1 

skill we need when we get 111 the fleet as jumor officers, dcaltng with officers and 

enlisted men I think this is the best tra,n,ng for what we'll encounter in the fleet . 

.. For the past three vears I've been 111 the same company with the first classmen Our 

friendships have evolved since then, we have friendships I don't thmk we could get 

anywhere else, You actuallv feel that 24th company becomes a part of YOU The 

friends I've made here will last a ltfetimc because we've gone through so manv 

th111gs together.

Plebe Summer 

All midshipmen begin the four-year program with Plebe Summer, a period 

designed to turn civilians into midshipmen. Plebe Summer is no gentle easing 

into the military routine. Soon after entering the gate on Induction Day, you 

are put into uniform and taught how to salute by the first-class midshipmen 

and officers who lead the plebe indoctrination program. For the next seven 

weeks, you start your days at dawn with an hour of rigorous exercise and end 

them long after sunset, wondering how you'll make it through the next day. 

Forget television, leisure time or movies. You'll have barely enough hours in 

the day to finish your assigned plebe tasks. 

The frantic, exhausting pace of Plebe Summer leads you somewhere. Jt gets 

you ready for your responsibilities when the brigade returns from summer 

training and the academic year begins. The summer also builds the foundation 

for the tangible and intangible qualities that make an outstanding naval 

officer. You learn self-discipline. You learn to organize your time and decide 

which things are most important. You reach top physical condition. You 

develop your ability to think clearly under stress and to react quickly when 

the unexpected comes your way. Any officer who has stood the watch on the 

bridge of a ship in a storm or landed a jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier at 

night can tell you the importance of these qualities. 

Plebe Summer introduces you to the basic how-to's of the Navy as well. 

Aboard l'\Javal Academy sailboats, you learn to respect the power of wind and 

current In motor boats and yard patrol craft, you learn the basics of 

seamanship, navigation and boat handling. On the weapons range, you learn 

how to fire small arms safelv and accurately. You also learn whv we have 

high standards of honor, ch;racter and mor~lity. And, you begin to de\·elop 

vour own ideas about leadership and the techniques that will make you an 

effective leader when your tum comes. 

Academic Year 

When the upperclassmen return to the academy in late August to begin the 

academic year, you begi11 a rou tine that becomes very familiar during your 

four years. A typical weekday schedule looks something like this:

"For me the most demanding part of Plebe Summer was the le\'el of accountability 

e\'ery single second of vour waking day I found mv abilities grew along the lines 

of endurance, strength and mental acuity. I'll admit my confidence was bombarded, 

but I realized I was gcttmg better, and I began to take the molding in stride. 

"There are more opportunities here than you might 1mag111e. lt starts with the 

chance to play intramural sport~ The whole program below the varsity lier is open 

to e\'ervone. That carnes over to the academic arena and eventua llv to the career 

choices·. 

"So far what I like nwst about the Naval Academy 1s the cooperation among 

classmates. We operate as a umt. The most dramatic example of that premise 

occurred four weeks after we arrived. The tragic death of one of our company 

leaders tested our coherence as we struggled with the loss, knowing we had to get 

beyond that set-back." 

When you add to this schedule the time required for military duties, 

inspection preparation and extra academic instruction, you can see the 

demands on your time a re considerable. 

Leaders hip Responsibility 

As you progress through the years at the academy, leadership responsibilities 

grow. Each year, you and your classmates assume more important roles in 

running your company, your battalion and the brigade. By the time you are a 

first-class midshipman, you are making daily decisions affecting the morale 

and performance of other midshipmen. You are teaching them the 

fundamentals of the naval profession and helping them through difficulties. 

You are leading them through personal example, communications, rewa rds 

and discipline and other techniques youve learned in !he classroom and 

through three years experience. Your leadership responsibilities also increase 

111 summer professional training. After learning what it's like to be a sailor 

aboard ship during youngster cruise, you undertake the duties of a junior 

officer during your first-class summer assignment. 

You build your leadership skills in these and other settings, where you can 

learn from mistakes and benefit from the guidance of seasoned Navy and 

Marine Corps officers. By the lime vou take your position as a naval officer 

responsible for leading talented sailors and Marines, you know what 

leadership techniques and styles work best for you ind 1fferent situations. 

Religious Acti viti es 

Spmtual growth 1s an important part of military life. Protestant, Catholic and 

Jewish services are held weekly in the /\.aval Academy chapels. You may also 

attend church in the Annapolis community. Attendance at religious services is 

optional. The academy staff includes seven \/a\'y chaplains representing 

\ arious faiths. They are available to counsel midshipmen in matters relating to 

!a1th or life 111 general The chaplains also sponsor Bible studies, prayer groups 

and mstrucllon classes. 

37 
38 

Recreation 

All midshipmen arc encouraged to take part in one or more of the academy's 

many clubs ,rnd extracurricular activities. For plebes especial!), these activities 

help to relieve the stress of academics and the tough military routine. After 

plebe year, your free time increases to relax, pursue personal i11terests, date 

and explore the local area. There"s much to see and do in Annapolis, Baltimore 

and Washington, DC. There also are many cultural, social and sports activities 

sponsored by the 11cademy. 

Spectator sports 

On autumn weekends, the excitement and color of Navy footbalJ sweeps the 

brigade. All midshipmen attend home games in '-Javy-Marine Corps 

Memorial Stadium. Groups of midshipmen also attend most away games. The 

football se11son ends with the whole brigade cheering on the team in the 

traditional Army- 11vy game. There are 33 other varsitv Navy teams to cheer 

on, as well. Outstanding spectator facilities bring out enthusiastic Navy 

supporters for almost every rivalry from ,,vrcstling and swimming to lacrosse, 

basketball, soccer and baseball.

'I meet a lot of midshipmen's parents who come to Annapolis fr,,m cities and towns 

across the country Usualh the\' are very concerned bec,1u,c the, are so far away 

and, ,n many cases, the\''re being ,eparated from their sons and daughters for the 

first lime. When I tell them about the sponsor program, thev arc so relieved to learn 

that we are providing this kmd of support 

"The important thing ,s that when a midshipman comes here from the \Vest Coast, 

or Sioux Falls, or wherel'er, there's someone right in Annapolis waiting with a 

welcome. There's a local number to call if the midshipman needs anything or just 

wants someone to talk to. My 'mids· know I'm onlv a phone call away. Thev can 

come over for a change of scenery or 1ust to get into a sweatshirt and watch TV. lt·s 

a nice change for them, a mce home awav from home, even ,r ,rs iusl fur a few 

hours. But when you are a sponsor, it's not iust you doing things for them. You 

learn and grow with them. It's a two-way street. 

As a sponsor, you'll ne,·er J..now how much you help or the difference you make in 

a midshipman's life But I can remember when I was m college and someone helped 

me - even ii ll was iust a smile, a word of encouragement or some other kmd of 

outreach - and I know you don't forget that in life. 

"I wanted to do somethmg to support the mission of the \Java! Academy, and that's 

why I became a sponsor J wanted to support the m1dsh1pmen -- not lo coddle them 

-- 1ust to love them " 

Dunng Plebe Summer, every midshipman is introduced to an Annapolis-area 

family which has volunteered to host midshipmen for dmners, local 

~1ghtseeing, recreation and simple relaxation away from the demands of the 

Yard. Many sponsor relationships last long beyond the academy years. 

Social events 

The Brigade Activities Committee plans several special weekends during the 

year, including events like the annual International Ball with young guests 

from embassy row in Washington. Midshipmen groups also plan and 

participate in theatrical events, concerts and dinners. Senior naval officers join 

midshipmen regularly for traditional mess nights featuring fom1al rules of 

order, formal toasts, skits and fines. Individual companies of midshipmen 

often organi,:e their own special activities on weekends Certainly the 

highlight of our social calendar is Commissioning Week in May -- five days of 

dances, garden parties, parades, concerts, sailmg and a Blue Angels flight 

demonstration leading to graduation and commissioning of first-class 

midshipmen.

Cultural Affaiis Program 

We take advantage of our proximity to Washington, DC, and Baltimore to 

arrange tickets and transportation to cultural events in those metropolitan 

a reas. Plays, symphonies, operas and ballets at Washington's Kennedy Center 

and other theatres are open to midshipmen from aU classes. Many other 

cultural activities, including concerts, poetry readings and lectures by leading 

American authors, are offered right at the academy. 

Extracurricular Activities 

Even with a midshipman's demanding academic and athletic schedule, you 

will have lime for extracurricular activities (ECAs). We have more than 70 

which give midshipmen a chance to share recreational, professional and 

athletic interests. Most of the ECAs ase run by midshipmen.

"I became the director of the newly formed Gospel Choir in my plebe year, thanks 

to my roommate's elbow. Those intimidatmg upperclassmen were looking for a 

,·olunteer to direct the choir, and I got the nudge from my roommate, who knew I 

had played piano and sung in my hometown church choir Imagine the pride I felt 

three years later when our Gospel Choir sang three concerts a day for five days in a 

row in Atlanta area schools and colleges. 

"Running track as a varsity sport has been very rewarding. \,fy proudest moment 

came at the Penn Relavs, a national track meet where Navy ran in front of 50,000 

people m an indoor st~dium- something awesome compaied to the usual size of 

track meet audiences. In the second leg of the mile relay, when I got the baton we 

had a -10-vard lead Then I heard the screams from the crowd, like when a runner is 

overtaking someone. I could teel someone breathing over my shoulder, but I 

nmnaged lo beat him Navy brought home a silver medal. 

"In order to get the most out of an ECA, you must have the desire to manage your 

involvement with your other professional responsibilities. The key to accomplishing 

this goal is to balance vour priorities and know your time limitations. For example, I 

was just a wall-.-on athlete, not recruited for anv exceptional talent. There are so 

many benefits from ECAs. Leammg to do many things well here will better prepare 

you to assume multiple responsibilities once you get to the fleet "

Local and Area Attractions 

The Naval Academy lies adjacent to historic downtown Annapohs, which is 

famous for its state capitol, colonial homes and waterfront. The city dock is 

the focal point of the Annapolis waterfront. Workboats outfitted for 

harvesting crabs and oysters berth next to million-dollar sailing yachts and 

power boats. During mild weather, the dock is the scene of concerts, boat 

shows and festivals mixing midshipmen and local citizens with thousands of 

tourists. For a small city (35,000 population) Annapolis is very sophisticated, 

offering many fine restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, museums, repertory 

theatre and a symphony orchestra. Several large shopping centers and malls 

are located in the suburbs. 

Maryland's largest city, Baltimore, is approximately 30 miles from Annapolis 

and the '\lava! Academy. Baltimore's Inner Harbor offers a wide variety of 

specialty shops, eateries and entertainments. The Maryland Science Center 

and the '\lational Aquarium are also there. Greater Baltimore also has 

theatres, galleries, museums and a zoo. For sports enthusiasts, there are race 

tracks, a professional indoor soccer team and the Baltimore Orioles baseball 

team 

Due west of Annapolis lies Washington, DC, our nation's capital. Washington 

1s home to the Smithsonian Institution with its museums of Natural l listory, 

American Arl, American llistorv and Air and Space. There arc hundreds of 

other attractions ranging from art galleries, symphonies, opera, ballet, and 

off-Broadway theatre to rock and jazz concerts, ethnic festivals and scenic 

parks. Washington also has its share of professional sports teams including 

1988 Super Bowl Champion Redskms in football, the Bullets in basketball and 

the Capitals in ice hockey.

Midshipmen Pay and Benefits 

The Navy pays for the tuition, room and board, and medical and dental care 

of Naval Academy midshipmen. You also enjoy regular active-duty benefits 

including access to military commissaries and exchanges, commercial 

transportation and lodging discounts, and the ability to fly space-available in 

military aircraft around the world. In addition, all midshipmen are paid 

$504.30 monthly. Part of this goes to defray the cost of uniforms, books and 

professional equipment. 

Leave and Privileges 

The Naval Academy's combined arndemic, military and physical development 

programs demand a lot of effort, requiring you to spend more time on campus 

than the typical ci\'ilian college student. But midshipmen enjoy Chrishnas and 

summer vacations (leave) plus shorter periods of time off (liberty). Free time 

to be away from the academy is based in large part on assigned military 

responsibilities, performance m academic and military endeavors, and class 

seniority You earn more liberty and privileges each year you ad vance at the 

academy. All midshipmen generally are granted leave during these periods: 

•Thanksgiving leave 

• a Christmas vacation at the end of the fall semester. 

• mid-term leave during spring semester. 

• Easter lea vc 

• a short break at the end of spring semester and before Commissioning 

Week 

• a month-long summer vacation for aU but new plebes, staggered according 

to the summer's professional training schedule. 
During semesters of the academic vear, off-campus privileges fall into two 

categories: town liberty and weekend liberty. Weekend liberty permits you to 

leave the academy after your last class on Friday and return Sunday evening. 

Liberty curfews differ according to seniority You are not eligible for liberty if 

you re assigned a military watch (rotated responsibilities) or if you're having 

serious difficulty in academics, conduct or military perforn1ance. Generally, 

town and weekend liberty is authorized for midshipmen as follows: 

• plebes have town liberty on Saturday afternoons and evenings, and liberty 

within the Naval Academy complex on Saturday mornings and Sunday 

afternoons. Plebes can date on at least four weekends during the year and 

throughout Commissioning Week. Special weekend liberty may be granted on 

special occasions. 

• five libertv weekends each semester are authorized for third-classmen, 

eight a semester for second-classmen. 

• first-classmcn have town liberty all day Saturday, Sunday morning and 

afternoon, Wednesday afternoon and Friday evening after classes. They also 

have unlimited weekend liberty, except when assigned military watches. 

Motor Vehicles 

Restrictions apply to your use of motor vehicles as a midshipman. This is 

necessary because parking space is very limited at the academy and in 

Annapolis. Also, you have limited lime off in the first years to make use of a 

private vehicle. These arc the current rules: 

45 
46 

• a-. a plebL• vou arc not permitted to operate motor \'eh1cles except \\'hen 

authon ed IL•ave, such as dunng Christmas vacation. 

•third-class midshipmen mav h,1ve a car or truck but must maintain and 

operate 11 bL•nind the town libL•rty limits. 

•second-class m1dsh1pmen may ha\'e a car or truck but must maintain and 

operall' it at IL•,bt two miles beyond academy grounds. 

• fir,t-cla,s midshipmen may drive a car or truck in Annapolis and on board 

the '\a\ al Academy, and may park at the acadcmy. 

• no midshipman is allo\\'ed to maintain or operatc a motorcycle \\'lthin 

to\\'n libertv limits.

Degree Awarded 

upon graduation, you are awarded a bachelor of science degree, regardless of 

your major, because of the technical content of the core curriculum. Those in 

the top 10 percent of their class graduate with distinction. Those who have 

completed special honors programs in selected majors graduate with honors. 

Educational Philosophy 

The Naval Academy's philosoph) of education stresses individual attention to 

students by a highly qualified faculty who are strongly corn.mjtted to teaching. 

You won't get lost in the classroom at the Naval Academy. Classes are small, 

generally ranging in size from 10 to 27 students. Even the core courses 

required of all midshipmen are divided into small sections. You get individual 

attention from your instructor. In science and engineering courses, the same 

professor who lectures in the classroom supervises experiments in the lab. 

This contrasts sharply with most universities, where scholars may address 

their students in huge lecture halls, but direct contact with undergraduates in 

labs or discussion sections is delegated to graduate assistants. All courses at 

the Naval Academy are taught by faculty members, not by graduate 

assistants. 

Professor Pela F Wiggi11s has a 28-llt'ar nssoc,a/io11 with the Naval Academy 11s a professor of 

1111c/ear and mamw e11g1Jieer111g. He was honored 111 1988 as liJL• Stal<• of Man1l11111i professor of

'/\hdshrpmen are generally good students. They carry a heavy academic load, and 1 

think ,ts 1mporlanl that faculty members assist them 111 their learning process. We are 

verv fortunate at the Naval Academy that we have very many good teachers, and that's 

across the board in every deparhnenl and every discipline. I think that's evident when 

you talk to the m1dsh1pmen. They know that faculty members are willing to give them 

extra 111stmction 111 the afternoon or in the evenings or Sundays. 

'I th111k most midshipmen have a good background from h,gh school, but we also have 

to 111spire them to learn. We do this by showing a great amount of enthusiasm for the 

subject ourselves and bv example. And we lrv lo keep classes interest111g and gel our 

students interested in learning. We try lo show them how technical courses will be 

useful to them later on in the neet or wherever they are go111g ... to the Marine Corps, 

or as a pilot or submarine or surface warfare officer. 

·1 always tell them this 1s their opportunity to get the best possible education they can 

- a foundation they can call on for the rest of their lives as naval officers. This is the 

beg111ning of their learnmg. Learning continues long after they leave the Naval 

Acadenw. If thev don't get the basics and the foundation here, it's gomg to be a 

problem later, whether they go to graduate school or whether they are learning 

weapons systems or any new technology that's coming into the Navv The l\.avy is a 

technological field. Thcv have to understand the basic prmciples of engineering. If the 

teacher is concerned, if the teacher is 111terested and enthusiastic about the subject, it 

reallv does rub off on the sh1dent. 1 think that's the best way we help them learn."

Faculty 

Our 600-member faculty 1s an mtegrated group of officers and c1vil1ans in 

nearly equal numbers. This practice is unique among service academies dating 

from the earliest days of the "l.a,·al School when three civilian teachers joined 

four '\.avv officers in the first facultv. Officers rotate to the academv for 

assignments, bringing fresh ideas and ~xpenences from operahonal unit~ and 

staffs of the Navy and Marine Corps. They also can explain how studies at the 

academ) are applied 111 the fleet and the field On top of their professional 

trainmg and experience, all military facult, members have master's degrees or 

doctorates. The academy's civilian faculty members give continuity to the 

educational program and form a core of professional scholarship and teaching 

experience. '\earl~ all of these civilians ha,·e doctoral degrees, and many of 

them are recogmzed as lead111g scholars 111 their fields. Working together 

closely, these military and civilian faculty members form one of the strongest 

and most dedicated leachmg faculties of any college or university in the 

united States. Although man\ of them arc 111volved in scholarly research and 

wnllng, their first pnontv alwavs 1s teach111g. 

Academic Counseling 

You rcce1w ,is much help as vou need 111 planmng your curnculurn. Plebes 

receive al least 2 hours of group and individual academic counseling in their 

first fe" weel..s at the academv and then are assigned temporary academic 

,1dnsers. \\"hen you select vour maior, you are assigned a permanent faculty 

adnser from the academic department of that maior. Your professors and 

compam officer also can help you consider curriculum options relative to 

vour talcnh, mterests and career goals in the '\.an or \larine Corps. 

Core Curriculum 

In four n•.irs at the i\.aval Academy, you are required to take certam core 

courses lo make sure vou are well prepared for the major career-path opllons 

available lo \Ja,·y and vlarine Corps officers. Core requirements also prepare 

vou for ad,anced professional lraming and postgraduate education, which are 

e-..pected of nearly all naval officers. Through required courses 111 eng111eering, 

natural sciences, social science~, the huma111t1es, professional military subjects 

and physical education, the \Java! Academy gives vou a balanced education 

to open practically anv door of opportunity 111 the future. 

During plebe or freshman year, all courses are required These form the 

foundation for the more advanced courses chosen bv upperclass midshipmen. 

Some core requirements 111 the upperclass ,·ears ha\'e alternatln~ courses from 

which to choose, depending on ,·our academic background, abilities and 

maior. 

The typical academIC schedult.> for plebes mcludes fh·e to s1-.. academIC courses 

111 each of two semesters

If you validate a basic course, you can enroll in a sequential course in the same 

sub1ecl, take care of another curriculum requirement or carry a lighter 

academic load In any case, you must take a minimum of 15 credit hours each 

semester and spend a total of four years in residence at the \Ja,·al Academy to 

complete professional courses and training. 

Midshipmen who take ad\'antage of ,·altdation 111 their early years may 

pursue independent research, honors programs or master's degree studies tn 

their fou rth year al lhc academy, if they qualify for admission to these special 

programs. 

Majors Program 

The '\a,al Academy is, fundamentally, an engtneenng school, and it is 

expected that the majority of graduates wtll be engineers or technical maiors. 

For those exceptional students with unique backgrounds, overriding interests 

and commitments to other fields of study, a broad majors program in those 

non-technical sciences and humanities that can be reasonabl\ related to the 

na,·al profession is offered. 

'\Jcar the end of plebe year, you choose a maior cour~e of study with the aid 

and support of academic and milttar: ad\'lsers. A. total of 18 majors are 

offered: 

Aerospace Engineering 

Chemistn 

Computer Science 

Economics 

Electrical Engineering 

English 

General Lngmeering 

General Science 

Histon 

\larine Engineering 

\ la thematics 

\1echanical Engineering 

'\'aval Architecture 

Ocean Engineering 

Oceanography 

Phvsics 

Political Science 

Systems Engineering 
Some of these areas offer additional specialization within the major. For 

example, recognizing that the '\a,·y is an important user of space vehicles and 

satellites, the '\'aval Academy recentlv created an astronaullcs track within the 

aerospace engmeering maj~r to help prepare midshipmen for assignments 

with the '\avy Space Command and NASA. 

\linors in French, Genmm, Spanish, Russian, Chmcse and Japanese are 

offered to those who began to study any of these languages before coming to 

the academy or who complete requirements while at the academy. 

Special Academic Opportunities 

Outstanding students at the :'\aval Academy have many opportunities to 

challenge and ad,·ance themselves through severnl special progrnms. 

Trident Scholars 

Top midshipmen scholars can spend their senior year conducting 

independent research in an area of interest, working with a faculty adviser 

who 1s an expert m the field. Trident Scholars carry a reduced formal course 

load to give them time for in-depth research and preparation of a thesis. 

Recent Trident Scholar projects have included research on "Failure Modes in 

Composite Materials" to "Analysis of Glint Patterns Using Remote Sensing 

Techniques.' 

Honors Program 

Midshipmen with excellent academic and leadership performance can apply 

for honors programs offered in history, English, political science, mathematics 

and economics. Honors students complete a thesis or research project, and 

orally defend it before a panel of faculty members. Successful participants 

graduate with honors.

Voluntary Graduate Education Program (VGEP) 

Midshipmen who have completed academy course requirements early 

through any combination of validation and overloading can begin work 

toward master's degrees at nearby civilian universities such as Georgetown, 

Johns I Iopkins and the University of Maryland. Up to 20 midshipmen can 

participate annually, starting graduate work during first-class (senior) year 

and completing their master's degree programs within seven months after 

graduation from the \iaval Academy. Fields of study are selected from 

avy-approved graduate education programs leading to Navy subspecialty 

qualification. 

Facilities 

From wmd tunnels to a nuclear reactor, we ha\'e outstanding facilities and 

equipment in e\'ery phase of our program. Several new academic buildings 

hilve opened in recent years, and older classrooms, labs and athletic facilities 

have been renovated to provide modern and comfortable areas for learning 

and recreiltion. 

Special Academic Facilities 

• propulsion lab 

• wind tunneb, both subsonic and supersonic 

• flight simulator 

• 120-foot and 380-foot towing tanks

• fully-equipped laboratories for chemistrv, physics, engineering, 

oceanography and foreign language courses 

Compute rs 

Computmg at the J aval Academy can be found in every academic 

department and administrati,e office. The Naval Academy has a goal of 

training midshipmen to be effective leaders and managers in an information 

technology-oriented Navy and Marine Corps. This necessitates that 

midshipmen, faculty and staff have the electronic tools for sophisticated 

research, synthesis and presentation of information. 

The academy's computer resources include: 

•the primary academic computing mainframe, a dual processor Honeywell 

DPS 8/ 62 ru nning the Naval Academy Timesharing System (a derivati,•e of 

the Dartmouth College Timesharing System) which will support over 300

Department of Mechanical Engineering 

Mechanical Engineering Major 

The mechanical engineering major. accredited b) the Engmeenng Accreditation Commission of 

the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. offers one of the most diversified 

engmeering programs a,·ailable at the :'\aval Academy. Students acquire a sound and balanced 

background in engineering fundamentals, science, mathematics and the humanities, while 

gaining theoretical and practical knowledge m·er the full spectrum o/ engmeering applications. 

Electi,·cs allow study of advanced concepts. Additional opportunities for development as an 

engineer ,,re offered through student chapters of engineering societies. 

Mechanical engineering ma1ors study under c,v,lian and mil1tarv instructors of ,·aried 

backgrounds and wide professional experience Laboratories in materials science, process 

control, solid mechanics, fluid d1'nam1cs and thermodynamics, and in other 111terd1sc1phnary 

fields. provide support. These include some of the finest undergraduate engmeering facilities in 

the countrv. Awarded a bachelor of science degree 111 mechanical engineering, graduates ha,·e a 

solid base for future graduate studies in engineering and for professional registration. 

A '\Jav1 or Manne Corps officer with a bachelors degree 111 mechanical cngmeering is well 

e,1uipped for a wide varlet,· of career assignments both ashore and anoal. Operational sea billets 

111 surfoce ships, submarine,s and aircraft squadrons provide man)' opportun11les for a 

mechanical engmeer lo develop practical expcnence in a warfare or engmeering spec1altv area 

while contributing to fleet engineering and material readiness. The operational ennronment 

enables a JLlllior officer lo rapidly develop sound leadership and managerial abilities wh1il• 

refinmg mechanical engmeering capabilities acquired at the '\Jarnl Academy. 

Ashore, the mechanical c-ngineer has a wide range of opportumties in subspec1alty billets with 

naval applications. The,e include such areas as ship and aircraft design, propulsion svstems, 

environmental svstems, ad,·anced engineering education, ma1or project management and 

Wl'apons s1·stems acqu1sll1on. Just as there 1s an abundant and continumg need for mechamcal 

engmeers throughout todays naval service, there 1s also great potential lor a sallsfying, 

rc\-varding and productive career.

Naval Architecture Major 

The na\'al architecture major 1s accredited b) the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the 

Accred1lat1on Board for Engmeenng and Technolngv. Th,:, ma1or is unhke most engineering 

d1sc1plines which are unified by the nature of the phenomena involved This niaior origmally 

came 111to bemg as a discipline because of a single end-product, the ship. A special combination 

of knowledge and c,perience 1s needed to develop, design, and build this smgle product. 

Variety exists not only in the kmds of work (design, research, cost-estimation, management), but 

also 111 the tl'pes of craft 111volvcd - from sailboats lo aircraft carriers, hydrofoil boats tu 

catamarans, and submarines to surface-eflect vehicles. 

'\a,·al architects use both art and engmcering 1n designmg ships. Armed with imagmat1on and 

experience, they convert functional requirements into a suitable, cost-effective design. They 

anal\'ze and select the best dimensions and hull form, calculate the power requirements, and 

estimate the weights of the prinopal components. They design and analyze the hull structure 

and decide on the locallon of militarv sub-svstems, machinery spaces, accommodatwns, and 

stores Addit1onallv, the ship must be divided into watertight compartments so that, 1f 

damaged, the chances of survival are ma~1mized We1ghmg and compromismg all such 

conflicting needs in the design of the ship are the creative and challeng111g responsib1ht1es ol the 

naval architect. 

'saval architecture at the Naval Academv approaches these topics 111 a fully integrated program 

of classroom sessions, hands-on laboratory work, field tnps, and the latest 111 computer-aided 

design and analysis techniques. Two towmg tanks, a c1rculatrng water channel and a stallc 

stab1lil\' tank are some of the many facilities available to midshipmen majoring Ill naval 

archllecture. A distmguished and 111noval1\'e faculty complement these outstanding facililles 

and contribute to making llm one of the finest undergraduate majors available 111 its field A 

bachelor of science 111 naval architecture is awarded

c'tn-ironment more effect1veh Bv blending the tundamentals of mathematic,, physic:,, materiab 

science• and oceanograph\ with the basic elements of nvil, mechanical and electrical 

l'ngmeering, the ocean engineer 1s able to applv this knowledge to ocean materials, power 

systems, acoustics, wa,·e mechamcs, life support s,·stems, ocean energ,· and a wide ,·ariety of 

ocean n.'hicles ,rnd offshore and coastal structures. 

The ocl'an en1;ineenng ma1or 1s accredited by the Engmeering Accreditation Commission of the 

Accred1tat1on Board for Engmeering and Technology The major offers an 111tegrated program of 

stud1·, utilizmg a balance between classroom theory, laboraton work and practical application

Department of Oceanography 

Oceanography Major 

The oceanography major is designed to give future naval officers practical and theoretical 

knowledge of the ocean environment and to build a sound academic foundation for future 

graduate study in any techmcal disciplme. An interdisciplinary science ma1or, oceanography 

involves the study of meteorology, geophysics, physics, chemistry, biology and geology as they 

relate to the effects of ocean environment on naval operations. Basic courses 111 these areas are 

prerequisites for more advanced oceanography and meteorology courses required by the maior 

or available electives. Students take courses in geophysical fluid dynamics, sound propagation 

in the ocean, the study of waves and tides and the use of satellites in oceanography. Courses in 

advanced biological oceanography offer a glimpse of the undersea world and its marine 

creatures; synoptic meteorology courses involve hands-on weather forecastmg experience using 

the latest tools a,·ailable 

\-lore than 25 percent of the required course load is within the oceanographv specialty. Other 

courses mclude advanced mathematics, a tool by which oceanographers describe the complex 

beha\'lor of the fluid environment 111 which they work. 

The Naval Academy boasts the most extensive undergraduate oceanographic facilities in the 

country. Located on the mouth of the Severn River, the Hendrix Oceanography Laboratory is a 

multi-function enclosure featuring a wet laboratory where students interact with the world's 

largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay. The academy's research vessel enables midshipmen to 

collect samples and oceanographic data afloat and deliver them to Hendrix Lab. Another 

laboratory complex 111 Rickover Hall houses the geological, biological, chemical, general 

oceanographic, and remote sensmg laboratories. The m\,'teorological laborntory has an on-line 

facsimile receiver to display charts from the l\1ational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 

direct access to the World Meteorological Organi,:ation's data network, a color weather radar, 

and a high resolution satellite receiver Students use all of these facilities in required courses as 

well as in their electives.

years. I le was one of five l\aval Academy graduates to participate in the 1988 

Olympics in Seoul, Korea. 

Thirty-six Navy varsity student-athletes were accorded All-America honors in 

1988-89. One, Thomas C. Popp of the water polo team, was awarded an 

NCAA postgraduate scholarship. Popp was a member of the U.S. National 

Water Polo Team in the summer of 1989, while Midshipman David Lowe was 

on the U.S. National Baseball Team. 

Over the years, Navy teams have been successful in both national and 

international arenas. Midshipmen football teams have participated in the 

Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Holiday, Garden State and Liberty Bowls, and 

Navy's rivalry with Army has become something of a national pastime. Jn 

1988-89, nine Navy teams won berths in NCAA championship competition. 

Na\'y heavyweight crews captured the Olympic gold medal for eight-oared 

shells at Antwerp, Belgium, in 1920, and in Helsinki, Finland, in 1952. Navy's 

heavyweight crew has won the Jim Ten Eyck Trophy at the Intercollegiate 

Rowing Association Championships three times in this decade, and the 

midshipmen have been four-time winners of the Head-of-the-Charles Regatta 

in recent years. Navy's women crews have won the Seitz Trophy at the Dad 

Vail Regatta the past three years. 

In 1976, a Naval Academy graduate, Captain Lloyd Keaser, USMC, won a 

silver medal in Olympic wrestling. 

Na,·y's pistol team recently completed a string of 57 straight wins and has 

won at least one of the three national titles in this sport in 14 of the last 15 

years.

The Naval Academy's sailing team gives midshipmen opportunities to 

develop leadership and seamanship skills through competition in numerous 

intercollegiate and private regattas. Competition ranges from single-handed 

Lasers to SO-foot ocean racers with acre\\' of 14. The academy sponsors many 

of these regattas, mcluding the vlcMillan Cup and the John F. Kennedy 

Memorial Regatta in yawls. There are dinghy regattas almost every weekend. 

From 1977-1983, the Naval Academy won the Fowle Trophy, emblematic of 

overall intercollegiate sailing supremacy in North America, an unprecedented 

feat in this sport. The trophy was \\'On again in 1987.

offered bv anv of tlw nation's sernce academies. You c,m. 
•specialize in surface warfare, with assignments m ships ranging from 

mmesweepers and hydrofoil patrol gunboats to guided missile cruisers and 

battleships. 

• enter the submarine service, with duty 111 nuclear powered attack and 

ballistic missile submarines. 

• flv a variety of aircraft from helicopters and shore-based patrol planes to 

supersonic, aircraft carrier-based jet fighters.

sophisticated weapons systems in locations around the world 

• command mfantry, am10r, artillery or aviation units as a \llarine Corps 

officer. 

•lead the most talented and highly motivated sailors and \llarines in the 

world, no matter what career path you choose. 

You choose your Navy or Marine Corps career field at the beginning of the 

second semester of your senior year or about five months before graduation. 

Midshipmen with the highest class standing have first choice, so options and 

choices of assignment may be affected by class rank as well as by personal and 

physical qualifications. However, every attempt is made to grant you the duty 

and location you request. 

137

Surface Warfare 

Surface warfare officers serve in every type of surface ship in the Navy. When 

you select surface warfare, you have the opportunity to choose the type of 

ship and home port of your first duty assignment. Then, after graduation from 

the academy, you attend a fou r-month Surface Warfare Officer School in 

'\lewport, RI, or Coronado, CA, before reporting to your ship. Your first tour 

of duty lasts about 30 months. 

A new ensign typically serves as a division officer, with responsibilities for 

leading 12 to 50 enlisted personnel and directing a portion of the ship's 

equipment and operations. Typical positions include those of anti-submarine 

warfare officer, gunnery officer, communications officer and damage control 

assistant. In addition, you are expected to work toward qualification as 

combat information center watch officer, officer of the deck, and Navv surface 

warfare officer. · 

Submarine Force 

Those choosing the silent ser\'tce begin by studying avy nuclear propulsion 

after graduation as described below. You then go to avy Submarine School 

in New London, CT, for the 10-week submarine officers basic course. Your 

first tour of duty with an attack or neet ballistic missile submarine lasts about 

36 months. 

[n a nuclear submarine, junior officers lead divisions of 15 to 20 men. You 

have responsibilities in a vital area of operations such as engineering, 

weapons or communications. You also stand watches and work to qualify as 

engmeering officer of the watch, diving officer and officer of the deck - all 

steps towards earning the gold dolphins of a Navy submarine officer. 
Nuclear Propulsion 

The '-.avy's demanding and highly technical nuclear power trammg program 

1s among the best in the world. Those chosen for the program usually rank 

high 111 their class and have a solid background 111 scientific and technical 

courses, though not necessanly majors in these areas. 

\llldshipmen who choose surface warfare can join those choosing submarines 

111 pursumg a sub-specialty 111 nuclear propulsion systems. If you arc accepted 

into the nuclear power program, you report to Nuclear Power School in 

Orlando, rL, for six months of schooling following graduation from the 

academy. You then train for six months at one of several nuclear reactor 

prototype sites located throughout the country before reporting to your first 

ship. 

l\iearly all of the Navy's submarines arc nuclear po\\'ered. Nuclear surface 

ships include guided missile cruisers and aircraft carriers, and nuclear trained 

surface warfare officers alternate between these and conventionall) powered 

ships as they advance in their ca reers. 

avy Aviation 

Whether it's landing an F/ A-18 Hornet on the deck of an aircraft carrier, 

huntmg a Soviet submarine in the North Atlantic or maneuvering a helicopter 

m a rescue operation, \lavy aviators are constantly called upon to perfonn 

under pressure. When you choose this career path, you can select training as a 

pilot or a naval flight officer. Pilots fly aircraft while naval flight officers serve 

as bombardiers, navigators, radar and electronic intercept officers and 

antisubmarine warfare systems specialists. 

119 
140 

After graduation from the academy. all those choosing aviation report to 

Pensacola, FL, for basic flight training. Then pilot trainees move on to 

Meridian, MS; Corpus Christi, TX; or Beeville, TX; depend111g on the type of 

aircraft they've chosen. Naval flight officers remain in Pensacola for their 

training. You receive your wings after an 18- to 24-monlh training period. You 

are assigned lo your first squadron after a six- to eight-month indoctrination 

tour in a replacement air group. 

Besides flying, Navy aviators have significant collateral responsibilities from 

their very first duty assignment. i\:ew officers typically are charged with 

leading a group of aviation enlisted personnel and oversee111g an aspect of the 

aircraft squadron's operations, administration, personnel management or 

aircraft maintenance. 

Marine Corps 

Up to one-sixth of each graduating class may elect to be commissioned as 

second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. After graduation from the academy, 

you attend the basic school, a 23-weck course for officers at Quantico, VA. 

This school gives all Marine officers a common background in the tactical 

study of land warfare. Then you go on to advanced training in a particular 

occupational specialty based on your qualifications and preferences. 

Marine Corps career fields include those in the two basic categories of ground 

and air. Ground career choices include infantry, am1or, artillery, logistics, 

engineering, data processing and communications. Aviation choices include 

pilot, naval flight officer, air command and control, anti-air warfare, aviation 

maintenance and aviation supply. 

In their first assignments, Marine Corps second lieutenants generally are 

assigned as platoon commanders with leadership responsibilities for 20 to 25

Restricted Line Specialties 

If you are not physically qualified to serve in the unrestricted Line but still are 

phvs1cally qualified to be an active duty officer, you can choose from a wide 

variety of alternatives and pursue a career all the way to the flag officer ranks 

of admiral and general. Restricted line and staff corps officers make careers in 

the fields of mtell1gence, cryptology, oceanography, geophysics, medicine, 

engineering, supplv, aviation maintenance, salvage and rescue, and public 

affairs. They serve aboard ships, with aircraft squadrons and at shore bases 

around the world.

Assignments for Women Officers 

As a woman officer in the Navy and Marine Corps many options are open to 

you to serve in assignments vital to our national defense. You may fly planes 

as ii pilot or naval flight officer, or drive ships as ii surface warfare officer. 

Following training, you would be assigned aboard a variety of Navy support 

ships including combat logistics ships such as oilers, tenders and supply ships 

or in aircraft that would not be expected to perform combat missions. Women 

officers are also eligible for temporary assignments (up to six months) to any 

ship, including combatants, if a combat mission is not envisioned during the 

temporary duty period. 

Many women graduates are commissioned in the general unrestricted line 

and choose U.S. and overseas shore duty assignments in communications, 

cryptology, administration, public affairs, personnel, education and training, 

international relations or other areas. Women may also enter restricted line or 

staff corp specialties such as diving operations, oceanography, intelligence, 

supply or civil engineering. 

You also may choose to enter the Marine Corps. Women Marine Corps officers 

can be assigned to all career fields available to male officers except those that 

could place them in combat situations. Occupational specialties open to 

women include supply, administration, communications, public affairs, law, 

data processing and air control.

After Your First Tour of Duty 

By the time you complete your first tour of duty, you'll probably have a 

pretty good idea about your career goals, and the l\:a\'y and Marine Corps 

will give you every opportunity to ach1e,·e them. You will have assignments 

to prepare you for advancement and command of a surface ship, submarine, 

aircraft squadron, Marine Corps unit or an organization ashore. 

l\.aval officers alternate between tours of duty with shore-based units and 

operational commands that deploy overseai in support of our nation's 

maritime strategy You also have the opportunity for postgraduate study, 

ad\'anced technical trairnng m your specialty, and coursework at military 

sen·ice colleges in leadership, management, tactics, strategy, politico-military 

affair~ and international relations. You never stop learning, e,·en as your 

responsibilities for people, operations and policy-making increase.

Organization 

.. 

' 

The a val Academy is organized much like a civilian college. A board of 

visitors, similar to a college board of trustees, makes major polic} 

decisions. The academy's superintendent, a Navy rear admiral, is the 

equivalent of a college president in that he oversees all of the school's 

functions. 

The superintendent's principal deputies include a civilian academic 

dean, who oversees the academic program and the faculty, and the 

commandant of midshipmen, a Navy captain who serves as dean of 

students and supervisor of all military and professional training. 

The superintendent, commandant, academic dean and academic division 

directors sit on the academic board, which sets the academy's academic 

standards. The \Java! Academy's 600-member faculty is composed of 

about equal numbers of civilian scholars and experienced military 

officers. The ci,·ilian professors give the academic program contmuity 

and a foundation of scholarship and teaching experience. The officers, 

who rotate e,·ery two or three years, bring fresh e"periences and ideas 

from operational and staff assignments in the Navy and Ylarine Corps.

ilt'<'S of n/1 midsl1111111en 

The basic m1ss1on of the academv 1s to prepare midshipmen morally, menlallv and 

phvsically lo be officers in the naval service. The academic dean overseas the 

academic curriculum, but the remainder of the non-book learning education is my 

responsibilitr I am accountable for evervthing havmg to do with the lives of the 

midshipmen 

Technically, I am commandmg officer of the -1,500 midshipmen, and this 

responsibilitv is fa1rlv all-encompassing. We are different from Harvard or Stanford, 

obviouslv; we wear uniforms, we live in a n1ilitarv enviromnent. But we are also 

different from other colleges because of the varie~· of activities and demands on 

midshipmen. We expect midshipmen to be full) accountable -- they have company 

commanders, platoon commanders and regimental commanders; they administer 

themselves 

·we ask a lot of our midshipmen. We are alwavs challengmg them, preparing them 

for a future as na"al officers. It take, a special person to meet those challenges -

someone who 1s well-rounded, not just an academician. \Ve want people of high 

integrity, who can make dec1s1ons, 1vho are action-oriented, who are physically fit. 

\Ve want people who can step up to bat, people with the mental toughness to go the 

distance tor something they believe is right. people with a wide range of mterests 

who are able to do lots of things at once ·

Appendix A: Medical Considerations 

The Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DODMERB) 

in Colorado Springs, CO, schedules your medical examination and evaluates 

your medical condition very carefully before you can be offered an 

appointment to the Naval Academy. This is to determine whether you have a 

medical or p hysical condition that might interfere with, or be aggravated by, 

the academy's rigorous program or bar you from unrestricted service as a 

naval officer. 

Medical considerations are summarized here so that you and your physician 

and dentist can estimate whether you meet the basic requirements for 

admission to the academy. This is NOT a comprehensive listing of all 

disqualifying conditions, but rather a brief and general guide for your 

convenience. 

Waivers 

Some medical requirements can be waived for candidates who otherwise are 

verv promising. The report of your medical examination is reviewed carefully 

and you receive a written summary of the results. If you have a disqualifying 

condition but would like us to consider your application further, you may 

request a waiver of the standard by writing to the admissions board. 

DODMERB then may ask you to provide amplifying information on the 

condition or to undergo evaluation by a medical specialist. DODMERB 

reviews all of the available information and may seek independent review and 

an advisory opimon from the staff of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery in 

Washington. If your condition may be waived, and not all conditions may, 

your entire record is reconsidered by the adm1Ss1ons board. The board grants 

a waiver if your record suggests you have greater potential for success as a 

midshipman and a naval officer than do competing candidates who are 

physically qualified. 

Medica l History 

DODMERB will review vour medical history for information on illnesses, 

injuries, surgery, familial· diseases and other factors which could affect your 

physical condition. You might be asked to submit additional reports from 

physicians or hospitals. Correctable problems, including dental defects, 

should be taken care of before your examination for the .Naval Academy. 

Eyes and Vision 

This is the most common problem area for candidates. Our basic requirement 

for admission is normal (20/ 20) uncorrected visual acuity in each eye. The 

adm1ss10ns board automatically considers waiver of the visual acuity standard 

for candidates who are otherwise physically qualified, who have exceptional 

scholastic and leadership potential, and who meet the following additional 

requirements: 

• vision corrects to 20/ 20 in each eye with eyeglasses (not contact lenses). 

• refractive error does not exceed 6.00 diopters in any meridian in either 

eye. 

• astigmatism is 3.00 diopters or less in both eyes.

reduced mast1catory (chewmg) or incisal (bitmg) efficiency must be replaced 

bv weU-dcs1gned bridges or partial dentures in good condition. If you are 

undergoing active orthodontic treatment, you will be automatically 

disqualified Howe,·cr, you may request a wa1,·er, if treatment will be 

completed prior to ,·our entry into the Naval Academy.

Concluding Comments 

,\s ,·ou \\'Ill reah e from the foregomg sum mar., the phys1C,1l e,am111atit1n tor 

,1dm1ss10n to the \.,wal Acadenn- is comprehcnsi,·c and the medical and 

dental stanlfards are e,,1etmg. Thb is necl.'ssarv because our goal is that l'\'Cr\' 

midshipman \nil be able to anticipate unrl'stncted opportumties tor 

comm1ss1oncd sl.'rncl' after gradu,1tion. For most candidates, the phvs1Cal 

examination process \\'ill require no more than a single , ,.,,1 to a phvsicinn s 

and a dent1sf., office. For others, questions \\'ill anse \\'h1ch may necessitate a 

vanetv of add1t10nal e,·aluations. \\e kno\, this can become llmc-consummg. 

but \\'e hope you \\'Ill undcr'.>tand the reason for concern. The qucstmns 

rt•soln~ fa\'nrabl\· tor the ma1ority of candidates. Staff members at 00D\ffRB 

and 111 thl' admi-.s1ons oflicc "'ill ,1ss1st in e,·ery \\'a\· possible.
