The Choice is Yours! 

0 ne of our more perceph\'e midshipmen was asked what advice he 

might give to a candidate who 1s applying to the aval Academy. 

His response might interest you "It all boils down to your 

motivation You have to want USNA for yourself Don't come here for the 

prestige of the Academy, or for the free education And don't come if you 

are pushed by parents, or fnends, or relatives If you want to challenge 

yourself beyond your believable limits, both mentallv and phys1cally, and if 

you want to achieve something of which you can be trul) proud, then this 

may be the place for vou " Mohvation 1s certainly an essential key to success 

at the Naval Academy, but it 1s also important to know 1ust what this 

institution stands for and what 1t has to offer. 

You can expect to get a first-rate education here while choosing among eight 

engineering, six science, and four humanities ma1ors Your speafic ma1or 

does not have to be selected until the spring of your plebe (freshman) year 

The opportunity exists to play on one or more of the twenty-two men's or 

nine women's varsity teams against some of the best competition in the 

country, take part m over e1ghtv other stimulahng extracurricular activities, 

and sail in Navy ships overseas dunng the summer 

You can decide to serve on the ground or fly as a Marine officer, tram as a 

naval aviator or flight officer, or become a surface ship or submarine officer 

with a unique opportunity to studv and gam experience m nuclear power 

If you are a woman, any duty a\'a1lable to men 1s open to you except for 

permanent assignments that might place you m a combat s1tuahon. o other 

military institution offers such a wide range of options. 

If you have done well with the opportunities available to you both m and 

outside of school, are physically active and en1oy a vigorous and challenging 

life, there 1s a high likelihood you will succeed at the Naval Academy 

This 1s the opportunity of a lifetime. I ha\'e found it to be exciting, rewarding 

and fulfilling for more than twenty-fi,·e years. I wish I could do it all over

t you ha

_

, e p1d.ed up 

.

this catalog and thumbed through 1t this far,

presumablv you have at least some interest in the Naval Academy. 

Perhaps 11 is only a fleeting one prompted by curiosity. Or, concei\'ably, 

your interest could be a deeper one and you could be thinking of attempting 

lo obtain an appointment to the Academy In any case, it is reasonable that 

you should want to ask questions about it. What can Annapolis offer me

that other schools cannot7 What will the Naval Academy expect of me? What 

will! get out of 1t in the long run? In short, why should I consider the Naval 

Academv in making my plans for the vears ahead? The paragraphs below 

are an attempt to provide brief, ob1ective answers to those questions. 

Service to Country 

We should be franJ... about this from the beginning. The purpose of the Naval 

Academy 1s to prepare young men and women to become professional line 

officers in the Navy or Manne Corps. Nothing else But no one asks that 

you come to Annapolis with your mind made up that you want to be a career 

officer in the naval service. This commitment, 1f it is to come, develops in 

due time lt 1s considered necessary, however, that you arrive here free of 

preconceived goals toward some entirely different area of endeavor. If your 

pnmal) interest lies in such fields as law, education, medicine, nursing, the 

ministry, ecology, etc., the Naval Academy is simply not the place for you. 

Before deciding to come to Annapolis, you should clearly understand and 

accept that you will be educated and trained here for service to your nation. 

You should be prepared lo undertake the challenges of the four-year 

curriculum and to serve as an officer in the Navy or Marine Corps for five 

years after graduation. And you should have an open mind as to your future 

after that five years. Dedication to the idea of service to your country must 

be high among your reasons for coming to Annapolis 1f you hope to succeed 

and 1f you are to fully justify taking your place in the entering class. 

Education 

A sound college education is the foundation for every profession in our 

society The naval profession is no excephon. The Naval Academy, since its 

founding in 18-15, has been dedicated to providing a sound education for its 

students In recent years, the growing complexity of the Navy, both in its 

internal technology and in the nature of its outside relationships, has

On youngster cruise you will stand the crew's watches on your ship, 

applying much of what you have learned in your professional courses during 

plebe year. Similarly, when vou go on your first class cruise during the 

summer preceding your last academic year at the Academy, you "tll have 

an opportunity to stand the watches of a Junior officer, applying again a 

portion of your professional training and education. And, once again, you 

may tram m U.S coastal waters or visit ports in Europe or the F.-ir East. 

The ties between practical work at sea and academic worl,.. at Annapolis 

are symbolic of the balance between trammg and education that 1s at the 

heart of the Annapolis program. 

Professionalism 

This is the word used at Annapolis today to express the commitment to 

excellence that has marked our program since the foundmg of the Naval 

Academy more than a century and a quarter ago It expresses man} things-­

but at the heart of II 1s the desire for service to country with which this 

chapter started. The midshipmen themselves have a good phrase they use 

when asked if a particular person should come to the Academy. They say, 

"You have to want it" That really says it all. 

It's up to you.

NAVAL CADET )011'1 A. I.E)EL'1E, 1885 

T

hrough the years 1845 to 1984, as the nation's responsibilities and 

need for sea power have grown, the

. 

Navy has increa�ed greatly in 

size and complexity Keepmg pace, m peace and war, from sail lo 

steam, and into the nuclear age, the Naval 1\cademv has responded to every 

challenge, improving its facilities and re\'iSing its program and curriculum 

as necessary to provide the timely, second-to-none professional leadership 

expected m the United States Na,·: 

The Naval Academy was founded as the '\Java! School 111 1845 by the 

Honorable George Bancroft, distinguished historian and educator, and Secretary of the Navy m President James K. Polk's Cabinet. It was located in 

Annapolis, Maryland, on the 10-acre site of the Army's nearly abandoned 

Fort Severn, where the Severn River empties mto the Chesapeake Ba,·. 

Commander Franklin Buchanan was the first Supermtendent of the aval 

School. His seven-member faculty of four officers and three civilians taught 

gunnery, naval tactics, engmeering, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, 

French, and English. The course of study was five years: the first at Annapolis, 

three at sea, and back to the School for the fifth. Sixty midshipmen, comprising 

two classes, attended the Academy's first convocation. 

In 1850-51, the Na,al School was reorganized as the U.S. Naval Academy, 

and the course of study was reduced to four academic years. Summer training 

cruises provided the m1dsh1pmen with seagoing experience lo augment their 

classroom work. Thus, the forerunner of today's basic four-vear curriculum 

and summer cruise program first appeared at the Naval Academy well over 

100 years ago. 

The forerunner of today's Board of Visitors first met at the Academy in 

1851 During the Civil War, the Brigade of l\!idshipmen was mo,·ed temporarily to the more secure surroundings of Newport, Rhode Island. Following 

the war, the Brigade returned to Annapolis to stay. During these early years, 

the Academy was one of the few institutions 111 America offering a sophisticated, technical undergraduate program. In 1879, this excellence was 

recognized by the Paris Exposition in the form of a certificate for the "Best 

System of Educahon m the United States." 

In the late 1870's, Lieutenant Albert A. Michelson, a graduate of the Class 

of 1873, performed his world-famous measurement of the velocity of light 

while serv

ing as an instructor in the Academy's Department of Physics and 

Chemistrv. Michelson continued his brilliant scientific work after leaving the 

Navy, and, in 1907, he became the first American scientist to receive a Nobel 

Prize The supreme compliment was paid by Albert Einstem who once

Mahan, whose profound writings on seapower and its 111nuences on h1storv

I !all is named in his honor.

Academy JOinmg the succession of graduates who have ser"ed with d1shnctton 

m peace and war for over 100 years. Admirals Dewey, 51ms, l-..111g, Nimitz, 

Halsey, Spruance, and Burke and Marine Commandants Lejeune, Russell. 

Greene, and Cushman have earned their place in histon So, also ha,·e 

astronauts Shepard, Schirra, Lovell, Carr, Stafford, and Anders. Admiral 

Hyman G Rickover, "father of the nuclear Naq·" and a 1922 graduate of 

Annapohs for whom Rickover Hall---our recently completed engmeenng 

complex-has been named personified the Navy's nuclear power program 

for a generation. And, highest honor of all, a 1946 graduate, Jimm) Carter, 

was America's 39th President The successors to these graduates. preparing 

to meet a new generation of challenges, are here as m1dsh1pmen today. 

Following accreditation of the 1aval Academy 111 1930 by the l\ssoc1ation 

of American Umvers1ttes, a Congressional la" was passed 111 1932 authoriz111g

Yard and Facilities 

Long recognized as ont· of the most beautiful of our historic institutions 

along the eastern seaboard, the Naval Academy was designated a U.S. 

National Historical Landmark m 1963 b,· the Federal government Each vear, 

m·er one mtllton visitors tour the grounds and buildings of the Academy. 

Everyone 1s welcome during da\'light hours and a ,·isitors' ser\'ice providing 

guided tours. maps, and information is a,·ailable \nnapolis is less than an 

hour's dri\'e from Washington, D.C., or Baltimore, Marvland. 

Ph,·s1cal and academic facilities ha, e kept pace with the demands of the 

curriculum and the Fleet. Fort Se\'ern's ongmal ten acres have grown to 

today's 122 acres Much of this new acreage has resulted from a series of 

landfills m the Se,·ern Ri,·er \ landfill completed in 1959 added 56 acres for 

athlettc fields and new buildings. Construclton of a number of buildings in 

use toda, including our chapel se,·eral ac<1dem1c buildings and core areas 

of Bancroft Hall, the m1dsh1pmen's dorm1tor\', began in 1899 with a Congressional appropriation of ten million dollars. Ernest Flagg was the architect; 

the st) le french Renaissance 

Ensuing yer1rs saw lhc addition of new wings to Bancroft Hall; the 

constructton of l\.litscher Hall, contammg an mter-fa1th chapel a (haplain s

completed in 1965. 

Beneath the chapel's towering dome, hes the cr\'pt of John Paul Jones, 

"the father of the American Navv " Throughout the Yard stand other 
monuments and mementoes commemorating the deeds of our great na\al 

heroes and honoring the Navy's finest traditions. 

Currenth•, a maior campus-wide construction and rehabilitation plan nears 

completion Ke1 structures completed 1n this plan include the science building, 

t..lichelson Hall, and the ad1oining mathematics building, Chauvenet Hall. 

both completed in 1968. Overlooking the Severn river, the 650,000-volume 

capacity Nimitz Library was completed in 1973. An adiacent engineering 

building and laboratory complex, Rickover Hall, was completed in 1975. 

New-to-the-walls interiors, including completely modern classrooms and 

laboratories, have been provided in Maury, Sampson, and Luce Halls. A full 

range of facilities and services for student and faculty research, computeraided education, and educahonal television is available throughout the 

academic complex. All academic areas are air-conditioned. 

In recent years, privately donated funds from friends and alumni have 

given us our Robert Crown Center (donated by the Crown family), home ot 

the Intercollegiate Sailing Hall of Fame and new waterfront headquarters for 

our sailing program These funds have also provided a beautiful activity 

center (student union) in Dahlgren Hall, formerly an armory, which includes 

an indoor ice skating rink, a cafeteria, lounges, and game rooms. 

Construction of our newest athletic complex, Lejeune Hall, featuring 

Olympic-style swimming and diving facilities and a six-ring wrestling arena, 

was completed ad1acent to the Field House in 1982. Macdonough J !all, our 

oldest multi-purpose athletic complex, has been redesigned and is currentlv 

being rebwlt from the walls in. Completion is scheduled for 1985. 

The center for daily living is multi-winged Bancroft Hall, one of the largest 

dorm1ton complexes in the world Stretching over many acres, it house� 

and prondes a1r-cond1tioned dining facilities for the entire 4,500-member

ANONYMOUS MIDSHIPMAN 

T

he Naval Academy is charged with the responsibility of preparing 

midshipmen for service as commissioned officers in the U.S. Navv or 

Manne Corps. In fulfillment of this responsibility, the staff and faculty 

must ensure not only that the academic and professional programs are firstrate but also that midshipmen are prepared morally and physically for the 

rigors of commissioned service. This 1s a fourfold mission that requires careful 

organization and a clear set of priorities. 

During the academic year, first priority 1s given to studies, and each 

midshipman has ample time for out-of-classroom study and research On 

weekdays, following the last class of the day, midshipmen participate 111 

intramural or varsity sports and other extracurncular activities. 

During the summer months, the emphasis swings to professional training, 

and upperclassmen engage in a program of summer cruises al sea or in 

indoctrination visits and traming at selected naval shore activities. Upperclassmen also enJoy an extended leave period during the summer. 

Moral Development 

Moral development is a unique and Yitai part of the Naval Academy's fouryear program. There is an Honor Concept to support and live by. Its standards 

are high and unequivocal, and every midshipman is expected to measure 

up. 

Our entering midshipmen reflect a composite of feelings, attitudes, and 

beliefs, all mterrelated and all dependent upon previously developed sets of 

personal values. Whatever their backgrounds, an established moral base for 

decisionmaking ,s presumed for all new midshipmen. But a real test lies 

ahead. For here, as future officers, midshipmen must constantly examme 

and evaluate their individual values in the clear Light of the ethical requirements of the naval service. 

It 1s assumed at the Naval Academy that midshipmen will not lie, cheat, 

or steal, but much more is demanded. Midshipmen are taught formally and 

by example to recognize the common good, to build a community which 

shares concern for ,ts members, and to make difficull ethical choices. They 

learn to do their duly, to take careful oversight of their subordinates, and to 

meet high standards of moral leadership on all occasions. This life-stance is 

developed and tested throughout the Academy's military, educational, and 

athletic programs. Fxperience, moral responsibility, personal growth: Our 

graduates are better officers because of it

Organization 

1 o accomplish the uniqueh militar, aspects of the i',;aval Academy's mission, 

the student bodv is organized into the Brigade of Midshipmen The Commandant of \11dsh1pmen, a commodore or a senior Nan captain, commands 

the Brigade He 1s responsible for mstillmg high ideals of duty, honor and 

lovalt,, for prondmg military indoctrination and phvs1cal development; and 

for mculcatmg m1dsh1pmen with the desire to achieve the high standards of 

performance required of midshipmen and officers of the naval serYice. In 

carrying out these responsibilities the Commandant is assisted by an immediate staff of officers, designated the Office of the Commandant and h fi,·e 

subordmate departments or groups of officers. The departments reporting 

to the Commandant include the Dinsion of Professional De,·elopment, the 

Bngadt• Officers, the Physical Education Department, the Brigade Chaplains, 

and the :,.1idshipmen Supph Department 

lhe Brigade Officers consist of si, battalion officers, officers of the grade 

of Nan· commander or �larine Corps lieutenant colonel, and 36 company 

officers composed of Na,·y lieutenants and lieutenant commanders and 

\lclnne Corps captams and ma1ors. These officers work in close daily conta,t

Bancroft Hall (affechonatel) known as "�!other B' ) houses the entire 

Brigade of M1dsh1pmen The maJority live two or three to a room In each of 

the 36 company areas in Bancroft Hall there is a wardroom for informal 

meetings, reading, or watching tele\·ision. Fleet Admiral Ernest J King Hall, 

a large a1r-cond1t1oned dining hall extending seaward from Bancroft liall, 

accommodates the enllrt• Brigade, famil\'-st\'le, for meals. Also included 111

Years of Development 

The incommg midshipmen are officially designated m1dsh1pmen fourth class, 

but are traditionally known as plebes In succeeding years, they become 

third classmen or youngsters, then second classmen, and finallv, in their 

senior year, midshipmen first class 

Plebe Year. The new midshipmen undergo a comprehensive program of 

m1htarv trammg and mdoctrination from the dav the\' enter m early July 

until th!.' end of their plebe vear the following Mav. Demands upon them 

and upon their spare time, all with good reason, seem ne\ er-ending. 

M1dsh1pmen quickly discover during this period what 1t means to be junior 

to all and under constant super\'lsion and guidance. Plebe indoctrinahon is 

administered bv m1dsh1pmen of the first class, assisted by the second 

classmen, and closely super\'lsed by the Commandant and the Bngade 

Officers. 

Although some form of military training 1s found at many American 

colleges and universities the rigorous routmes and challenges of a vear-long 

plebe indoctrinahon system are umque to the sen ice academies. Complementing other phases of midshipmen traimng and educatton, the svstem 

directly supports the Naval Academy's mission by hastening the development 

of leadership abilities and an understandmg of the militarv ennronment Its 

aim is to teach each plebe to 

Exercise self-discipline, 

Organize time and effort effectively, 

Perform efficiently under stress, 

Think and react quickly with good judgement, 

Exhibit an exemplary mjJitary bearing and appearance. 

Plebe year 1s designed to test and develop. It 1s a demanding period, 

requiring m1dsh1pmen to stand on their own feet, to produce under pressure 

to respond promptly and intelligently to orders and, final!�, to measure up 

to the highest standards of character, honor, and moraht\'. 

The first day of plebe sun,mer is a day that most m1dsh1pmen will remember 

forever This is scarcely surprismg, for in one schedule-crammed da\, ch titans 

are transformed into m1dsh1pmen and begin ad1usting to a strange and 

challenging way of hfe. It's quite a shock.. They are gi\'en haircuts, wince 

throuth innoculat1ons, fill out forms and more forms, and don newh issued 

umforms; they learn to square their hats and to stand straight, to respond 

to ordl.'rs, to stay in step while marchmg, and to salute, and they e,penence 

their first meal in King Hall. the \'ast m1dsh1pmen s wardroom 

The pace continues--relentlessh-mto the afternoon By earl\' evening 

right hands raised, comes a sobering pause for the Oath of Office Ceremony 

in Tecumseh Court: "I having been appointed a midshipman m the 

Umted States NaYy, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and 

defend " 

Congratulations are in order, but there's little time to enjoy them A brief 

visit with families and friends ends and Bancroft Hall silent!\ sw,1llows up 

another new class of m1dsh1pmen as the:, head for evening meal formahon.

If anything, the achon picks up following supper. Upperclassmen seem to 

be everywhere in Bancroft hall-giving orders, instruchng, challenging every

�tep-as plebes struggle to stay afloat in their strange new home Sun'l\'al 

becomes a problem. Finally, the day (still the first?) ends. Taps: it's 10:15, 

time to collapse into bed. 

Reveille Jars everyone back to reality. It is 5:45 the next morning. "Another 

day in which to excel," as they say around here. And so 1t goes; there's no 

letup in sight. Days blur into weeks through the hot summer. Civilian ways 

and davs soon seem far behind 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic 

skills in seamanship, navigahon, and signaling. Infantry drill, firing a 45 

calibre pistol and the M14 rifle, sailing Navy yawls, handling minesweeping 

launches (MSL's), and participahng in a rigorous physical conditioning 

program contribute to making each midshipman a proudly versatile individual Team spint and the desire to win are developed through competihon in 

a wide range of activltles, including athletics, dress parades, seamanship 

drills, and talent shows. 

Plebe summer terminates in mid-August with Parents' Weekend, when 

parents of the new midshipmen have the opportunity to visit the Academy 

and en1oy the weekend with their sons and daughters A dress parade, 

exhibitions in sports, dining in King Hall, sailing with their midshipmen, 

and the opportunity to meet academic faculty and company officers help 

assure parents that their sons and daughters are taking their new life at 

Annapolis m stnde. 

Upperclassmen return from at-sea training, leave, and other summer 

activities the following week. Plebe summer is over, but plebe indoctrination 

continues. The academic year gets underway. Four years of studies have 

begun, paced by a demanding daily schedule

to participate in varsity and intramural athletics and in other extracurricular 

and personal activities.

September brings the excitement of football and other fall sports During 

the football season, selected units of the Bngade travel to out-of-town games. 

The enhre Brigade attends home games, and, at the end of the season, travels 

to Philadelphia (Rose Bowl, 1983) for the annual donnybrook with the Black 

Kmghts of the Hudson, the cadets of West Point. 

December examinations end Lhe first semester, and midshipmen of all 

classes depart on an extensive Christmas leave. This provides plebes with 

the first opportumty to visit their homes since their arrival at the Naval 

Academv in early Jul), and gives all midshipmen a welcome break in the 

academic rouhne Leave ends and classes resume m mid-January. Mid-term 

examinations in early March are followed by a week of leave for all classes. 

Later m March, following extensive counseling, plebes begin selecting their 

maiors Studies end with examinations m early-May. Following a short leave, 

midshipmen return for graduation (Commissioning Week) m mid-May-a 

week-long round of parades, ceremonies, dances, concerts, sailing, and other 

tradihonal year-ending Naval Academy activities. 

The approaching end of plebe year brings mixed emotions. A feeling of 

relief that it 1s almost over-yes; yet, at the same time, there are well-deserved 

feelings of confidence and pride that the challenge has been met. And

Third Class Year. Follo,Hng graduation of the senior class, newly mrnted 

third classmen depart on a month or more of training at sea with the Fleet, 

accompanied by m1dsh1pmen of the first class. The summer includes about 

30 days of leave. 

During their first taste of life al sea in the 1\.av), the midshipmen come to 

know and respect the Nan's and Manne Corps' enlisted men whom they 

v. ill later wmmand and upon whom the\ will depend as officers. Third

dassmen serve in man) capacities and actively participate rn a wide range

of shipboard operallons !he\' stand deck, gunnen-, operations, and eng1-

neenng watches, operate ship's boats, and exercise at general sh1pboard

drills

With the completion Llf at-sea trai111ng and summer leave, third classmen 

return to the Academy for their second academic year and begin work in 

their ma1ors And, although the new \'ear brings additional military responsibilities, the lessened emphasis on indoctrination lea\·es more time for studies 

and for sports and other extracurric.:ular acth·ities It is a welcome and 

deserved change of pace! 

Following completion ol academic stud res for their third class year and the

The Honor Concept 

A total commitment to the highest standards of honor dut}, and responsibility 

is a \'Ital goal m each midshipman's pwtess1onal de\'elopment at Annapolis. 

Here, the Honor Concept of the Brigade ol Midshipmen plays a ke) role. By 

providing gu1dmg precept<;--a set of principles to li,·e b,·, rather than a set 

ot regulahons-the Honor Ctmcept sets forth high standards of integrity for 

all midshipmen and guides them in measuring up to these standards in 

l'\'ervda, situations. 

There 1s s1mpl) no place at the Naval Academy for lving, cheating, or 

steahng. V1ul,1t1ons usuall) lead to d1sm1ssal The loncept makes this clear. 

But the Concept is more than an adm1111strative dence for dealtng with moral 

faalure at the l\aval ·\cadem). B, tostenng the development oi lastmg moral 

pr111upl<'s 1t becomes part and parcel ot the professionalism expected of our 

graduates as commissioned offitt'rs. 
rhe I lonor Concept is m1dshipman-conce1ved and supported -a liv111g,

Over 2,000 hours are de\'oted to building this loundahon durmg the four

Included 111 the program are lectures, practical traimng, physical education 

nd a vanet,· of evolutions and drills-both ashore and afloat-in which the 

midshipmen learn b,· domg Progressmg from ba�1c militan and naval 

knowledge to the presentation of more advanced mformation and concepts, 

the program supports and complements both the military life within the 

Bngade and the professionally oriented academic courses. A description of

Physical Education 

In supporllng the mission of the 0,a\·al A.cademy. the program of the Physical 

Education Department makes a vital contribution to the phvsical de\·elopment 

of midshipmen. The program continues throughout the four vears. All 

midshipmen participate. 

The program's aims are to de,·elop skill, confidence, teamwork, endurance, 

agilitv, and competitive spmt, to de,·elop useful habits of physical fitness, to 

develop the capability to train and instruct others; and to develop the 

background and capabilit: to withstand ph\'sical hardship. Equalh important, 

the program aims to be enJoyable, to provide a release from the academic 

rouhne, to develop a lasting appreciation for sports in general. and to develop 

individual skills in carry-o\·er sports for enjovment after graduation. 

Women parhcipate in the same ph\'s1cal fitness and ph\'sical education 

program as the men except that some ad1ustments are made 111 the program's 

content (no contact sports such as bo,ing wrestling, etc ) and the standards 

to be met bv women because of ph\'siological differences. 

The program gets off to a fast start dunng plebe summer Prehminarv 

testing of swimming capability and general athletic abiht, is followed by 

instruction and praLt1ce 111 boxing wrestling lacrosse fencing soccer 

gymnastics, crew, golf, tenm,,, squash, s\\ 1mming, and track. 

The pace continues during the first academic vear. Instruction is gi,·en in 

sw1mm111g boxing, wrestling. gymnastics golf personal conditioning squash 

rackets, soccer, tennis, and \'Olleyball In addition, midshipmen de\'elop their 

skills in basketball, handball, and bowling, and they are tested in applied 

strength, agility, swimming, boxing, wrestl111g, g)·mnast1cs, a mile run, and 

on the obstacle course. 

The final three vears prcl\'1de increasing!) ad\'anced instruct10n and demanding tests. For additional details of the Plwsical Education Department

V1CE ADMIRAL WILLIAM P MACK, U.S. N,\\'Y 

SUPERINTENDENT, 1972-1975 

0 urs is a com pie'< na\ al service-one whose ships range everv ocean, 

whose supersonic planes provided the training ground for AmerKa'<; first astronauts, whose nuclear submarines and surface ships 

are a test1mom to America's engineering gemus, whose leaders advise in 

the highest councils of government, . a service where Mannes stand 

second to none when tales of \·alor are told. Though ours 1s a vastlv 

complicated and technological sernce, the people 111 the Navy and Manne 

Corps are in the end, the all-important factor. Thus, it is a service which 

puts a high premium on leaders with vision, dedication, and ability It offers 

a profession with a proud past and a promising future, broad enough to 

provide a sllmulating challenge in a spectrum of interesting fields. 

After four mtens1ve and demandmg years of academic studies and professional training at Annapolis, Naval Academv graduates are fully read} to 

assume the responsibilities of an officer in the greatest Navy or Marine Corps 

in the world E\·en physicallv qualified graduate 1s commissioned 111 the 

unrcstncted hne of the Navv or the Marine Corps. Those physically 111eligible 

to accept these commissions ma} apply for a commission 111 various staff 

corps of the Navv, e.g., Supph Corps or in the various restricted line 

specialties, e.g., Engineenng Duty. 

Assignments for Women Officers 

Congressional leg1slat1on has amended the long-standing law that prohibited 

women from servmg onboard Nan• ships or aircraft that are or could be 

engaged 111 combat missions. This legislation permits women to serve as 

members of ship's company on a \'arietv of auxiliary ships (repa1r ships, 

research vessels, salvage ships, replemshment vessels) which do not 11or111allv 

perform a combat misswn Women officers are eligible ior temporary dutv 

assignment (less than 180 days) to a11y ship for which a combat mission 1s 

nt>t envisioned dunng the temporarv duty period. 

Nevertheless, even though this sigmficant change will allow women to go 

to sea in increasing numbers, the careeer patterns and dutv stations of 

women graduates of the Na\·al Academy are still different from their male 

counterparts. The limited number of non-combat related sea billets means 

that women ma\, 111 general, expect the ma1ority of their assignments to be 

ashore So although a percentage of women officer graduates from the Naval 

bl

Women accepting a commission in the \1arine Corps ma\' be assigned to 

anv dutv a\'ailable to male officers with the exception of those (infantr,, 

arirllery, tanks, combat 0ying, etc ) which may place them in a combat 

situatmn Some of the occupational specialties a\'ailable to women marines 

include suppl\', ad1utant (adm1nrstrat1on), communications, disbursing, public affairs, law, data systems (computers), and air control. 

First Duty 

A "\a\ al \cademv graduate's first career opportunity comes in the initial 

choice of duty. Midshipmen make this selection about three months before 

they graduate and rece1\'t! their commissions Career options a,·ailable-on 

l,rnd, sea, under the sea, and in the air-are b\' far the broadest offered b) 

anv of thL' sernce academies. The pnont,- assigned mdi\'idual dut\' preferences 

is dependent upon the needs of the se1T1ce and the indindual's class standing 

and physical and other personal qualifications. E,·ery attempt is made to 

assign graduates to the duty and localitv the,· request. 

J'he principal du!) assignments for the 1062 (1010 men, 52 women) members

Graduate programs leading to the ad,·anced degrees .ire availablt• to a small

available to all officers later in their careers Normally these special programs 

1,HI follow an initial tour of sea duty Prospectil'e aviators may elect to go 

d1rectlv to fl ight school or they may go to sea with the Fleet for two years 

before entering flight training. 

One out of every six Annapolis graduates may volunteer for appointment 

in the Marine Corps as a second lieutenant. Those accepting commissions in 

the Marine Corps will spend 21 weeks at the Basic School a school for 

officers, run by officers After this familiarization training, the Marine 

lieutenant will receiYe formal training in the occupational specialty he or she 

is quahhed for and chooses. Career field chmces include infantn, armor, 

tanks, artillery, intelligence, logistics, engineers, air command and control, 

data processing, supply, and communications. upon completion of traming, 

the lieutenant will be assigned to a regular Marine Corps unit. 

Officer Career Patterns 

Within the framework uf the needs of the service, officers determme their 

own career patterns to a significant degree through their requests for 

assignments afloat and ashore, advanced studies, and, of course, bv personal 

peformance After the initial tour, most young officers hal'e a tairh well 

de,·eloped idea of what specialt� thev would lil-..e Lo follow Linc officers seek 

operational assignments that will prepare them for command of a surface

serve in a number of ships or aircraft squadrons in different capadlies, as 

well as in staff and planning billets, afloat and ashore, in the IJrnted States 

and overseas. 

Graduate studies and repeated assignments within specialized fields provide lme officers with subspecialties \\'hich generally are e,ercised ashore 

These subspec,alhes mclude such varied fields as ship engineering, aeronautical engmeermg, management, mternahonal relations, and personnel administration 

While certam aspects of the career patterns of '\a\ v and \,fannc Corps 

officers are similar, U1ere are some significant differences Upon completion 

of the 21-week course at the Basic School and formal occupational specialty 

traming, the Marine lieutenant can expect to be assigned to Fleet 1\larine 

Force operaltonal units m the United States or in the Far East. Dunng this 

m1tial tour, the Manne officer serves 111 command and staff positions. 

Following this, the 'vlanne officer can expect assignments to Jobs outside his 

or her specialty, such as mdependent duty, barracks duty, recruiting duty, 

or dutv with other services or \\'ith a maior headquarters staff ;\s Manne 

Corps offic('rs advance in rank and experience, the\ find themseh·es receiving 

ad\ anced professional training al \'arious service schools, attending graduate 

schools, and assurrung greater responsibilities in command and staff positions. 

It 1s at once a satisfying and demanding life. The officers in the Na\·y or 

Manne Corps present many faces to the vvorld as they advance in seniorill': 

professional sailor, Manne, aviator, engmeer, manager, scientist, administrator, educator, d1plomal, Fleet commander. This 1s not just a job, but a 

way of life-a career dl'd1cated to the service of the Umted Statec, and its 

people, carrving with it high protessional prestige and opportun1t1es for 

broad experience, a career which rewards the industrious, the !oral. ,ind the 

imaginative. It is a career for those with a ,:ea! for strenuous hvmg, palnotism, 

and dedication to an ideal of real meaning \\'hich can be translated 1nlll a 

litellme of ad\'enture and service in the ;\.avy or \t1arinc Corps of the United 

States.

ach year, the aval Academy's Admissions Board selects approximately 1,300 candidates for admission to the plebe (freshman) class. 

They come from every state m the union and from backgrounds 

reflecting every facet of Amencan life. The Na\·al Academy encourages this 

diversity and recognizes the value and promise of a Bngade enriched by a 

membership representing every race, creed, color, and background found in 

llus nation Students from minority groups are strongh encouraged to apply 

for admission The number of minority students in recent entenng classes 

has risen sharply. The Class of 1987 included 183 midshipmen (about 13.5 

percent of the class) from raaal and ethnic minonties 

Certain general eligibility requirements for candidates do exist. Candidates 

must be of good moral character They must be at least 17 vears of age and 

must not have passed their 22nd birthday by 1 Juh in the year of admission. 

They must be unmarned, not pregnant, and have no children and, except 

for limited quotas of foreign midshipmen specifically authorized by Congress, 

must be citizens of the United States. 

Meeting these requirements, prospective candidates must then proceed to 

obtain a nomination; qualify scholastically, medically, and in physical aptitude; 

and be selected for entry. The Admissions Bbard examines each candidate's 

school records, SAT or ACT scores, recommendations from school officials, 

record of extracumcular activities, and other evidence of character, leadership 

potential, and academic aptitude and achievement Qualification for admission and competition for selection 1s based on all of the above factors. 

High School Program 

Candidates should pursue studies in high school that will prepare them for 

a rigorous college program The q11altty of the work is important. Eighty-two 

percent of the members of the class of 1987 ranked in the top 20 percent of 

theu high school classes Chances for admission are verv limited for those 

who stand below the top -10 percent \Yhile the Academ} does not have rigid 

requirements concerning the sub1ects which must be included in the school 

record, candidates are strongly encouraged to include the following sub1ects 

m their high school or prep school curriculum: 

Mathematics-four years, including trigonometrv, English four vears, Modern Language--two years, European or World History-one year, Chemistry-one year, Physics-one year

About 100 members of each plebe class will have had one or more semesters 

of college prior to admission to Annapolis. All such students must enter the 

Academy as plebes, however, and must complete the entire four-year 

program. Applicants must furnish transcripts of any college work they have 

taken. Again, the quality of the work is important. 

Precandidate Questionnaire 

Applicants should submit a Precandidate Questionnaire to the Naval Academy 

in the spring of their 11111ior year, or as soon thereafter as practicable. The 

Academy will open a preadmission file upon receipt of this questionnaire, 

and an initial evaluation will be provided to applicants by early summer. 

Information gathered in the preadmission file will also be used by the 

Academy to provide the applicant's Congressman with periodic status reports, 

including a preliminary evaluation of the applicant, results of the medical 

examination, and other information which may assist the applicant in being 

selected for a Congressional nomination. Precandidate Questionnaires should 

be requested from the Director, Candidate Guidance (SIC 304), U.S. Naval 

Academy, Annapolis, Maryland 21402. 

Candidate Guidance 

The Candidate Guidance Office in Leahy Hall at the Naval Academy provides 

counsel to young men and women who are interested in a career of naval 

service through Annapolis. Th.is office also coordinates the nationwide 

activities of some 1,500 selected Naval Reserve officers, not on active duty, 

and civilians who have been designated Naval Academy [nformation Officers. 

These officers are qualified to counsel applicants on all aspects of admission 

and are in close contact throughout the year with officials at Annapolis.

this catalog, applicants who have questions about the Academy or its 

admission procedures should write to the coordinator nearest them or to:

Congressional Nominating Procedures 

Ten candidates may be nominated for each vacancy a member of Congress 

has at the Naval Academy. Members of Congress may, at their discretion, 

use any of the following three nominating methods: Nominees may be 

designated as "principal," "1st alternate," "2nd alternate," and so on to 

"9th alternate"; they may be nominated as a principal with nine competitive 

alternates for evaluation by the Naval Academy; or they may simply be 

nominated as a slate of ten competitors to be evaluated and ranked by the 

Naval Academy for the vacancy. 

Whatever Congressional nominating method is used, the top candidate on 

the list who is found to be completely qualified for admission by the Academy 

1s appointed to fill the vacancy. But this does not mean that the other nine 

nominees are no longer considered. In fact, if pnrtiwlnrly well qualified, it is 

possible that they all may be selected for admission by the Academy as 

qualified alternates or competitors. It has happened. 

Admission of Qualified Alternates and Competitors 

Each year the Naval Academy selects for admission m.>ernl hundred (not 

otherwise selected for appointment) qualified Congressional-type alternate 

nominees (includes Vice Presidential, Samoa, Guam, etc.) and qualified 

competitive nominees (Presidential, ReguJar Navy and Marine Corps, NROTC, 

etc.) to bnng the entering class up to authorized strength. By law, the first 

150, plus three-fourths of any others so appointed, must be Congressionaltype nominees. No special application for these additional appointments is 

necessary, since nil qualified nominees are considered nuto111alical/y by the 

Academy's Admjssions Board. 

Admission of Women 

ln meeting the "needs of the service" for women officers, it is estimated that 

the Naval Academy will be authorized by the Navy to admit 105 women in 

the Class of 1989. The number of women who may be appointed from each 

of the existing sources oi nominations is proportional to the total number of 

appointments authorized by law for these sources. Women compete with 

men nominated from the same sources, except for children of Medal of 

Honor winners, who are admitted without limit if qualified. 
\\'omen who hold Congressional principal nominattons are admitted, if 

qu.ilified, unless tht' number ot women in line to rl'Cei\·e an appointment 

from Congress1onal-typl' sourCl'"' of appointment e'\ceeds the number ap· 

portioned to these sources (the> Vice President; U.S. Sl•nators and Representatives, Go\'ernors of Puerto Rico and American Samoa; Delegates from D.C., 

Guam and the Virgin Islands; ,1nd the Resident Commissioner of Puerto 

RICo) Ii this occurs, women who are qualified prinnpal candidates compete 

in order of merit with other l\'llmt•n who are in line to be offered Congrc>ssionaltype appointments, up to the number apportioned to these sourn:s. The

To be ehgrble for readmission, a candidate must not be past the 26th birthday 

on I July of the expected year of graduation from the Academy In addition 

to obtaining a new nomination and completmg the other normal admission 

requirements, approval of the Naval Academv's Academic Board is required 

for readmission of former midshipmen. Requests should be addressed to the 

Dean of Adm1ss1ons not later than 1 April 

Medical Examination 

Candidates must pass a verv thorough medical examination. The examination 

is designed to ensure that they possess the phvs1cal and mental fitness and 

thl' personality and behavioral characteristics necessary to adiust to service 

hh.' and to carry out the rigorous demands of the Naval Academy program. 

Physically fit candidates in good health with normal vision seldom have 

difficulty m passing the examination. Candidates should carefullv review the 

detailed medical standards contained m appendix 8. Candidates having less 

than 20 20 uncorrected vision or having defective color , 1sion should take 

careful note of the Eves and Vision section, appendix 8. Note the special 

examination requirements for those who wear eyeglasses or contact lenses 

and the tact that persons with defective color ns1on cannot be admitted. 

All candidate medical examinations are conducted at designated medical 

e,amining centers Examinations are conducted 011/ 11 for those candidates 

\\'ho h,1w been offrciall} scheduled bv the Department of Defense Medical 

Examination Review Board (DODMERB) This agency is responsible for 

scheduling and evaluating candidate medical examinations for all of the U S. 

sen-u:e academies. The prwrit11 of medical scheduling of Naval Academy 

candid,1tes 1s determined bv the Academv. This procedure 1s necessary 

because ot the limited number and capanl\. of examining facilities available 

throughout the nation 

r-or some candidates, this means that they will not be scheduled for a 

medical examination until thev are othenvise found to be full� qualtfied for 

admission and in !me to be considered for an appointment Other candidates 

mav not be scheduled nt n/11( for example, the,· are found to be scholastically 

unqualified bv the Admissions Board However candidates may be assured

Pay and Expenses 

Midshipmen are currently paid $480 per month, commencing on the date of 

adm1ssmn This salarv prcl\ ides funds for uniforms, books, equipment,

Before being admitted as a midshipman, each candidate must deposit with 

the M1dsh1pmen's Store the sum of 5700 to be used in parhal pavment for

Service Obligation, Separations, and Resignations 

A midshipman entering the Naval Academ,· directly from a civilian status 

assume� a six-vear m1htan service obligation, as pro,·ided b,· Title 10, U.S. 
Code, Section 651. If such a midshipman does not fulfill the Agreement to 

Serve detailed in the precedmg section, the midshipman may be trnnsferred 

to the \Java! or 'vlarine Corps Reserve m an enlisted status and ma, be 

ordered to active dutv ior such a period of time as the Secretary of the Navy 

mav prescribe but not for more than four vears, as provided by Tille 10, U.S. 

Code, Section 6965b. 

The followmg policies currently apply to midshipmen who enter the Naval 

Academy directly from a ci,·ilian status: 

Fourth and third classmen (freshmen and sophomores): Anv fourth or 

third classman who 1s separated, or whose res1gnat1on is accepted, will be 

discharged from the naval service. 

Second and first classmen (Juntors and seniors). A second classman who 

is separated or whose resignation is accepted pnor lo the commencement of 

the second class academic vear (the first day classes formally convene for the 

fall semester) will be discharged from the naval sen tee. A second classman 

(after commencmg the second class academic year) or a first classman who 

is separated or whose resignation 1s accepted prior to fulfilling the Agreement 

to Serve detailed in the precedmg section may be transferred to the Naval 

or Marine Corps Reserve in an enlisted status and may be ordered to active 

duty, as provided by Title 10, U.S. Code Section 6965b, for not less than two 

years, except in those cases where the midshipman is physically disqualified, 

unfit, or unsuited for militan• service in an enlisted status. 

This authority is implemented as follows: Midshipmen who are separated 

or whose resignation is accepted after the start of second class academic year, 

but prior to the start of first class academic year will serve rwo years. After 

the start of first class academic year the obligation is three years. If a 

midshipman graduates but refuses a commission, the obligation is four vears. 

A midshipman entenng the Naval Academy from the regular or reserve 

component of the Navy or Marine Corps, includmg midshipmen entering 

from the Naval Academy Preparatory School, will not have hisiher enlistment 

or period of obligated service terminated because of the acceptance of a 

midshipmen appointment. If such a midshipman is separated from the 

Academy or has a resignation accepted pnor to fulfillmg the Agreement to 

Serve detailed m the preceding section, the midshipman will resume enlisted 

status and shall complete the period of service for which enlisted or obligated, 

as provided by Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 516. ln computing the unexpired 

part of an enlistment or period of obligated service, all service as a midshipman 

is counted as service under that enlistment or period of obligated service. 

However, complehon or partial completion of service obligation acquired by 

prior enlistment in no way exempts a separated or resigned midshipman 

from bemg transferred to the reserve component and ordered to active duty, 

the same as a midshipman who enters the Academy directlv from a civilian 

status, as provided by Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 6965b 

An individual must complete any active duty obligation incurred either 

through disenrollment or by commissioning as described in the precedmg 

paragraphs. Persons failing to complete the acl!ve duty obligation, either 

voluntarily or through misconduct, may be required to reimburse the United 

States for the cost of education received at the Academy The cost of educal!on 

is computed by the Naval Academv and includes the costs of professors' 

salaries, supplies, and other expenses. It is comparable to the tuition at a 

fLrst-rate pnvate civilian university. 

The amount lo be reimbursed varies proportionally with the period of

My rrudsh1pman becomes a naval officer today 

The moment the white hat he hurls into the sky 

over the Navy-Manne Corps Memorial Stadium hits 

the ground, he will ha,·e begun the greatest adventure 

of his life 

l',·e ne,·er known any mids personally before, but 

when this voung man became engaged to my niece, 

I sort of evolved into an unofficial civihan "sponsor" 

for him. We have fixed my lawn mower together, 

shared many meals, and plaved on the same volleyball 

team, but we won't see much of each other in the 

next fev-. vears because he's going on a Journey now 

that he can onlv make alone .. 

Mv niece 1s going to be his wife, and it is hard to 

accept that this bright young girl I knew as an infant 

will be facing a lot of fear and loneliness 1n the near 

future 

While her new husband learns how to pull a 1et 

lramer out of a power dive over Pensacola, and the 

proper way to bounce a plane onto the heaving deck 

of an aircraft earner, she will have to learn to close 

her mind to the kind of uncertainty wives of 9 to 5 

commuters never know. 

Thev "111 both learn to live with frequent moves 

and long separat10ns . they'll abo gel to see a lot 

of places together Some oi them will be only hot 

stnps of north Florida beach and drydtKks in Norfolk, 

but �ome of them may be l lawaiian islands or while 

villages on the Mediterranean Sea. 

There shouldn't be any protest at the stadium

profession is no longer dishonorable. The war he will 

have to fight, 1f one comes, will be for different 

reasons and 1n other places. 

As the years pass, this young couple might become 

a little isolated from me, because I am a civilian and 

they are now encased in a separate martial culturethe ultimate measure of which is not a big salary or 

a new house, but success in war. It's easy to forget 

that cold fact in all the hoopla and hijmks of Commissioning Week. These are not stockbrokers or 

salesmen here-they are putting gold braid on their 

sleeves to represent a profession dedicated, if it 

becomes necessary 

And that 1s why, in the midst of the parties and 

happy sendoffs, I am going to start to worry about 

my niece and my midshipman. 

I know what it 1s like to be a militarv newlywed, 

becaU5e I was one myself I remember h�v111g to leave 

my wife of six months standing at the foot of an 

airport ramp while I flew away to South Vietnam, 

and I am hoping that these young people will never 

have to replay that scene. 

I am go111g to worry about them a lot over the 

coming years, but there will be noth111g J can do about 

1t. All I can do is hope. 

When he marries my niece in September, I guess 

he'll have to call me "uncle," but today, when he 

becomes a man and an officer, I think I'll call him 

"sir" _ _J

The Curriculum Challenge 

"Most of them (the profs) will tel/ you, 'Anything until 11 o'clock (at 

111ghl); if it's important call me.' You know you'll get help if you 

are 1-enlly hurling. They'll help you out." 

Y

oung men and women entering the Naval Academy can be confident 

that the professional education and training received at Annapolis 

will give them the knowledge and skills that they will need to perform 

their future military dutiPs effectively. The development of professional 

officers has been central to the ob1ectives of the Naval Academy since its 

founding over 135 years ago. It 1s today. But today's Naval Academy offers 

considerably more. The Naval Academy 1s primarily an academic institution, 

offering m-deplh studies in engineering, science, and the humanities. The 

curriculum 1s demanding, and its many choices are designed to challenge 

each midshipman's academic aptitudes and interests. 

The day is long past when every line officer could be expected to embody 

all the qualifications and specialties desired or needed in a naval career. 

Today's Naval Academy, therefore, does not seek to give the same allinclusive educational package to every graduate. Rather, it undertakes to 

produce m every graduating class a group of individual line officers-all 

thoroughly educated at the baccalaureate level and well trained in basic 

professional subjects. 

Each midshipman must sal!sfy certain mmimum course requirements in 

mathematics and science and in the social sciences and the humanities. 

Midshipmen must also complete a maior sequence from a variety of fields 

which are designed to provide them with the academic background necessary 

for effective leadership in today's Navy or Marine Corps. Consistent with 

the Navy's technical orientation is the Academy's requirement that at least 

80 percent of our m1dsh1pmen major in one of the engineering, math, or 

science-oriented disciplines. The remaining midshipmen may major in the 

humanities or social sciences. 

The Navy has an ever-increasing need for officers educated in the engineenng disciplines and thus offers extensive opportunities to its officers for 

graduate work and career specialties or subspecialties 111 engineering programs. Seven engineering majors offered by the Naval Academy lead to 

designated degrees accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission 

of the Accreditation Board for Engmeering and Technology (EAOABET).

Choosing a Major 

A midshipmen's choice of major governs the number of related and supporting 

courses required in science, engineering, mathematics, or foreign languages. 

Majors m the scientific-technical fields entail more courses, at higher levels, 

in mathematics, science, and engineering, for example, than do non-technical 

majors. The scientific-technical programs require no foreign language. On 

the other hand, programs in social sciences, international studies, and English 

do require foreign language study, yet these programs also include four 

semesters of mathematics, one year of chemistry, and a year of physics. 

Some plebes are sure of their study preferences and their academic aptitudes 

when they first arrive at the Academy. However, midshipmen are not 

normaUy ready to make a firm selection of their major at the beginning of 

plebe year. They may have a general idea of the area of interest, without 

being sure of which major they should take. They may not yet know whether 

their talents lie in a technical or nontechnical field. And, during plebe year, 

they may very well discover that their real interests and abilities do not fit 

the requirements of the major fields they first considered. 

For these reasons, selection of a major• is delayed until near the end of 

the Common Plebe Year when the midshipman has had nearly two semesters 

of meaningful academic experience in fundamental courses which test abi!Jty 

and help to evaluate strengths and weaknesses. Approval by the Academic 

Dean of each midshipman's choice of a major will depend upon the needs 

of the Navy and the educational background of the midshipman. 

·The majors described in rh,s ralalog (chapter 7) are sub1ect to changes to meet the needs of the 

Navy and. therefore, should not be considered a, a contract between the candidate and the

Writing, Rhetoric, and Literature. Thl'se courses are designed to develop 

primarv tools for further education and professional de\·elopment Includes 

intensivl' practice in a variety of \\'rtting techniques, critical thinking, and 

reading. 

Chemistry. A full vear of stud\ is required in this basic disciphne. Midshipmen 

are placed in course sequences of varying difficulty depending upon their 

ability and background 

Computer Science. Each midshipman receives a one-semester introduction 

to the usl' of the computer during plebe year. Computers are becoming 

increasingly important in nrtually every aspect of the modern nan, and 

midshipmen are expected to use them as tools in a number of their Naval 

Academ,· courses. 

Leadership. This introductorv course is designed to instill in midshipmen a 

profes!'.'1onal sense of purpo5e and personal honor, those military leaderslup 

traits and techniques h·hich will insure credib1hty in the communication of 

their ideas and commands, and an appreciation for individual and organizational factors which influencl' their performance as leaders. 

Advanced Placement 

Prior to entering the .:\aval Academ), many midshipmen take courses 

equivalent to those offered or required here. We consider one or more of the 

tollowing in determining whether to grant credit for this work: validation 

t.>xaminat1ons gl\·en by the appropnate academic departments, transcnpts, 

and results of College Entrance Examination Board Achievement Tests and 

Advanced Placement Tests, if available. Validators of any of the plebe courses 

may be enrolled in more advanced courses during plebe vear if the, desire, 

or they may elect to cam a lighter academic load. All midshipmen must, 

however, carry at least 15 semester hours. Over half of the members of a 

plebe class validate one or more courses. 

Counseling and Guidance 

\lidsh1pmen are responsible not only for deciding upon their major, but also 

for selecting specific courses and planning their semester schedules They 

may thus set, within certain limits, the pace of studies to match their 

capabilities. An average student, for example, will likeh take sequential 

courses as the� are laid out for normal progress m a gi\·en ma1or program 

If ready for ad\ anced placement m some subjects, or able to handle more 

than the standard number of courses, the midshipman may complete the 

r<'quirements more rapidly and gain time for more electi,·e courses Some 

m1dsh1pmen ma) even complete second ma1ors. 

Although decisions regarding their academic program must be their own, 

midshipmen have ample opportunihes ior consultation with faculty members 

During the first few weeks at the Na\'al Academ,·, the,· receive about 20 

hours ol group and individual counseling on all a�pects.of the curriculum 

They also take a number (If achievement tests to help dt.>termine the levels 

at which studies should begin.

THE CURRICULUM CHALLENGE 104 

"My Academy class will 

graduate 01•er 900. Thal 1s 

200 more people thn11 l1l't' 

111 11111 home town." 

As required by law, the Academy's Academic Board examines the records 

of all academically deficient midshipmen for the purpose of deciding which 

of them should be retained. A midshipman 1s subject to academic discharge 

who has failed two or more courses, has a semester QPR below 1 5, has 

failed to remove academic probation, is two or more cJurses behind in the 

matrix of the assigned ma1or, has failed to fulfill a requirement previously 

assigned b,· the Academic Board, or has failed to fulfill all graduation 

requirements at the end of first class year 

On the other end of the grading scale, two honor categories are arnilable 

to m1dsh1pmen. The Superintendent's List honors midshipmen attaining a 

SPQR of at least 3.4, with no grade below C; with grades of A in military 

performance and in conduct, and with B or better in physICal education 

Called "star midshipmen," they proudly wear gold stars on the lapels of 

their uniforms The Dean's List honors midshipmen with a minimum SQPR 

of 3.4 with no failure (F) in any academic course or other area, including 

professional studies, aptitude, conduct, and physical education. 

Graduation Requirements 

To qualify for graduation a m1dsh1pman must: 

(]) Complete the courses specified for the assigned ma1or;

The curriculum at the Naval Academ,· is of four-years' duration, as required 

by law This means that students who validate courses or who can carr�· 

extra courses have the opportunity to do advanced work, pursue independent 

study and research, complete the requirements of two ma1ors, or study other 

sub1ects for self-improvement or of general interest. 

Schedule of Instruction 

The calendar year is divided into two semesters and a summer term. The 

academic year consists of two semesters, each of approx1mateh 16 weeks of 

instruction and one week of examinations. The academic routine provides 

for five days of classroom, laboratory, and study periods per week. Small 

classes, averaging 20 m1dsh1pmen, provide ample opportunity for active 

classroom participation by each midshipman and for individual attention

Aerospace Engineenng, a maior accredited by the Engmneenng Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EACABET), 

focuses on the study of compressible and incompressible fluid flows, con\'entional 

and advanced propulsion systems, vehicle performance, stability and control, and 

modem structural mechanics. It deals primarilv with the analysis and design of air 

cushion vehicles, a1rcraft, and spacecraft. Basic principles and sound engineering 

techniques are stressed. 

The curriculum provides for various research projects and chmce of a wide 

vanety of electives. Throughout the program, extensive use is made of laboratory 

facilities, which include a propulsion lab; a rotor lab; low-speed, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic wmd tunnels, and a structures lab. Field tests are also 

conducted using a flight test aircraft, small surface-effects vehicles, and a \'ariable 

stability flight simulator. Computer techniques are emphasized for data reducllon, 

design, and graphic display. 

A solid foundation is laid which permits graduate work in a number of fields. A 

Bachelor of Science m Aerospace Engineering 1s awarded.

Department of Na val Systems Engineering 

Marine Engineering Major 

Manne Engmeenng, an EAOABET-accrecLted maier, is concerned with the analysis 

and design of energy systems. This ma1or provides an excellent background for the 

Navy's Nuclear Power Program 

A broad background in engineering fundamentals 1s provided students, who 

then apply these principles in their studies of energy svstems. These include 

conventional steam and nuclear power plants, gas turbines, and such advanced 

power systems as fuel cells and thermoelectric units. 

A course covering the principles of naval engineering systems develops an 

understanding of the principles of ship design and construction, and it introduces 

students to the problems of analyzing and designing systems for use in the ocean 

environment Physics prepares the student for the reactor physics and reactor 

engineering courses. Studies in heat transfer-so essential in the study of modern 

energy systems--follow. Knowledge gained from these studies is then used in the 

anall'sis of marine propulsion plants and in group designs of future propulsion 

svstems - Past designs bv students have included the concept design of a propulsion plant

for a low-waler-plane catamaran, prehminan design of a submarine waste disposal

system and the concept design of an offshore nuclear power plant. A Bachelor of

Science in Marine Engineering is awarded.

Department of Chemistry 

Chemistry Major 

Chem1strv, an experimental science, is the most laboratory-oriented program offered at the \Java! Academ\'. The laboratory facilities of \.lichelson Hall are unexcelled at the undergraduate Ie,·el. Serious students of chemistry have ample opportun1t1• to experiment and observe as they pursue the scientific method. Laboratory 

equipment includes single-pan balances, gas chromatographs, a mass spectrometer, 

X-ray diffraction equipment, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers 

Any naval officer ,viii profit from a good knowledge of chemistry. A background 

in the fundamental principles of chemistry and modem experimental techniques is 

highly \'aluable for officers working in such technical subspecialhes as oceanspace 

research, life sciences and support systems, propellants, and many others. 

The Chemistry ma1or is accredited by the American Chemical Society An undesignated Bachelor of Science degree is awarded

Department of Oceanography 

Oceanography Major 

Oceanography is an interdisc1plmary science major involving the study of meteorology, geophysics, physics, chemistry, biology, and geology as they relate to our 

ocean environment and the effects of that environment on naval operations. It is a 

laboratory-oriented program with the most modern facilities, including an oceanographic research vessel, a field laboratory, a weather station and radiosonde svstem 

for study of the atmosphere, plus a wave tank, a rotating tank, demonstration tank, 

atmospheric chamber, tide gauges, marine culture systems, and fully equipped 

laboratories. An undesignated Bachelor of Science degree is awarded

T

he overall program at the Naval Academy is designed to provide 

midshipmen with a broad academic and professional foundation upon 

which they will be able to build competence in am· of the 1varfare 

spec1alihes they may elect lo follow at graduation surface warlare, aviation, 

the submanne service, or the Marine Corps. The development of a strong 

sense of commitment to the na\'al service and the fostering of high personal 

standards are ma1or aims of our program 

Professional development of midshipmen is the overall responsibility of 

the Commandant of Midshipmen This development starts on the very first 

day of plebe summer and continues through graduation four years later. lt 

consists of professionally oriented classroom studies (Ln all, 15 courses during 

the four years) and of drills and practical traming conducted al the Academy 

during the academic vear, as well as of professional training conducted 

dunng the summer at shore bases and at sea with units of the Fleet. Included 

are instruction and trammg 111 na\'1gation, seamanship and tactics, naval 

engineering, naval weapons, leadership, and mihtan. law, 

Each midshipman's professional development 1s momtored and graded 

throughout the years at Annapolts. These grades are considered along with 

grades achieved for academic studies 111 other (non-professional) areas of the 

curriculum in determming a m1dsh1pman's class standing at graduation. 

A summary of the Naval Academy's program for the professional development of midshipmen follows

Professional Competency Review (PCR). 

The PCR consists of a ,eries of comprehen,ive examinations administered to m1dsh1pmen of each class dunng the spring semester The PCR measures whether or nut 

each m1dsh1pman is making satisfacton· progress toward achieving the level of 

professional competence r<'quired for graduation and commissioning. It provides an 

opportumtv for m1dsh1pmen to annuall\' evaluate their own professional strengths 

and ,,·eal--nesses The PCR also pro\'ldes meaningful feedback on the errecti\'eness of

Varsity and Intramural Athletics

ROGER ST.\UBACII 

J

ust as the Naval Academ\' has a responsibilitv for the professional and 

intellectual development of midshipmen, so, also, must it fulfill its 

responsibility for each midshipman's ph,·s1cal development This responsibiht\' is met through our mtcrcollegiate sports program-with 22 

men's and 9 women's varsity teams, one of the broadest in the nation-and 

an equally ambitious intramural program. All midshipmen are required to 

participate 111 these programs, either at the varsity or intramural level. 

The late John Fitzgerald Kennedv, a World \Var II naval officer who rose 

to the highest office in the land, underscored the importance of athletics 

generally in his thoughts about football: "l sometimes wonder whether those 

of us who love football fully appreciate its great lesson: that ded1cahon, 

discipline, and teamwork are necessarv \o\ e take 1t for granted that the 

plavers will spare no sacrifice to become alert, strong, and skilled, that thev 

will give their best on the field. This is as it should be, and we must never 

expect less, but I am extremely anxious that its implications not be lost upon 

us." 

President Jimmv Carter, Class of 1947, demonstrated his interest in athletJCs 

by participating in cross country as a midshipman. And, finally, Vice Admiral 

W111lam P Lawrence, past Supenntendent of the Naval Academy and a 

three-sport varsity athlete as a member of the Academy's Class of 1951, 

became the 23rd recipient of the National Football Foundation and Hall of 

Fame's Gold Medal Award 111 1979 for "his s1gnif1cant contributions to college 

football and his inspirahonal leadership throughout his adult life which has 

embodied the highest ideals for which the game of football stands." Previous 

recipients of this prestigious award have included Presidents Kennedy and 

Eisenhower General Douglas McArthur, and Supreme Court Justice Byron 

White 

The exploits of Navy teams in compet1t1ve athletics are well-chronicled. 

Over the vears, midshipmen have carved a reputation for excellence throughout the sports spectrum from football to fenc111g, sailing to squash, and golf 

to gymnastics. Two Navy football players-halfback Joe Bellino and quarterback Roger Staubach-won the He1sman Trophy, the college gridiron's 

most coveted individual pnze, within a penod of four years. In 1983, 1umor 

running back Napoleon McCallum received first team AII-Amencan recognition and was sixth in the vot111g for the He1sman. Many of our athletes 

have been awarded NCAA graduate scholarships. Dunng the 1982-83 season, 

27 of our varsity athletes received All-American recognition. These ranged 

from first team selection to honorable mention and included selection to 

Academic AII-Amenca teams.

Football at the Naval Academy dates from 1879, just ten years after Rutgers 

and Princeton introduced the sport at New Brunswick. The midshipmen 

have participated in the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Holiday, Garden State, 

and Liberty Bowls, including three bowls in a recent four-year period. Of 

course, nothing better symbolizes the Naval Academy athletic program than 

the Army-Navy football game, a sports event in the same galaxy as the World 

Series, the Kentucky Derby, and the Rose Bowl. 

Navy heavyweight crews captured the Olympic gold medal for eight-oared 

shells at Antwerp, Belgium in 1920, and in Helsinki, Finland, in 1952. A 

former Navv oarsman-Alan B. Shepard-was America's first man 111 space. 

In 1983, Navy's heavyweight crew won the Jim Ten Eyck Trophy at the 

Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships for the second straight 

year. Other prestigious Navy heavyweight crew accomplishments in 1983 

included winning the Head-of-the Charles Regatta (fourth consecutive year) 

and winning the Head-of-the Schuylkill Regatta (fifth ti.me in past 6 years). 

In the mid-60's the Navy soccer team did not drop a regular season contest 

over a six-year, 48-game span. And from 1960-67, the Navy lacrosse team 

reeled off a record eight consecutive national championships. They won 

again in 1970, and were runners-up in 1975. In 1976, a Naval Academy 

graduate, Captain Lloyd Keaser, USMC, was an Olympic silver medalist in 

wrestlmg. Academy pistol teams have won national intercollegiate titles for 

the past eight years. A member of the Class of 1983, Leo Williams, was a 

four-time All-American 111 indoor track and a two-ti.me All American in track 

and field in the high Jump. He won his event four straight years at both the 

indoors and outdoors Heptagonals Games, was the 1983 high jump champion 

at the Penn Relays, and won the silver medal at the 1983 Pan American 

Games. 

The Naval Academy's sailing team prm·ides midshipmen with opportunities 

to de,·elop professional leadership and seamanship skills through compebhon 

in numerous intercollegiate and private regattas. Competition ranges from 

single-handed Lasers to SO-foot ocean racers with a crew of JJ. The Academy 

sponst1rs many of these regattas, including the McMillan Cup and the John 

F Kennedy Memorial Regattas in tJ,e yawls. There are dinghy regattas almost 

every weekend. For the past seven years, the Naval Academy has won the 

Fowle Trophy, emblematic of over-all intercollegiate sailing supremacy m 

North America, an unprecedented feat in this sport.

There is enough variety in Navv'c; intercollegiate lineup to satisfy virtuallv 

everyone's athletic tastes. In the fall, there is football, cross country, women's 

cross country, women's volleyball, soccer, 150-pound football, water polo, 

and sathng. Winter is the most active time of year with men's and women's 

basketball, men's and women's fencing, gymnastics, pistol, rifle, squash, 

men's and women's swimming, men's and women's track, and wrestling. 

The spring schedule includes baseball, hea\'}'Weight crew, lightweight crew, 

women's crew, golf, lacrosse, sa1hng, tennis, and men's and women's track. 

In addition to women's teams, women at the Academy are encouraged to

tat the Academy offers midshi

.

pmen a wide-ranging choice of over 75 

different extracurricular activities (ECAs). Almost all are organized 

and sustained by the midshipmen themselves. From sky-diving to 

scuba diving; from the Brigade's FM radio station, WR,\JV, to its amateur 

radio club, W3ADO; from a six-member rock band lo a 150-member chapel 

choir; from ice hockey lo rugby football, midshipmen are involved in exciting 

and interesting pastimes. 

Extracurricular activities at the Na\'al Academy fall into one or more of 

several basic areas: professional, academic, athletic, musical, recreal10nal, 

publications and printing, and Brigade-support. Midshipmen are encouraged 

to participate in as many activities as their interests and time allow. 

Athletics are, and always will be, an important facet of Academy life. Aside 

from the many varsity and intramural sports, midshipmen may participate 

in activities of the Judo, Karate, Powerhfting, Bowling, and Distance Running 

Clubs. Team-oriented ECA's with a competitive flavor include the men's 

Rugby, Ice Hockey, and Volleyball Clubs and the women's Gymnastics and 

Softball Clubs. The Naval Academy's "club" learns compete against Army 

and other college and private learns in the mid-Atlantic area. Home games 

o the Academy's hard-hitting ice hockey (host of our Crab Pot Tournament)

and rugby teams are especially popular with the midshipmen and other 

Annapolis-area fans. Although considered ECA's at the Academy, participants

in club sports may earn athletic letters, similar to varsity athletes.

Midshipmen interested in careers in the Marine Corps may join the 

Academy's Semper Fidelis Club. Here midshipmen and Marine Corps officers 

assigned to the Naval Academy enjoy professionally oriented programs 

relating to the Marines. 

The Flying Club is available Lo m1dsh1pmen of all classes. Flight instructors 

include both officers and civilians. Following completion of ground school, 

members undertake flight instruction and may qualify for a private pilot's 

license and, for some, an instrument rating as well. 

The Scuba Club offers basic scuba diving courses taught by midshipmen 

instructors, all certified by the YMCA. Over 200 divers are trained each year 

in basic or advanced diving. Once qualified, midshipmen can enjoy clubsponsored trips dunng weekend liberties or leave periods lo the Florida 

Keys, the Virgin Islands or Bermuda, and lo the wartime wrecks off the 

nearby coasts of North Carolina and New Jersey. 

The Sportsman Club inciudes hunting, fishing, camping, hikmg, backpacking, cycling, and skeet shooting. Because of the variety of popular

Academic ECA's augment studies in many ways at the Academy. The 

History Club sponsors eminent speakers and arranges for movies of historical 

interest for general viewing by members of the Brigade. The Political 

Awareness Forum sponsors seminars, field tnps, and other club activities. 

The International Club-with Chinese, French German Russian, and Sparnsh 

sections-sponsors formal banquets with distinguished foreign visitors speakmg in their native language; field trips to foreign ships, diplomatic receptions, 

plays, films, and exhibits; and the Naval Academ,·'s International Ball, 

attended each \'ear by m1dsh1pmen and hundreds of young people from 

Washington's international community 

This past spring (1983), midshipmen and student delegates from over 130 

colleges participated in the Naval Academv's 23rd annual Foreign Affairs 

Conference (NAFAC). The topic of the four-day conference was "The Western 

Alliance in Transition." As in past vears, speakers and moderators included 

senior officials of the U.S. State and Defense Departments and other prominent 

Americans knowledgeable on the international scene, as well as ambassadors 

and other senior embassy personnel from the \'\'ashington diplomatic community. Ambassador Walter J Stoessel, Jr., former Deputy Secretary of State 

and U.S. Ambassador to West Germany and to the Soviet Union, was the 

keynote speaker. 

Members of the Forensic Soaety compete at district and national le,·els in 

nearly 40 intercollegiate debate tournaments each \'ear These include an 

Academy-sponsored debate tournament in the spring attended b,· many of 

the top teams in the country 

Other academic ECA's represented here include a number of nationallv 

recognized clubs and societies Among them are the American Institute of 

Aeronautics and Astronautics, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics

to that of a civilian college A Board of Visitors perform5 the broad 

supervisory funct10ns of a board tlt trustees. !he Supenntendent, a 

flag officer of the Navy, 1s the equivalent uf a college pre51dent, and acts as 

the executive head of the Academy. He 1s assbted by the Commandant ul 

Midshipmen, a senior naval officer whose function 1s somewhat lake that of 

a dean of students, a civilian Academic Dean, and an adminu,trahve staff 

The Supenntendent, the Commandant, the Academic Dean and other semor 

members of the faculty comprise the Academic Board, which makes maior 

academic decisions and sets the academic standards for the Academy Military, 

professional, and physical traimng come under the Commandant. The 

Academic Dean heads the academJC program. 

Today's 600-member Naval Academy faculty is an integrated group of 

officers and civilians in approximately equal numbers. The officers, rotated 

at intervals of about three years, provide a continuing input of new ideas 

and experience from the Fleet. The civilians provide a core of professional 

scholarship and teaching experience, as well as continuity to the educational 

program. 

The Board of Visitors 

Appointed annually, the Board of Visitors to the Academy consists of the 

chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U.S. Senate, or his 

designee, three other members of the Senate designated by the V,ce President 

of the United States or the President pro lempore of the Senate, two of whom 

are members of the Committee on Appropnations of the Senate, the chairman 

of the Committee on Armed Services of the U.S. House of Representatives, 

or h1s designee, four other members of the House of Representatives, two 

of whom are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the House of 

Representahves; and six persons designated by the President of the United 

States. 

The Board meets at least once, but usually twice, each year at the Naval 

Acdemy to lllquire into the state of morale and discipline, the curriculum, 

instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and related 

matters, and submits a written report of its findings and recommendations 

to the President of the Umted States.

Candidates who wear eyeglasses should bring them along when they 

receive their medical examination. Hard and semi-soft contact lenses must 

be removed 21 days prior to the medical examination, and soft contact lenses 

must be removed 3 days prior to the medical examination. Both eyes must 

be free from any disfiguring or incapacitating abnormality and from acute or 

chronic disease. No waivers for defective color v1s1on will be granted.•

heart beat; and hypertension evidenced by predominant blood pressure 

reading of 140 mm or more systolic or 90 mm or more diastolic. The following 

are also causes for re1ection: varicose vems, if severe or symptomatic, heart 

rate greater than 100 on repeated examinations; substantiated history of 

rheumatic fever withm the pre,·ious two years; recurrent attacks of rheumatic 

fever or evidence of residual cardiac damage; and history of recurring rapid 

heart beat within the preceding five years (paroxysmal tachycardia). 

HEMOGLOBIN VARIANTS: Sickle cell disease is cause for rejection. Sickle 

cell trait and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (C-6-PDJ deficiency are 

not, m themseh-es, disqualifying. However, the presence of either of these 

hemoglobin variants may preclude a nudshipman from entering the aviation, 

submarine, or diving specialties upon graduation from the Naval Academy. 

All candidates are tested for sickle cell trait at the time of their medical 

exammation. Dunng Plebe Summer, all inductees are again tested for sickle 

cell trait, as well as G-6-PD deficiency, and are counseled regarding the 

medical and career implications of any abnormal results

The vast majority of Annapolis graduates go directly to sea or to the Fleet 

Marine Force, thus beginning their professional careers m an operational 

environment A few, those with outstanding records as midshipmen, mav 

compete for a limited number of graduate scholarships. Several of these 

scholarships require enrollment immediately upon graduahon from the 

Academy. Most graduates, however, will first complete their inihal operational 

tour of duty with the Fleet before they may expect the opportunit\ to be 

enrolled m a master's program, either at the \;aval Postgraduate School in 

Monterey, California, or m programs offered at a number of participating 

civilian univers1hes. Still others will ha\·e the opportunity to undertake 

graduate studies at a later time m their careers
