Annapolis, Maryland 
Mission 

To prepare young men 

morally, mentally, and physically 

to be professional officers 

in the naval service. 


It's Your Decision 

As a prospective candidate for Annapolis, you have a lot to think about 

and a lot of questions to ask. I don't have all the answers. No one does. 

I can, of course, assure you that we have a beautiful campus, that our 

faculty and facilities are first-rate, and that the choice of 27 majors we offer 

should include at least one in which you have a particular interest. 

I can also assure you that we will work hard at Annapolis to challenge you 

and to bring out the best in you-morally, mentally, physically-for 

the full four years. Make no mistake. We are here to help you make yourself 

into the best naval officer possible. We take this responsibility seriously. 

Life here isn't easy, and we don't pretend the Naval Academy is for every 

young man. 

For many, the Naval Academy turns out to be the best step they ever took ... 

the start of a challenging way of life, the reward of service to their 

country, something to look back on with great pride and satisfaction, 

to cherish during many a quiet moment at sea. 

It is not all work here. Far from it. There are sports, dances, sailing, clubs, 

bands, dramatics, student publications, student government, Big Brothers, 

choirs, hobbies, cruises to Europe and the Far East-the full range, and then 

some, of the typical activities you would find on a civilian campus. 

Please study this catalog carefully. We have tried to tell it like it is. 

The first chapter, in particular, should add to your perspective. If you have 

questions, let us have them. We want you to know as much as possible 

about the Naval Academy before making up your mind. 

Jt is your decision.

I: Why the Naval Academy? 

[f you have picked up this catalog and thumbed through it this far, presumably you have at least some interest in the Naval Academy. Perhaps it is 

only a fleeting one prompted by curiosity. Or, conceivably, your interest 

could be a deeper one and you could be thinking of attempting to obtain an 

appointment to the Academy. In any case, ii is reasonable that you should 

want to ask questions about it. What can Annapolis offer me that other 

schools cannot? What will [ get out of it in the long run? In short, why 

should I consider the Naval Academy in making my plans for the years 

ahead? The paragraphs below are an attempt to provide brief, objective 

answers to those questions. 

Service to Country 

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

Academy is to prepare young men to be professional officers in the Navy or 

Marine Corps. 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. We do, however, 

ask that you come with the realization that you are being educated and 

trained for service to your nation. You should be ready and willing to complete the four year curriculum, to serve in a ship, aircraft squadron, or the 

Marine Corps for five years after graduation, and you should have an open 

mind as to your future after that five years. Dedication to this idea of service 

to your country must be high in your reasons for coming to Annapolis if you 

hope to succeed, and if you are to justify taking a place in the entering class. 

Education 

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

society. The naval profession is no exception. Since its founding in 1845, the 

Naval Academy has been dedicated to providing the best education for its 

students consonant with its mission and the needs of the Navy. In recent 

years, the growing complexity of the Navy, both in its internal technology, 

9 
and in the nature of its outside relationships, has changed the requirements 

for the undergraduate education of its officers at Annapolis. The bedrock of 

today's Naval Academy education is still in the professional, seagoing, shipboard subiects required of each graduate. Beyond these, however, each midshipman may now choose to study any one of 27 majors, ranging from 

engineering through oceanography and mathematics on to history, economics, 

and international affairs. The needs of the Navy require that 70 percent of 

each class enroll in engineering, scientific, or mathematics majors. Others 

major in the humanities or social sciences. Whatever your major, you will 

be well prepared for your duties as a junior officer 

Leadership Training 

The Naval Academy does much more than simply offer you a sound college education. Its program includes military training, physical training, and 

the inculcation of the ideals of the naval profession. The purpose of the overall program at Annapolis is to produce a self-confident leader who accepts 

his responsib1lit1es both to the nation he serves and to the men he commands. 

This is not an easy goal and no one should come to the Naval Academy with 

the idea that the training program is a sort of spare-time adjunct to the educational program. It is all-encompassing and its activities pervade the fourvear course through all the months of the year. 

The plebe year at Annapolis is not easv. It is a year of development in a 

new and different environment. You will certainly feel pressure and stress in 

the process and you will learn to utilize time better than you ever have 

before. 

Beyond plebe year the Academy applies its regulations and its system of 

accountability to you with decreasing severity until, during your first class, 

or senior, year, vou will have a great deal of freedom in choosing what you 

will do and where you will go Along with that increased freedom, however, 

will come incre,1sed responsibility. The first class, and particularly the Brigade 

officers chosen from the first class, are charged with much of the responsibility for running the Brig,1de. Student government was a reality at the Naval 

Academy long before it was being discussed at other institutions, 

Your four years at Annapolis will not be easv ones. No achievement so 

worthwhile is ever easy By the time vou graduate, you will have developed 

your potentials of scholastic achievement, physical conditioning, and leadership ability to the best possible advantage 

LO 
Travel and the Sea 

The Naval Academy is linked with the sea through its history, its mission, 

its day-to-day work, and its future. As you stroll through the Academy Yard, 

you can see ocean-going ships plying the Chesapeake on their way to and 

from Baltimore. Whatever the month, you will usually see part of the Academy's fleet of nearly 100 small-craft-sail and power-underway in the 

Severn River or on the Bay. 

Perhaps you have never thought much about the sea; perhaps you have 

lived near and known it well aU your life; perhaps you have never known 

much about it but it has always spelled adventure, travel, and excitement for 

you. Whatever your situation, you should not think seriously about Annapolis without also thinking about the ~ea 

Two of your four summers at the Academy will be devoted to cruises in 

ships of the Navy. After your plebe year, your youngster cruise will take you 

to distant ports in Europe or the Far East. Recent Academy cruises have gone 

to Hamburg, Lisbon, and Copenhagen in Europe, while the Pacific groups 

have visited New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and Hong Kong. 

On these cruises you will stand the crew's watches on your ships, applying 

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

year. Similarly, when you go on your first class cruise, the summer before 

your last year at the Academy you will have an opportunity to stand the 

watches of a junior officer, applying again a portion of your professional 

training and education. 

These ties between practical work at sea and academic work at Annapolis 

are symbolic of the balance between training and education that is at the 

heart of the Annapolis program. 

Professionalism 

This is the word used at Annapolis today to express the overall excellence 

that has been our ideal since the founding of the Academy more than a century and a quarter ago. It expresses many things-but al the heart of it is 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 

u 

II: The Years 1845-1973 

Through the years 1645 to 1973, as the nation's responsibilities and need for 

seapower have grown, the Navy has increased greatly in size and complexity. 

Keeping pace, in peace and war, from sad to steam, and into the nuclear age, 

the Naval Academy has responded to every challenge, expanding its faciljties 

and revising its curriculum as necessary to provide the timely, second-to-none 

professional leadership expected in the United States Navy. 

The Naval Academy was founded as the Naval School in 1645 by the 

Honorable George Bancroft, distinguished historian and educator, and Secretary of the Navy in 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 into the Chesapeake Bay. 

Commander Franklin Buchanan was the first Superintendent of the Naval 

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

gunnery, naval tactics, engineering, 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 Naval School was reorganized as the U. 5. Naval Academy, 

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

cruises provided the midshipmen with seagoing experience to augment their 

classroom work. Thus, today's basic four-year curriculum and summer cruise 

program first appeared at the Naval Academy well over 100 years ago. 

During the Civil War, the Brigade of Midshipmen was moved 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 in America offering a sophisticated, 

technical undergraduate program. 

In the late 1870s, Albert A Michelson, a graduate of the Class of 1873, 

performed his world-famous measurement of the velocity of light while 

ra .. ,lr r•ound "''" ,,.o serving as an instructor in the Department of Physics and Chemistry at the 

13 
Bnnd 1wd 111rd.,;lliJ1»1rn it pa,ntfr JSSO 

Academy. 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 Einstein who once noted 

that the inspiration for his theory of relativity came directly from Michelson's 

work. Thus, 11 1s not surprising that the science wing of the Academy's recently-completed science and mathematics building complex is named Michelson Hall. 

Other distinguished graduates include Alfred Thayer Mahan, whose profound writings on seapower and its influence on history are still the world 

standard in the field, and a succession of renowned military leaders in peace 

and war for over 100 years. Admirals Dewey, Sims, King, Nimitz, Halsey, 

Spruance, and Burke need little introduction. The successors and heirs to their 

greatness are midshipmen today 

Following accreditation of the Naval Academy in 1930 by the Association 

of American Universities, a Congressional law was passed in 1932 authorizing 

the Academy to confer the Bachelor of Science degree upon all graduates, 

beginning with the Class of 1<l31. In 193<l, Congress authorized the award14 
V1t'W of Naval Acadt'my, crrm 1907 

ing of the B.S. degree to all living graduates. The Middle States Association 

of Colleges and Secondary Schools first accredited the Academy in 1947. 

And, in 1958, the tests of the College Entrance Examination Board replaced 

Academy-prepared entrance examinations. 

The Immediate Graduate Education Program was initiated in the fall of 

1966 to provide the opportunity for qualified midshipmen to continue their 

studies immediately after graduation in accelerated master's programs at 

participating universities or at the Naval Postgraduate School. Also in 1966, 

an Academic Advisory Board of distinguished Americans was appointed by 

the Secretary of the Navy to advise and counsel the Superintendent on 

academic matters. 

Yard and facilities 

Long recognized as one of the most beautiful of our historic landmarks 

along the eastern seaboard, the Naval Academy was designated a U. 5. 

National Historic Site in 1963. Each year over one million visitors tour the

grounds and buildings of the Academy. Everyone is welcome during daylight 

hours, and a visitors' service providing guided tours, maps, and information 

is available. Annapolis is less than an hour's drive from Washington, DC., 

or Baltimore, Maryland. 

Physical and academic facilities have kept pace with the demands of the 

curriculum and the Fleet. The original ten acres have grown to today's 302 

acres. Much of this acreage increase has resulted from a series of landfills in 

the Severn River. A recent landfill, completed in 1959, added 56 acres for 

athletic fields and new buildings. Construction of a number of buildings in 

use today began in 1899 with a Congressional appropriation of ten million 

dollars. Ernest Flagg was the architect; the style is French Renaissance. 

Recent years have seen the addition of new wings to Bancroft Hall, the 

midshipmen's dormitory; the construction of a Brigade library and assembly 

hall; the construction of an athletic field house large enough to accommodate the entire 4,200-man Brigade of Midshipmen and the families and 

friends of first classmen at graduation time; and the construction, with 

privately donated funds, of the nearby Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. 

A multimillion-dollar renovation of Bancroft Hall was completed in 1965. 

Sharing the spotlight with other impressive buildings in the Yard is the 

chapel, with its towering dome, beneath which lies the crypt of John Paul 

Jones. Throughout the Yard stand other monuments and mementoes commemorating the deeds of our great naval heroes and celebrating the Navy's 

finest traditions. 

Currently, a seventy-three-million-dollar construction and rehabilitation 

plan 1s undemay Key structures in this plan are the new science building, 

Michelson Hall, and the adjoining mathematics building, Chauvenet Hall. 

Both were completed in 1968. The 750,000-volume capacity Nimitz Library, 

overlooking the Severn, has just been completed. An ad1acent engineering 

building and laboratory complex is under construction. A full range of facililles and services for student and faculty research, computer-aided education, 

and educational television will be provided throughout the academic comple,. 

All academic areas will be air-conditioned. 

The center of midshipman activity in today's Yard is Bancroft Hall, the 

largest dormitory complex in the world. Stretching over many acres, it houses 

the entire Brigade. All of the basic facilities needed for daily living, as well 

as many for recreation, are found in Bancroft Hall. Press shops provide rapid 

service on midshipmen uniforms which the tailor shops keep fitted and repaired The midshipmen's store is the place to buy daily necessities and an

occasional gift. There are small Protestant and Catholic chapels, with chaplains' offices adjoining. 

The entire Brigade dines together in the spacious and modern Midshipmen's 

Wardroom. Here, midshipmen demonstrate their enthusiasm for the appetizing, freshly prepared meals by taking a 4,500-calorie daily diet in st;ide. 

Laundry and dry cleaning services are provided. There is a cobbler shop, a 

post office, a library, an assembly hall, a bookstore, and the midshipmen's 

radio station. For recreation, there are bowling alleys, squash courts, clubrooms, a photo laboratory, and a band room. On weekends, Memorial Hall 

and Smoke Hall provide attractive settings for informal dancing, and the 

Steerage, or soda fountain, provides an area where midshipmen may relax 

with their dates.

III: Life at Annapolis 

Mission 

The Naval Academy is charged with the responsibility of preparing midshipmen for service as commissioned officers in the U. 5. Navy or Marine Corps. 

In fulfillment of this responsibility, the staff and faculty must ensure not only 

that the academic program is of the highest quality but also that midshipmen 

are imbued with the finest sense of duty, honor, and loyalty, and that they 

are physically prepared for the rigors of commissioned service. This is a 

threefold mission that requires careful organization and a clear set of priorities. 

During the academic year, first priority is 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 in intramural 

or varsity sports and other extra-curricular activities. 

During the summer months the emphasis swings to professional training 

and upperclassmen engage in a program of summer cruises at sea or training 

and indoctrination visits to select naval training activities. Upon completion 

of the assigned summer training program upperclassmen enjoy an extended 

leave period. 

Organization 

To accomplish the uniquely military aspects of the Naval Academy's mission, 

the student body is organized into the Brigade of Midshipmen. The Commandant of Midshipmen, a rear admiral or a senior Navy captain, commands 

the Brigade. He is responsible for instilling high ideals of duty, honor, and 

loyalty; for providing military indoctrination and physical development; and 

for inculcating midshipmen with the desire to achieve the high standards of 

23 
performance required of midshipmen and officers of the naval service. In 

carrying out these responsibilities the Commandant is assisted by an immediate staff, designated the Office of the Commandant, and six subordinate 

departments or groups of officers. The Office of the Commandant 1s composed 

of the Deputy Commandant, the Executive Assistant to the Commandant, 

and three subordinate divisions: Operations, Administration, and First Lieutenant The six departments reporting to the Commandant, each with a 

functional area of responsibility, include the Medical Department, the Physical Education Department, the Dental Department, the Midshipman Supply 

Department, the Brigade Chaplains, and the Brigade Officers 

The Brigade Officers consist of six Battalion Officers, officers of the grade 

of Navy commander or Marine Corps lieutenant colonel; and 36 Company 

Officers, Navy lieutenants and lieutenant commanders, Marine Corps captains 

and ma1ors, and an exchange officer from the U 5. Military Academy These 

officers work and live in close daily contact with the midshipmen in Bancroft 

Hall. Here, by precept and example, the application of sound techniques of 

leadership, counsel, and guidance, and, when required, corrective or disciplinary action, the midshipman is measured, molded, and motivated for the day 

when he will join the Navy or the Marine Corps as a commissioned officer. 

For purposes of military training and administration, the 4,200-man Brigade 

of Midshipmen 1s d1v1ded into two regiments, each of which is divided into 

three battalions. The six battalions are each divided into six companies. Midshipmen of all four classes are assigned to each company-the basic military 

and organizational unit for numerous competttive acttv1ties dunng the vear. 

Each of these military units, from the Brigade down to the 36 companies 

and their subordinate platoons, is under the command of a first classman, 

aided by his midshipmen staff and assistants. Midshipmen are selected by 

the Brigade Officers for these commands and staffs on the basis of their 

demonstrated proficiency in leadership and their other officer-like qualities. 

Years of Development 

The incoming midshipmen are officially designated midshipmen fourth class, 

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

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

senior year, midshipmen first class 

24 



Plebe Year. The new midshipman undergoes a comprehensive program of 

military training and indoctrination from his first day at the Academy until 

the end of plebe year on graduation day the following June. Demands upon 

him and his spare time, all with good reason, seem never-ending. Each midshipman quickly learns during this period that he is a learning subordinate, 

under close supervision and careful guidance. Plebe indoctrination is administered by midshipmen of the first class, assisted by the second classmen, and 

closely supervised by the Commandant and the Brigade Officers. 

Although some form of military training is found at many American colleges and universities, the rigorous routines and challenges of a plebe indoctrination system are unique to the Service Academies. Complementing 

other phases of midshipmen training and education, the system directly 

supports the Naval Academy's mission by developing leadership abilities and 

a basic understanding of military relationships and the military environment. 

Its aim is to leach each plebe to: 

Exercise self-discipline, 

Organize his time and effort effectively, 

Perform efficiently under stress, 

Think and react quickly with good judgment, 

Exhibit an exemplary military bearing and appearance. 

Plebe year is designed to test and develop. It is a deliberate period of testing, requiring a midshipman to stand on his own feet, to produce under pressure, to respond promptly and intelligently to orders and, finally, to measure 

up to the highest standards of character, honor, and morality. 

The first day of plebe summer is a day that most midshipmen will remember for many years. This is scarcely surprising, for in one short day, civilians 

become midshipmen. They are given haircuts, issued unifom1s, taught the 

basics of marching, and served their first meal in the vast M.idshipmen's 

Wardroom Their military indoctrination gets off to a fast start, but they are 

too busy to have lime to worry about it. Civilian ways and days soon seem 

far behind. 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic 

skills in seamanship, navigation, and gunnery Infantry drill, firing an M-1 

rifle under the supervision of U. 5. Marines, sailing Navy yawls, and cruising 

in yard patrol craft make the midshipman a proudly versatile young man. 

Team spirit and the desire to win are developed through competition in a 

28 

wide range of activities, including athletics, dress parades, seamanship, and 

talent shows. 

Plebe summer terminates in late August with Parents' Weekend when 

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

A dress parade, exhibitions in sports, and the opportunity to meet the faculty 

and company officers and go sailing with their sons help to assure parents 

that their sons are taking their new life as midshipmen in stride 

September arrives. Upperclassmen return from at-sea training leave, and 

other summer activities Plebe summer is over, but plebe indortrination continues. The academic year gets underway Four years of studies have begun, 

paced by a demanding daily schedule .. .

September also brings the excitement of football and othPr fall sports. 

During the football season, selected units of the Brigade travel to out-of-tc-wn 

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

travels to Philadelphia for the annual donnybrc-ok with th Rhrlc Knights of 

the Hudson the cadet< of West Point 

Christmas brings 15 20 days of leave, which provides plebes •vith the first 

opportunity to visit their homes since their arrival at the Naval Academy in 

July, and give, all midshipmen a welcome break in the academic routine. 

Classes resume in early Januarv, followed by examinatiors riear the end of 

30 

the month. Exams are followed by a three-day leave period and the start of 

the second semester. Five days of leave break the academic routine over the 

Easter weekend. 

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

relief that it is almost over-yes; yet, at the same time, there are welldeserved feelings of confidence and pride that the challenge has been met. 

Third Class Yea r. At the end of June Week, the first year of intensive indoctrination is ended, and the new third classmen depart on two months of 

training at sea with the Fleet, accompanied by midshipmen of the first class. 

Sea training is followed bv 30 days of leave. 

During his first taste of life at sea in the Navy, the midshipman comes to 

know and respect the Navy's enlisted men whom he will later command and 

upon whom he will depend as an officer. He serves in many capacities and 

actively participates in a wide range of shipboard operations. He stands deck, 

gunnery, operations, and engineering watches; he operates ship's boats, and 

exercises at general shipboard drills. 

With the completion of at-sea training and summer leave, third classmen 

return to the Academy to begin their second academic year. And, although 

the new year brings more responsibilities in infantry drills and in watchstanding, the lessened emphasis on indoctrination leaves more time for sports 

and other extracurricular activities. It is a welcome and deserved change! 

Following the completion of academic study during third class year and 

lhe end of their second June Week, the third classmen become second classmen. 

Second Class Year. During a fast-moving summer, the class undertakes professional studies at the Naval Academy and receives familiarization training 

in the four warfare specialties which comprise the naval service. At the Submarine Base, New London, Conn., each receives an indoctrination to the submarine service through lectures ashore and through visits and short cruises 

on board nuclear submarines of the U. 5. Atlantic Fleet. Traveling to Newport, Rhode Island, the new second classman attends a familiarization course 

at the U. 5. Naval Destroyer School and visits destroyers homeported there. 

Flight indoctrination in naval training and operational aircraft at Pensacola, 

Florida, provides a knowledge of the duties of an officer choosing a career in 

naval aviation. Introduction to the techniques of vertical envelopment and 

amphibious assault, provided by the Marine Corps at one of their major training Facilities, completes the summer's professional training. 

32 

Following summer leave, as the second class midshipmen return to the 

Academy to begin their third academic year, still greater military responsibilities become theirs. Midshipmen officers are selected and trained to direct 

the Brigade during periodic absences of the first class. An important role in 

the indoctrination of the new fourth class is undertaken by the second class. 

In addition to contributing to the development of the fourth classmen, this 

responsibility makes a vital contribution to the second classmen's growth as 

leaders. There is little time for watching the calendar. And, before long, another June Week has come and gone, and first class year is underway. 

first Class Year. During their last summer, all first classmen go to sea with 

the Fleet and assume junior officer responsibilities in their assigned ships. 

Members of the first class assist in the training of third classmen on board 

specially designated Naval Academy cruise ships. Others, carefully chosen, 

also take part in the training and indoctrination of the new plebe class at 

Annapolis, in addition to their regular summer cruise assignment. 

On board the cruise ships the first classman stands the watches and performs the duties of a commissioned naval officer and is exposed to the social 

courtesies, amenities, and customs of wardroom life. Work in navigation, 

watch-standing on the bridge, exercises in the combat information center and 

in the engineering spaces, and lectures and studies on other aspects of shipboard life complete the summer's training with the Fleet. 

Normally, midshipmen train at sea en route to and in foreign waters, and 

thus they visit a number of foreign ports. Visits are made to such places as 

Hawaii, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand in the Pacific; Gibraltar, Barcelona, Cannes, Naples, and Athens in the Mediterranean; and Portsmouth, Hamburg, Copenhagen, and Oslo in Northern Europe. 

The important responsibility assigned the first class in directing the Brigade of Midshipmen has been previouslv noted. Midshipmen officers, called 

stripers, lead the Brigade in parades, ceremonies, and at daily formations. 

They are responsible for the conduct, military smartness, and competitive 

records of their units. They are in charge of the midshipman watch organization in Bancroft Hall. The selection of four sets of midshipmen officers during 

each academic year increases the individual opportunity for this valuable 

leadership experience. The fourth, or June Week, set of stripers is selected by 

the Commandant from among the most capable midshipmen in the first three. 

In carrying out these demanding responsibilities, the first class midshipman finds himself calling upon all the leadership skills he has developed 

during his first three years. Thus, following this final year of practical experi-

.3-1 
ence, graduation finds him well prepared to assume his leadership responsibilities in the Navy or the Marine Corps as a newly commissioned officer. 

The Professional Training Program 

The Commandant directs the Academy's professional training program. The 

program encompasses a wide range of professional trainjng and drills, and is 

designed to provide graduates with a sound foundation in the fundamental 

specialized subjects and skills required of a professional naval or Marine 

Corps officer. 

Over 2,000 hours are devoted to building this foundation during the midshipman's four years at the Academy. A midshipman's class standing at 

graduation depends significantly on his professional training performance. 

Included in the program are lectures, practical training, physical education, 

and a variety of evolutions and drills in which the midshipmen learn by 

doing. Progressing from basic military and naval knowledge to the presentation of more advanced information and concepts, the program supports and 

complements both the military life within the Brigade and the professionallyoriented academic courses. A description of the courses, drills, and training 

making up the professional training program begins on page 125. 

Leave and Privileges 

The amount of personal freedom and the privileges granted a midshipman 

vary directly with his seniority, his responsibility, and his performance. A 

first classman not only will have more responsibility in the administration 

of the Brigade, but he will also have more privtleges. Proficiency in academic 

work and in military aptitude is also rewarded with extra privileges. 

There are several regular periods of leave of absence from the Academy 

during the year. These include Christmas leave, a period of 15-20 days; 

end-of-semester leave, a three-day break at the end of the first semester in 

January; spring leave, a period of about five days, including Easter Weekend; and the month-long summer leave for the three new upper classes. 

In addition to leave, midshipmen are granted liberty in the Annapolis area. 

Like all other privileges, the amount varies with seniority and responsibility. 

Fourth classmen are granted liberty on Saturday afternoons and dining-out 

privileges with relatives and close friends on Saturdays and Sundays. They are 

permitted to have dates on at least four weekends in addition to June Week. 

First, second, and third classmen have liberty on Saturday afternoons and 

evenings, and on Sunday afternoons. In addition, second classmen rate liberty

on Wednesday afternoons and first classmen rate liberty weekday afternoons and on Friday evenings. Weekday liberties begin after classes are 

completed for the day. 

Weekend liberty is granted to upperclassmen. Midshipmen third class 

may take two weekends each semester; second class midshipmen receive 

three each semester. First classmen are not limited in the number of weekends they are authorized to take; however, a certain percentage are required 

to remain at the Naval Academy during the weekend period in order to carry 

out the administrative functions of the Brigade. Additional weekends may 

be granted to midshipmen of the second and third classes for noteworthy 

academic performance or other individual achievements. 

Cultural Affairs Program 

To enrich life at the Academy and stimulate a lively interest in the performing 

arts within the Brigade, the Cultural Affairs Program, sponsored by the English Department, offers many opportunities for midshipmen to attend the 

finest professional productions of dramas, operas, symphonies, and ballets in 

nearby \ Vashington and Baltimore. Field trips throughout the academic year 

are made to the Kennedy Center and other outstanding theatres by interested 

midshipmen and their guests. 

Physical Education 

In supporting the mission of the Naval Academy, the program of the Physical 

Education Department makes a vital contribution to the physical development 

of midshipmen. The program continues throughout the four years. All midshipmen participate 

The program's aims are to develop skill, confidence, teamwork, endurance, 

agility, and competitive spirit; to develop useful habits of physical fitness; to 

develop the capability to train and instruct others; and to develop the background and capability to withstand physical hardship. Equally important, the 

program aims to be enjoyable, to provide a release from the academic routine, 

to develop a lasting appreciation for sports in general, and to develop individual skills in carry-over sports for enjoyment after graduation. 

The program gets off to a fast start during plebe summer Preliminary 

testing of posture, swimming capability, and general athletic ability is followed by instruction and practice in boxing, wrestling, lacrosse, fencing, 

soccer, rugby, gymnastics, crew, golf, tennis, squash racquets, swimming and 

track. 

40 
The pace continues during the first academic year. Instruction is given in 

swimming, boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, golf, personal conditioning, squash 

racquets, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. In addition, midshipmen develop their 

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

strength, agility, swimming, boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, and during a mile 

run and on the obstacle course. 

The final three years provide increasingly advanced instruction and demanding tests. For additional details of the Physical Education Department 

and its program, refer to chapter 8. 

Medical and Dental Care 

The finest medical and dental care 1s provided each midshipman. Facilities 

in Bancroft Hall are modern and extensive. Daily sick calls, when necessary, 

and periodic physical and dental examinations help keep midshipmen in excellent health. If hospitalization is necessary, there are the more complete 

facilities of the Naval Hospital at the Academy as well as those of the nearby 

Naval Hospital at the world-famous National Naval Medical Center in 

Bethesda, Maryland. 

legal Assistance 

Midshipmen are provided professional legal advice and assistance for problems of a personal nature by the legal Assistance Officer in his professional 

capacity as a lawyer in uniform. His office is located in the Administration 

Building. 

41 

Religious Activities 

The copper-green dome of the chapel towers over the other buildings at the 

Naval Academy and, ,n a sense, acts as a symbol of Annapolis to the outside 

world. This is not merely a coincidence. Over the decades of American history, fighting men have learned by experience that there is a dimension to 

military leadership-both in and out of combat-which is essential to real 

effectiveness. This is the spiritual factor, the intangible thing we call moral 

courage. 

What 1s it that strengthens men in the daily battles of life? Where do they 

turn for help and reassurance in times of special stress? What makes them 

capable of decisions that disregard political or personal expediency? The 

answers to these questions vary widely among individuals who serve in the 

Armed Forces-there are perhaps as many answers as there are individual 

fighting men. 

An awareness of the diverse concerns and needs of their men both in the 

daily routine of life and in times of stress and danger is an essential dimension of the responsibility of being an officer. It is a major reason why the 

Naval Academy has long had a program designed to produce an appreciation 

in its graduates of the spiritual and moral dimensions of military leadership. 

Attendance at religious services is optional; however, midshipmen are encouraged to worship according to the dictates of their own consciences. They 

are reminded that, as officers in the naval service, their personal beliefs will 

often be tested, and that, in times of stress, their men will look to them for 

spiritual as well as professional guidance. The Naval Academy believes that 

future officers owe it to themselves and to their men to gain insights into the 

moral, ethical, and religious dimensions of leadership and, therefore, urges 

midshipmen to take full advantage of opportunities for worship and moral 

development 

Some midshipmen prefer a service in the tradition of their own faith pursued at one of the many local churches in Annapolis. Others select the Academy's Protestant or Catholic chapel services which periodically feature nationally famous guest preachers and lecturers. Whatever the approach chosen 

by the individual, he is encouraged and provided many opportunities to seek 

the strength and inspiration that comes from friendship with God.

IV: The Naval Profession 

Ours is a complex Navy-one whose ships range every ocean, whose officers 

and men not only sail the seas but are also engaged in research and construction from the tropics to the poles, whose supersonic planes have provided 

the training ground for America's first astronauts, whose nuclear submarines 

are a testimony to America's engineering genius, whose leaders advise in the 

highest councils of government, and whose Mannes stand second to none 

when tales of valor are told Though ours is a vastly complicated and technological Navy, the human being is, in the end, all-important. It is an organization which puts a high premium on leaders with vision, dedication, and 

ability. It is a Navy with a proud past and a promising future, broad enough 

to provide a stimulating challenge in a spectrum of interesting fields. 

After four intensive years of learning at Annapolis, the Naval Academy 

graduate is ready to assume the responsibilities of an officer in the greatest 

Navy or the finest Marine Corps in the world. 

First Duty 

An Annapolis graduate's first career opportunity comes in his choice of duty 

following graduation. The priority assigned his individual preference is dependent upon a number of factors, including his class standing, the needs 

of the Navy, and his personal qualifications. Every attempt is made to assign 

him to the duty and locality he requests. 

Whatever his initial operational duty, he will usually find that his responsibilities are greater than those of his contemporaries in civilian life. Most 

Naval Academy graduates are commissioned as ensigns in the line and are, 

thus, headed ultimately for command at sea. As a matter of policy the great 

ma1ority of graduates initially go to sea in a combatant-type surface ship1.e., aircraft carrier, cruiser, destroyer, or amphibious warfare ship A certain 

percentage of the graduates may volunteer and be selected for warfare specialties or programs, such as aviation, nuclear power (either submarine or 

surface), and special warfare 

45 
Prospective aviators go to sea with the Fleet for 6 to 15 months before 

entering flight training. Most of those selected for the nuclear power program 

go directly to nuclear power school following graduation; the others follow 

within a few months. Graduate programs leading to advanced degrees are 

available to a small number of new graduates. Normally these special programs will follow a short tour of sea duty. 

A maximum of 16 percent of Annapolis graduates may volunteer for appointment in the Marine Corps as second lieutenants and must complete 

basic training before joining regular Marine units or commencing flight 

training. 

A small number are commissioned on graduation in the Civil Engineer 

Corps, or as engineering duty officers. The civil engineer designees, after a 

short tour in a public works or Seabee command, proceed to graduate studies 

at a civilian university. Supply Corps officers attend a special Navy school of 

several months' duration prior to their first operating assignments. The engineenng duty officers (specialists in such fields as ship and aircraft design, 

construction and maintenance, ordnance, electronics, etc.) will normally serve 

on board ship before returning to graduate study Those who have completed 

the bioscience major at the Academy (up to two percent of the class) commence four years of studies at medical school after which they begin careers 

as Navy medical officers. 

Officer Career Patterns 

Within the framework of the needs of the service, an officer determines his 

own career pattern to a significant degree through his requests for assignments afloat and ashore, his advanced studies, and, of course, by his performance. After his initial lour al sea, the young officer has a fairly well 

developed idea of what career pattern he would like to follmv. Line officers 

seek sea duty assignments that will prepare them for command of a surface 

ship, submarine, or aircraft squadron. Tours al sea are alternated with shore 

duty. Graduate studies provide line officers with sub-specialties which are 

generally exercised during assignments ashore. These sub-specialties include 

such varied fields as naval intelligence, oceanography, communications, meteorology, nuclear engineering, aeronautical engineering, management, international relations, and personnel administration. Officers aspiring to command al sea will serve in a variety of ships or aircraft squadrons in different 

capacities, as well as in staff and planning billets afloat and ashore, in the 

United States and overseas. 



It is at once a satisfying and a demanding life. The naval or Marine Corps 

officer, as he advances in seniority, presents many faces to the world: professional sailor, Marine, aviator, engineer, scientist, administrator, diplomat, 

or educator. His is not just a job, but a way of life-a career dedicated to the 

service of the United States and its people, carrying with it high professional 

prestige and opportunities for broad experience, a career which rewards the 

industrious, the loyal, and the imaginative. It is a career for those with a zeal 

for strenuous living, patriotism, and dedication to an ideal of real meaning, a 

meaning which can be translated into a lifetime of adventure and service in 

the Navy or Marine Corps of the United States. 

Officer Education and Training 

Upon graduation and commissioning, the new officer may lay his books aside 

momentarily, but his theoretical and practical education will continue as long 

as he is in the service. From graduation day forward, he will continue to 

prepare himself for assignments of greater responsibLlity and professional 

attainment by acquiring practical experience ashore and aAoat and through 

advanced academic work. The extent of his attainment is limited only by his 

ability, initiative, energy, and resourcefulness, commensurate with logical 

career planning and execution. 

The Naval Academy is considered but the first step on the educational 

ladder, and so the Navy and Marine Corps sponsor a wide variety of graduate 

programs at both naval and civilian institutions, designed to prepare the 

officer for higher responsibilities. This move toward graduate education begins 

before graduation for midshipmen who are selected for scholarships in civilian 

universities or for Navy-sponsored graduate programs. 

Navy functional and basic technical courses provide the initial post-commissioning training for many officers. Mostly of short duration, they are in 

such fields as communications, weapons, antisubmarine warfare, damage 

control, electronics, and amphibious warfare 

After the first tour (two to four years) of operational duty with the Fleet, 

many qualified Naval Academy graduates may expect orders to graduate 

study for one or more vears. The variety of fields available include mathematics, physics, general science, nuclear and aeronautical engineering, oceanography, management, political science, international relations, naval intelligence, and others. For the best-qualified, the way is open to a doctorate. 

Courses are conducted at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Cali50 
fornia, the Naval Intelligence School, \\'ashington, D. C, the Test Pilot 

School, Patuxent Rivl'r, Maryland; and at various civilian institutions such ,1s 

The Carnegie Institute of Technologv Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 

M IT, Princeton, Stanford, and Tulane. 

Opportunities for graduate work continue throughout an officer's career. 

Senior w.u colleges in part1Cular are noted for bringing offilers up to date on 

problems of international import and for relattng these problems to our 

global strategy The officer who aspires to positions of high responsibilitv 

must, of necessity, continue to grow intellectually and thus he will be a student during all of his professional life Appendix F is a brief summary of 

graduate study opportunities offered by the Navy and Marine Corps. 

The ever-increasing importance of our Navy in defense of this countrv 

and fulfillment of our national pol1Cy commitments has opened the way for 

an unprecedented number of career opportunities for a naval or Marine 

Corps officer. Fleet and field operational experience continues to be an important constant in the career pattern, but the need for specialists trained in 

technical fields, governmental atfa1rs, education, training. or managerial skills 

expands at a rate that can be satisfied onlv by a commitment of the Navy to 

the concept of an educated officer. This commitment has been made and reaffirmed at everv level of leadership in the Department of the Navv . A career 

off1Cer becomes a part of this commitment and he can be assured that his professional talents and intellectual ability will be enhanced bv advanced education and assignments that challenge his interests and capabilities.

V: Admissions 

Each year, the Naval Academy selects approximately 1,300 young men for 

admission to the plebe (freshman) class. These young men come from every 

stale in the Union and from backgrounds reflecting every facet of American 

life. The Naval Academy encourages this diversity and recognizes the value 

and promise of a Brigade enriched by a membership of men representing 

every race, creed, color, and background found in this nation. Students from 

minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply for admission. The number 

of minority students in recent entering classes has risen sharply. The Class 

of 1976 included 94 (seven percent of the class) from racial minorities. 

Certain general eligibility requirements for candidates do exist. A candidate 

must be a male, at least 17 years of age, and he must not have passed his 

22nd birthday by 1 July in the year of admission. He must never have been 

married and, except for limited quotas of foreign midshipmen specifically authorized by Congress, he must be a citizen of the United States. 

Meeting these requirements, an interested young man must then proceed 

to obtain a nomination, qualify medically and physically, and compete for 

selection The Admissions Board examines each candidate's school records, 

SAT or ACT scores, recommendations from school officials, extracurricular 

activities, and other evidence of his character, leadership potential, academic 

aptitude and achievement, and physical fitness. Qualification for admission is 

based on consideration of all of the above factors. 

High School Program 

Candidates are expected to have pursued studies in high school that will prepare them for a rigorous college program. The quality of the work is important. The great ma1ority of young men accepted for admission to Annapolis 

come from the top 20 percent of their high school classes, and chances for 

admission are very limited for those who stand below the top 40 percent. 

While the Academy does not have rigid requirements concerning the subjects 

53 
II 

• 

which must be included in the school record, candidates are strongly urged to 

include the following subjects in their high school or prep school curricula: 

Mathematics 4 years, including trigonometry, English- 4 years, Modem 

Language 2 years, Chemistry l year, Physics 1 year. 

A small percentage of each plebe class will have had at least one semester 

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

the Academy as plebes. The Admissions Board requires that applicants furnish transcripts of any college work they have taken. 

Tests 

Either the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Scholastic Aptitude 

Test (SAT) or the American College Testing Program (ACT) test is required 

of each candidate. These tests may be taken at any time they are offered, but 

not later than February of the year of admission to Annapolis. Candidates 

interested in advanced placement (validation) are encouraged to take the appropriate College Board Achievement test(s). Since achievement tests are not 

considered in determining scholastic qualification for admission, they may be 

taken as late as May.

Testing Program, P. 0. Box 414, Iowa City, Iowa 52240 

Some Congressmen and other authorized nominators use competitive examinations of the U 5. Civil Service Commission solely to assist them in 

evaluating and selecting their candidates. These special competitive examina54 
tions are a tool to assist in the nomination process, but they do not determine 

a candidate's scholastic qualifications for admission to the Academy. The 

Naval Academy requirements for the SAT or ACT tests must still be met. 

Obtaining a Nomination 

A young man must obtain a nomination to be considered for an appointment 

as a midshipman It is advisable to apply for nomination d11ri11g tl,e spring 

of one's junior year in high school, because many members of Congress 

evaluate candidates during the summer months and some nominate in early 

fall. Most candidates will be notified of their nomination by the end of January during their senior year. There are many sources of nomination and the 

young man should apply to nil sources for which he is eligible, which always 

include his Representative, both Senators, and the Vice President. The following is a listing of all nomination sources. 

U. S. Senators, Representatives, the Delegate to the Congress from the District of Columbia, and the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico. Each may 

have five midshipmen attending the Academy at any one time. Ten nominat10ns may be made for each vacancy It is 11ot necessary to know the official 

personally. The candidate should apply directly to his two Senators and to 

the Representative from his Congressional District. See Appendix A for a 

sample letter of application. 

The President. The President may appoint 100 midshipmen each year. These 

competitive appointments are limited by law to sons of career officers and 

enlisted personnel of the Armed Forces, including Coast Guard, who are 

either on active duty (other than for training) and who have served continuously on active duty for at least eight vears, or who are retired with pay 

or have died while retired with pay (other than those retired under Section 

1331 of Title 10, USC retirement al age 60 for combined active and inactive service of at least 20 years). Application should be made by 15 December to the Superintendent, U.S. Naval Academy (Attn: Candidate Guidance Office), Annapolis, Maryland 21402 See Appendix A for a sample letter 

of application. 

The Vice President. Nominating from the United States at large, the Vice 

President may have five midshipmen attending the Academy at any one time. 

He nominates ten for each vacancy. Application should be made by 1 September to the Office of the Vice President, Washington, D. C. 20501. 

55 
Governors of Puerto Rico, the Canal Zone, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and 

American Samoa. Residents should apply to the appropriate official. 

Regular Navy and Marine Corps. One year of active duty is required by 1 

July of the year of ddmission. Eighty-five appointments are authorized each

Servicemen Missing in Action. Sons of armed forces members who were 

killed in action, or who died from wounds, injuries, or disease received while 

on active duty; or who sustained 100 percent disability from such wounds, 

injuries, or disease; and sons of prisoners of war or servicemen missing in 

action, are eligible. In addition, the sons of civilians who have been designated 

as in a POW or MIA status are also eligible. A maximum of 65 appointees 

may be at the Academy at any one time Applicants should write to the 

Superintendent, U 5 Naval Academy (Attn: Candidate Guidance Office),

Congressional Nominating Procedures 

For each vacancy he has at the Academy, a Congressman may nominate ten 

candidates. He mav designate them as "principal," "1st alternate," "2nd 

56 
alternate," and so on to "9th alternate"; he may nominate a principal and 

nine competitive alternates, for evaluation by the Naval Academy; or he may 

simply nominate a slate of ten competitors to be evaluated by the Naval 

Academy for the vacancy. In all cases, the vacancy is filled by the top man 

on the list who is accepted for admission by the Naval Academy. But this does 

not mean that the others are no longer considered. In fact, if particularly well 

qualified, it is possible that they all may be accepted for admission as qualified alternates or competitors. 

Admission of Qualified Alternates and Competitors 

Each year the Naval Academy admits several hundred qualified alternates and 

qualified competitors to bring the entering class to the desired number Thus, 

a young man nominated by a member of Congress, but not appointed to fill 

his vacancy, is still considered on a competitive basis for Annapolis, if he is 

qualified. No special application is necessary, as 11/1 qualified candidates will 

be considered automatically. 

Readmission of Former Midshipmen 

In addition to obtaining a new nomination and completing the other normal 

admission requirements, approval of the Academic Board is required for readmission of former midshipmen Requests should be addressed to the Dean 

of Admissions. 

Medical Examination 

Applicants must pass a very thorough medical examination designed to ensure 

that they possess the physical and mental fitness and the personality and behavior characteristics necessary for adjustment to service life and to carry 

out the rigorous demands of the Naval Academy program. Physically fit 

young men in good health and who have normal vision usually have little 

difficulty in passing the examination. Candidates should carefully review the 

detailed physical standards contained in Appendix 8. Candidates having less 

than 20/20 uncorrected vision and/or having defective color vision should 

take careful note of the Eyes and Vision section, Appendix 8. Those who wear 

contact lenses must comply with special examination procedures. 

Physical examinations of candidates are conducted only at designated 

service academy medical examining centers. Examinations will be conducted 

57 
,. 

only for those candidates who have been officially scheduled by the U. S. 

Service Academies Central Medical Review Board (SACMRB), a tri-service 

agenc1 having responsibility for scheduling and evaluating examinations for 

,111 of the U. S. service academies. Congressional sponsors (or in the case of 

non-Congressional types of nominations, the Naval Academy) will provide 

candidates with an Authorization for a Service Academy Medical Examination 

Card to be completed by the candidate and forwarded to SACMRB. SACMRB 

wUI schedule the examination at the examining center nearest the candidate's 

home. [t is mandatory that the candidate provide his Social Security number 

on the request card. 

Notification of Qua lification and Selection for Appointment 

All candidates are notified of their qualification status by 15 April. Offers of 

appointment are made on a continuing basis from 15 October to 1 May. Fully 

qualified candidates who have not been offered an appointment by 1 May 

will, in all probability, not be selected. The new class is admitted in early July. 

Pay and Expenses 

The pay of the midshipman is 5283.05 per month, commencing on the date of 

his admission. This salarv permits him to pay his own expenses; i.e., for uniforms, books, equipment laundrv, income tax, and spending money while 

at the Naval Academy. On graduation dav. the average midshipman will have 

accrued savings of approximately 51,500.00 in his account in addition to a 

complete seabag of required officer uniforms. 

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

the midshipmen's storekeeper the sum of 5300, to be used in partial payment for uniforms clothing, etc. In cases of extreme hardship this sum may 

be reduced to Sl 00, in which case money allowances for the individual will 

be reduced until the individual's account reaches prescribed levels. The 

amount deposited is not refunded, but is expended at entrance for clothing, 

uniforms, etc., which become the property of the midshipman. 

The regulation entrance outfit, plus the additional uniforms, clothing, textbooks, and expenses required the first year, are valued at approximately 

52,000. The deposit made at the time of entrance is supplemented by an entrance credit of 5600 upon first admission to the Naval Academy The 5600 

credit 1s an interest-free loan advanced by the government to defray the cost 

of the uniforms and equipment required during the first year Repayment of 

.58 
I 
the indebtedness is accomplished by monthly deductions of 540 from the 

midshipman's pay, beginning in February of the first vear at the Naval 

Academy and continuing until the indebtedness is liquidated. 

Service Obligation 

Candidates entering the Naval Academy from civilian life, who have not 

previously acquired a military obligation, will automatically do so upon 

acceptance of appointment as midshipmen at the U. 5. Naval Academy. Under Section 651 of Title 10, U. 5. Code, any person who is enlisted, inducted, 

or appointed in any of the Armed Services or their reserve components 

acquires automatically a six-year military obligation. Section V.A.l. of Department of Defense Directive 1332.23 of 9 May 1968 includes appointees 

to the service academies among those who are subject to the six-year obligation. Of this six-year obligation, five years are to be served as a commissioned 

officer on active duty. Enlisted members of the Armed Forces who accept 

appointments as midshipmen at the Naval Academy will not be discharged 

from their enlistment contracts or from their period of obligated service while 

they are in the status of midshipmen, except for physical disability or because 

of the acceptance of a commission. (Act of 25 June 1956, 1 2, re-enacted 10 

U. 5. Code 516.) 

Midshipmen in this category who are separated from the Naval Academy, 

except for one of the two reasons given above, will have their appointments 

as midshipmen terminated and will immediately resume their enlisted status. 

Members so reverted will be required to serve out their enlistments or obligated service, unless sooner discharged In computing the unexpired portion 

of an enlistment contract or period of obligated service, the time served as a 

midshipman shall be counted as time served under such contract or period of 

obligated service. 

Agreement Signed by Entering Midshipmen 

Upon adm1ss1on, each midshipman who is a citizen of the United States will 

be required to sign an agreement, with the consent of his parents or guardian 

if a minor, that he will fulfill these obligations: 

He will complete the Academy course of instruction (unless he 1s disenrolled from the Academy by competent authority). 

He will accept an appointment and sen•e as a commissioned officer on 

active duty in the U. 5. Navy or U. 5. Marine Corps for at least five years 

immediately after graduation. 

60 
If authorized to resign from the Regular Navy before the sixth anniversary 

of his graduation, he will serve as a commissioned officer in the Naval Reserve 

until the sixth anniversary. 

Resignations and Separations 

Fourth and third classmen (freshmen and sophomores): A resignation tendered by a fourth or third classman (or a resignation tendered by a second 

classman prior to the beginning of the second class academic year) will be 

accepted when found to be in the best interests of the service. 

Second and first classmen: After the commencement of his second class 

academic year, a second or first classman who is separated prior to completing the course of instruction, except for physical disability, unfitness or 

unsuitability, will normally be transferred to the Naval Reserve in an enlisted 

status and be ordered to active duty for not less than two years under the 

provisions of Title 10, U. 5. Code 695gb. Where separation occurs as a re~ult 

of deficiencies that are not considered willful, the active duty provision may 

be waived. 

Refusal to accept commission: Any first classman who completes the 

course of instruction and declines to accept an appointment as a commissioned 

officer will be transferred to the ResPrve component in an appropriate enlisted 

status and ordered to active duty for four years. 

A midshipman who is separated after having entered the Naval Academy 

from the Regular or Reserve component of any service will revert to his 

former status under the appropriate statutory provisions. Completion or 

partial completion of a prior service obligation by ,1 separat<'d midshipman 

who entered from this status does not necessarily cxt'mpt him from transfer

Questions 

and 

Answers 

65 

Over the years it has been the experience of the Naval 

Academy that a great many misconceptions exist concerning admission procedures, methods of obtaining nominations, qualifications, and other factors pertaining to selection 

and admission. The following questions are those most 

often asked by prospective candidates and the answers 

may help you to clear up any doubts or misunderstandings 

you may have concerning this all important subject. 

Q. 1'\1/io can become a mirlsliiprnan? 

A. Admission is open to young men of good moral character, without regard to race, creed or national origin. 

Candidates must be male citizens of the United States, 

never married, who are at least 17 years of age but not 

past their 22nd birthday on 1 July of the year of admission. 

Q. What must I do to become a midshipman? 

A. Obtain a nomination, qualify scholastically (acceptable entrance examination scores-either American College 

Testing Program (ACT) tests or College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT); acceptable 

secondary school record, including college-preparatory 

work; top 40 percent of class}, and meet prescribed medical 

and physical standards. Be selected for an appointment. 

Q. Where may I obtain detailed information on admission req11ireme11ts? 

A. Information may be obtained from the Naval Academy Information Officer in your area, from high school 

guidance counselors, from your local Navy recruiter, from 

the West Coast Regional Candidate Guidance Office, NAS 

Drawer A, Moffett Field, California 94035, or by writing 

to the Candidate Guidance Office, U. 5. Naval Academy, 

Annapolis, Maryland 21402. 

Q. I don't know my Congressman. How do I get a 

nomination? 
66 

A. It is not necessary to know him personally. Apply to 

your Congressional Representative and to both of your 

Senators by mail; your application will be considered carefully. Each member of Congress is authorized to have five 

of his appointees attending the Academy at any one time. 

Each Congressman is authorized to nominate up to ten 

candidates for each vacancy. The essential thing to remember is that, by law, you must have a nomination to be considered for appointment to the Naval Academy. Once )'OU 

are nominated, you officially become a candidate and your 

record is then evaluated by the Nava] Academy on its 

merits. Even if you are not selected to fill a Congressman's 

vacancy, if you have one of his nominations and have a 

good school record and otherwise meet the basic entry 

standards, you will have an excellent chance to become a 

midshipman. Each year several hundred of the best qualified alternate Congressional nominees are appointed to the 

Naval Academy by the Secretary of the Navy to bring the 

entering class up to authorized strength. 

Q. l nm n member of the Nnval Resenie. How cnn l get 

into the Acnrlemy? 

A. A minimum of 85 enlisted reservists (Navy and Marine Corps), on active duty or members of drilling units, 

may qualify to enter the Academy each year. See your 

commanding officer for details. 

Q. lf l mn eligible for both Congressio11nl nm/ Presirlentinl 110111inafio11s, cnn I request nomination from more tlia11 

one source? 

A. Yes, and you should do so. The more nominations you 

obtain, the better chance you will have for selection if you 

are found fully qualified. 

Q. /,; 1t difficult to e11ter tlie Acnrlemy directly from higli 

,c/100/' 

A. No. Nine out of ten midshipmen enter directly from 

high school or prep school. 

Q. My grnrles were nbo11t nvernge, b11t I plnyerl in sev-
67 

ernl sports and was student body president. Also, 1 lind to 

work after sclrool. Will tliese activities help me? 

A. Yes. Evidence of leadership ability and participation 

in extracurricular activities, including athletics and parttime jobs, carries considerable weight in the candidate 

evaluation process. 

Q. I have a high IQ and nm a str11ig/1t-A st11de11t. Will 

most of my time be spent on military subjects, or may / 

take any electives, such as electrical engineering? 

A. From 23 to 38 percent (depending on the major selected) of the Academy's curriculum is devoted to professional military studies; but at the Academy you will complete at least 140 rather than the 120 semester hours typical 

of most civilian colleges. You will have a choice of 27 

academic majors, from Far Eastern Studies to Mathematics 

to Electrical Engineering. Advanced research projects are 

offered in these and many o ther areas. 

Q. \A/hat part of the medical examination gives the most 

difficulty to candidntes' 

A. The eye examination. Visual acuity of 20/ 20 is required. However, a limited number of outstanding candidates may be granted waivers for visual acuity if the refractive error is not excessive and the vision is correctable 

to 20/20. 

Q. I don't like sports. Do I /11me to try 0111 for anything? 

A. If you really dislike sports, then the Naval Academy 

may not be the best school for you. A midshipman is required to participate in athletics, either varsity or intramural, for the development of his character, physical fitness, and competitive spirit. 

Q. How nmch does it cost to be a 111ids/1ipman nt the 

l\cademy? 

A. Tuition, room and board, and medical and dental care 

are provided by the government. In addition, midshipmen 

receive a $283.05 monthly salary for uniforms, books, and 

personal needs. Salary and the value of the daily ration 

allowance ($1.76 day) accrue to a midshipman's pay ac-
68 

count while he is on leave. A $300.00 deposit is required 

on entry. 

Q. How often 11111y I visit l10111e~ 

A. During Christmas and spring leaves. ln addition, 

month-long summer leaves are granted to the three upper 

classes. You must pay for your own travel. 

Q. How 111nny f/1111k out? 

A. Losses run approximately 33% over the entire 4-year 

program for an average class. About one-third of these are 

academic failures. 

Q. Do I get to fly'! 

A. All midshipmen receive Aight indoctrination in naval 

aircraft during their third summer. After graduation, selected volunteers receive Aight training leading to designation as aviators in the Navy or Marine Corps. 

Q. Do I get to choose nnp of my co11rses? 

A. Yes, you will choose vour major and the maiority of 

your courses. 

Q. How 11111ch socinl lite would I hnvr nl the Academy? 

A. Social hfe is limited during the first year. After the 

initial (plebe) year, there is a wide range of social activities available. There are weekend dances and other extracurricular activities at the Academv, and there are opportunities for afternoon liberties in town and for a number 

of weekends away from the Academy. 

Q. I <1111 r1 high school fresli111n11. IV/1e11 should I sfnrf 

prep11ri11g myself for the Acncle111y? 

A. Now! Your entire four-year high school record in 

academics and in athletics and other e,tracurricular activities will be evaluated by the Naval Academy. 

Q. I 11111 111 college now. ls if too lnte to enter the Academy? 

A. No. As long as you will not have passed your 2.2nd 

birthday on 1 July of the year of admission. Prior college 

work will permit study of advanced courses at the Academy. Normally, about six percent of the members of each 
__-: 

69 

entering class have been in a civilian college prior to entering the Naval Academy. 

Q. If I failed to receive an appoi11t111e11t for 011e class, am 

I e/1gi/1/e to apply again: 

A. Yes. But a candidate who failed to be selected for an 

appointment in a previous year must obtain a new nomination and complete the entire admissions process in order to 

again be considered for an appointment. 

Q. When should I apply~ 

A. Apply to your Representative or Senators for a nomination, whenever possible, in the spring of your junior 

year in high school. Although a few apply as late as December of their senior year, this is not advised since most 

members of Congress will have selected their nominees by 

this time. 

Q. I Vlrnt 1s my military obligntwn on gmd11at10n? 

A. The total military service obligation of an Academy 

graduate is six years. Current directives require five of 

these to be on active duty as a commissioned officer in the 

Navy or Marine Corps. 

Q. Can I become a Navy p/1ysicia11 or dentist? 

A. About two percent of each projected graduating class 

-about 17 midshipmen-may major in bioscience. Following graduation they ue sent to medical school for further study. The program is for prospective pltysicinns, 

only. A ten-year service obligation is incurred at the completion of medical school. It should be emphasized that the 

Academy is probably not the best solution for students who 

aspire specifically to be physicians, as only a s111all percentage may pursue the pre-med program at Annapolis. 

Q. My father was in the armed forces Will this help 111<' 

to get a no111i11atio11? 

A. Sons of career members of the regular and reserve 

forces who are on active duty or who are retired may be 

considered for a nomination under the Presidential category. 

Q. What types of majors nre offered at the Academy? 

71 

A. The twenty-seven maiors offered by the Academy include Analytical Management, Aerospace Engineering, History Ocean Engineering, English, European Studies, Phys 

ics, and many others. 

Q. I \'l1<'re rio 111irls/11p111e11 /we: 

A . They arc housed in one building, Bancroft Hall, the 

largest dorm1torv in the world. Bancroft Hall h.:is more 

than 1.8 miles of corridors and 33 acres of floor space. 

Each room has ,ts own shower and all rooms have been 

remodeled in recent vears. The \.1idshipmen's Wardroom 

is also located in Bancroft Hall Here all -1,300 midshipmen 

are able to sit down and eat at one lime. The food is served 

family style. Bancroft Hall is named after George Bancroft 

who was Secretary of the Na\')' when the Naval Academy 

was founded. The Hall contains a store medical and dental facilities, and a soda fountain, bowling alleys, and 

numerous other recreational facilities.

1s acceptable for all service academies. 

Q. 11\1/wt reasons arc .~ive11 111ost frequently /,y plcln•s 

ol o resign from t/1<• Academy? 

A. We have found that resigning plebes most frequently 

say 

(1) They came to the Academy under parental pressure. 

After a few weeks as plebes, thev feel that they have fulfilled the,r obligation to their parents and resign. 

(2) They were attracted to the Academy by its glamour. 

They knew that the academic program was demanding, but 

they failed to realize the extent of the daily dem,mds made 

on their time by the military and professional aspects of 

the training at Annapolis. Some, apparently, were expecting more of a relaxed, college-type NROTC program than 

the regimen of a service academv 

VI: The Curriculum Challenge 

The young man entering the Naval Academy can be confident that the professional education and training at Annapolis will give him the knowledge and 

skills he will need to perform his future military duties effectively. The development of professional officers has been central to the objectives of the 

Naval Academy since its founding over 125 years ago. It is today. But today's 

Naval Academy offers considerably more. As a professionally-oriented 

academic institution, it offers in-depth studies in 27 major programs. The 

curriculum is demanding, and its many choices are designed to challenge each 

midshipman in terms of his own 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 all-inclusive 

educational package to every graduate. Rather, it undertakes to produce in 

every graduating class a group of individual line officers- all well trained in 

basic professional subjects- who collectively possess the wide range of 

knowledge and capabilities demanded of the officers in our modern Navy. 

To attain breadth in his education, each midshipman must satisfy certain 

minimum course requirements in social sciences and humanities, mathematics 

and science. To ensure depth, he completes a major sequence from a variety 

of fields designed to provide him with the academic background necessary for 

effective leadership in today's Navy. Consistent with the Navy's technical 

orientation is the requirement that 40 percent of the midshipmen major in 

one of the engineering disciplines; 30 percent in one of the physical sciences, 

math, or operations analysis; 20 percent in one of the humanities or social 

sciences; and 10 percent in analytical management. 

The Navy has an ever-increasing need for officers educated in the engineering disciplines and thus offers extensive opportunities to its officers for graduate work and career specialties or subspecialties in engineering programs. 

Completion of any engineering major at the Academy, except General Engineering, leads to a designated engineering degree. Additionally, four of the 

73 
engineering programs have been accredited by the Engineers' Council for 

Professional Development. 

Choosing a Major 

The midshipman's choice of a ma1or governs the number of related and 

supporting courses required in science, engineering, mathematics, or foreign 

languages. Majors in 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 require a substantial amount of foreign language study, 

but only three semesters of mathematics. 

Some plebes are sure of their study preferences and their academic aptitudes when they first arrive at the Academy. However, a midshipman is 

normally not ready to make a firm major selection at the beginning of his 

plebe year. He may have a general idea of his area of interest, without being 

sure of which major he should take. He may not yet know whether his 

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

may very well discover that his real interests and abilities do not fit the 

requ1remenls of the major fields he 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 his ability 

and help him to evaluate his strengths and weaknesses. 

The Common Plebe Year 

During his first year at the Naval Academy the midshipman is placed in a 

program of study suited to his abilities and academic background. These 

courses are broad enough in scope to provide a sound basis for the selection 

of a major during the latter part of the year. At the same time they contain 

an element of commonality which enables the midshipman to progress into 

any of the 27 majors offered. They include the naval science courses which 

start his professional development. The normal academic load for a plebe 

consists of six courses each semester as follows:

.... 16 hours of classroom recitations per week; 4 hours' laboratory work per week; 18

Fundamentals of Naval Science (first semester) and Introduction lo Naval Engineering and Weapons Systems (second semester). These courses provide 

the midshipman with knowledge and skills for practical shipboard use during 

his youngster cruise, the most important event of third-class summer. They 

also serve as preparation for the professional courses and training which come 

during the next three years. 

History. The year's study of the history of sea power is designed to give 

a sense of naval professionalism and an understanding of the role of sea 

power in world affairs. 

Mathematics. A year of calculus provides the requisite mathematical foundation for further study in the various maiors. Midshipmen are placed in a 

sequence appropriate to their backgrounds and ability. 

Composition and Litera ture. This is a general requirement designed to develop the skills in thinking, reading, and writing which are primary tools for 

further education and for professional development. Six different courses are 

offered to ensure that each midshipman gets training in communication skills 

at the level best suited to his needs and stage of development. 

75 
Chemistry. A year of study is required in this basic discipline. Midshipmen 

are placed in course sequences of varying difficulty depending upon their 

ability and background. 

Computer Science. Each midshipman is introduced to the use of the computer during plebe year. Computers are becoming increasingly important in 

virtually every aspect of the modern Navy, and midshipmen will be expected 

to use them as tools in a number of their Naval Academy courses. 

Advanced Placement 

Prior to entering the Naval Academy, many midshipmen take courses equivalent to those offered or required here. Credit may be granted for this work 

through validation, a procedure based on examinations given by the appropriate academic departments, consideration of transcripts; and results of 

College Entrance Examination Board Achievement Tests and Advanced Placement Tests, if available. \ alidators of any of the plebe courses may be enrolled in more advanced courses during plebe year, if they desire, or they may 

elect to carry a lighter academic load. More than one-half of the members of 

a plebe class validate at least one course. 

Counseling and Guidance 

Each midshipman is responsible not only for deciding upon his major, but 

also for selecting his specific courses and planning his semester schedules. He 

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

capabilities. If he is an average student, for example, he will likely take 

sequential courses as they are laid out for normal progress in a given major 

program. If he is ready for advanced placement in some subjects, or is able 

to handle more than the standard number of courses, he may complete his 

requirements more rapidly and gain time for more elective courses. Some midshipmen may even complete second majors. 

Although decisions regarding his academic program must be his own, the 

midshipman has ample opportunities for consultation with faculty members. 

During his first few weeks at the Naval Academy, he receives about 20 hours 

of group and individual counseling on all aspects of the curriculum. He takes 

a number of achievement tests to help determine the levels at which he should 

begin his studies. 

Because of the commonality of plebe year, individual academic advisers are 

not assigned to the midshipmen until a major is chosen, normally in the 

spring of plebe year. The midshipman's adviser, a faculty member from the 

76 
department 111 which he has expressed a particular 111terest, will help him 

define his study ob1ectives and will offer guidance towards a logical selection 

of courses. In addition to offering guidance in the selection of courses and 

in scheduling, the faculty adviser concerns himself with the midshipman's 

O\·er-all academic progress and any academic problems he may have from 

plebe year through graduation 

uclear Power Program 

Midshipmen have the opportunity to apply in the fall of their senior year for 

tra111111g 111 nuclear propulsion upon graduation. Candidates selected undertake 

six months study 111 Nuclear Power School, Bainbridge, Md., or Vallejo, Cal., 

followed by six months train111g at one of three nuclear reactor prototype sites 

in Idaho, New York or Connecticut. Completion of the year's training leads 

to assignment in a nuclear powered surface ship or submarine, the choice being the individual's. Midshipmen who aspire to dutv in one of these excit111g 

ships can acquire a strong foundation by majoring 111 engineering, science, or 

mathematics Judicious choice of elective courses in the scientific technical 

area and energetic application to the entire academic program improve the 

humanities or management ma1or's ch,rnces for selection into the program. 

Each midshipman selected for nuclear propulsion tra111ing by the Director, 

Division of Naval Reactors, AEC, regardless of his major, takes one of several 

mathematics, science, or engineering courses the second semester of his senior 

vear to enhance his preparation for Nuclear Power School (shown as NPP in 

the professional requirements listed with each ma1or in the following chapter) 

Professional Course Requirements 

A series of professional courses 1s required for the Bachelor of Science degree. In addition to providing the professional background required of an 

officer during his first few ye,,rs in the Fleet or the Marine Corps, these 

courses contribute to more effective summer training with the Fleet. Because 

the professional courses required subsequent to plebe year vary slightly, depending on the majors program being followed, those requirements are 

specified with descriptions of the various majors beginning on page 85 

Distribution Requirements 

To assure a broad general education and to provide a sound background for 

further study in selected ma1ors, midshipmen must satisfy certain distribution 

rnquirements 111 the humanities, social sciences, mathematics, science, and 

77 

a modern language. These requirements are specified with descriptions of the 

various majors. 

Academic Organization 

The major areas under the direction of the Academic Dean are organized into 

five divisions-the Divisions of Engineering and Weapons, Mathematics and 

Science, Naval Command and Management, U. 5. and International Studies, 

and English and History-each headed by a Navy captain. The divisions are 

further subdivided into departments, 19 in all, which serve as focal points 

for the administration of the majors program and the continuing review and 

development of the curriculum. The departments are chaired by civilian or 

military members of the faculty. 

The Nimitz Library 

The Nimitz Library, completed in late 1972, provides midshipmen and faculty 

members comprehensive library service in support of the curriculum, research, 

and recreational reading programs. A representative book collection is maintained in all fields of knowledge, and the library is especially strong in naval 

science and history. In addition, the excellent resources of the libraries in the 

Washington and Baltimore are;i.s are available to midshipmen and faculty 

members. Anticipated developments in the library include the use of data 

processing and closed circuit television techniques which will be applied to 

library routines in order to provide more modern and efficient service. 

The library has a capacity of approximately 600,000 volumes and accommodates between 1,400 and 1,500 readers, utilizing a seating combination of 

study tables, study carrels, and lounge furniture. Also included in the building 

are seminar, faculty and group study rooms, typing and calculating rooms, 

audio and video carrels, and a computer terminal room. The Naval Academy 

Archives, the Division of U. 5. and International Studies, the Educational Resources Center, and the Naval Academy Photographic Laboratory are also 

housed in the Nimitz Library building. 

Special Programs 

Trident Scholars. Under the Trident Scholar Program, initiated in 1963, a 

limited number of exceptionally capable midshipmen carry out independent 

research and study during their senior year. Each scholar has a reduced formal course load, since his research and thesis constitute the main part of his 

79 
academic program for the year. He is assisted in his project by one or more 

faculty advisers who are well acquainted with his field of study. 

Immedia te Graduate Education Program. Under this program, a limited 

number of outstanding midshipmen may be selected to continue their studies 

without interruption to the master's degree level. They attain their degree~ 

within nine to twelve months in accelerated programs arranged at certain 

civilian universities, or at the Naval Postgraduate School at Monterey, California Other immediate graduate study opportunities for Naval Academy 

graduates include Guggenheim, National Science Foundation, and Rhodes 

Scholarships. 

Grading 

The Naval Academy employs the letter grade system, A, B, C, D, and F (A 

denoting excellence; F, failing), which are in turn assigned a numerical Qualitv Point Equivalent (QPE) of 4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0 and 0.0 respectively. 

Grades are averaged, using a weighted semester-hour system called a Quality Point Rating (QPR) The QPR is computed by multiplying the QPE corresponding to the letter grade received in each course by the semester hours 

of credit for the course, then dividing the sum of these products by the total 

number of semester hours represented by all the courses taken. A semester 

QPR (SQPR) 1s computed only for courses taken during a given semester; 

a Cumulative QPR (CQPR) is maintained for each midshipman, and includes 

all academic marks assigned to date. 

An academic probation system provides warning for midshipmen who are 

not making satisfactory progress toward graduation. If a midshipman's 

cumulative QPR is below 2.0 at the completion of a semester, he is placed 

on academic probation for the following semester A midshipman is also 

placed on probation for the semester following any two consecutive semesters 

in which his semester QPR is below 2.0, even though his cumulative QPR 

remains above 2.0. In addition, a special letter of warning serves to alert 

midshipmen whose mid-semester academic records are unsatisfactory. 

It should be noted that grades received in aptitude, conduct, and physical 

education, and for certain professional training conducted during the summer, are not included in the computation of QPR. Satisfactory performance 

1s required, however, and these grades are assigned \'en significant weight 

in determining class standing 

A midshipman mav be recommended for discharge by the Academic Board 

for failure or two courses in any one semester falling behind two courses in a 

80 

given maJOr, failure to achie\'e a semester QPR of at least 1 5 for any given 

semester, and failure to fulfill probationary conditions prescribed by the 

Academic Board 

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

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

minimum of 75 percent of the maximum multiple for the semester (including 

QPR and grades for aptitude, conduct and physical education) No grade

Schedule of Instruction 

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

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

instruction and one week of examinations. The normal academic routine provides for five-and-one-half days of classroom, laboratory, and study periods 

per week. Small classes, averaging 20 midshipmen, provide ample opportunity 

for active classroom participation by each midshipman and individual attention to students on the part of the instructor.

Naval Architecture Major 

The ECPD accredited major in Naval Ar,hitecturc encompasses the comprehensive analysis 

and design ot vehicles and structure$ that operate under, on~ or just above the surface of 

the sea. A wide range of scientific, engmeering, and technological skills is required by the 

naval architect. The curriculum in naval architecture covers the static and dynamic analyses of ships, both theorelacc1lly and experimentally, as well as basic design techniques. 

Four reqmred courses m naval architectural analysis and two elective courses culminate in 

a final design course ·which employs this background in the creation of a new marine 

vehicle or system. Creativity and individuality are encouraged through the use of modern, 

well equipped laboratoriec; featuring state-of-the-art data acquisition systems. The use of 

the computer, both for numerical analysis and for interactive design applications, is encouraged. A Bachelor of Science in Naval Arch1teclure is awarded.

Chemistry Major 

Chemistry, an experimental science, is the most laboratory-oriented program offered a t the 

Naval Academy. The undergraduate laboratory facilities of Michelson Hall are unexcelled. 

The serious student of chemistry has ample opportunity to experiment and observe as he 

pursues the scientific method. Laboratory equipment includes single-pan balances, gas 

chromatographs, mass spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, and nuclear magnetic resonance 

spectrometers. 

Any naval officer will profit from a good knowledge of chemistry. A background in the 

fundamental principles of chemistry and modern experimental techniques is h ighly 

valuable for naval officers working in many technical subspecialties, such as oceanspace 

research, life sciences and support systems, propellants, and many o thers. 

The chemistry major is approved by the American Chemical Society.

The major program in Physics (1) presents fundamental physical concepts and principles 

in such a WO)' as to emphasize their general usefulness and (2) lays a strong foundation 

for further work in a broad range of technical fields. Some of the topics treated in the 

sequence of courses are the origin, propagation, and reception of waves of all kinds; field 

concepts, theory of relativity, basic theory of quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics. All are studied with the object of providing an open-minded and creative approach 

to the plwsical world an approach increasingly important to those who will be leaders in 

our modern Navy A solid background in phvsics achieved at the Academy will facilitate 

subsequent specialization in any technical area

The major in History concentrates upon the development of the important civilizations, 

societies, and states of the world. The knowledge of historical evolution that is acquired 

will contribute significant perspective and maturity to the understanding of the great 

crises and confrontations of today's world and to a more acute awareness of the institutions and values at issue. The program provides a basic historical background as well as 

the opportunity for specialized study in the fields of American, European, non-Western, 

n,,val, and mihtary history.

III: Professional Training Courses 

The Commandant of Midshipmen directs the Academy's professional training 

program, which is a vital part of each midshipman's development during his 

four years at the Academy. It includes instruction, drills, and practical training conducted during the academic year, as well as summer training conducted 

away from the Academy with Fleet operational and training units. 

Midshipmen are graded on their interest and performance in the professional program just as they are on their performance in the academic program. A midshipman's over-all standing within his class at graduation 

depends very significantly on his grades in professional training. 

An outline of the professional training program follows.

IX: Varsity and Intramural Athletics 

Just as the Naval Academy has a responsibility for the professional and 

intellectual development of midshipmen, so, also, must it fulfill its responsibility for their physical development. The late John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a 

World War II naval officer who rose to the highest office in the land, underscored the importance of athletics generally in his thoughts about football: 

"I sometimes wonder whether those of us who love football fully appreciate 

its great lesson: that dedication, discipline, and teamwork are necessary. We 

take it for granted that the players will spare no sacrifice to become alert, 

strong, and skilled, that they 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." 

In the competitive arena that is intercollegiate athletics, the exploits of 

Navy athletes are well-chronicled. Midshipmen have carved an outstanding 

reputation in 21 sports from football to fencing, sailing to squash, and golf 

to gymnastics. 

Two Navy football players- halfback Joe Bellino and quarterback Roger 

Staubach- won the Heisman Trophy, the college gridiron's most coveted 

individual prize, within a period of four years. 

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

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

From 1960-67, the Navy lacrosse team reeled off eight consecutive national 

championships, a feat unparalleled in the history of that sport. They were 

again champions in 1970. 

Over a recent six-year, 48-game span, the Navy soccer team did not drop 

a regular season contest. 

And, a former Navy oarsman- Alan B. Shepard-was America's first man 

in space. 

Through the intercollegiate program, one of the largest in the nation, and 

an intramural schedule that is equally ambitious, the Naval Academy fulfills

its responsibility for the physical development of midshipmen. Academy 

athletics are big, nationally known and respected, and put a high premium 

on excellence. 

Football at the Naval Academy dates from 1879, just 10 years after Rutgers 

and Princeton introduced the sport al New Brunswick. The midshipmen have 

been to four Bowl games, and 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. 

There is enough of a variety in Navy's intercollegiate lineup to satisfy 

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

soccer, ISO-pound football, and sailing. Winter is the most active time of year 

with nine different sports in season-basketball, fencing, gymnastics, pistol, 

rifle, squash, swimming, track, and wrestling. The spring schedule includes 

baseball, heavyweight crew, lightweight crew, golf, lacrosse, sailing, tennis, 

and track. 

Army traditionally is Navy's top opponent and the service rivals clash in a 

total of 18 engagements dming the athletic year. Annapolis teams also face 

the perennial collegiate strongboys in every sport-Notre Dame in football, 

Columbia and New York University in fencing, Penn State in gymnastics, 

Harvard and Pennsylvania in crew, and Yale in swimming. 

But perhaps even more a part of Annapolis life 1s the competition within 

the Brigade represented bv the intramural sports program Every midshipman, with the exception of varsity athletes, must take part. Here all can 

participate, each at a level equal to his athletic ability. Intramural sports 

include: 

Basketball Handball Touch Football 

Boxing Lacrosse Track 

Crew Rugby Volleyball 

Cross Country Soccer Water Polo 

Fencing Softball Weightlifting 

Field Ball Squash Wrestling 

Football Swimming 

Gymnastics Tennis 

Excellent physical facilities support the program. Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, which seats :?.8,000 fans between the goal lines was dedi146 
cated in 1959 Halsey Field House is surfaced throughout with Tartan and 

includes a 220-yard indoor track. There are more than 100 acres of lighted 

playing fields, a superb indoor swimming pool, a 5,000-seat baseball park, a 

challenging 6,217-yard championship golf course, and an impressive sprawl 

of tennis, squash, handball, and badminton courts. A new, Astro-turf field 

provides an all-weather practice area for football, lacrosse, and soccer 

The athletic program is administered by the Naval Academy AthlPtic 

Association, a non-profit organization headquartered in Annapolis. The Association arranges the varsity schedules and provides coaching staffs and 

equipment. 

X: Extracurricular Activities 

Life at the Academy offers midshipmen a wide-ranging choice of over 65 

different extracurricular activities which they organize and maintain themselves-everything from a Big Brother program to social clubs to music 

groups to professionally oriented programs. 

Like music? There is a Glee Club, the Antiphonal Choir, the Protestant 

and Catholic Chapel Choirs; the Drum and Bugle Corps, Concert Band, five 

separate combos which provide a lively variety of music for informal dances 

and other events, and the NA-10-the ever-popular dance band of the 

Brigade of Midshipmen. 

Interested in writing? Members of the Brigade publish the L11cky Bng, the 

yearbook for each class; the Trident magazine, a literary and professional 

publication; the Log, a less serious and more typical campus humor magazine; the Trident Calendar booklet, embellished by photographs and cartoons; and Reef Points, a pocket size guide to Academy and Navy organization, lore, and customs for the plebes. 

The theater? Dramatic activities include the Masqueraders and the Musical 

Club and their supporting groups-the Stage, Property and Juice (electrical) 

Gangs. Others may find interest in such organizations as the Photographic 

Club, Amateur Radio Club, Scuba Club, Art and Printing Club, Brigade Activities Committee, Public Relatfons Committee, or Radio Station WRNV, 

the "Vmce of the Brigade." 

A wide variety of academically and professionally oriented activities is 

offered for midshipmen whose interests lie in this direction-the local chapter 

of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics for the future 

aviator, astronaut, or paper airplane designer, Sigma Pi Sigma, the Physics 

Honor Society; and the USNA branch of the Marine Technology Society, or 

more simply put, the Oceanography Club. 

Sailing at the Academy has a serious professional purpose. The program 

,s extensive and varied There is sailing for every taste-from basic instruction 

to ocean racing, and from leisurely afternoon cruising to the keen competition 

of high-performance racing dinghies.

Skills and knowledge of seamanship and the sea gained under sail are the 

same basic skills and knowledge which have been used by seamen for centuries. They are as relevant in bringing a ship safely home to port today as they 

ever were. Thus, by developing better seamen, the Academy's sailing program 

contributes to the development of better naval officers. 

Sailing is easily the most popular extracurricular activity at the Academy, 

with almost 1,000 midshipmen engaging in competitive or recreational sailing. 

And, Judging by the activity along the seawall on weekends, sailing is equally 

popular with drags (dates). 

The Academy has one of the finest sailing fleets in the world, including 

boats ranging from the 73-foot ocean racing ketch 711/,i/ee Ill to the 12-foot 

lnterclub dinghies. The glamor girls of the fleet are the Class A lubilee fl/, 

the 60-foot yawl Mnreden, and the 54-foot sloop Rnge, all of which compete 

actively in fall and spring Chesapeake Bay events and in ocean races during 

the summer. 

Basic sail training ror all midshipmen is carried out in a fleet of twelve 

44-foot Luders-designed fiberglass yawls and thirty 24-foot converted Rainbow-class knockabouts. After plebe summer, all sailing becomes voluntary 

and is carried on as a recreational activity as well as a varsity sport. 

The midshipmen compete in intercollegiate events across the nation during 

the fall and spring. In support of the teams, the Academy maintains thirty 

420-class racing dinghies and five 30-foot Shields-class sloops. 

The Academy sponsors numerous intercollegiate and Chesapeake Bay regattas. Both the McMillan Cup and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Regattas 

are hosted by the Academy in the yawls. During the summer, the larger 

yachts are sailed in the open sea in such races as the Transatlantic, the Bermuda, and the Annapolis-Newport races. Other races include the Gibson 

Island Yacht Squadron Race to Cape May, the Chesapeake Lightship Race, 

the Cape May to Newport Race, the Marblehead-Halifax Race, and the 

Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro Race. Midshipmen skipper the yachts in Bav 

races and serve as crew members in ocean races. 

Intercollegiate sailing is conducted by the Naval Academy Athletic Association. Other sailing is administered by the Naval Academy Sailing Squadron, an organization of officers, civilian faculty members, and other devotees 

of sailing. Besides being highly popular, Squadron-arranged weekend sailing 

trips give midshipmen a welcome chance to carry the spirit of the Navy to 

nearby ports on the Chesapeake Bay. 

154 
The Naval Academy YP Squadron is organized for midshipmen who desire 

more extensive training afloat. This voluntary training supplements the curriculum at the Academy and summer training with the Fleet. The Squadron 

consists of six Yard Patrol craft, one being assigned to each battalion. 

The organization and practices of the YP Squadron are very similar to 

those of Fleet destroyer squadrons on duty around the world. The midshipmen officers are selected for their ability to fulfill command positions. The 

midshipman selected as Squadron Commodore is responsible for the over-all 

performance and excellence of the Squadron, including the co-ordination of 

training, proficiency competition, inspections, and cruises. Midshipmen assisting him include a Chief Staff Officer, two Division Commanders, and an Administration Officer. Completing the staff is an Engineering Officer who 

supervises training in engineering and who ensures that engineering equipment is operated and maintained properly. Each Yard Patrol craft is commanded by a first or second classman who is assisted by a 20-man crew 

composed of midshipmen from all classes. 

Training is serious business during the week. Crews get underway on 

Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons. In addition to weekday training 

sessions, weekend cruises are conducted to Washington, Norfolk, Philadelphia, and various Chesapeake Bay ports. 

Competition between YPs for the Battle Efficiency Pennant is keen. The 

crew adjudged most proficient overall in tactics, deck seamanship, piloting, 

communications, and engineering is declared the winner. 

For those with a particular interest in the humanities, there are the Language Clubs and the Forensic Society. An annual spring highlight is the Naval 

Academy Foreign Affairs Conference, which draws together college students 

from across the country to dicuss problems of a specific geographic area of 

the world. 

These activities offer a midshipman a wide choice for professional enrichment, leisure-time enjoyment, and just plain fun.

1XI: Administration, Staff, and Faculty 

The administration of the Naval Academy is in many respects analogous to 

that of any college. A Board of Visitors performs the broad supervisory functions of a board of trustees. The Superintendent, a flag officer of the Navy, 

is the equivalent of a college president, and acts as the executive head of the 

Academy. He is assisted by the Commandant of Midshipmen, whose function 

is somewhat like that of a dean of students; the Academic Dean; and an 

administrative staff. The Superintendent, the Commandant, the Academic 

Dean, and other senior members of the faculty comprise the Academic Board, 

which makes ma1or academic decisions and sets the academic standards for 

the Academy. Military, professional, and physical training come under the 

Commandant. The Academic Dean heads the academic program. Today's 

600-man 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 

A Board of Visitors to the Academy, appointed annually, 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 Vice President 

of the United States or the President pro tempore of the Senate, two of whom 

are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate; the Chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U. 5. House of Representatives, or his designee; four other members of the House of Representatives, 

two of whom are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the House 

of Representatives; and six persons designated by the President of the United 

States. 

157 
,\fr Pt'rot 

The Board meets at least once, but usually twice, each year at the Naval 

Academy to inquire into the state of morale and discipline, the curriculum, 

instruction, physical equjpment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and related 

matters, and submits a written report of its action and its views and recommendations to the President of the United States.

XII: Prizes and Awards, 

Museum, Alumni Association, 

and the Naval Institute 

Prizes and Awards 

Each June Week more than 80 prizes and awards, provided by individuals 

and a wide variety of organizations, are presented to deserving midshipmen 

in recognition of their noteworthy accomplishments in such areas as academics, leadership, professional studies, debate, public speaking, sailing, 

marksmanship, and athletics. 

The Museum 

The Naval Academy Museum serves as an inspiration to the men of the 

Brigade by providing tangible evidence of some of the most famous and 

exciting episodes in our nation's history. Its collection of more than 50,000 

individual items also provides an important reference source for the teaching 

of naval history. 

While most of the museum's valuable collections are located within the 

museum, other items of exceptional interest and value are located in the 

chapel, Bancroft Hall, the library, and in other buildings throughout the 

Academy. The museum contains some of the finest ship models in the world, 

including many from the famous Rogers Collection; a superb collection of 

13 maritime paintings by Edward Moran; perhaps the largest collection in 

the world of items relating to the life and work of John Paul Jones; the 

table from the mess deck of the battleship fvlisso1m on which was signed the 

instrument of surrender ending World War If; and thousands of other sig187 
nificant items relating to the history of the Navy, the Marine Corps, and the 

Naval Academy. In addition, the museum has valuable collections of manuscripts and extensive photographic files. 

Museum items in Bancroft Hall include the Aag hoisted by Commodore 

Oliver Hazard Perry at the Battle of Lake Erie on which were emblazoned the 

immortal words of the dying James Lawrence, 'Don t Give Up The Sh1p 1"; 

an original marble bust of John Paul Jones by Jean Antoine Houdon; and 

fine portraits of other distinguished naval officers In the chapel crypt is found 

John Paul Jones's commission as a captain, signed by John Hancock, his 

membership certificate in the Society of The Cincinnati, signed bv George 

Washington, and the dress sword presented to him by King Louis X\'I of 

France. The library contains a number of ship models from the Rogers Collection and numerous historic Rags, including the only known captured British 

Royal Standard

'lotificataon will be given to the governments concerned that students found by 

proper authority to be unsatisfactory in conduct, studies, or he,,lth will be accorded 

the same consideration given to other midshipmen regarding withdrawal from the 

Academy or repetition of a year's work. 

Oath of Office and Entrance Day Procedures 

Candidates for whom there are vacancies, who have subscribed to the £ngageme111 

to Sen,e, and who have met the scholastic, moral, and physical requirements, will 

receive appointments as midshipmen and be admitted to the Naval Academy 

197 
Each candidate for midshipman will be required to take the following oath of 

office upon entrance: 

"l, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ......... , hav111g been appointed a midsl11pmm1 

in tire United States Navy, do solem11ly swear (or affirm) that I will s11pporl and 

defe11d the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear /n,e faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental resen>ation or p11rpose of evasion; and that I will 

well and failhf11lly discharge the dr<ties of tire office on wl,ich I am abo11t to enter, 

So Help Me God." 

He will also be required to subscribe to the following agreement under oath: 

"For and in consideration of the privileges, opporllmitres, and benefits afforded me 

during tire continuance of my service as a midslripma11, 1 agree to and with tire 

Superi11te11de11/ of tire United States Naval Academy, as follows: 

"First To enter tl,e service of the Navy of the U111ted Slates and, to the 11tmost of 

my power rmd ability, to be in everything conformable and obedient to the several 

req11irements and lawful commands of the officers who may be placed over me. 

"Second: 1 oblige myself, d11ring s11ch seruice. to comply with and be s11bject to the 

Uniform Code of Military ]11stice and s11ch other laws and regulations as are or 

shall be established by the Congress of tire United Slates or other competent 1111-

thority. 

"Tliird· To submit to treatment for the prevention of smallpox, typhoid (typhoid 

prophylaxis), and lo sr<ch other preventive measures as may be considered necessary by nnt•al authorities." 

Candidates are usually sworn in as midshipmen on the day they are accepted for 

admission, 1.e., the date of reportin3 to the Naval Academy as designated in the 

Permit lo Report issued by the Superintendent, U. 5 Naval Academy. Living 

accommodations in the city of Annapolis are limited, and candidates are therefore 

urged to time their arrivals in Annapolis to coincide as closely as possible with the 

reporting time and date, keeping in mind, however, that transportation facilities between Wasrungton and Annapolis and between Baltimore and Annapolis are not 

unlimited. Those arriving in Annapolis a day or two prior to their reporting date 

may take advantage of berthing facilities made available at the Naval Academy at a 

cost of $2. per night. Additionally, candidates may take their meals in the Midshipmen's Wardroom at the cost of a midshipman's daily ration allowance, whrch is 

quite nominal. 

Midshipmen who are involuntarily separated from the Naval Academy prior to 

repayment of the entrance credit, are requued to turn in all articles of uniform and 

198 
equipment deemed suitable for reissue, to an amount sufficient to liquidate their indebtedness. If reclaimed articles are insufficient to cover the indebtedness, parents will 

be given an opportunity to pay the remaining debt; failing this, the remainder of the 

debt is cancelled. M1dsh1pmen applying for voluntary separation for their own convenience are required to repay in full the amount of indebtedness prior to separation. 

Every candidate must present his Social Security card upon reporting for appointment. If an individual has not obtained a Social Security number as a result of 

work experience prior to entering, he should obtain one based on the length of 

expected employment as a midshipman. 

Shortly after entrance, each midshipman (except Foreign Nationals) will be required to complete a Statement of Personal History. Candidates should be prepared 

to furnish such information as: 

Names a11d locations of all schools attended. 

Family names, dates and places of birth of pnl'e11ts, service data if pa,-en/s are or 

were 111 armed forces; 11nt11ralizatio11 1111mbe,-s of parents if applicable. 

Relatives i11 fo,-eign co11nt,-ies-relnt1011ship and locntion 

Names and addresses of former employers. 

Names and addresses of three credit n11d five personal references (credit references 

may inc/11de those of pare11ts). 

Residences d11ri11g past 15 years. (Dutes, street addresses, t111d cities m·e required.) 

Candidates admitted as midshipmen will be required to submit documentary 

evidence of birth to the Superintendent, U. 5. Naval Academy. A certified copy of 

the public record of birth is the best evidence. Supporting evidence will be required 

if the name on the evidence of birth is not identical with the name of the candidate. 

Except for candidates entering the Academy as citizens of certain foreign countries, 

as provided by law, all candidates born outside the United States must show proof 

of U. 5 citizenship. 

Upon entrance, midshipmen will be required to obtain a regulation entrance outfit from the midshipmen's storekeeper Slide rules and drawing sets are included in 

the outfit. Candidates are advised, therefore, not to purchase these items prior to 

entering the Academy 

After being admitted to the Naval Academy, midshipmen receive travel and 

transportation allowances as prescribed in Joint Travel Regulations (ordinarily, 

mileage allowance of 6 cents per mile for authorized travel). Midshipmen will be 

reimbursed for the actual cost of their fares in commercial ships provided no government transportation was available In those cases in which travel originates out199

Naval and Marine Corps Officers' Graduate Education Programs 

Annapolis graduates are offered a broad choice of advanced educational programs. 

Some begin their studies almost immediately after graduation, others after an initial 

tour of sea duty. Still others may be selected to begin their studies somewhat later 

in their careers. Most attain a master's degree; for a few, studies continue to the 

Ph.D. level. 

IMMEDIATE GRADUATE EDUCATION PROGRAM (IGEP) 

This program usually is limited to studies at the Naval Postgraduate School in Mon• 

terey, California. Selection of students is made prior to graduation from the Academy. Studies begin later in the summer
