The United States Naval Academy Catalog 1975-76 

Annapolis, Maryland 
Mission 

To prepare young men 

morally, mentally, and physically 

to be professional officers 

in the naval service. 


lt'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 26 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 lo 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. 

It is your decision

I. Why the Naval Academy? 

If 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 Aeeting 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. !n any case, it 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 shorl, why 

should [ 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 vou 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 1s no exception. The Naval Academy, since its 

founding in 1845, 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 
10 

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 subjects required of each graduate. Beyond these, however, each midshipman may now choose to study any one of 26 majors, ranging from 

engineering through oceanography and mathematics on to history, economics, 

and international affairs. The needs of the Navy require that at least 80 

percent of the midshipmen in each class be enrolled in engineering, scientific, 

or mathematics majors. Other midshipmen major in the humanities or social 

sciences. Whatever your major, you will find yourself well prepared at graduation 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 responsibilities 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 fouryear course through all the months of the year. 

The plebe year at Annapolis is not easy. 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, you 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 increased responsibiltty. The first class, and particularly the midshipmen officers chosen from the first class, are charged with much of the 

responsibility for running the Brigade. 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 easy ones. No achievement so 

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

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

f-r°he 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 usualJy see part of the Academy's Aeet 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 all 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 sea. 

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 a number of Mediterranean and Northern European countries, while the 

Pacific groups have visited Hawaii, 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. And, once again, you will visit ports in Europe or the 

Far East. 

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 at the heart of it is the 

desire for service to countrv with which this chapter started. The midshipmen 

themsclv()s have a good phrase they use when asked if a particular person 

should come to the Academv They say, "You have to want it." That really 

says ti all. 

It's up to you 11 

IL The Years 1845- 1975 

Through the years 1845 to 1975, 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 sail to steam, and into the nuclear age, 

the Naval Academy has responded to every challenge, improving its facilities 

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 1845 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, 

the Board of Visitors first met at the 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, 

the forerunner of 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 

5erving as an instructor m the Department of Physics and Chemistry at the 13 
Nav al Acadrmy, 1869. 

14 

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 

the considerable debt that his theory of relativity owed to Michelson's earlier 

work. It is not surprising that the science wing of the Academy's recently 

completed science and mathematics complex is named Michelson Hall. 

Other distinguished graduates include Alfred Thayer Mahan, whose profound writings on seapower and its influence on hjstory 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, Burke, and Zumwalt have earned their place in history. So, also, 

have astronauts Shepard, Schirra, Lovell, Stafford, and Anders. Their successors, preparing to meet a new generation of challenges, are midshipmen 

today. 

Following accreditation of the Naval Academy in 1°30 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, 
Naual Aci:dt>my cirrn World War J 

beginning with the Class of 1931. In 1939, Congress authorized the awarding of the B 5. degree to all living graduates. The Middle States Association 

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

And, in l 958, tests of the College Entrance Examination Board replaced 

Academy-prepared entrance examinations. Since 1970, candidates have had 

the option of taking the CEEB tests or the American College Testing Program test for entry. 

An Academic Advisory Board of distinguished Americans, formed by the 

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

matters, first met at the Academy in 1966. 

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 15 




~ .. --•· ~ 

20 

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, D.C., 

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 329 

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

the Severn River. A 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 assembly hall; the 

construction of an athletic field house large enough to accommodate the entire 

4,300-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 honoring the Navy's 

finest traditions. 

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

plan is nearing completion. 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 650,000-volume capacity Nimitz Library, 

overlooking the Severn, was completed in 1973. An adjacent engineering 

building and laboratory complex is scheduled for completion in 1975. A full 

range of facilities and services for student and faculty research, computeraided education, and educational television is being provided throughout the 

academic complex All academic areas will be air-conditioned. 

Recently, privately donated funds from friends and alumni have made it 

possible to build the Robert Crown Center, home of the Intercollegiate Sailing Hall of Fame and new waterfront headquarters for our sailing program, 

and an activity center (student union) which includes an indoor ice skating 

rink, a cafeteria, lounges, and game rooms. 

The center for daily living is Bancroft Hall, one of the largest dormitory 
/1 

complexes in the world. Stretching over many acres, it houses the entire 

Brigade. All of the necessary basic facilities, 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. There is a Steerage, 

or soda fountain. The midshipmen's store is the place to buy daily necessities 

and an occasional gift. And there are small Protestant and Catholic chapels, 

with chaplains' offices adjoining. 

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

\Vardroom. Here, midshipmen demonstrate their enthusiasm for the appetizing, freshly prepared meals by taking a 4,500-calorie daily diet in stride. 

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

post office, 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, Smoke Hall, and 

the nearby activity center in Dahlgren Hall provide attractive settings for 

dances and other recreational activities. 21 

I I I. Life at Annapolis 

·ssion 

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

n fulfillment of this responsibility, the staff and faculty must enstue not only 

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

re prepared morally and physically for the rigors of commissioned service. 

his is a threefold mission that requires careful organization and a clear set 

f priori ties. 

During the academic year, first priority is given to studies and each midhipman has ample time for out-of-classroom study and research. On weekays, following the last class of the day, midshipmen participate in intramural 

or varsity sports and other extracurricular activities. 

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

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

'ndoctrination visits and t-raining at selected naval shore activities. Upperclassmen also enjoy an extended leave period during the summer. 

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 ts responsible for instilling high ideals of duty, honor, and 

loyalty for providing military indoctrination and physical development; and 23 
24 

for inculcating midshipmen with the desire to achieve the high standards o~ 

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

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

subordinate departments or groups of officers. The departments reporting to 

the Commandant include 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 composed of Navy lieutenants and lieutenant commanders and Marine 

Corps captains and majors. 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, each 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 4,300-man Brigade 

of Midshipmen is divided 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 competitive activities during the year. 

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 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.

Plebe Year. The new midshipman undergoes a comprehensive program of 

military training and indoctrination from his first day in early July until the 

end of his plebe year the following June. Demands upon him and upon 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 1s fou.nd 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 educa tion, the system directly 

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

a basic understanding of military relationships and the military environment. 

Its aim is to teach 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 1s 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 uniforms, taught the 

basics of marching, and served their first meal in the vast Midshipmen's 

V\lardroom. Their militarv indoctrination gets off to a fast start, but they are 

too busy to have time to worry about it. Civilian ways a.nd days soon seem 

far behind 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic 

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

calibre pistol, sailing Navy yawls, and participating in a rigorous physical 

conditioning program make each midshipman a proudly versatile young ma.n. 

Team spirit and the desire to win .ue developed through competition in a 
I I ~ 
30 

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

talent shows. 

Plebe summer terminates in late August with Parents' Weekend, when 

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

and enjoy the weekend with their sons. A dress parade, exhibitions in sports 

dining and sailing with their sons, and the opportunity to meet the facult 

and company officers help to assure parents that their sons are taking thei 

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 indoctrination 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 other fall sports. 

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

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

travels to Philadelphia for the annual donnybrook with the Black Knights of 

the Hudson, the cadets of West Point. 

Christmas brings 15-20 days of leave, which provides plebes with the first 

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

July, and gives all midshipmen a welcome break in the academic routine. 1 
:

~
32 

Classes resume in early January, followed by examinations near the end of 

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 six to eight weeks of 

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

At-sea training is followed by 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 

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

Second Class Year. During a fast-moving summer, second dassmen undertake 

professional studies at the Naval Academy and receive familiarization training 

in the four warfare specialties which comprise the naval service. In New 

London, Conn., each receives an introduction to the submarine service through 

lectures ashore and through visits and short cruises on board nuclear submarines of the U. S. Atlantic Fleet. Traveling to Newport, Rhode Island, the 

new second classman attends a familiarization course at the U. S. Naval 

Destroyer School and visits modern destroyers. 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. lntroduction 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. 

34 

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 1s 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, first classmen go to sea for training 

with the Fleet for their second and last time as midshipmen. Here, they have 

the opportunity to assume the responsibilities and perform the duties of junior 

officers. A number of carefully chosen members of the first class will also take 

part in the training and indoctrination of the new plebe class at Annapolis 

during the summer. 

On board the cruise ships, functioning as a junior officer, the first classman 

1s 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 visit a number of foreign lands and ports during 

their training cruises with the Fleet. Visits are made to such places as Hawaii, 

Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand in the Pacific; Gibraltar, 

Spain, France, Italy, and Greece in the Mediterranean; and Holland, Germany, 

Denmark, and Norway in Northern Europe. 

The important responsibility assigned the first class in directing the Brigade of Midshipmen has been previously 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 stripe rs 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-
nee, graduation finds him well prepared to assume his leadership responsi1ilities m the Navy or the Marine Corps as a newly commissioned officer. 

rhe Professional Training Program 

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

rogram encompasses a wide range of training and drills, and is designed 

provide graduates with a sound foundation in the fundamental specialized 

ub1ects and skills required of professional officers in the Navy or Marine 

-o,ps. 

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

raduation depends significantly on his professional training performance. 

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

nd a variety oF evolutions and drills in which the midshipmen learn by 

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

omplements both the military life within the Brigade and the professionally-

>riented academic courses. A description of the courses, drills, and training 

naking up the professional training program begins on page 133 .

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 or military performance or for 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 Washington 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. 
The pace continues during the first academic year Instruction is given in 

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

-acquets, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. In addition, midshipmen develop their 

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

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

·un and on the obstacle course. 

The final three years provide increasingly advanced instruction and de1-nanding tests. For additional details of the Physical Education Department 

md its program, refer to chapter 8 

Medical and Dental Care 

The finest medical and dental care is provided each midshipman. Facilities 

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

nd periodic physical and dental examinations help keep midshipmen in ex-

.ellent 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 

aval 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. 

Financial Advice 

Midshipmen are provided financial advice on matters relating to loans, insurance programs, and estate planning throughout their four years at the 

Academy. This is accomplished through battalion and company-size lectures 

and through individual counselling as needed. The Midshipmen Financial 

Advisor is a Navy Supply Corps officer, and his office is in Bancroft Hall. 

41 

Religious Activities 

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

\lava! Academy and, in a sense, acts as a symbol of Annapolis to the outside 

..vorld. This is more than a coincidence. Over the decades of American hisory, fighting men have learned by experience that there is a dimension to 

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

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

ourage. 

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

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

apable of decisions that disregard political or personal expediency? The 

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

rmed forces-there are perhaps as many answers as their are individual 

ighting men. 

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

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

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

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

Attendance at religious services is optional. Midshipmen are encouraged to 

orship according to the dictates of their own consciences. They are reminded 

hat, as officers in the naval service, their personal beliefs will often be tested, 

d that, in limes of stress, their men will look to them for spiritual as well 

s professional guidance. The Naval Academy believes that future officers 

we it to themselves and to their men to gain insights into the moral, ethical, 

nd religious dimensions of leadership and, therefore, urges midshipmen to 

lake full advantage of opportunities for worship and moral development. 

Some midshipmen prefer a service in the tradition of their own faith purued at a church or synagogue 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 lo seek the 

strength and inspiration that comes from friendship with God.

IV The Naval Profession 

':)urs is a complex Navy-one whose ships range every ocean, whose officers 

md men not only sail the seas but are also engaged in research from the 

tropics to the poles and into space, whose supersonic planes provided the 

;raining ground for America's first astronauts, whose nuclear submarines and 

urface ships are a testimony to America's engineering genius, whose leaders 

,advise in the highest councils of government, and whose Marines stand second 

to none when tales of valor are told. Though ours is a vastly complicated and 

echnological Navy, the human being is, in the end, all-important. It is an 

rganization which puts a high premium on leaders with vision, dedication, 

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

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

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

graduate finds himself fully ready to assume his responsibilities as an officer 

in the greatest Navy or 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 responsibihhes 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. A large number of graduates 

choose to go to sea initially in a combat-type surface ship-i.e., aircraft 

earner, cruiser, destroyer, or amphibious warfare ship. Other graduates m;iy 

volunteer .rnd be selected for such warfare specialties or programs as aviation or nuclear power (either submarine or surface). 45 
46 

Prospective aviators may elect to go to sea with the Fleet for a year or two 

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

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

follow withjn 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. 

One out of every six Annapolis graduates may volunteer for appointment 

in the Marine Corps as a second lieutenant. All must complete basic training 

before joining regular Marine units or commencing flight training. 

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 tour at sea, the young officer has a fairly well 

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

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

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

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

generallv exercised during assignments ashore. These sub-specialties include 

•,uch varied fields as naval intelligence, oceanography, communications, meteorology, nuclear engineering, aeronautical engineering, management, international relations, and personnel administration. Officers aspiring to command at 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 officer in the Navy or 

Marine Corps presents many faces to the world as he advances in seniority: 

professional sailor, Marine, aviator, engineer, scientist, administrator, educator, diplomat, Fleet commander. His is not just a job, but a way of lifea 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 offiLer 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 responsibility and professional 

attainment by acquiring practical experience ashore and afloat 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 years. Opportunities for graduate work continue throughout an 

officer's career. Senior war colleges, in particular, are noted for bringing officers 

up to date on problems of international import and for relating these problems 

to our global strategy. The officer who aspires to positions of high responsibility must, of necessity, continue to grow intellectually and thus he will be a 

student during all of his professional life. Appendix F provides 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 country 

and fulfillment of our national policy 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 affairs, education, training, or managerial skills 

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

the concept of an educated officer. This commitment has been made and reaffirmed at every level of leadership in the Department of the Navy. A career 
officer becomes a part of this commitment, and he can be assured that his professional talents and intellectual ability will be enhanced by advanced education and assignments that fully challenge his interests and capabilities.

V Admissions 

Each year, the Naval Academy selects approximately 1,350 young men for 

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

state in the Union and from backgrounds reAecting 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 1978 included 178 (12 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 be unmarried and 

have no children 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 obt.iin 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 should pursue studies in high school that will prepare them for a 

rigorous college program. The quality of the work is important. The great 

majority 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 which must be 53 
..... 

54 

included in the school record, candidates are strongly urged to include the 

following subjects in their high school or prep school curriculum: 

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

Language-2 years, Chemistry-1 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 . 

Precandidate Questionnaire 

Each applicant should submit a Precandidate Questionnaire to the Naval 

Academy in the spring of his junior year, or as soon thereafter as practicable. 

The Academy will open the applicant's preadmission file upon receipt of the 

questionnaire. In.formation gathered in this file will be used by the Academy 

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

a preliminary evaluation of the applicant, the results of his medical examination, and other information which may assist him in being selected for a 

Congressional nomination. Precandidate Questionnaires should be requested 

from the Director of Candidate Guidance, U. 5. J\!aval Academy, Annapolis. 

Maryland 21402. 

Candidate Guidance 

The Candidate Guidance Office in Leahy Hall at the Naval Academy provides counsel to young men who are interested in a career of naval service 

through Annapolis. This office also coordinates the nation-wide activities of 

some 1,600 selected Naval Reserve officers, not on active duty, and civilians 

who have been designated Naval Academy Information ("Blue and Gold") 

Officers. These officers are qualified to counsel you on all aspects of admission 

and are in close contact throughout the year with officials at Annapolis. Appendix E lists the State/ Area Coordinators of this program. If, after reading 

this catalog, you have a question about the Academy or admission procedures, 

write to the coordinator nearest you or to: 

Superintendent

If you plan to visit Annapolis, the Academy is open to visitors seven days a 

week from 8 a.m to 5 p.m. A guidance counselor will be available to talk 

with you any weekd,w and on S,llurdays from o a m. to noon. 

Tests 

Either the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Scholastic Aptitude 

Test (SAT) or the American College Testing Program (ACT) test is reqU1red 

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 (\'alidation) are encouraged to take the appropriate College Board Achievement test(s). Smee achie\'ement tests are not 

considered in determining scholastic qual1ficat1on for admission, they may be 

taken as late as April

Some congres,men and other authorized nominators use competitive examin,1tions of the U S Civil Service Commission solely to assist them in 

evaluating and selecting their lJnd1dates. These special competitive examinations an· a tool to assist m the nommat1on process, but they do not determine 55 
56 

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 during the spring 

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

evaluate candidates during the summer months and some nominate m early 

fall. Most candidates will be notified of their nomination by the end of January during their semor 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 1s a listing of all nomination sources

Congressional Nominating Procedures 

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

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

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 

----

57 
58 

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 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 all qualified candidates will 

be considered automatically by the Academy's Admissions Board. 

Readmission of Former Midshipmen 

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

admission requirements, approval of the Naval Academy's 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 B. 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 B. Those who wear 

contact lenses must comply with special examination procedures. 

All physical examinations of candidates are conducted at designated Department of Defense medical examining centers. Examinations will be conducted 

only for those candidates who have been officially scheduled by the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DODMERB), a triservice agency responsible for scheduling and evaluating examinations 

For all the U. 5. service academies. The priority of medical scheduling 

60 

of candidates is determined by the Naval Academy. This procedure is necessary because of the relatively limited number of medical examining facilities 

available throughout the nation and the current shortage of military physicians. For some candidates, this means that they will not be scheduled for 

a medical examination until they are otherwise qualified and in line to be 

considered for an appointment. Other candidates may not be scheduled at 

all if, for example, they are found not scholastically qualified by the Admissions Board. However, you may be assured that if you are otherwise fully 

qualiried and are in a position to be appointed to the Naval Academy we will 

take immediate action to schedule your medical examination. 

Notification of Qualification 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 appontment 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 5317.10 per month, commencing on the date of 

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

at the Naval Academy. On graduation day, the average midshipman will have 

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

complete seabag of officer uniforms. 

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

the midshipmen's storekeeper the sum of $300, to be used in partial payment for uniforms, clothing, etc. In cases of extreme hardship this sum may 

be reduced to $100, 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 

$2,000. The deposit made at the time of entrance is supplemented by an entrance credit of 5600 upon first admission to the Naval Academy. The $600 

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

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

the indebtedness is accomplished by monthly deductions of $40 from the 
midshipman's pay, beginning in J:ebruary of the first year 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 

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

lo the service academies among those who are subject to the six-year obligation. Of this six-year obligation, five years are to be served by Naval 

Academy graduates as commissioned officers 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 Academyexcept 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 lime served as a 

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

obligated service 

Agreement Signed by Entering Midshipmen 

Upon admission, 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 is disenrolled from the Academy by competent authority). 

He will accept an appointment and serve 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. 

If authorized to resign from the Regular Navy before the sixth anniversary 61 
o2 

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

until the sixth anni\'ersary. 

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 1s separated prior to completing the course of instruction, except for phvs1cal 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 S Code 695Qb. \\'here separation occurs as a result 

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

be waived 

A midshipman who is separated after having entered the Naval Academv 

from the regular or reserve component of any service will revert to his 

former status under the appropriate statutorv provisions. Completion or 

partial completion of a prior service obligation by a separated midshipman 

who entered from this status does not necessarily exempt him from transfer 

to a reserve component and call to active duty in accordance with Title 10, 

U. 5. Code 6Q59b. 

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 reserve component in an appropriate enlisted 

status and ordered to active dutv for four vear~. 

Officers of the armed services serve at the pleasure of the President No 

terminal dates are established for their commissions.

The Foundation provides a limited number of post-high school preparatory 

scholarships annually to young men seeking admission to the Naval Academy 

to prepare for a career in the Navy or Marine Corps. Cash grants for these 

scholarships are made to participating junior colleges and preparatory schools 

or to a college selected by the applicant. Parents of young men selected for 

this program are expected to contribute financially within their capabilities. 

The Foundation offers no assistance other than counseling to individual applicants in obtaining nominations. 

Application should be made to the Executive Director, U. S. Naval Academy 

Foundation, Inc., 48 Maryland Avenue, Annapolis, Maryland 21401. Applications should be received by 1 April each year, although a limited number 

of later applications can be considered. 

Naval Academy Preparatory School 

The Naval Academy Preparatory School, recently moved to Newport, Rhode 

Island, has prepared servicemen for entry into the Naval Academy for over 

half a century. Enlisted men are enrolled at the school from August to May 

each year. The class is usually about half from the Regular Navy and half 

from the Naval Reserve. 

Applicants presently in a regular or reserve military status should apply 

through their commanding officers in accordance with current service directives. Students are selected competitively based on a review of their records, 

including academic transcripts, the recommendations of their commanding 

officers, and their scores on the Navy General Classification tests. 

Additionally, each year, the Naval Academy selects a number of the most 

promising and highly motivated of those civilian nominees wlio have indicnted 

that they were interested in attending the Preparatory School in the event 

they were not successful in being selected for admission to the Naval Acad· 

emy. Those selected are offered the opportunity to enlist in the Naval Reserve 

for the express purpose of attending the Preparatory School. Details concerning this program, including how to apply, are available from the Director 

of Candidate Guidance, U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. 21402. 

The Preparatory School offers college preparatory work in mathematics, 

physics, chemistry, and English. Students with appropriate backgrounds and 

abilities are able to undertake more advanced work, including courses at the 

college freshman level. Military training, physical training, and intramural 

and varsity sports programs complete the school's schedule. 
Questions and Answers 

Over the years it has been the experience of the Naval 

Academy that a great many misconceptions e,1st concerning adm1ss10n 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 subiect. 

Q. IV/10 ca11 become a midsl,ipman' 

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, 

unmarried and having no children, who are at least 17 years 

of age but not past their 22nd birthday on l July of the 

year of admission. 

Q. Wliat 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 111ay I get det(ll/ed adm1ss1ons information 7 

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 9-1035, or by writing 

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

Annapolis, Maryland 21302. 

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

nonunation' 

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

vour Congressional representative and to both of your U.S. 

65 
66 

senators by mail; your applications will be considered carefully. (See Precandidate Questionnaire, pg 54.) Each member of Congress may have five of his appointees attending the Academy at any one Hme. And each member may 

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. Once you 

are nominated, you officially become a candidate and your 

record is then evaluated by the Naval 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. I'm in the Naval Reserve. Can I get into the Academy? 

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. If I am eligible for both Congressional and Presidential nominations, can I req11est both? 

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. ls it rliffirnlt to enter directly from high school? 

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

high school or prep school. 

Q. lv1y grades were abo11t average, but I played in sev-

eral sports and was st11de11I body president. Also, I l1ad to 

work after school. Will tl1ese activities help me? 

A. Yes. Evidence of leadership ability and participation 
in extracurricular activities, including athletics and parttime jobs, carnes considerable weight in our evaluations. 

Q. I lrnvc a hi!l,lr IQ and 11111 11 strai.~1,t-A st11de11t Will 

moM of my time be spent 011 militmy s11hiects, or may I 

take any electives, s11cl1 as elccfrical e11gineerr11g? 

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 J 20 semester hours typical 

of most civilian colleges. There are 26 academic majors 

offered, from Far Eastern studies to mathematics to electrical engineering. Advanced research projects are offered in 

these and many other areas. 

Q. IV/int part of tire medical exmni11ntio11 gives t/ie most 

diffirnlty to car,didntes? 

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. If within waiverable lirmts, and otherwise fully 

~

ualrfied for admission, you will be considered n11/omnt1clly, based on your overall record, for a waiver by the 

cademy's Admissions Board. Since only a limited number 

of nominees may be granted a medical waiver, the compehtron for the available waivers 1s keen. It should be noted 

that 11// nominees within waiverable limits (and otherwise 

fully qualified), including principal nominees of Congressmen, must compete for these waivers. 

Q. I do11't like sports. Do I /1,rne to fry 011/ for a11ythi11g? 

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

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

Q. How much does it cost to be a midshipman? 

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

are provided In add1t1on, midshipmen receive a monthly 

salary of S317 10 for uniforms, books, and personal needs 

Salary and the value of the daily ration allowance (S2.50/ 

day) accrue to a midshipman's pay account while he is on 

leave. A S300.00 deposit is required on entry. 

Q. How often may I visit home? 

A. During Christmas and spring leaves In addition, 

month-long summer leaves are granted to the three upper 

classes. You must pay for your own travel. 

Q. How many flunk out~ 

A. Of the overall loss of approximately 33% over the 

entire four-year program for an average class, about onethird are academic failures. 

Q. Do I get to fly? 

A. All midshipmen receive Aight indoctrination in naval 

aircraft during their third summer. After graduaticn, selected volunteers receive A1ght tra1mng leading to designation as aviators m the Navy or Marine Corps. 

Q. Do I !{<'I to cl10osl' any of my courses? 

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

your courses. The great ma1ority of midshipmen get the,r 

first choice of a ma1or Occasionally, however, m order to 

better meet the future needs of the 1avy, a midshipman 

must accept his Sffond choice. 

Q. How 11111cl1 social life would I /1,w,• 111 the Academy' 

A. Social life is limited during the first vear. After the 

initial (plebe) year, there is a wide range of social dCtiv1-

ties available. There are weekend d,,nces and other extracurricular activities at the Academy and there are opportunities for afternoon liberties m town and for a number 

of weekends awav from the Academv. 
Q. I am a high school freshman. Wizen s/zould I start 

preparing myself for t/ze Academy? 

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

academics and in athletics and other extracurricular activities will be evaluated by the Naval Academy. 

Q. I am m college. Is it too late to enter the Academy? 

A. No. As long as you will not have passed your 22nd 

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

work will permit study of advanced courses at the Academy Normally, about eight percent of the members of each 

entering class have been in a civilian college. 

Q. If I failed to lie selected for an appointment for one 

class, ,1111 I eligible to ripply ngain? 

A. Yes. But you must obtain a new nomination and 

complete the entire admissions process to again be considered for an appointment. Also, each year, a number of 

the most promising of the unsuccessful candidates are invited by the Academy to enlist in the Naval Reserve for 

the express purpose of attending the Naval Academy 

Prep School. Here, they become eligible for a Secretary 

of the Navy nomination 

Q. IV/zen slzo11ld I apply~ 

A. Apply to your Congressional representative or senators for a nomination, whenever possible, in the spring of 

your 111nro1 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 

nominC'es bv this time. 

Q. IV/zr1t is my military obligation 011 11.rad1mtion? 

A. Six vears. Current directives require five of these to 

be on active dutv as a commissioned officer in the Navy or 

Marine Corps. 

Q. Cmz / become a Navy physici1111 or den~isf? 

A. Perhaps. The Navy does have a scholarship program for 

69 
70 

officers who have completed two years of active duty and 

have been admitted to an approved medical school There was 

a limited program for pre-medical training at the Naval 

Academy in the past but it does not exist for the present 

entering classes. If your primary interest is to become a 

Navv doctor or dentist, 1t is recommended that you attend 

a civilian college offering premedical studies 

Q. Does tire \Java/ Academy have a pre-law major' 

A. The Academy has no pre-law program. Graduates 

may apply for the Navy's law education program after 

two years of commissioned service. This is a very limited 

program, however, with only 25 officers selected from the 

Navv and Marine Corps each year Officers not selected 

are required to continue their careers as line officers. 

Q. \ly father wa~ rn the armed forces. Will tlris lrelp me 

to l(t't a 11omi11ntion? 

A. Sons of career members of the regular and reserve 

forces who are on active dutv or retired mav be considered 

for a nomination under the Presidential category. 

Q. What t_vpes of majors are offered at the Academy? 

A. The 26 ma1ors offered by the Academy include 

aerospace engineering, history, ocean engineering, English, 

European studies, physics, and many others 

Q. Wl1ere do midshipmen live? 

A. They are housed in one building, Bancroft Hall. perhaps the largest dormitorv in the world. Bancroft Hall has 

more than 4 .8 miles of corridors and 33 acres of floor 

space Each room has its own shower and all rooms have 

been remodeled in recent years. The Midshipmen's Wardroom is also located in Bancroft Hall. Here all 4,300 midshipmen are able to sit down and eat at one time. The food 

is served family style. The Hall contains a store, medical 
and dental facilities, and a soda fountain bowling alleys, 

and numerous other facil1hes. 

Q. I l11we nom111,1t;o,is to l1otl1 tire N11v11/ ,md the> Air 

F11 i\c11denries. M11st I 1mdergo two medical ex,mwwtions? 

A. No A single Qualifying Medical Examination conducted at anv of the militarv f.",amin,ng centers designated 

by the Department of Defense Medical Examination Rev,ew Board is acceptable for ,111 service academies. 

Q. lV/111t rca<ons 11r£' give11 most freq11e11tlv by plebes 

111}• res1g11 from th£" Ac,idcmy? 

,\. Resigning plebes most frequentlv sav 

(1) They came to the Academy under p.uental pressure. 

After a few weeks as plebes, they feel that they have fulfilled thl'ir obligation to their parents and resign 

(2) Thcv were attracted to the Academy bv ,ts glamour. 

They knew that the academic program was demanding, but 

they failed to real11e the extent of thc daily demands made 

on their lime by the military and professional aspects of 

the tr,1ining at Annapolis. <;ome, apparently, were expecting more of a rela,ed, collcge-tvpc NROTC program than 

thc regimen of a serv1te academy. 

Q. What are mv career choices on graduation? 

A. During the first semester of your senior ye,u you will 

be able to choose one of the following service selections 

on gr.1duation: (1) ~an· line (surface ships), (2) nuclear 

power tr,1inrng, (3) nav,11 avi.1t1on (either pilot or flight 

officf.'r training), (4) U. 5. \lanne Corps. The only exception to choos,ng one of these four selections would be in 

the event vou were found not mcdicallv qualified for 

commissioning as a line officer, in which case you would 

be commi~sioned in the staff corps or the rl'stricted line 

71 

VI. The Curriculum Challenge 

A 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 26 maior 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 mjdshipman 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 Academy's minimum requirement of having 80 percent of 

the midshipmen major in one of the engineering disciplines or the physical 

sciences, math, or operations analysis. The remaining midshipmen may major 

in one of the humanities or social sciences. 

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. 

All engineering maiors offered by the Naval Academy, except engineering 73 
74 

physics and general engineering, are accredited by the Engineering Council 

for Professional Development and lead to designated engineering degrees. 

Choosing a Major 

A midshipman's choice of a major governs the number of related and supporting courses he will require 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 

requirements 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 each midshipman is placed in a 

program of study, but at a level suited to his abilities and academic background. These courses are broad enough in scope to provide a sound basis for 

the selection of a maior during the latter part of the year. At the same time 

they con tain an element of commonality which enables the midshipman to 

progress into any of the 26 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:

Fundamenlals of Naval Science (first semester) and Introduction to 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 prepa ration for the professional courses and training which come 

during the next three years. 

History. The year's study of the history of sea power 1s 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 mathematteal foundation for further study in the various maiors. Midshipmen are placed 1n a 

sequence appropriate to their backgrounds and ability 

Composition and Literature. 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 
76 

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

are placed m 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. We consider one or more of the 

following in determining whether to grant credit for this work, validation 

examinations gi\'en by the appropriate academic departments, transcripts, and 

results of College Entrance Examination Board Achievement Tests and 

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

courses may be enrolled in more advanced courses during plebe year, if they 

desire, or they may elect to carry a lighter academic load. About 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 ma1or, 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 m 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 also 

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 
department in which he has expressed a particular interest, will help him 

define his study objectives 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 

over-all academic progress and any academic problems he may have from 

plebe year through graduation. 

Nuclear Power Program 

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

training in nuclear propulsion following graduation. Candidates selected 

undertake six months study in Nuclear Power School, Orlando, Fla., or 

Vallejo, Cal., followed by six months training 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 asptre to duty in one of 

these exciting ships can acquire a strong foundation by majoring in 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 major's chances for selection 

into the program. Each midshipman selected for nuclear propulsion training 

by the Director, Division of Naval Reactors, A EC, regardless of his major, 

takes one of several mathematics, science, or engineering courses the second 

semester of his senior year to enhance his preparation for Nuclear Power 

School (shown as NPP in the professional requirements listed with each major 

in the following chapter). 

Professional Course Requirements 

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

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

courses contribute to more effective summer training with the Fleet while he 

is a midshipman. 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 majors, midshipmen must satisfy certain distribution 77 

requirements in the humanities, social sciences, mathematics, science, and 

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

various majors. 

Academic Organization 

I The maior 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. S. and International Studies, 

and English and History- each headed by a Navy captain or Marine colonel. 

The divisions are further subdivided into departments, 19 in all, which serve 

as focal points for the administration of the majors program and for 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 1973, provides midshipmen and faculty 

members with comprehensive library service in support of the curriculum, 

research, and recreational reading. 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 areas are available to midshipmen and faculty 

members. Anticipated developments in the library include the application of 

data processing and closed circuit television techniques to library routines in 

order to provide more modern and efficient service. 

The library has a capacity of approximately 650,000 volumes and accommodates between 1,400 and 1,500 readers, utilizing a seating combination of 

study tables, study carrels, and lounge furniture. 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. S. and International Studies, the Educational Resources Center, and the Naval Academy Photographic laboratory are also 

housed within the 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 
80 

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. 

Grading 

The Naval Academy employs the letter grade system, A, 8, C, D, and F (A 

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

Grades are averaged, using a \,e1ghted semester-hour system called a Quality Point Rating (QPR). The QPR 1s 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) is 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 

pla,ed 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 

is required, however, and these grades are assigned very significant weight 

in determining class standing. 

A midshipman may be recommended for discharge by the Academic Board 

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

given ma1or, failure to achieve a semester QPR of at least l S 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 midshipmen attaining a SQPR 

of at least 3.-l with no grade below C, and with grades of A in aptitude and 

conduct and B or better in phvsical education Additional liberty is granted to 

nudshipmen on the Superintendent's List Called "star men," they proudly wear 
' 
82 

a gold star on the lapels of their uniforms. The Dean's List honors midshipmen with a minimum SQPR of 3.4 with no failure ("F") in any academic 

course or other area, including professional studies, aptitude, conduct, and 

physical education. 

Graduation Requirements 

To qualify for graduation a midshipman must: 

(1) Meet required military-professional standards in professional studies and 

at-sea training; 

(2) Meet required standards of aptitude for the service, conduct, and physical 

education, 

(3) Complete the courses specified by the department m which he is majoring; 

(4) Complete 140 credit hours and satisfy distribution requirements, 

(5) Achieve a cumulative quality point ratio (CQPR) of at least 2.00, a "C" 

average, 

(b) Accept a commission m the U S. Navy or U. S Marine Corps if proferred. 

All midshipmen who graduate are awarded the Bachelor of Science degree by 

the Superintendent upon the recommendation of the Commandant and the 

Academic Dean as approved by the Academic Board 

Residence 

The curriculum at the Naval Academy is of four years' duration, as required 

by law. This means that students who validate courses or who can carry extra 

courses have the opportunitv to do additional advanced work, pursue independent study and research, complete the requirements of two majors, or 

studv other subjects for self-improvement or of general interest. 

Schedule of Instruction 

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

academic year consists of two semesters, each of approximately lb 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 1veek. Small classes, averaging 20 m1dsh1pmen, provide ample opportunity 

for active classroom participation by each midshipman and for individual 

attention to students on the part of the instructor. 
Academic Emphasis 

The emphasis and diversity of the Naval Academy's academic program can 

best be summarized as follow: 

Seven designated Bachelor of Science Degrees. 

Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering

Aerospace Engineering, an ECPD accredited ma1or, involves the study of compressible and 

incompressible fluid flows, conventional and advanced propulsion systems, vehicle performance, stability and control and modern structural mechanics. It deals primarily with 

the analysis and design of air cushion vehicles, aircraft and spacecraft. Basic principles 

and ~ound engineering techniques are stressed. 

The curriculum pro\'ldl"s for various research projects and choice of a wide variety of 

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

include a flight test aircraft and a small surface effect vehicle. Computer techniques are 

empha,i,ed for data reduction, design, and graphic display. 

A solid foundation is laid which permits postgraduate work m a number of fields. A 

Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering is awarded

Department of Naval Systems Engineering 

Marine Engineering Major 

This ECPD accredited ma1or is concerned with the analysis and design of propulsio1 

po,ver plant systems. It is nuclear engineering oriented. Students completmg thic; progran 

can ex:pect to continue their education in the N~1vy's Nuclear Po\.,·er Program or m nuclea 

or marine engineering graduate studies. 

A broad background in engineering fundamentals is provided students. who then appl 
these principl('s in their studies o( conventional c;team and nuclr,u power plants~ gas 

turbines, and such advanced power system,; .is fuel cells and thrrmoelectric units. 

A course covering the prinC1plrs of naval rn~mrering systl'ms develops an under• 

s.t.:tnding of the principle,; of ship dci:.ign and con-.truction and introduCl·s student!- to the 

prohll'ms o( analy1ing and designing systems (or U!:>C' m the ocean environment Studies

Studies m he.it transfer 1;0 essential in the study of modern propulsion po\,·t.•r systems 

follow. Kno\,:ledge gained from these studies is then used in the an,1lysis of marine propulsion plants and in group des1~ns of future propulsion svst<'ms. 

l'a,t designs by students haw included the concept design of a propulS1on plant for a 

low \\',llrr plane catamaran, preliminary de)1gn of J. submarine wJste disposal system, 

and the concept design of an offshore nucl<'.u power pl.Jnt. A Bachelor of Science in

aval Architec ture Major 

~av.ii architecture, an [CPD accrt"d1ted ma1or, unlike most engineering disciplines unified 

by the nature of the phl'nomrn,1 involved, originally (ame into bt"ing as a di~cipline because of a single end-product, the ,hip. A special combination of knowledge and experi-

•·nce IS needed to de\'elop, d,·s1gn. and build this single product. Variety exists not only 

1n the J...ind~ ot work (design, reS,earch, cost cs.timalion, management, etc), but also m the 

typr.s of craft mvolvrd tram sail boats to aircr,1ft carriers, from hydrofoil boats to 

cat.1marans, from submaran<"s to a,r cushion vehicles. 

The n•1Val arch1ted uses both art and science In dt"signing ships. Armed with imc1ginahon ,1nd rxpenence, he convrrts the owner's tunctional requirement<; into a suitable cost· 

effecll\'e deSJgn. Ile analy,es and selects th<' best dimensions and hull form; he calculates t 

lht· power requirements and rstimate!> the weight~ of the principal components. He designs 

and analy,es the hull structure and decides on the location of military subsystems, 

machinery spaces accommodation<, and stores. Additionally, the ship must be divided 

into \\:alrrhght compartments so that. if damaged, the chances of survival are maximum. 

\\'e1ghmg and compromiSJng all such conflicting needs ,n the design of the sh,p are the 

nrat ve Jnd ch.illl'nging rc-spons1bilitaes ot thc naval architect 93

Naval architecture at the Naval Academy treats most of the preceding facets through a 

fully integrated program of classroom sessions, hands-on laboratory work, field trips, and 

the l,1tcst in computer-aided design and analysis technique<. A Bachelor of Science in 

Naval Architecture is awarded upon successful completion of the program.

Ocean Engineering Major 

Ocean Engineering, an ECPD accredited major, is the key to the last frontier on earth-the 

deep ocean. This is an interdisciplinary field involving the application of engineering principles to hardware systems in the ocean environment. The curriculum stresses funda• 

mentals of mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and 

oceanography, followed by the application of these fundamentals in ocean engineering 

courses which include analysis of ocean materials, power systems, acoustics, ,vave 

mechanics, life~support systems, and a wide variety of ocean vehicles and structures. 

Laboratory experiments are conducted in an 85-foot towing tank equipped with a 

pneumatic wave-maker and instrumented with sophisticated sensors ilnd on-line data 

acquisition and analysis equipment. The ~aval Academy's computer systems are used in 

solving design problems. Sediment laboratory and en\'ironmental chamber facilities are 

also available. l\lidshipmen have designed and are building an undersea habitat which 

will be used as a field laboratory. A Bachelor of Science in Ocean Engineering is awarded 

upon successful completion of the program

Chemistry, an experimental science, is the most laboratory-oriented program offered at the 

Naval Academy The undergraduate laboratory facilities of Michelson Hall are unexcelled. 

The serious student or chemistry has ample opportunity to experiment and observe as he 

pursues the sc1entilk method. Laboratory equipment includes single-pan balances, gas 

chroma tographs, 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 experimen tal techniques is highly 

valuable for naval officers working m many technical subspecialties., such as oceanspace 

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

The chemistry ma1or is approved by the American Chemical Society.

Physics Major 

The major program in Physics (1) presents fundamental physical concepts and principles 

in such a way 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 Lhe 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 

lo the physical world an approach increasingly important to those who will be leaders in 

our modern Navy. A solid background in physics achieved at the Academy will facilitate 

subsequent specialization in any technical area.

Engineering Physics Major 

Engineering Physics is an inter-disciplinary major providing balanced course sequences in 

physics, mecha.nical engineering, and mathemahcs. The broad scope of the course prepares 

the future officer technically for a professional career in the naval service. Throughout the 

program, the midshipman is encouraged to develop insight into the application of concepts 

which will enable him to pursue any one of a number of technical areas of graduate study. 

Engineering Physics provides a sound background for further concentration in phy,.cs, 

ordnance engineering, mechanical engineering, and other areas of engineering based on 

physics and applied mathematics. The curriculum is especially suited to provide a strong 

foundation for the nuclear power training program

The major In History concent-rates upon the development of the important civilizations, 

societies, and states of the world. The knowledge of historical evolution that is acquired 

will contribute s1gn1fic,1nt 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 ..1nd values at issue. The program provides a basic historical background as well as 

the opportunity for spcci.1lized study in the fields of American, European, non-\.Vestern, 

naval, and military history

VIII. 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.

more than three years as midshipmen 

139 

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." And, when President Gerald Ford visited 

the Naval Academy in June, 1974 to present the Commander-in-Chief's 

Trophy to the victorious Navy football team, he was no less emphatic in 

affirming his deep personal belief in the benefits of athletic competition. 

The exploits of Navy teams in competitive athletics 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. 141 



.. 
~,-- '.4,.

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 at 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 1s football, cross country, 

soccer, 150-pound football, and sailing. Winter 1s 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 during 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, to name a few. 

But perhaps even more a part of Annapolis life is the competition within 

the Brigade represented by 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 Knockabout Sailing Tennis 

Boxing Lacrosse Touch Football 

Crew Rugby Track 

Cross Country Soccer Volleyball 

Fencing Softball Water Polo 

Field Ball Squash Weightlifting 

Football Swimming Wrestling 

Handball Team Handball. 

Excellent physical facilities support the program Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, seating 28,000 fans between the goal lines, was dedicated 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, and a justcompleted indoor skating rink provides for hockey and other skating activities. 

The athletic program is administered by the Naval Academy Athletic 

Association, a non-profit organization headquartered in Annapolis. The Association arranges the varsity schedules and provides coaching staffs and 

equipment. 

147 

X. Extracurricular Activities 

Life at the Academy offers midshipmen a wide-ranging choice of over 70 

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, 

several combos, providing a lively variety of music for informal dances 

and other events, and the NA-IO-the ever-popular dance band of the 

Brigade of Midshipmen. 

Interested in writing? Members of the Brigade publish the Lucky Bag, 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, Makeup and 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 Relations Committee, or Radio Station WRNV, 

the "Voice 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 

is 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. 149

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 54-foot ocean racing sloop Rage and the SO-foot 

sloop Outrage to 12-foot Interclub dinghies. Basic sail training for 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 Bay 

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. 

The Naval Academy Yard Patrol Squadron is organized for midshipmen who 

desire more extensive training afloat. This voluntary training supplements the 

curriculum at th£ Academy and summer training with the Fleet. The Squadron 

consists of six 80-foot YP 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 to 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 the year. 

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.

XI. 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 Aag 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 

administra.tive staff. The Superintendent, the Commandant, the Academic 

Dean, and other senior members of the faculty comprise the Academic Board, 

which makes major 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 1s 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 continuitv 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. S. 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 
158 

The Board meets at least once, but usually twice, each year at the Naval 

Academy lo inquire into the state of morale and discipline, the curriculum, 

instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and related 

matters, and submits a written report of its action and its views and recommendations to the President of the United States.

may know the basic medical requirements for e11tra11ce to the Academy: 

MEDICAL HISTORY. The medical history will be compiled with particular care, 

with elaboration where indicated. Inquiries will be made in detail concerning all 

illnesses, injuries, and operations which candidates may have had. Failure to fully 

document these items can result in disappointment should related medical disqualification be determined later. A history of familial diseases will be investigated 

thoroughly. If the candidate has received medical care which has significantly 

affected his physical condition, he will be required to submit evidence from attending 

physicians or from hospital records concerning this medical care. A candidate who 

has defects that are remedial, including dental defects, should have them corrected 

prior to taking the Qualifying Medical £rnm111atio11

scholastic- .-nd leadership .ichfevt-ments 

These weight standards are necessarily arbitrary and waivers may be granted in 

unusual cases. Obesity is disqualifying. 

EYES AND VISION. Unaided visual acuity of 20/ 20 in each eye is a basic requirement. However, waivers may be granted to a limited number of candidates with 

exceptional scholastic and leadership achievements whose eyes are without excessive 

refractive errors and will correct to 20/ 20 with prescription lenses. (Technically, in 

evaluating the degree of refractive error, the strength of the lens required to correct 

the vision to 20/ 20 must not be greater than ± 5.50 diopters in any meridian, there 
cannot be more than 3 diopters of astigmatism present, and the maximum difference 

in power between the eyes may not exceed 3.5 diopters.) Candidates who wear 

spectacles should take them along when they receive their physical examination 

Both eyes must be free from any disfiguring or incapacitating abnormality and 

from acute or chronic disease. Candidates wearing contact lenses must remove 

them at least three weeks prior to reporting for medical examination. Normal color 

perception is required. 

HEART AND VASCULAR SYSTEM. An electrocardiogram is required of all candidates. The following conditions may be causes for rejection, and they require complete medical evaluation: all organic valvular diseases of the heart, including those 

improved by surgery; EKG evidence of variations from normal heart beat; and hypertension evidenced by predominant blood pressure reading of 140 mm or more systolic 

or 90 mm or more diastolic. The following are causes for rejection: varicose veins, 

if severe or symptomatic; heart rate greater than 100 on repeated examinations; substantiated history of rheumatic fever within the previous two years; recurrent attacks of rheumatic fever or evidence of residual cardiac damage; history of recurring 

rapid heart beat within the preceding five years (paroxysmal tachycardia). 

EARS AND HEARING Auditory acuity of all candidates will be determined. Maximum acceptable hearing loss in decibels is indicated on the following chart:

to undergo careful preliminary examination by qualified medical personnel who are 

conversant with the physical requirements set forth in Appendix 8 of this catalog 

before leaving their homes for the Naval Academy. Those with obviously disqualifying defects may thus be spared the needless expense of the trip to Annapolis In case of reasonable doubt as to whether or not the defects are disqualifying, 

it is recommended that a telegraphic inquiry be addressed to the Superintendent, 

U. 5. Naval Academy, Attn : Director of Candidate Guidance, Annapolis, Maryland, 21402 U.S.A. 

D Be proficient in reading, writing, and speaking idiomatic English. Candidates 

may meet scholastic entrance requirements by submitting certificates from schools 

attended. They must also take either the American College Testing Program (ACT) 

test or the College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). 

Due consideration is given to the fact that these tests are prepared in the English 

language and not in the native tongue of the candidate. 
The naval attache or a diplomatic representative of the United States in the 

candidate's country must provide a report of the candidate's proficiency in the use 

of idiomatic English, 

Governments should submit the names of candidates as early as possible ,n order 

that they may qualify for entrance by the end of April and enter the Naval Academy 

in July 

In lieu of the oath of allegiance to the United States, a substitute oath will be 

required, in substance as follows. 

. .. , a citizen of 

having been appointed a m1dsh1pman at the United States 

Naval Academy, do solemnly swear to comply with all 

regulations for the pohcy and discipline of the Naval 

Academy, and to give my utmost efforts to accomplish 

satisfactorily the required curriculum, do swear not to 

divulge any information of mihtary value which I may 

obtain directly or indirectly in consequence of my presence 

at the United States Naval Academy to any alien government; and do agree that I shall be withdrawn from the 

United States Naval Academy if deficient in conduct, 

health, or studies. 

Notification will be given to the governments concerned that students found by 

proper authority to be unsatisfactory m conduct, studies, or health will be accorded 

the same consideration given to other midshipmen regarding withdrawal from the 

Academy or repetition of a year's work. 

Appendix D 

Oath of Office and Entrance Day Procedures 

Candidates for whom there are vacancies and who have met the scholastic, moral, 

and physical requirements, will be offered appointments as midshipmen and be 

admitted to the Naval Academy. 197 
198 

Each candidate for midshipman will be required to take the following oath of 

office upon entrance: 

"l, ................................ , havitig beeti appo1t1ted a midshipman 

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

defend the Co11stitutio11 of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that l will /,ear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without a11y mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will 

well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which l am about lo enter; 

So Help Me God." 

You will take the oath by holding up your right hand and swearing that you 

voluntarily bind yourself by its terms. You will also sign your name as a record to 

your oath. This must not be a perfunctory procedure in any sense, and you should 

consider carefully and understand thoroughly the obligation that will become yours. 

He will also be required to subscribe to the following agreement under oath: 

"For and in consideration of the privileges, opportunities, and benefits afforded me 

during the conti,mance of my service as a midshipman, l agree to and with the 

Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy, as follows: 

"First: To enter tl,e service of the Navy of the United States and, to the utmost of 

my power and ability, to be in everything conformable and obedient to the several 

requirements and lawful commands of tl,e officers who may be placed over me. 

"Second: I oblige myself, during such service, to comply with and be subject to the 

Uniform Code of Military Justice and s11cl1 other laws and regulations as are or 

shall be established by the Congress of the United Stales or other competent a11-

t/1ority. 

"Third: To submit to treatment for the prevention of smallpox, typhoid (typhoid 

prophylaxis), and lo s11cl1 other preuentive measures as may be considered necessary l,y naval authorities." 

Candidates are usually sworn in as midshipmen on the day they are accepted for 

admission, i.e., the date of reporting to the Naval Academy as designated in the 

Permit to 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 m mind, however, that transportation facilities between Washington and Annapolis and between Baltimore and Annapolis are 

limited. 

Midshipmen who are involuntarily separated from the Naval Academy prior to 

repayment of the entrance credit, are required to tum in all articles of uniform and 

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 1s cancelled. Midshipmen 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. 

Upon entrance, midshipmen will be required to obtain a regulation entrance outfit from the midshipmen's storekeeper. Sltde 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 8 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 outside the United States, candidates must contact the nearest naval activity for information as to the availability of government transportation before endeavoring 

to procure commercial transportation. When government transportation is not available, a certified statement to this effect must be presented in order for the candidate 

to be reimbursed after he has become 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 n11d locations of all schools nttended. 

Fmnily names, dntes nnd plnces of birth of pnrents, sen,ice dnta if pnre11ts nre or 

were in anned forces; 11nt11rnlizntio11 numbers of parents if npplicable. 

Relntives in foreign comrlries-relationship and location. 

Names and nddresses of former employers. 

Nnmes nnd addresses of three credit nnd five perso11nl references (credit references 

mny include those of pnrents). 

Residences d11ring pnst 15 yem·s. (Dntes, street nddresses, nnd cities nre 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. 

199 
State Coordinators 

ALABAMA 

Each qualified candidate, before being admitted as a midshipman must deposit 

with the Midshipmen Store, U. 5. Naval Academy, the sum of $300, to be used to 

cover in part the cost of uniforms, clothing, textbooks, etc. The deposit is not 

refundable. This deposit should be made in the form of a personal check, cashier's 

check, certified check, traveler's check, etc., made payable to the Midshipmen Store, 

U. 5. Naval Academy. In hardship cases the deposit may be reduced to $100 by 

the Registrar. 

Appendix E 

Naval Academy Information Program 

NAVAL ACADEMY INFORMATION OFFICERS, commonly known as Blue and Gold 

Officers, are Naval Reserve officers located throughout the country who have received specialized training in the Naval Academy admission procedures. These 

officers are not on active duty but are in contact with officials at Annapolis throughout 

the year. Anyone interested in receiving counseling assistance from a Blue and Gold 

Officer may write or call the nearest Naval Academy Information Officer State 

Coordinator.

Naval and Marin e Corps Officers' Graduate Education Programs 

The vast ma1onty of Annapolis graduates go directly to sea or to the Fleet Marine 

Force, thus beginning their professional careers in an operational environment. A 

few, those with outstanding records as midshipmen, may compete for a limited 

number of graduate scholarships. Several of these scholarships require enrollment 

immediately upon graduation from the Academy. Most graduates, however, will first 

complete their initial operational tour of duty with the Fleet before they may expect 

the opportunity to be enrolled in a masters program, either at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, or in programs offered at a number of 

participating civilian universities. Still others will have the opportunity to undertake 

graduate studies at a later time in their careers. 

JUNIOR LINE OFFICER ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC EDUCATIONAL 

(BURKE) PROGRAM 

The Burke Program is open to 15 qualified midshipmen each year, 13 in the fields 

of science or engineering and two in the field of political sc,ence. Officers who demonstrate superior academic ability and potential may be authorized to continue their 

education beyond the master's to the attainment of a PhD degree. 

Although selected as midshipmen, graduates complete an initial operational tour 203 
204 

of two to four years as officers prior to reporting to the civilian educational institution of their choice. 

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM 

Nationally known scholarships or fellowships are available to qualified graduates of 

the Naval Academy. Graduate studies may be pursued in various fields and in 

several countries while receiving pay as a commissioned officer in the Navy or 

Marine Corps. Among programs for which midshipmen have been selected in recent 

years are the following .
