Gentlemen 

Each of you is faced with the problem of determining what 

to do with your lives after graduation from high school. 

As you look over this catalog I would ask you to give 

serious consideration to what Annapolis has to offer 

you-and to the poss1bili1Les for service to your nation 

that it opens to you. The education offered by the Naval 

Academy today is one of the finest in the nation. It is 

flexible, of high quality, and is conducted in one of the 

finest physical plants in the United States. 

But Annapolis offers much more than an education It 

provides traming in leadership which will stand you in 

good stead throughout your life and it is dedicated to the 

inculcation of those characteristics of manliness, duty, 

and honor which have always been associated with service 

to our nation on the highest level 

Annapolis offers you a sophisticated and advanced education tailorable to many of your individual wishes and 

aptitudes-but much more important, it is dedicated to 

developing within its graduates an understanding of what 

1t means to be a competent and conscientious professional 

officer. I can assure you from personal experience that it is 

as exciting, varied, and rewarding a career as is open to 

the young men of America anywhere today I recommend that you give it your careful consideration.

The Opportunity 

Education-Service-Adventure 

The computer-swift development of science and technology and the fragmentation of almost every academic discipline into new areas of specialization 

have opened to high school graduates career possibilities- undreamed of a 

decade ago. Today in our country there are opportunities for wealth, intellectual achievement, service to man, leadership, and personal satisfaction 

never before offered to the youth of any nation. 

Concurrent with the vast broadening of knowledge and the unfolding of 

new and varied careers is the passing of the age of the generalist. The future 

belongs to the specialist, and every sign points to even further refinement 

and subspecialization in the fields of science, engineering, business, management, government, medicine, and yes-even the military profession 

While opportunities abound in challenging career fields, a young man must 

make his own decision as to which academic path he intends to follow. This 

choice will have a far-reaching effect upon his future. Specialization demands 

that it be made early. This will not be an easy choice and, to do justice to 

himself, he must seek advice and counsel from every quarter. In the end, 

however, only he can evaluate his own potential and accurately weigh his 

capabilities, his likes and dislikes, and his aspirations. 

An officer in the U S. Navy serves in a dynamic profession which offers 

challenges and experience in the fields of science and technology, leadership, 

education, management, diplomacy, and many others Graduate education and 

a career subspecialty are firm objectives for every naval and Marine Corps 
officer. Advanced degrees for three out of four career officers is the Navy's 

goal. Thus, the great majority of Academy graduates can expect to undertake 

graduate studies during their service careers. Every young man should look 

carefully at the Naval Academy program, for there is certainly an area of intellectual endeavor that will capture his interest and enthusiasm. 

But there is more to the naval profession than academic achievement and 

the application of knowledge and skills to the operation of warships and aircraft. These, of course; but more important, the naval profession offers two 

factors which are fast disappearing in other careers in this age of specialization-adventure and service. Adventure, not in the swashbuckling sense of 

the word, nor service as a routine cog in an administrative machine, but adventure and service in terms of challenging the last frontiers of earth-its 

seas and what lies below-its sky and space beyond. Adventure as it is known 

by Astronauts William A. Anders, U. 5. Naval Academy Class of 1955; 

Walter M. Schirra, Jr., Class of 1946; Alan B. Shepard, Jr., Class of 1945; 

James A. Lovell, Jr., Donn F. Eisele, and Thomas P. Stafford, Class of 1952. 

Polar exploration as pioneered by Richard E. Byrd, Class of 1912, and continued both above and below the ice pack in recent years by Naval Academy 

graduates. Service and adventure that thousands of naval officers have experienced in defending their country and freedom throughout the world. 

Every naval officer comes to know adventure-it is that ultimate challenge 

which tests the man, his abilities, and his courage. And history shows that 

through adventure and service come the true and great personal achievements 

of man. 

The Naval Academy educates for adventure, for it educates men to serve 

their country and its people in positions of command at sea and in the airand thus for an active role in the forefront of man's adventurous exploration 

and utilization of his environment. It is this role of preparing its graduates for 

command in these environments which distinguishes the Naval Academy 

from every college and university in the country. 

Adventure greets the new midshipman the moment he arrives in Annapolis. 

During his first summer he learns the fundamentals of a military life: he 

learns to shoot, to sail, to march, to organize his waking hours. Physical tests 

and drills and competitive athletics round him into top physical condition. 

Subsequent summers are spent at sea and at naval installations learning the 

ships, aircraft, and submarines which he will someday command. He gains 

his sea legs and comes to know the officers and men whom he will soon join. 

2 He experiences firsthand the operation of the complex weapons and engineer-
ing systems he has studied during the academic year. He visits foreign lands 

and begins to learn something of the people, places, and problems that make 

up the complex world of today. During his last summer, he serves as a junior 

officer in a surface ship or submarine; he encounters the challenges and rewards of leadership, and shoulders the responsibilities of a watch officer at 

sea. Month-long summer leaves provide relaxation at home during the last 

three summers. 

The midshipman devotes his major efforts to his studies at Annapolis during the academic year. He soon realizes that he is competing in the classroom 

with men who were among the top students in their high schools. The competition is keen, but each man knows that his greatest competition is himself. 

In time he gains a new perspective on competition. He learns that a man 

alone accomplishes very little in life and that it is only when a man teams 

with other men, giving his best to the team effort, that he earns the full 

achievement of his goals. He learns to excel through competition and to 

achieve through teamwork. 

There is yet another side to life at the Naval Academy. This is the physical 

and competitive challenge afforded by participation on one or more of the 21 

varsity athletic teams, or in at least one of 23 intramural sports programs. One 

out of every three midshipmen trains and travels as a member of a varsity 

team. Others must take part in the intramural program. Four years of competition on the playing fields of Annapolis develop the stamina and spirit of 

teamwork necessary for those who seek to qualify for the active life of a 

Navy or Marine Corps officer. 

The U. 5. Naval Academy belongs to the young men of America. Hopefully 

the following pages will help them weigh the opportunities it offers for education, service, and adventure in their search for a personal path to 

tomorrow.

The Years 1845- 1970 

Through the years 1845 to 1970, 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, expanding its facilities 

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

professional leadership and performance 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. Located on the 

original site of Fort Severn, at the mouth of the Severn River on Chesapeake 

Bay in historic Annapolis, Maryland, the Academy is convenient to Washington, D. C., and Baltimore, Maryland. The first Superintendent was Commander Franklin Buchanan. His seven-member faculty of four officers and 

three civilians taught gunnery, naval tactics, engineering, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, French, and English Sixty midshipmen, comprising two 

classes, attended the Academy's first convocation. 

In 1850-51, the Naval School was reorganized as the U 5. Naval Academy, 

and the course of study was spread over four academic years. Summer cruises 

provided the midshipmen with seagoing experience to augment their classroom 

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

first appeared at the Naval Academy over 100 years ago. 

During the Civil War, the Academy was moved temporarily to Newport, 5 
R.I. Following the war, it was returned to Annapolis, where it has since 

remained. 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 

serving as an instructor in the Department of Physics a.nd Chemistry at the 

Academy. Michelson continued his brilliant scientiiic work after leaving the 

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

Prize. The supreme compliment was paid by Albert Einstein who once noted 

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

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

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

standard in the field, and a succession of reno,vned mjlitary leaders in peace 

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

Spruance, and Burke need no introduction. The successors and heirs to their 

greatness are midshipmen today. 

Following accreditation of the Naval Academy in 1930 by the Association 

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

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

beginning with the Class of 1931. Subsequently, in 1939, Congress authorized 

the award of the B.S. degree to all living graduates. The Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools first accredited the Academy in 

1947. And, in 1958, the tests of the College Entrance Examination Board replaced Academy-prepared entrance examinations. 

In 1964, the Academy's Ph.D. program was instituted under which highly 

qualified midshipmen may be selected to go directly to graduate studies leading to a Ph.D. degree. Other programs initiated in recent years include nuclear 

power training and a number of graduate programs. The Immediate Graduate 

Education Program was initiated in the fall of 1966 to provide the opportunity 

for qualified midshipmen to continue their studies immediately after graduation in accelerated master's programs at participating universities or at the 

Naval Postgraduate School. Also in 1966, an Academic Advisory Board of 

distinguished Americans was appointed by the Secretary of the Navy to advise a.nd counsel the Superintendent on academic matters. 

6 Midshipmen have won an impressive number of academic honors through 
the years. Midshipmen of the Class of 1969 were awarded many top scholarships, including three Atomic Energy Commission, one National Science 

Foundation, seven Guggenheim, twelve Olmstead, ten Burke, and nineteen 

other scholarships, fellowships, or trusteeships at sponsoring civilian universities, Fifty-six midshipmen of the Class of 1969 were selected for the Navy's 

Immediate Graduate Education Program-ample evidence of the quality of a 

Naval Academy education. 

Yard and Facilities 

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

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

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

and buildings of the Academy. Everyone is welcome during daylight hours, 

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

available. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

midshipmen's dormitory; the construction of a Brigade Library and Assembly 

Hall; the construction of an athletic Field House, large enough to accommodate the entire 4,200-man Brigade of Midshipmen, and the families and 

friends of First Classmen at graduation time; and the construction, with 

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

A multimillion-dollar renovation of six of Bancroft Hall's eight wings was 

completed in 1965. 

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

plan is underway. Key structures in this plan are the new science building, 

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

Both were completed in the summer of 1968. An engineering building and 

laboratory complex, a 750,000-volume library, and a 2,500-seat multi-purpose 

auditorium are scheduled for early completion. A full range of facilities and 

services for student and faculty research, computer-aided education, and 7

educational television will be provided throughout the academic complex. All 

academic areas will be air-conditioned. 

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

largest dormitory complex in the world. Stretching over many acres, and so 

large that it must be viewed from the air to be seen in its entirety, it houses 

the complete Brigade. All of the basic facilities needed for daily Living, as well 

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

service on midshipmen uniforms which the tailor shops keep fitted and repaired. Barber shops manage nearly 4,000 haircuts every week. The Midshipmen's Store is the place to buy daily necessities and an occasional gift. There 

are Chaplains' offices with small adjoining Protestant and Catholic Chapels. 

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

mess hall. Here, midshipmen demonstrate their enthusiasm for the appetiz.ing, 
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, a library, an assembly hall, a bookstore, and the midshipmen's 

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

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

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

with their dates. 

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

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

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

finest traditions Cl 

Education for Leadership 

Fulfilling a Mission 

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

In carrying out the commitment, the staff and faculty must ensure not only 

that the academic curriculum provides a superb undergraduate education, but 

also that midshipmen are imbued with the highest ideals of duty, honor, and 

loyalty and that they are physically prepared for the rigors of commissioned 

service in peace and in war. This broad-based mission calls for a balanced 

Naval Academy program. Studies are emphasized during the academic year. 

A midshipman's time is carefully planned to ensure that he devotes ample 

time to his studies. The hours remaining are allocated in such a way as to 

accommodate physical education, intramural and varsity sports, and the 

performance of military duties and training. 

0 rganiza tion 

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 senior Navy captain, commands the Brigade. He 

is responsible for instilling high ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty; for providing military indoctrination and physical development; and for inculcating 

midshipmen with the desire to achieve the high standards of performance 

required of midshipmen and officers of the naval service. The Commandant 11 
co-ordinates the functions of the Executive and Physical Education Departments in carrying out these responsibilities. 

Headed by a senior naval officer, officers of the Executive Department work 

directly with the Brigade. As battalion, company, and staff officers, they 

work and live in close daily contact with the midshipmen in Bancroft Hall. 

Here, by precept and example, the application of sound techniques of leadership, counsel, and guidance, and, when required, corrective or disciplinary 

action, the midshipman is measured, molded, and motivated for the day when 

he will join the Navy or the Marine Corps. 

For purposes of military training and administration, the 4,200-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, which is 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 Oassman, 

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

officers of the Executive Department for these commands and staffs on the 

basis of their demonstrated proficiency in leadership and 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, 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 at the Academy until 

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

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

under close supervision and careful guidance. Plebe indoctrination is administered by midshipmen of the First Class, assisted by the Second Classmen, and closely supervised by the Commandant and the officers of the 

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

other phases of midshipmen training and education, the system directly 

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

a basic understanding of military relationships and the military environment. 

Its aim is to teach each plebe to: 

Exercise self-discipline, 

Effectively organize his time and effort, 

Perform efficiently under stress, 

Think and react quickly with good judgment, 

Exhibit an exemplary military bearing and appearance. 

Plebe year is designed to test and develop. It is a deliberate period of testing, requiring a midshipman to stand on his own two 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, exciting day of plebe summer is one that most midshipmen remember for many years. This is scarcely surprising, for in one short day, civilians become midshipmen. They ar~ given haircuts, issued uniforms, taught 

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

mess hall. Their military indoctrination gets off to a fast start, but they are 

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

far behind. 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic 

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

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

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

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

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

talent shows. 

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

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

A dress parade officered by the new plebes, exhibitions in sports, and the 

opportunity to go sailing with their sons help to assure parents that their sons 

are taking their new life as midshipmen in stride. 

September arrives. Upperclassmen return from at-sea training, leave, and 13 
other summer activities. The academic year gets underway. four years of 

intense and interesting study lie ahead. Plebe summer is over, but plebe 

indoctrination continues. 

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 a two-weeks' leave, which provides plebes with the first 

opportunity to visit their homes since entry in June, and gives all midshipmen 

a welcome break in the.academic routine. Classes resume in early January, 

followed by examinations near the end of the month. Exams are followed by 

a three-day leave period and then the start of the second semester. Another 

three days of leave break the academic routine during the spring. 

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 well-deserved 

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

Third Class Year. At the end of June Week, the first year of intensive indoctrination is ended, and the new Third Classmen depart on two months of 

!raining at sea with the Fleet, accompanied by midshipmen of the First Class. 

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 later 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 

at the end of their second June Week, the Third Classmen become Second 

Classmen and begin an interesting summer of professional studies, training, 

14 and indoctrination, followed by 30 days of leave.

Second Class Year. During a fast-moving summer, the class undertakes 

professional studies at the Naval Academy, completes familiarization and 

flight indoctrination in naval training and operational aircraft at naval air 

stations in Florida, and receives introductory submarine training at the Navy's 

submarine base in New London, Connecticut. Some are selected to assist with 

indoctrination and training of the new plebes at the Academy. Summer training ends with amphibious training at the Atlantic Fleet's Amphibious Base at 

Little Creek (Norfolk), Virginia. 

As the Second Class midshipmen return to the Academy to begin their 

third academic year, still greater military responsibilities become theirs. Midshipmen officers are selected and trained to direct the Brigade during periodic 

absences of the First Class. An important role in the indoctrination of the new 

Fourth Class is undertaken by the Second Class. In addition to contributing 

to the development of the Fourth Classmen, this responsibility makes a vital 

contribution to the Second Classmen's growth as leaders. There is little time 

for watching the calendar. And, before long, another June Week has come 

and gone, and First Class Year is underway.

Fleet 

15 
First Class YeaI . During his last summer as a midshipman, the new First 

Classman again trains at sea. He assists in training the Third dassmen embarked in his ship. He stands the watches and performs the duties of a young 

commissioned naval officer and is exposed to the social courtesies, amenities, 

and customs of wardroom life on board ship. Work in navigation, watchstanding on the bridge, exercises in the Combat Information Center and in 

the engineering spaces, and lectures and studies on other aspects of shipboard 

life complete the summer's training with the Fleet. 

Normally, midshipmen train at sea enroute to and in foreign waters and 

thus they visit a number of foreign ports. In 1969, ships visited Japan, Hong 

Kong, and Hawaii in the Pacific; Naples, Athens, and Gibraltar in the Mediterranean; and Portsmouth, Hamburg, and Oslo 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 three sets of midshipmen officers during 

each academic year increases the individual opportunity for this valuable 

leadership experience. The third, or final, set of stripers is selected by the 

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

fn 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 experience, graduation finds him well prepared to assume his leadership responsibilities in the Navy or the Marine Corps as a newly commissioned officer. 

The Professional Training Program 

The Commandant directs the Academy's professional trammg program. 

Designed to provide graduates with a sound foundation in the fundamental 

specialized knowledge and skills required of a professional naval or Marine 

Corps officer, the program encompasses a wide range of professional education, training, and drills. 

Over 2,000 hours of instruction are devoted to providing this foundation 

during the midshipman's four years at the Academy. A midshipman's class 

standing at graduation depends significantly on his professional training 

16 performance.

Included in the program are formal courses of instruction, practical training, 

physical education, lectures, and a variety of evolutions and drills in which 

the midshipmen learn by doing. Progressing from basic military and naval 

knowledge to the presentation of more advanced information and concepts, 

the program supports and complements both the military life within the 

Brigade and the professionally oriented academic courses. A description of 

the courses, drills, and training making up the professional training program 

begins on page 105. 

Leave and Privileges 

The amount of personal freedom and the privileges granted a midshipman 

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

First Classman not only will have more responsibility in the administration 

of the Brigade, but he will also have more privileges. And proficiency in 

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

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

during the year These include Christmas leave, a period of about two weeks; 

end-of-term leave, a three-day break at the end of the first term in January; 

spring leave, a period of three days, usually in late March; and the monthlong summer leave for the three upper classes. 

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

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

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

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

permitted to escort voung ladies on at least three occasions in addition to 

June Week. 

First, Second, and Third Classmen have liberty on Saturday afternoons and 

evenings, and on Sunday afternoons. In addition, Second Classmen rate liberty 

on \ Vednesday afternoons and First Classmen rate liberty weekday afternoons and on Friday evenings. V\'eekday liberties begin after classes are 

completed for the dav. \\'eekend liberty limits for First Classmen extend to 

50 miles. All other classes must remain in the Annapolis area. 

Weekend leaves are granted to upperclassmen. Midshipmen Third Class 

may take one weekend of leave each semester, Second Class midshipmen 

receive two each semester, and First Classmen receive four each semester. 

Additional weekends may be granted to midshipmen for noteworthy academic 

18 performance or other individual achievements. 
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, strength, 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 knowledge 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 carryover sports for enjoyment after graduation. 

The program gets off lo a fast start during plebe summer. Preliminary 

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

fencing, soccer, gymnastics, crew, golf, tennis, squash racquets, volleyball, 

and track. 

The pace continues during the first academic year. Advanced instruction is 

given in badminton, soccer, swimming, boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, golf, 

tennis, and volleyball. In addition, midshipmen are introduced to basketball, 

handball, and bowling, and they a re tested in applied strength, agility, swimming, boxing, wrestling, and gymnastics. 

The final three years provide increasingly advanced instruction and demanding tests. Personal conditioning, athletic administration, and hand-tohand combat are added to the area of instruction. For additional details of the 

Physical Education Department and its program, refer to page 109. 

Medical and Dental Care 

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

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

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

facilities of the U. 5 Naval Hospital at the Academy as well as those of the 

nearby U. 5. Naval Hospital at the world-famous National Naval Medical 

Center in Bethesda, Maryland. 19 
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. The Legal Assistance Office is located in the 

Administration Building. 

Religious Activities 

The copper-green dome of the Chapel towers over the rest of the Academy's 

buildings and, in a sense, acts as a symbol of Annapolis to the outside world. 

It is no accident that it is thus. Over the decades of American history, fighting men have learned by experience that there is a dimension to combat 

leadership which can never be understood by those who have not experienced 

it-this is the spiritual factor, the intangible thing we call courage. 

What is it that causes men to exhibit bravery in the face of danger? Where 

do they tum for help and reassurance before the battle? The answers to these 

questions vary for each individual who goes into combat-there are perhaps 
as many answers as there are individual fighting men. 

An awareness of these varying needs for assistance in time of stress and 

danger is an essential dimension of effective officership. It is a major reason 

why the Naval Academy has long had a program designed to produce an 

appreciation in its graduates of the spiritual and moral dimensions of military 

leadership. 

The Naval Academy recognizes that different men want to approach their 

appreciation from different directions. Some will prefer a program of their 

own traditional faith pursued at one of the local churches in Annapolis. 

Others will prefer the Academy's own Chapel with Protestant and Catholic 

services featuring nationally-famous guest preachers and lecturers. Others 

may prefer more secularly-oriented approaches. 

A wide choice is offered, but the Academy requires weekly participation in 

some part of this program by each midshipman. This should be understood 

by all young men seeking to enter Annapolis. 

The Navy has never required prior commitment to a Navy career from 

young men who want to attend the Academy. But it must insist that they 

understand the moral responsibility of commanding other men. 

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

to the freshman, or plebe, class. They come from every state in the Union and 

from families representing a wide variety of occupations and interests. The 

young men who will benefit most from the Naval Academy are those who 

desire a balanced program of moral, intellectual, and physical development 

Pursuant to laws enacted by Congress, a candidate for the Academy must 

be at least 17 years of age and must not have reached his 22nd birthday by 1 

July in the year of admission. He must never have been married and, except 

for limited quotas of foreign midshipmen specifically authorized by Congress, 

he must be a citizen of the United States. 

The Admissions Committee examines each candidate's school records, 

College Board 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. 

School Record 

Admission 

Candidates are expected to have pursued studies in high school which 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 perlent of their high school classes, and chances 23 
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 included in the school record, candidates are strongly urged to 

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

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

Language 2 years, Chemistry- 1 year, Physics 1 year 

A small percentage of each new plebe class will have had at least one semester of college work prior to admission to Annapolis. All such students 

must enter the Acadcmv as plebes. The Admissions Committee requires that 

applicants furnish transcripts of any previous college work they may have 

undertaken. 

College Entrance Examination Board Tests 

The Scholastic Aptitude Test and the achievement tests in English Composition and Mathematics (Level I or Level II) are required of all candidates. These 

tests must be taken no later than March of the calenda r year of admission to 

Annapolis, but it is generally beneficial to take them as early and as often as 

possible during the senior year in high school. 

Arrangements to take the College Board tests can be made through a high 

school guidance counselor or by wntmg directly to the College Entrance Examination Board, Box 502, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, or Box 1025, Berkeley California 94 701. 

Applying for Nomination 

A candidate must obtain a nomination to be considered for an appointment as 

a midshipman. It is advisa/1/c to apply for nominatron during tl,e spring of 

onr' s j1111ior year in high school. A candidate is usually notified of his nomination by the end of January during his senior academic year. There are many 

sources of nominations. A young man may apply to one or more of the 

following· 

U. 5. Senators, Representati,·es, the Mayor of the District of Columbia, and 

the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico. Each may have five midshipmen 

attending the Academv at any one time Ten nominations may be made for 

each vacancy. It is not necessary to know the official personally. The candidate 

should apply directly to his two Senators and the Representative from his 

2-1 Congressional District. 
The President. Sons of career members of the Armed Forces (including 

Coast Guard), active, retired, or deceased, are eligible to compete for 100 

appointments each year. Application should be made to the Bureau of Naval 

Personnel (Attn: Pers- B66), Washington, D. C. 20370. 

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

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

He nominates ten for each vacancy. Applicants should write to the Office of 

the \'ice President, Washington, D. C. 20501. 

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

American Samoa. Residents should apply to the appropriate official. 

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

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

year. Application should be made to the Commanding Officer. 

Naval and Marine Corps Reserve. The applicant must be on active du ty or 

a member of a drilling unit, and have served in the Reserve for one year prior 

to 1 July of the year of admission. There are 85 appointments each year. 

Application should be made to the Commanding Officer. 

Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps (NROTC). There are ten appointments each year. Application should be made to the Professor of Naval 

Science. 

Honor Naval and Military Schools. Three nominations may be made annually by the headmaster of each approved honor preparatory school to 

compete for ten appointments. 

Sons of Deceased or Disabl ed Veterans. Sons of armed forces members who 

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

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

wounds, injuries, or disease, are eligible. A maximum of 40 appointees may 

be at the Academy at any one time. Applicants should write to the Bureau of 

Naval Personnel (Attn: Pers-B66), Washington, D. C. 20370. 

Sons of Medal of Honor Winners. Applications should be made to the 

Bureau of Naval Personnel (Attn: Pers-B66), Washington, D. C. 20370. 

Sample letters for req11esting nomrnations appear i11 Appendix A. Foreign 

st11rle11ts s/,011lrl refer lo Appendix B. 25 
Two Methods of Nominating 

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," or he may simply nominate a slate of 

ten competitors for the vacancy. In either case, the vacancy is filled by the 

top man on the list who is accepted for admission by the Nava.I Academy. 

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

and selecting their candidates. These special competitive examinations do not, 

by themselves, determine a candidate's scholastic qualifications for admission 

to the Academy. The Naval Academy requirements must still be met fully. 

Admission of Qualified Alternates 

and Competitors 

Each year the Naval Academy admits several hundred qualified a.ltemates 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. 

Re-admjssion of Former Midshipmen 

Approval of the Academic Board is required for the re-admission of former 

midshipmen. Requests should be addressed to the Dean of Admissions. 

Medical and Physical Aptitude Examinations 

Candidates must pass a medica.l examination and a physica.l aptitude test. 

Healthy young men with normal vision usually experience little difficulty in 

passing the examinations. The visual requirement is 20/20 each eye, uncorrected. Exceptional candidates with vision no worse than 20/100 in each 

eye, correctable to 20/20, will be considered by the Naval Academy for 

waiver. 

A complete preliminary examination of a candidate by private physician 

2b and dentist to spot obvious disqualifying defects is recommended. Medical 
requirements are set forth in Appendix C to serve as a guide to private physicians and dentists. The Qualifying Medical Examination and Physical Aptitude Test must be taken at one of the military examining centers listed in 

Appendix D. 

Notification of Admission 

Candidates are notified of their acceptances for admission on a continuing 

basis from 15 January to 15 May. The new class is admitted late in June. 

I I 

Procedures on Admissions Day, Entrance Deposit, 

Oath of Office, Pay 

Candidates For whom there are vacancies, who have subscribed to the Engagement lo Serve, and who have met the scholastic, moral, and physical requirements, will receive appointments as midshipmen and be admitted to the Naval 

Academy. 

Each candidate For midshipman will be required to take the following oath 

of office upon entrance: 

"/, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. , having been appointed a midshipnum in tire U111ted Stales Navy, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will 

support and defend tire Constit11tio11 of the United States against nil enemies, 

foreign 1111d do111estic; that I will benr true faith nnd nlleginnce to the same; 

tlrnt I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or p11rpose 

of evasion; and tlwt I will well and fnithf111/y discharge the d11ties of tire 

office on w/1icli I nm abo11t to enter; So Help Me Cod." 27 
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 contin11ance of my service as a midshipman, 1 agree 

to and with the Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy, as 

follows· 

"First: To enter the 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 seveml req11irements and lawful commands of the officers who may be 

placed over me. 

"Second: I oblige myself, during s11ch service, to comply with and be subject 

to the Uniform Corle of Military Justice and such other laws and regulations 

as are or shall be established by the Congress of the United States or other 

competent authority. 

"Third: To submit to treatment for the prevention of smallpox, typhoid (typhoid prophylaxis), and to such other preventive meas11res as may be considered necessary by naval a11thorities." 

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 Authorizat1011 to Report issued by the Bureau of Naval 

Personnel. Living accommodations in the city of Annapolis are limited, and 

candidates are therefore urged to time their arrivals in Annapolis to coincide 

as closely as possible with the reporting time and date, keeping in mind, 

however, that transportation facilities between Washington and Annapolis 

and between Baltimore and Annapolis a re not unlimited. Those arriving in 

Annapolis a day or two prior to their reporting date may take advantage of 

berthing facilities made available at the Naval Academy at a cost of SI per 

night. Additionally, candidates may take their meals in the Midshipmen's 

Mess at the cost of a midshipman's daily ration allowance, which is quite 

nominal. 

In keeping with the policy of the Department of Defense and as directed 

by the Secretary of the Navy, candidates for appointment as midshipmen are 

required to execute a loyalty certificate. The purpose of this certificate is to aid 

in detem1ining whether the candidate's conduct or associations, past and 

present, have been such as to cast any doubt whatever upon his loyalty to 

28 the United States. 
The loyalty certificate includes a list of those agencies, groups, etc., designated by the Attorney General of the United States to be totalitarian, fascist, 

communist, or otherwise subversive, or as having adopted a policy of advocating or approving the commission of acts of force or violence to deny persons their rights under the Constitution of the United States, or to overthrow 

the government. 

The admission of conduct or association, past or present, within the purview of acts as defined in the certificate, or association with any of the groups 

or organizations designated by the Attorney General, shall preclude appointment pending investigation and determination of eligibility by the Depart-

, ment of the Navy. 

False representation, or deliberate concealment as to qualifications for appointment may result in trial by court-martial or administrative separation 

from the naval service under conditions other than honorable. 

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 pay of the midshipman is $2,316.40 a year, 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. 

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

$1,600. The deposit made at the time of entrance is supplemented by an entrance credit of $600 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 $30 from the 

midshipman's pay, beginning in October of the second year at the Naval 

Academy and continuing until the indebtedness is liquidated. Midshipmen 

who are involuntarily separated from the Naval Academy prior to repayment 

of the entrance credit, are required to turn 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 indebted- 29 
ness, parents will be given an opportunity to pay the remaining debt; failing 

this, the remainder of the debt is cancelled. Midshipmen applying for voluntary separation for their own convenience are required to repay in full the 

amount of indebtedness prior to such separation. 

Every candidate must present his Social Security card upon reporting for 

appointment. If an individual has not obtained a Social Security number as a 

result of work experience prior to entering, he should obtain one based on 

the length of expected employment as a midshipman. 

Shortly after entrance, each midshipman (except Foreign Nationals) will be 

required to complete a Statement of Personal History. Candidates should be 

prepared to furnish such information as: 

Names and locations of nil schools attended. 

Family names, dates and places of birth of parents, seroice data if parents are 

or were in armed forces; nnt11rnlization n11mbers of parents if applicable. 

Relatives in foreign co1111tries--relationship and location. 

Names and addresses of former employers. 

Names and addresses of three credit and five personal references ( credit 

references may i11c/11de those of parnnts). 

Residences d11ring past 15 years. (Dates, street addresses, and cities are 

req11ired.) 

Candidates admitted as midshipmen will be required to submit documentary 

evidence of birth to the Superintendent, U. S. Naval Academy, for transmission to the Bureau of Naval Personnel upon admission, or as soon thereafter as practicable. 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. 

Upon entrance, midshipmen will be required to obtain a regulation entrance 

outfit from the midshipmen's storekeeper. Slide rules and drawing sets are 

included in the outfit. Candidates are advised, therefore, not to purchase 

these items prior to entering the Academy. 

After being admitted to the Naval Academy, midshipmen receive travel 

and transportation allowances as prescribed in Joint Travel Regulations 

(ordinarily, mileage allowance of 6 cents per mile for authorized travel). 

30 Midshipmen will be reimbursed for the actual cost of their fares in com-
mercial 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 goverrunent 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. 

Service Obligation of Midshipmen 

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 Nava] Academy, 

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

as midshipmen terminated and will immediately resume their enlisted status. 

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

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

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

obligated service. 

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

previously acquired a military obligation, will automatically do so upon acceptance of appointment as midshipmen at the U. 5. Naval Academy. Under 

Section 651 of Title 10, U. 5. Code, any person who is enlisted, inducted, or 

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

automatically a six-year military obligation. Section IV. B. 3.f of Department 

of Defense Directive 1200.3 of 23 May 1958 includes appointees to the service 

academies among those who are subject to the six-year obligation. 

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: 31 
31 

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 in the 

U. S. Navy or U. S. Marine Corps for at least five years immediately after 

graduation. 

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

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

until the sixth anniversary. 

Policies Regarding Diseruollment 

He must al.so sign a statement that he understands that the following are the 

policies of the Navy Department regarding disenrollment from the Naval 

Academy: 

Fourth and Third Classmen will be discharged in accordance with the 

regulations of the Navy Department. 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: A Second Classman who is separated prior to 

the commencement of the Second Class academic year will be discharged in 

accordance with current regulations of the Navy Department. After the commencement of his Second Class academic year, a Second or First Classman 

who is separated prior to completing the course of instruction, except for 

physical disability, unfitness or unsuitability, will normally be transferred to 

the Naval Reserve in an enlisted status and be ordered to active duty for not 

less than two years under the provisions of Title 10, U. 5. Code 69596. Where 

separation occurs as a result of deficiencies, which are not considered willful, 

the active duty provision may be waived. 

Refusal to Accept Commission: Any First Classman who completes the 

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

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

status and ordered to active duty for four years. 

A midshipman who is separated after having entered the Naval Academy 

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

former status under the appropriate statutory provisions. Completion or 

partial completion of a prior service obligation by 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 69596. 

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

terminal dates are established for their commissions. 

Preparatory Scholarships 

The U. 5. Naval Academy Foundation, Inc., is a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization which provides an educational assistance program to enable deserving 

high school graduates to enhance their qualifications for admission to the 

Naval Academy. The Foundation is chartered for educational purposes under 

the laws of the State of Maryland. It has no official connection with the U. 5. 

Navy or with the Naval Academy. 

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 

in various parts of the nation. Parents of young men selected for this program 

are expected to contribute financially within their capabilities. The Founda- 33 
tion offers no assistance other than counseling to individual boys 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, located at Bainbridge, Maryland, 

has prepared servicemen for entry into the Naval Academy for over half a 

century. Enlisted men are enrolled at the school from September to May 

each year. The class is usually about half Regular and half Reserve. 

Applicants 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 Naval Academy Preparatory Entrance Examination. 

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, physical training, and intramural and varsity 

sports programs complete the school's schedule.

The Curriculu1n Challenge 

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

skills he will need to perform his future military duties effectively. The Naval 

Academy, however, is much more than an excellent professional training 

establishment. It is an academic institution of higher learning providing a 

broad liberal education and offering in-depth study in 25 major programs. 

Its curriculum is demanding, but it contains many choices, thus challenging 

each individual 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. The 

Naval Academy therefore does not seek to give the same all-inclusive ed1 ucational 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 a wide range of general 

1 

and special knowledge and capabilities of great value to the modern Navy. 

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

minimum course requirements in social sciences and humanities, mathematics, 

and science. To ensure depth, he completes a major sequence, of his own 

choosing, from a variety of fields. 37 
Choosing a Major 

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

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

languages. Majors in the scientific-technical fields entail more courses, at 

higher levels, in mathematics, science, and engineering, for example, than do 

non-technical majors. The scientific-technical programs require no foreign 

language. On the other hand, programs in social sciences, general management, international studies, and literature 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. For these young men, mapping 

a four-year program is simply a question of choosing the elective courses 

that will satisfy general distribution requirements and fill out their major 

sequence. 

A midshipman, however, may not be 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 non-technical 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, final selection of a major may be delayed until thirdclass year, or, in some cases, until a later date. In fact, a midshipman may 

change his ma1or as late as his second-class year, provided he can still meet, 

on time, all requirements for graduation, including those of his proposed new 

major. 
Plebe Year: Individual Study Programs 

The study requirements of plebe year are broad enough to give the undecided 

midshipman a good basis for choosing his major by the end of that year. 

They include, furthermore, the naval science courses which start his professional development. The normal academic load for a plebe consists of five 

courses each semester. Three of these are in required subjects, as follows: 

Mathematics. A year of calculus provides part of the foundation for furtl,er 

study in engi11eering, the sciences, economics, and professional courses in 

naval electricity and electronics. 

Composition and Literature. This is a general requirement designed to 

develop tlie skills in I/rinking, reading, and writing wlric/1 are primary tools 

for furtlrer education a11d for professional development. 

Fundamentals of Naval Science (first semester) and Fundamentals of Weapons 

and Engineering (second semester). These courses equip the midshipman 

with knowledge and skills for prachcal shipboard ,~se d11ring his youngster 

cruise, t/1e most important event of third-class summer. They also serve as 

preparation for the professional co11rses and training which come d,~ring the 

next three years. 

To fill out his five-course schedule, the midshipman chooses two courses from 

the following fields: 

Modern Languages. He sho11ld consider taking a language if lie is interested 

i11 a 11011-tt?clmical major, since la11guage st11dy is required with s11ch n1111ors. 

Science Elective. All midshipmen must eventually complete four courses in 

science, inc/11ding two in physics. If a midshipman wishes to p11rsue a tech11ical major, either in the plrysical sciences or in operations analysis or engineering, for example, ii is best for him to begin science co11rses during his 

first semester. 

Humanities/ Social Sciences Electives. During their four years at the Academy all midshipmen must take a mi11im11m of five elective courses i11 this 

area. In several ma1or programs, these electives are normally begun during 

plebe year. 

Computer Science. Each midshipman must take one course in computer 

science, and most will do so in 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. 39 
Counseling and Guidance 

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

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

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

capabilities. If he is an average student, for example, he will likely take sequential courses as they are laid out for normal progress in a given major 

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

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

requirements more rapidly and gain time for more elective courses. Some 

midshipmen may even complete second majors. 

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

midshipman has ample opportunities for consultation with faculty members. 

During his first few weeks at the Naval Academy he receives several hours 

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

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

should begin his studies. His 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. 

If a midshipman's interests change, however, he will be reassigned to an 

adviser in another department. In addition to offering guidance in the selection of a major, individual 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. 

Academic Programs 

The Naval Academy offers 25 major programs, as listed below, each leading 

to the Bachelor of Science degree. Completion of one of these majors is a 

requirement for graduation. 

Aerospace Engineering; Marine Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; 

Naval Architecture; Ocean Engineering; Electrical Engineering; Systems 

Engineering (Weapons); Mathematics; Applied Science; Physics; Chemistry; 

Computer Science; Analytical Management; General Management; Oceanography; Operations Analysis; Economics; Foreign Affairs; History; Political 

Science; Literature; European Studies: French, German, or Italian; Far Eastern 

Studies: Chinese; Latin American Studies: Spanish or Portuguese; Soviet 

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

Completion of an engineering major at the Academy leads to a designated 

engineering degree. 

Of particular interest to midshipmen who are oriented towards social scinces and humanities are the interdisciplinary major programs in area-language 

studies-European, Latin American, Soviet, and Far Eastern. These majors 

combine political and historical investigation of an important geographic area 

with study of the related language, literature, and culture. In the fields of 

European and Latin American studies, exchange officers from the navies of 

France, Germany, Italy, Brazil, and Mexico teach some of the courses and 

provide firsthand links between the midshipman and his special area of 

interest 

Special Programs 

Advanced Placement. Prior to entering the Naval Academy many midshipmen have already taken courses equivalent to those offered or required 

here. Credit may be granted for this work through validation, a procedure 

based on an examination given by the appropriate Academy department, 

consideration of transcripts, and results of College Entrance Examination 

, Board Advanced Placement Tests, if available. Validators may proceed immediately to more advanced work in the subject concerned. About two-thirds 

of the members of each plebe class normally validate at least one course. 

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

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

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

number of outstanding midshipmen who have completed requisite graduatelevel studies at the Naval Academy may be selected to continue their studies 

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

within nine to twelve months in accelerated programs arranged at certain 

civilian universities, or at the Naval Postgraduate School at Monterey, Cali- 41 
-1:?. 

fornia. Other immediate graduate study opportunities for Naval Academy 

graduates include Churchill, Fulbright, Guggenheim, National Science Foundation, and Rhodes Scholarships, and Daedalian and Catholic University 

Fellowships. 

Graduation and Degree Requirements 

The Bachelor of Science Degree. In order to satisfy the academic requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree, a midshipman must: 

(1) Complete the required professional courses, 

(2) Complete the courses specified by the department in which he is majoring, 

(3) Satisfy the study distribution requirements, 

(4) Complete or validate 140 semester hours of acceptable academic credit, 

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

average. 

To qualify for graduation, furthermore, a midshipman must meet required 

military-professional performance standards in professional studies, aptitude 

for the service, conduct, and physical education. The Bachelor of Science 

degree is conferred by the Superintendent, upon recommendation of the Commandant and the Academic Dean, as approved by the Academic Board. 
Professional Course Requirements 

A series of professional courses is required for the Bachelor of Science degree. 

In add1t1on to providing the professional background required of an officer 

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

contribute to more effective training of a midshipman during his summer 

training with the Fleet. 

The following professional courses must be completed by all midshipmen: 

NS101, NN201, NN202, NS300, NS302, NU02, NL401, EWI02, and 

[W301. Those midshipmen not majoring in one of the engineering disciplines 

must complete the following engineering and weapons courses: EN200, 

EN201, EE311, EE312, and ES400. 

Distribution Requirements 

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

further study in selected majors, midshipmen must complete courses, through 

validation or study at the Academy, meeting distribution requirements specified below. 

Humanities-Social Sciences 

Composition and Literature I and II* / History of Seapower/ Fifteen semester 

hours distributed among at least three of the following fields (with not more 

than six semester hours in any one field): Political Science, Economics, Foreign 

Affairs, History, and Literature. A midshipman is free to take further elective 

work in any of these fields after meeting the basic distribution requirements. 

Mathematics 

Calculus I and Il"'/Three additional semester hours, elected/ Additional mathematics courses if required in the midshipman's chosen major. 

Science 

Physics I and II"' /Six to eight additional hours (two courses) elected in the 

Science Department. 

• Compo-.ition ,md lilcr,1ture I and II, C.1lculu~ 1 and 11, and Physics I and II are offered at different 

levels of concentr.1lion. E.ich midshipman is cncouragf!d to take "' level commensurate with his 

co1p,1bilitico; and hi!i major 43 
Modern Languages 

Ma1ors in Political Science, Economics, History, Literature, Foreign Affairs, 

and General Management require six semesters {18 semester hours) of one 

of seven languages offered: Chinese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, 

Russian, and Spanish. Majors in European Studies, Far Eastern Studies, Latin 

American Studies, and Soviet Studies have an over-all language requirement 

of 24 semester hours. 

Computer Science 

CS201 Computer Science. This course provides a basic education in the use 

of computers which is of value in various courses throughout the four-year 

curriculum. The course should be completed before the beginning of Second 

Class Year 

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 opportunity to do additional advanced work, pursue 

independent study and research, complete the requirements of two majors, or 

study other subjects for self-improvement or 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 16 weeks of 

instruction and one week of examinations. The normal academic routine provides for 5-1 2 days of classroom, laboratory, and study penods per week. 

Small classes, averaging 20 midshipmen per class, provide ample opportunity 

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

Grading 

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

(A denoting excellence, F, failing), which are in turn assigned a numerical 

Quality Point Equivalent (QPE) of 4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0, and 0.0 respectively. 

Grades are averaged, using a weighted semester hour system called a 

4 l Quality Point Rating (QPR). The QPR is computed by multiplying the QPE 
corresponding to the letter grade received in each course by the semester 

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

total number of semester hours represented by all the courses taken. A semester QPR (SQPR) 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 

placed on probation for the semester following any two consecutive semesters 

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

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

midshipmen whose mid-semester academic records are adjudged 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 one or more required courses, failure to improve sufficiently 

during a probationary semester, failure to achieve a semester QPR of at least 

1.5 for any given semester, and failure to fulfill probationary conditions prescribed by the Academic Board. 

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

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

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

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

be below a "C." Additional liberty is granted lo midshipmen on the Superintendent's List. 

The Dean's List honors midshipmen with a minimum semester QPR of 

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

professional studies, aptitude, conduct, and physical education. Individuals 

who achieve this level of excellence are called Star Men and proudly wear a 

gold star on the lapels of their uniforms. They also enjoy additional liberty.

Majors Program 

Aerospace Engineering Major 

Aerospace En&ineering is concerned with the design and analysis of airplanes, missiles, 

and space vehicles. An understanding of the aerodynamics of flight at hypersonic and orbital 

speeds, structural dynamics, space propulsion, and space vehicle dynamics requires an 

understanding of basic physical phenomena and engineering practices. 

The curriculum provides a broad background in the aerospace sciences. Throughout the 

program extensive use is made of aeronautical laboratory facilities, including a variety 

of wind tunnels, propulsion devices, structural analysis and testing rigs, and a flight 

simulator, a< well as interdisciplinary laboratory facilities shared with Mechanical Engi• 

neering. Advanced laboratory features include automated data acquisition terminals, 

programmable structures loading machinery, and computer facilities for data processing. 

The program serves as a foundation for more advanced work at the Naval Academy 

and for subsequent graduate work for those midshipmen interested m specializing in 

aeronautical engineering A Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering is awarded.

Chemistry Major 

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 of chemistry has ample opportunity lo experiment and observe as he 

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

chromatographs, mass spectrometer, x-ray diffraction, and nuclear magnetic resonance 

spectrometers. 

Any naval officer will profit from a good knowledge of chemistry. A background in the 

fundamental principles of chemistry and modern experimental techniques is highly 

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

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

The major in Marine Engineering provides midshipmen with a broad engineering back• 

ground valuable in fields where the principles of energy conversion apply. The major is 

interdisciplinary in that it draws from many areas, such as mathemaUcs, physics, and the 

engineering sciences. Emphasis is placed on marine propulsion systems desig·n and analysis 

for both nuclear and fossil fuel plants. Laboratory facilities in both marine engineering and 

reactor physics provide an opportunity for individual research projects and the development 

of experimental techniques. Computers and advanced data acquisition systems are used in 

the design areas. A Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering is awarded.

Naval Architecture Major 

Naval architecture encompasses the comprehensive analysis and design of vehicles and 

structures that operate under, on, or just above the surface of the sea. A wide range of 

scientific, engineering, and technological skills is required by the naval architect. The 

curriculum in naval architecture covers the static and dynamic analyses of ships, both 

theoretically and experimentally, as well as basic design techniques. Four required courses 

in naval ilrchitcctural analysis and two elective courses culminate in a final design course 

which employs this background in the creation of a new marine vehicle or system. Cre -

ativity and individuality are encouraged through the use of modem, well equipped laboratories featuring state-of-the-art data acquisition systems. The use of the computer, both 

for numerical analysis and for interactive design applications, is encouraged. A Bachelor 

of Science in Naval Architecture is awarded.

Ocean Engineering Major 

Ocean engineering is an interdisciplinary field involving the application of engineering 

principles to engineering systems in the ocean environment. Whereas ocean science is 

primarily concerned with fundamental knowledge, the ocean engineer is oriented toward 

applications, hardware, and operational techniques. Fundamentals of mathematics, physics, 

mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and oceanography are presented, followed 

by an introduction to areas of ocean teehnology, including ocean structures,. undersea 

vehicles, underwater sound, wave mechanics, and life-support systems. 

Laboratory experiments and demonstrations are conducted in an 85-foot towing tank 

equipped with a pneumatic wave-maker and instrumented with sophisticated sensors and 

on-line data acquisition and analysis equipment. 1\lidshipmen find it necessary to use the 

Naval Academy's computer systems to solve a number of assigned problems. A Bachelor 

of Science in Ocean Engineering is awarded.

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 the origin, propagation, and reception of waves of all kinds; field 

concepts, theory of relativity, basic theory of quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics. All are studied with the object of providing an open-minded and creative approach 

to the 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.

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 classroom and laboratory courses 

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. 

The Executive, Physical Education, and Naval Science Departments offer 

courses in the professional training program as follows:

Varsity and lntra1nural 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 wiU 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." 

The Army-Navy football game, which annually attracts 102,000 to Philadelphia's Kennedy Stadium and plays in 17 million homes via television, 

highlights the Academy's intercollegiate athletic program, a program which 

includes 21 varsity sports and competition with top colleges for national 

and Eastern collegiate titles. 

America's first man in space, Navy Captain Alan B. Shepard, pulled an oar 

for the Navy crew as a midshipman. World War II naval hero Admiral William F. (Bull) Halsey earned his varsity letter in football. Polar explorer 

Admiral Richard E. Byrd was captain of the gymnastic team. 

Army is Navy's traditional rival, meeting the midshipmen in 18 varsity 

contests each year. Other teams faced include Notre Dame and Penn State in 109 
football, Columbia and New York University in fencing, Lehigh in wrestling, 

Johns Hopkins and Maryland in lacrosse, Harvard and Penn in squash, and 

Yale in swimming. 

Naval Academy intercollegiate sports are as follows: 

Fn/1 Winter Spring 

Football Basketball Baseball 

Soccer Fencing Tennis 

Cross Country Rifle Golf 

Sailing Pistol Lacrosse 

Lightweight Football Squash Track 

Swimming Sailing 

Gymnastics Heavyweight Crew 

Track Lightweight Crew 

Wrestling 

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 Gymnastics Swimming 

Boxing Handball Tennis 

Crew Lacrosse Touch Football 

Cross Country Rugby Track 

Fencing Soccer Volleyball 

Field Ball Softball Water Polo 

Football Squash Weightlifting 

Wrestling 

Where does all this competition take place? The physical facilities at Annapolis include more than 100 acres of lighted playing fields; the NavyMarine Corps Memorial Stadium seating 28,000 spectators; and the Field 

House, surfaced completely with Tartan. In the Field House are a 220-yard 

track, tennis courts, squash courts, a weight room, a multi-purpose gymnasium, and the varsity basketball court. There is also a regulation size base110 ball infield and a batting cage. 
~o 

A challenging 6,217-yard golf course, a 5,000-seat baseball park, numerous 

outdoor tennis courts, and two indoor swimming pools are also available. 

The Naval Academy's intercollegiate sports program is administered by the 

Naval Academy Athletic Association, a nonprofit organization with offices in 

Annapolis. The Association arranges varsity schedules and provides coaching

Varsity & Intramural Sports 


Extracurricular Activities 

Life at the Academy offers midshipmen a wide-ranging choice of over 65 

different extracurricular activities. Weekend dances and other social activities 

head the popularity list for many. Musically, there are the Glee Club, the 

Antiphonal Choir, the Protestant and Catholic Chapel Choirs, the Drum and 

Bugle Corps, the Concert Band, five separate combos which provide a lively 

variety of music for informal dances and other events, and the NA- 10-the 

ever-popular dance band of the Brigade of Midshipmen. 

Members of the Brigade publish the Lucky Bng, the yearbook for each 

class; the Trident magazine, a literary and professional publication; the Log, 

a less serious and more typical campus humor magazine; the Trident Cnlendnr 

booklet, embellished by photographs and cartoons; and Reef Points, a pocketsize guide to Academy and Navy organization, lore, and customs for the 

new plebes. 

Dramatic activities include the Masqueraders and the Musical Clubs Show 

and their supporting groups: the Stage, Property and Make-up, and Juice 

(electrical) Gangs. Other interests find expression through such organizations 

as the Photographic Club, the Amateur Radio Club, the Scuba Club, the Art 

and Printing Club, the Brigade Activities Committee, the Public Relations 

Committee, Radio Station WRNY, and the Gun Club. 

Academic and professionally oriented activities include the Foreign Relations Club, the Language Clubs, the Debaters, student chapters of the 

American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the Marine Technology 115 
Society, and the Physics Honor Society. And there are the Academy's professionally oriented and highly popular sailing and YP Squadron programs. 

Sailing 

Sailing at the Academy has a serious professional purpose. lt is also fun. 

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. 

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, as well as 

some of the best known ocean racers. The fleet ranges from the 73-foot 

aluminum ketch, Jubilee Ill, through the SO-foot yawls, Annie D and Gypsy, 

to the 12-foot Interclub dinghies. Recently, four new standouts have been 

added to the ocean racing fleet: Jubilee //1; Severn Stnr (formerly the Ondine, 

winner of many top distance races); the renowned yawl, Marndea; and the 

53-foot sloop, Rnge. Finns and Flying Dutchmen provide an opportunity for 

Olympic-type competition. 

The Naval Science Department conducts basic training in sail during plebe 

summer in the Academy's fleet of thirty 28-foot knockabouts and twelve 44-

foot Luders yawls. After plebe summer all sailing is voluntary. 

Twenty-six Skipjacks and five 30-foot Shields sloops are available to members of the Varsity Sailing Team, which races in intercollegiate competition 

throughout the United States. Other races during the academic year include 

open competition in the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association on board 

the Shields sloops, luders yawls, and the larger yachts. 

The Academy sponsors numerous intercollegiate and Chesapeake Bay 

regattas. Both the McMillan Cup and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Re116 gattas are hosted by the Academy. During the summer, the larger yachts are 
sailed in the open sea in such races as the Transatlantic, the Bermuda, and 

the Annapolis-Newport ocean 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 beyond the primary stage is administered by the Naval 

Academy Sailing Squadron, an organization of officers, civilian faculty members, and other devotees of sailing. Besides being highly popular, Squadronarranged weekend sailing trips give midshipmen a chance to carry the spirit 

of the Navy to nearbv ports. 

The YP Squadron 

The Naval Academy YP Squadron is organized for midshipmen who desire 

more extensive training aAoat. This voluntary training supplements the curriculum at the Academy and summer training with the Fleet. The Squadron 

consists of six Yard Patrol craft, one being assigned to each battalion. 

The organization and practices of the YP Squadron are very similar to 

those of Fleet destroyer squadrons on duty around the world. The midshipmen officers are selected for their ability to fulfiU 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 En&ineering 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 underw .. y on 

Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons. In addition to weekday training 

sessions, weekend cruises are conducted to Washington, Norfolk, Philadelphia, and various Chesapeake Bay ports. 

Competition between YPs for the Battle Efficiency Pennant is keen. The 

crew adjudged most proficient over-all in tactics, deck seamanship, piloting, 

communications, and engineering is declared the winner. 117 

The Na val Profession 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Navy or the finest Marine Corps in the world. 

First Duty 

A graduate's first career opportunity comes in his choice of duty following 

graduation. The priority assigned his individual prderence 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. 119 
Whatever his initial operational duty, he will usually find that his responsibilities are greater than those of his contemporaries in civilian life. Most 

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

thus, headed ultimately for command at sea. While many go initially to sea 

in a combatant-type surface ship-i.e., aircraft carrier, cruiser, destroyer, or 

amphibious ship-or into the Marine Corps, others go immediately into 

aviation, submarine, or nuclear power training, and some enter graduate 

programs leading to advanced degrees. 

A small number are commissioned on graduation in the Civil Engineer 

Corps, or as Engineering Duty Officers. The civil engineer designees, after a 

short tour in a Public Works or Seabee outfit, proceed to graduate studies at 

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

several months' duration prior to their first operating assignments. The Engineering Duty Officers (specialists in such fields as ship and aircraft design, 

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

serve on board ship before returning to graduate study. Graduates commissioned as second lieutenants in the Marine Corps complete basic training 

before joining regular Marine units or beginning 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 initial tours 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 

generally exercised during assignments ashore. These sub-specialties include 

such varied fields as naval intelligence, oceanography, communications, meteorology, nuclear engineering, aeronautical engineering, management, international relations, and personnel administration. Officers aspiring to command 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 naval or Marine Corps 

120 officer presents many faces to the world: professional sailor, Marine, 
aviator, engineer, scientist, administrator, diplomat, or educator. His is 

not Just a job, but a way of life-a career dedicated to the service of the 

United States and its people, carrying with it high professional prestige and 

opportunities for broad experience, a career which rewards the industrious, 

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

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

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

Soldiers of 

the SeaUnited States 

Mt:rrincs 

or Marine Corps of the United States. 121 
122 
Officer Education and Training 

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

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

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

prepare himself for assignments of greater responsibility and professional 

attainment by acquiring practical experience ashore and aAoat and through 

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

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

career planning and execution. 

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

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

programs, al 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, gunnery, 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. The variety of fields available include mathematics, physics, general science, nuclear and aeronautical engineering, oceanography, management, political science, international relations, naval intelligence, and others. For the best-qualified, the way is open to a doctorate. 

Courses are conducted at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California; the Naval Intelligence School, Washington, D. C.; the Test Pilot 

School, Patuxent River, Maryland; and at various civilian institutions such as 

Carnegie Institute of Technology, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, M.I.T., 

Princeton, Stanford, and Tulane. 

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 E is a brief summary of 

graduate study opportunities offered by the Navy and Marine Corps. 123 

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 Rag 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 

1s somewhat like that of a dean of students, the Academic Dean, and an 

administrative staff. The Superintendent, the Commandant, the Academic 

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

which makes 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 is an integrated group of officers and civilians in approximately equal numbers. The officers, rotated at intervals of 

about three years, provide a continuing input of new ideas and experience 

from the Fleet. The civilians provide a core of professional scholarship and 

teaching experience, as well as continuity to the educational program. 125 
THE BOARD OF VISITORS 

A Board of Visitors to the Academy, appointed annually, consists of the 

Chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U.S. Senate, or his 

designee; three other members of the Senate designated by the Vice President 

of the United States or the President pro tempore of the Senate, two of whom 

are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate; the Chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U. 5. House of Representatives, or his designee; four other members of the House of Representatives, 

two of whom are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the House 

of Representatives; and six persons designated by the President of the United 

States. 

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

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

instruction, physical 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.

Academic Divisions 

Commencing with the 1970- 71 Academic Year, the major areas under the 

Academic Dean will be 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. Each division will be further subdivided, by discipline, into departments, normally chaired by a civilian member of the 

faculty

Prizes and Awards, Museum, 

Alumni Association, and Naval Institute 

Each June Week more than 80 prizes and awards, provided by individuals 

and a wide variety of organizations, are presented to deserving midshipmen 

in recognition of their noteworthy accomplishments in such areas as academics, leadership, professional studies, debate, public speaking, sailing, 

marksmanship, and athletics. 

The Museum 

The Naval Academy Museum serves as an inspiration to the men of the 

Brigade by providing tangible evidence of some of the most famous and 

exciting episodes in our nation's history. Its collection of more than 50,000 

individual items also provides an important reference source for the teaching 

of naval history. 

While most of the Museum's valuable collections are located within the 

Museum, other items of exceptional interest and value are located in the 

Chapel, Bancroft Hall, the Library, and in other buildings throughout the 

Academy. The Museum contains some of the finest ship models in the world, 

including many from the famous Rogers Collection; a superb collection of 

thirteen maritime paintings by Edward Moran; perhaps the largest collection 

in the world of items relating to the life and work of John Paul Jones; the 

table from the mess deck of the battleship Missouri on which was signed the 

instrument of surrender ending World War II; and thousands of other sig- 151 
nificant items relating to the history of the Navy, the Marine Corps, and the 

Naval Academy. In addition, the. Museum has valuable collections of manuscripts and extensive photographic files. 

Museum items in Bancroft Hall include the flag hoisted by Commodore 

Oliver Hazard Perry at the Battle of Lake Erie on which were emblazoned the 

immortal words of the dying James Lawrence, "Don't Give Up The Ship!", 

the original marble bust of John Paul Jones by Jean Antoine Houdon, and 

fine portraits of other distinguished naval officers. In the Chapel crypt is found 

John Paul Jones's commission as a captain, signed by John Hancock, his 

membership certificate in the Society of the Cincinnati, signed by George 

\"/ashington; and the dress sword presented to him by King Louis X\'I of 

France. The library contains a number of ship models from the Rogers Collection and numerous historic flags, including the only known captured British 

Royal Standard 

The U. 5. Naval Academy Alumni Association 

The U. 5. Naval Academy Alumni Association, Inc., is a private organization 

whose mission is to sen·c and support the United States, the naval service, 

and the Naval Academy by furthering the high standards of the Naval Academy b, seeking out, informing, encouraging, and assisting qualified young 

men to enter the \!aval Academy and to pursue careers in the regular Navy 

and Marine Corps and by initiating and sponsoring activities which perpetuate the history, traditions, and growth of the Naval Academy and which

All former midshipmen of the Naval Academy are eligible for membership 

in the Association-graduates, non-graduates, active dutv officers, retired 

officers, and alumni who are no longer affiliated with the Navy. 

Alumni House (Ogle Hall of pre-Revolutionary Annapolis fame) is the 

Association's handsome national headquarters. Files and records are maintained on all ex-plebes dating from the establishment of the present Naval 

Academy in 18-15 through the classes now enrolled. The many functions of 

the Association include ,mnual publication of the Register of Al11m11i, publication of 5/iipmate, the alumni monthly magazine; support of class and 

chapter organizations; and service to and support of many activities at the 

152 Academy throughout the year 
The United States Naval Institute 

Headquartered in Annapolis, the U. 5. Naval Institute is the professional 

society of the seagoing services. It is a private, nonprofit association of more 

than 60,000 members formed in 1873 for "the advancement of professional 

literary, and scientific knowledge in the Navy." The membership includes 

officers and enlisted personnel from all branches of the military services, 

distinguished officers of foreign navies, and U. 5. and foreign citizens interested in events and developments throughout the worldwide maritime community. Members pay annual dues and receive the Institute's monthly professional journal, the U. 5. Naval Institute Proceedings, and are entitled 

lo purchase Naval Institute books and also those of other publishers at reduced rates. 

The Institute's books include texts on professional naval subjects, as well

APPENDIX B 

Foreign Students 

REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES. On behalf of the President of the United States, 

the Secretary of the Navy may authorize up to four Filipinos at any one time to 

receive instruction at the Naval Academy. Applications for these appointments must 

be addressed through diplomatic channels. The appointments are competitive. 

AMERICAN REPUBLICS OTHER THAN THE UNITED ST A TES. Upon designation 

by the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Navy may authorize up 

to 20 persons at any one lime from Latin American nations to receive instruction 

at the U. 5. Naval Academy. Not more than three persons from any one country 

may receive instruction at !he same time. Applications for these appointments must 

be addressed through appropriate diplomatic channels. The appointments are 

competitive. Nominations must reach the State Department in Washington, D. C., 

by 1 January 1971. 

Foreign nationals receiving instruction at the Naval Academy receive the same 

pay, allowances, and emoluments as other midshipmen; are paid from the same 

appropriations; and except for such modifications as may be determined by the 

Secretary of the Navy, are subject to the same rules and regulations governing admission, attendance, discipline, resignation, discharge, dismissal, and graduation, as 

midshipmen at the Naval Academy appointed from the United States. Foreign 

students are not entitled to appointment to any office or position in the U. 5. Navy 

by reason of their graduation from the Naval Academy. The entrance deposit in 

the amount of $300 is required of all foreign students. 

Each foreign candidate must: 

D Be an unmarried, bona fide male citizen of the nominating country and, unless 

otherwise approved by the Secretary of the Navy, be not less than 17 and not yet 

22 years of age on 1 July of the calendar year in which he enters the Naval Academy. 

C Possess medical qualifications as specified in Appendix C of this catalog. All 

candidates must undergo a medical examination and a physical aptitude examination 

by a board of medical examiners designated by the Chief of Naval Personnel. Qualifying Medical and Physical Aptitude examinations are conducted by the Permanent 

Medical Examining Board at the U. 5. Naval Academy at the time of reporting for 

admission. Foreign candidates are therefore urged to undergo careful preliminary 

156 examination by qualified medical personnel who are conversant with the physical 
requirements set forth in Appendix C 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 Dean of Admissions, U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, 

Maryland, 21402, U.S.A. 

n Be proficient m reading, writing, and speaking idiomatic English. Candidates 

may meet scholastic entrance requirements by submitting certificates from schools 

attended. They must also take the College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic 

Aptitude Test and the Achievement Tests in English Composition and Mathematics, 

Level I or Level II. 

Foreign candidates are given the same examination in English compos1t1on as 

other candidates, but due considerahon is accorded to them in evaluating test results. 

Each candidate must submit a certificate from his government attesting that he is 

conversant with the literature of his native country and that he has completed a 

course in the literature of his native language equivalent in general to two years of 

secondary school work in literature in the United States. In lieu of this certification, 

a candidate may produce evidence of having acquired the units of literature from 

accredited schools of the United States. 

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 in order 

that they may qualify for entrance by the end of March and enter the Naval Academy in late June. 

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 midshipman at the United States 

Naval Academy, do solemnly swear to comply with all 

regulations for the policy 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 military 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. 157 
Notification will be given to the governments concerned that students found by 

proper authonty to be unsatisfactory in 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 C 

Special Medical Examination Considerations 

Tl1e following special medical examinaHon considerations are set forth in order 

that candidates, prospective candidates, and their private physicians and denHsts 

may know the basic medical requirements for entrance lo 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 tltem corrected 

prior to taking tlte Qi,a/ifying Medical Examination.

scholastic :tnd leadership achievements 

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

unusual cases. Obesity is disqualifying. 

EYES AND VISION. A cycloplegic refraction is required of all candidates. Unaided 

visual acuity of 20/20 in each eye is a basic requirement. However, waivers may be 

158 granted to a limited number of candidates with exceptional scholastic and leadership 
achievements whose vision is not worse than 20/100 in either eye. In all cases, the 

visual acuity must correct to 20.'20 in each eye with prescription lenses. 

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 72 hours prior to reporting for medical examination. Normal color 

perception is required 

HEART AND VASCULAR SYSTEM: An electrocardiogram is required of all candid,1tes. The following conditions may be causes for re1ection, and they require complete medical evalu,1bon: all organic valvular diseases of the heart, including those 

improved by surgerv; EKG evidence of variations from normal heart beat; and hypertension evidence 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:

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

from acute or chronic disease. 

NARES: Septal deviation, hypertrophic rhinitis, or other conditions which result in 

50 per cent or more obstruction of either airway, or which interfere with drainage 

of a sinus on either side, are causes for rejection. 

SKIN· Chronic skin diseases such as severe acne or eczema or unsightly congenital 

markings are cause for disqualification. Pilonidal sinus, if evidenced by presence of 

mass or discharging sinus, is cause for rejection. 

SEROLOGJC TESTS, A serologic test for syphilis is required on all candidates. An 

authentic history of syphilis of any type is cause for rejection without further 

laboratory procedure 159 
GENITOURINARY SYSTEM Persistent or recurrent aJbuminuria of any type or the 

persistence of casts in the urine will be cause for rejection. Other causes for rejection· marked ph1mosis or epispadias; pronounced hypospadias; atrophy, deformity, 

or maldevelopment of both testicles; or an undescended testicle of any degree. Bed 

wetting persisting into late childhood or early adolescence 1s cause for rejection. 

NEUROLOGICAL EXAMINATION: Evidence of degenerative disorders or conditions 

such as established migraine and persistent motion sickness are causes for re1ection 

ASTHMA. Asthma or recurrent asthmatic bronchitis by diagnosis or history since 

the age of 12 are causes for rejection. 

ABDOMINAL WALL EXA:-..11NATION. Hernia of any type is disqualifying until 

corrected; history of operation for hernia within past 60 days is disqualifying. 

Other abnormal diseases and conditions which are not acceptable include stomach 

or small bowel ulcer or history of same, acute or chronic gall bladder disease, and 

removal of spleen for reason other than trauma. 

MISCELLANEOUS MEDICAL HNDINGS THAT ARE DISQUALIFYING: Acute communicable diseases; anemia; abnormal bleeding states; diabetes mell1tus or history 

of diabetes ,n both parents persistent sugar in urine regardless of cause ununiled 

fractures; history of surgery to a ma1or joint within past six months, history or 

derangement of knee joint not corrected by surgery, or evidence of instability subsequent to surgery; total loss of either thumb, tuberculosis, active ,n past five years; 

hay fever, if severe; nasal polyps, personality disorders; symptomatic immaturity 

disorders such as stammering or stuttering; arthritis; and herniated nucleus pulposus 

or history of operation for this condition. 

DENTAL STANDARDS: A candidate for appointment must have a minimum of 16 

natural permanent teeth, of which a minimum of eight must be in each arch. All 

missing teeth causing unsightly spaces or significantly reduced masticatory or incisal 

efficiency must be replaced by well-designed bridges or partial dentures which are 

in good condition. Except for minor or questionable carious areas, all required 

dental treatment will be temporarily disqualifying. Each such applicant will be considered on an individual basis by the Permanent Board of Medical Examiners at 

the Academy. Disqualifying defects are as follows. 

lack of satisfactory incisol or maslkatory function. 

Less than eight natural permanent teeth in each arch. 

Edentulous spaces which are unsightly or which significantly reduce masticatory function. 

Carious teeth, except minor or questionable carious areas. 

Infections or chronic diseases of the soft tissue of the ora1 cavity. 

Marked malocclusion resulting in severe dentofacial deformity. 

Unsatisfactory restorations, bridges, or dentures. 

160 Severe or extensive apical or periodontal infection. 
Perforations from the oral cavity into the nasal cavity or maxillary sinus. 

Tumors or cysts of the oral tissues which require treatment or may require treatment in

PHYSICAL APTITUDE EXA:Vll"IATION The Qualifying Medical Examination include a separate Phys,cal Aptitude Examination. The Physical Aptitude Examination 

varies from serv,ce to service and may vary from year to year, but basically, for all 

services, 1t includes sit-ups, pull-ups, push-ups, arm-hang, squat-walk, and related 

exercises. Examinations conducted by the other services are accepted by the Navy. 

Candidates reporting for medical examination should take sun glasses, for use after
