Mission 

To prepnre midshipmen 

111ornlly, mentn/ly, nnd physically 

to be professiollal officers 

in the naval service. 

The Choice is Yours! 

0 ne of our most successful midshipmen, who could have gone to 

nearly any school in the country, told us that he chose the 

Naval Academy because it "offered the most options." He read 

our catalog, as you are doing, and realized that he could major in a 

subject that interested him, play on any one of 21 varsity athletic teams 

against the best competition in the country, and receive a fine education 

and a commission in either the Navy or the Marine Corps. He could 

then serve an the air, on the sea, on the ground, or under the sea. He could 

become a skilled naval officer or marine and at the same time prepare 

himself, through further education and training, for professional service 

assignments ashore The Naval Academy meant maximizing his choices 

as he went along with new and exciting options opening before 

him all the way. 

This opportunity can be yours if you have had a good secondary school 

education, have done well in the opportunities open to you both in and out 

of school, are physically active, and seek challenge. If you are a woman, 

any duty an the Navy or Marine Corps available to men is available to 

you under current statutes, with the exception of those duties that might 

place you an a combat situation. 

Leadership, scholarship, fellowship; this is the Naval Academy ls it for you?

I

£ you have picked up this catalog and thumbed through 1t this far, presumably you have at least some interest in the Naval Academy. Perhaps it 

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

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

appointment to the Academy. In any case, it ,s reasonable that you should 

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

schools cannot? What will the Naval Academy expect of me? What will l 

get out of it in the long run? In short, why should I consider the Naval 

Academy in making my plans for the years ahead? The paragraphs below are 

an attempt to provide brief, obiective answers to those questions. 

Service to Country 

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

Academy is to prepare young men and women to become professional line 

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

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

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

due time. It is considered necessary, however, that you arrive here free of 

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

primary interest lies in such fields as law, edu(ation, nursing, the ministry, 

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

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

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

You should be prepared to undertake the challenges of the four-year curriculum, and to serve as an officer in the Navy or Marine Corps for five years after 

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

five years. Dedication to the idea of service to your country must be high in 

your reasons for coming to Annapolis if you hope to succeed, and if you are lo 

fully justify taking your place in the entering class

Education 

A sound college education is the foundation for e,ery profession in our 

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

founding in 1845, has been dedicated to providing a sound education for its 

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

internal technology and in the nature of its outsiJe relationships, has changed 

the requirements for the undergraduate education of its officers at Annapolis. 

Professional, seagoing, shipboard subjects are still required of each graduate, 

but, beyond these, each midshipman may now choose from many areas of 

study, ranging from engineering through oceanography, and ma thematics on 

to history, economics, and political science. The needs of the Navy require 

that at least 80 percent of the midshipmen in each class be enrolled in 

engineering, scientiHc, or mathematics majors. Other midshipmen may major 

in the humanities or social sciences. Whatever your major, you will find yourself well prepared at graduation to serve as a line officer in any of the principal 

warfare specialties. 

Leadership Training 

The Naval Academy does much more than simply offer you a sound college 

education. Its program includes military training, physical training, and the 

inculcation of the ideals of the naval profession. The purpose of the overall 

program at Annapolis is to produce self-confident leaders who accept and 

are fully ready lo carry out their responsibilities both to the nation they serve 

and to the men and women entrusted to their command. This is not an easy 

goal and no one should come to the Naval Academy with the idea that the 

training program is a spare-time adjunct to the educational program. It is allencompassing and its activities pervade the four-year course through all the 

months of the year. 

Thus, you should fully appreciate that the ultimate objective of the leadership training that begins here at Annapolis is to produce officers who can 

rise to command-professionnl officers who are phvsically strong and mentally competitive and who have a solid technical foundation. Officers of 

unflinching honesty and forthrightness, with total commitment to high 

standards of honor, duty, and responsibility. Officers who relish a challenge 

and thrive in accomplishment. 

Characteristically, President Harry Truman cut to the essence of command 

when he observed, "The buck stops here." Perhaps the finest description 

10 

"I /tad my first date of 

tlie s11111mer last weekend, 

I im•1ted a guy from

of wh,1t the responsibility of command is all ,1bout, however, and still rema rkabh appropriate today, was written by English sea captain and writer Joseph 

Conr,1d · "In each ship there is one man who, in the hour of emergency or 

peril ,1t ,ea, can turn to no other man. There is one who alone is ultimately 

responsible for the safe navigation, engineering, performance, accurate gunfire, ,md mor,1le of his ship. He is the comm,1nding officer He is the ship" 

Years at Annapolis 

The plebe year at Annapolis is tough. It is a yea r of academic and professional 

development in a new and different environment. You will certainly feel pressure and stress in the process and will find it necessary to learn to utilize time 

better than you ever have before. The challenge will be total· mental, moral, 

and phys1c,1l. For the enltre year. 

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

accountabilitv to you with decreasing severity until, during vou r first class 

or senior ye,u, you will have a great deal of freedom in choosing what you 

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

will come increased responsibility. The first class, and particul,,rly the midshipmen officers chosen from the first class, are charged with much of the 

responsibility for running the Brigade Student government was a reality at 

the Naval Academy long before it w,1s being discussed at most other institutions. 

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

worthwhile 1s ever e,,sy. And few achievements are so salisfving. By the 

time you gradua te, you will have developed your potentials of scholastic 

achievement, phvsical condition, and leadership abilitv to the best possible 

advantage. 

Travel and the Sea 

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

its dav-to-day work, and its future As vou stroll through the Yard, vou can 

see ocean-going ships in the Chesapeake on the,r way to and from Baltimore 

Whatever the month, vou will usually see part of the Academy's Aeet of more 

th,m 100 small-cr.,ft sail and power- underwav in the c;evern River or on 

the Bay 

Perhaps vou have never thought much about the sea; perhaps vou h,we 

lived near and known it well all vour life perhaps you have never known

ADMIRAL CHESTER W. NtMITZ 

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

for you. Whatever your situation, you should not think seriously about 

Annapolis without also thinking about the sea. 

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

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

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

gone to a number of Mediterranean and Northern European countries, while 

the Pacific groups have visited Hawaii, Australia, Japan, and Hong Kong. 

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

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

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

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

stand the watches of a junior officer, applying again a portion of your professional training and education. And, once again, you may visit ports in 

Europe or the Far East. 

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

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

heart of the Annapolis program. 

Professionalism 

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

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

the desire for service to country with which this chapter started. The midshipmen themselves have a good phrase they use when asked if a particular 

person should come to the Academy. They say, "You have to want it." That 

really says it all. 

It's up to you.

ALfR£0 THAYER MAHAN 

Through the years 1845 to 1979, as the nation's responsibilities and need 

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

complexity Keeping pace, in peace and war, from sail to steam, and into 

the nuclear age, the Naval Academy has responded to every challenge, improving its facilities and revising its curriculum as necessary to provide the timely, 

second-to-none professional leadership expected in the United States Navy. 

The Naval Academy was founded as the Nava] School in 1845 by the 

Honorable George Bancroft, distinguished historian and educator, and Secretary of the Navy in President James K. Polk's Cabinet. It was located in Annapolis, Maryland, on the 10-acre site of the Army's nearly abandoned Fort 

Severn, where the Severn River empties into the Chesapeake Bay. 

Commander Franklin Buchanan was the first Superintendent of the Naval 

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

gunnery, naval tactics, engineering, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, 

French, and English. The course of study was five years: the first at Annapolis, three at sea, and back to the School for the fifth. Sixty midshipmen, 

comprising two classes, attended the Academy's first convocation. 

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

the Board of Visitors first met at the Academy, and the course of study was 

reduced to four academic years. Summer training cruises provided the midshipmen with seagoing experience to augment their classroom work. Thus, 

the forerunner of today's basic four-year curriculum and summer cruise 

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

During the Civil War, the Brigade of Midshipmen was moved temporarily 

to the more secure surroundings of Newport, Rhode Island. Following the 

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

Academy was one of the few institutions in America offering a sophisticated, 

technical undergraduate program. 

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

15 
"Clin11ge ,fops riot 11ecessnrily assure progress, 

/,111 l'rogrcss implncnbly

HrNR\- Snttr CoMMAC£R 

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

serving as an instructor in the Department of Physics and Chemistry at the 

Academy. Michelson continued his brilliant scientific work after leaving the 

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

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

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

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

mathematics complex is named Michelson Hall. 

Another distinguished graduate was Alfred Thayer Mahan, whose profound writings on seapower and its inAuences on history are still the world 

standard in the field. Beginning in 1883, Marine officers were commissioned 

from the Academy and Joined the succession of graduates who have served 

with distinction in peace and war for over 100 years. Admirals Dewey, Sims, 

King, Nimitz, Halsey, Spruance, and Burke and Marine Commandants Lejeune, 

Russell, Greene, and Cushman have earned their place in history. So, also, ha\'e 

astronauts Shepard, Schirra, Lovell, Carr, Stafford and Anders. Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, 1922 graduate of Annapolis for whom Ricko\'er Hall, our 

newly completed engineering complex has been named, has personified the 

Navy's nuclear power program for a generation. And, highest honor of all, a 

1946 graduate, President Jimmv Carter, holds the world's attention and the 

hopes of his countrymen for leadership in these difficult times as America's 

39th President The successors to these graduates, preparing to meet a new 

generation of challenges, are midshipmen today 

Following accreditation of the Naval Academv in 1930 bv 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 In 1939, Congress authorized the awarding of the 8.5. degree to all living graduates The Middle States Association 

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

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

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

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

Electives, validation, and "o\'erloads," introduced in 1959, m,1rked the end 

of the Academy's traditional fi,ed curriculum This was followed bv the introduction of the Trident Scholars program in 1%3, the advent of the A,,1demy's first civilian Academic Dean and the introduction of minors ,md (for 

some) majors programs of studv, both in 190-I; and, in 1970, the adoption of

a required majors program for all midshipmen. Designated Bachelor of Science 

degrees in certain engineering majors were first awarded by the Academy in 

] 969. Currently, seven engineering majors lead to designated degrees. All are 

accredited by the Engineer's Council for Professional Development (ECPD). 

An Academic Advisory Board of distinguished Americans, formed by the 

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

matters, has met periodically at the Academy each year since 1966. 

Legislation authorizing the admission of women to the service academies 

"consistent with the needs of the services" was signed by President Ford in 

October 1975. The Naval Academy admitted its first women midshipmen 

{8J) on 6 July J976. Subsequent classes have averaged about QO women.

Yard and Facilities 

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

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

Historical Landmark in 1963 by the federal government. Each year, over one 

million visitors tour the grounds and buildings of the Academy. Everyone is 

welcome during daylight hours, and a visitors' service providing guided tours, 

maps, and information is available. Annapolis is less than an hour's drive 

from Washington, D.C., or Baltimore, Maryland. 

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

curriculum and the Fleet. The original ten acres have grown to today's 329 

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

Severn River. A landfill completed in 1<'.l59 added 56 acres for athletic fields and 

new buildings. Construction of a number of buildings in use today, including 

our chapel, several academic buildings, and core areas of Bancroft Hall, the midshipmen's dormitory, began in 1899 with a Congressional appropriation of ten 

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

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

construction of a Brigade assembly hall, the construction of Halsey Field 

House, and the construction, with privately donated funds, of the nearby 

Navy-Manne Corps Memorial Stadium. A multimillion-dollar renovation of 

Bancroft Hall was completed in 1 %5. 

Beneath the chapel's towering dome, lies the crypt of John Paul Jones, "the

father of the American Navy." Throughout the Yard stand other monuments 

and mementoes commemorating the deeds of our great naval heroes and honoring the Navy's finest traditions. 

Currently, a campus-wide construction and rehabilitation plan is nearing 

completion. Key structures in this plan include the science building, Michelson 

Hall, and the adjoining mathematics building, Chauvenet Hall, both completed in 1968. The 650,000-volume capacity Nimitz Library, overlooking the 

Severn, was completed in 1973. An adjacent engineering building and laboratory complex, Rickover Hall, was completed in 1 Q75. New-to-the-walls interiors, including completely modem classrooms and laboratories, have been 

provided in Maury, Sampson, and Luce Halls. A full range of facilities and 

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

educational television is available throughout the academic complex. All 

academic areas are air-conditioned. 

Recently, privately donated funds from friends and alumni have given us 

our Robert Crown Center, home of the Intercollegiate Sailing Hall of Fame 

and new waterfront headquarters for our sailing program, and a beautiful 

activity center (student union) which includes an indoor ice skating rink, a 

cafeteria, lounges, and game rooms. 

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

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

Brigade. All of the basic facilities for daily living, as well as many for recreation, are found in Bancroft Hall.

CHAPTER III 

Life at Annapolis 

"After tlte prestige of 

being here wore off 1 

had to ask myself why 1 

was here. But now 1 

look on it ns n clrnllenge, 

nnrl I'm pretty excited 

nbo11t the Academy and 

the Navy." 

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 fulfillment of this responsibility, the staff and faculty must ensure not only that the academic program is of the highest quality 

but also that midshipmen are prepared morally and physically for the rigors 

of commissioned service. This is a threefold mission that requires careful 

organization and a clear set of priorities. 

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

or varsity sports and other extracurricular activities. 

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

and upperclassmen engage in a program of summer cruises at sea o r in 

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

Organization 

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

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

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

loyalty; for providing military indoctrination and physical development; and 

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

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

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

subordinate departments or groups of officers. The departments reporting to 

the Commandant include the Division of Professional Development, the

Physical Education Department, the Midshipman Supply Department, the 

Brigade Chaplains, and the Brigade Officers. 

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

of Navy commander or Marine Corps lieutenant colonel, and 36 company 

officers composed of Navy lieutenants and lieutenant commanders and Marine 

Corps captains and majors. These officers work 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, midshipmen are measured, molded, and 

motivated for the day when they will join the Navy or the Marine Corps as 

commissioned officers. 

Bancroft Hall houses the entire Brigade of Midshipmen. The majority live 

two or three to a room. In each of the thirty-six company areas in Bancroft 

Hall there is a company wardroom for informal meetings, reading, or watching television. The Midshipmen's Wardroom, a large dining hall extending 

seaward from Bancroft Hall, accommodates the entire Brigade, family style, 

for meals. Also included in Bancroft Hall are small Catholic and Protestant 

chapels, with chaplains' offices adjoining; a midshipmen's store for daily 

necessities and an occasional gift; tailor and uniform shops; and three barber 

shops, a bookstore, a cobbler shop, a post office, recreation rooms, a bowling 

alley, and a snack bar ("The Steerage"). On weekends, Memorial Hall, Smoke 

Hall, and the nearby activity center in Dahlgren Hall provide attractive 

settings for dances and other recreational activities. 

For purposes of military training and administration, the Brigade of Midshipmen is divided into two regiments, each of which is divided into three

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

orizanizational unit for numerous competitive activities during the year. 

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

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

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

for these commands and staffs on the basis of their demonstrated proficiency 

in leadership and their other officer-like qualities.

Years of Development 

The incoming midshipmen are officially designated midshipmen fourth class, 

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

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

senior year, midshipmen first class. 

Plebe Year. The new midshipmen undergo a comprehensive program of military training and indoctrination from their first day in early July until the end 

of their plebe vear the following May Demands upon them and upon their 

spare time, all with good reason, seem never-ending. Midshipmen quickly 

learn during this period that they are learning subordinates, under close 

superv1s1on and careful guidance. Plebe indoctrination is administered by midshipmen of the first class, assisted by the second classmen, and closely supervised by the Commandant and the Brigade Officers. 

Although some form of milrtarv 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 Academv's mission by developing leadership abilities and 

a basic understanding of the military environment. Its aim is to teach each 

plebe to: 

Exercise self-discipline, 

O rganize time and effort effectively, 

Perform efficiently under stress, 

Think and react quickly with good judgment, 

Exhibit an exemplary military bearing and appearance. 

Plebe year is designed to test and develop. It is a demanding period, requiring midshipmen to stand on their own feet, to produce under pressure, to 

respond promptly and intell1gently to orders and, finallv to measure up to 

the highest standards of character, honor, and morality. 

The first day of plebe summer is a dav that most midshipmen will remember for many years. This is scarcelv surprising. for in one schedule-crammed 

dav, civilians become midshipmen . Thev .ue given haircuts, pose for ID 

photos, fill out forms, wince through mnoculahons, and don newlv issued 

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

orders, to stay in step while marching, and to salute; and they experience their 

first meal in the vast Midshipmen's Wardroom. 

The pace continues-relentlessly-into the afternoon. By early evening, right 

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

Tecumseh Court: " ... having been appointed a midshipman in the United 

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

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

visit with families and friends ends, and Bancroft Hall silently swallows up 

another new class of midshipmen as they head for evening meal formation. 

The walls close down ... 

If anything, the action picks up following supper Upperclassmen seem to 

be everyhere in Bancroft Hall-giving orders, instructing, challenging every 

step-as plebes struggle to stay afloat in their strange new home. Survival 

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

time to collapse into bed. 

Reveille jars everyone back to reality. It is 6:15 the next morning. "Another 

day in which to excel," as they say around here. And so it goes; there's no 

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

and days soon seem far behind. 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic 

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

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

conditioning program contribute to making each midshipman a proudly versatile individual. Team spirit and the desire to win are developed through 

competition in a wide range of activities, including athletics, dress parades. 

seamanship drills, sailing, and talent shows. 

Plebe summer terminates in mid August with Parents' \IVeekend, when 

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

and enjoy the weekend with their sons and daughters. A dress parade, exhibitions in sports, dining and sailing with the midshipmen, and the opportunity 

to meet the faculty and company officers help to assure parents that their 

sons and daughters are taking their new life as midshipmen in stride. 

Upperclassmen return from at-sea training, leave, and other summer activities the following week. Plebe summer is over, but plebe indoctrination continues. The academic year gets underway. Four years of studies have begun, 

paced by a demanding daily schedule ...

September 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. 

December examinations end the first semester and midshipmen depart on 

Christmas leave. This provides plebes with the first opportunity to visit their 

homes since their arrival at the Naval Academy in early July, and gives all 

midshipmen a welcome break in the academic routine. Leave ends and classes 

resume in mid-January. Later in January, following extensive counseling, 

plebes begin selecting their majors. Mid-term examinations in early March 

are followed by a week of leave for all classes. Studies end with examinations 

in mid-May. Following a short leave, midshipmen return for graduation 

(Commissioning Week) the last week in May. 

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

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

Third Class Year. At the end of Commissioning Week, the first year of intensive indoctrination is ended and the new third classmen depart on six to eight 

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

class. At-sea training is followed by 30 days of leave. 

During their first taste of life at sea in the Navy, the midshipmen come 

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

and upon whom they will depend as officers. Third classmen serve in many 

capacities and actively participate in a wide range of shipboard operations. 

They stand deck, gunnery, operations, and engineering watches; operate ship's 

boats; and exercise at general shipboard drills. 

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

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

majors. And, although the new year brings more responsibilities in infantry 

drills and in watch-standing, the lessened emphasis on indoctrination leaves 

more time for studies and for sports and other extracurricular activities. It is 

a welcome and deserved change! 

Following the completion of academic studies of their third class year and 

the end of their second Commissioning Week, the third classmen become 

second classmen. 

Second Oass Year. During a fast-moving summer, second classmen undertake 

professional studies at the Naval Academy and receive familiarization training 

in the warfare specialties of the Navy and Marine Corps. In New London, 

Connecticut, each receives an introduction to the submarine service through lectures ashore and through visits and short cruises on board nuclear submarines 

of the U. 5. Atlantic Fleet. Traveling to Norfolk, Virginia, the new second 

classmen undergo combat systems training at the Fleet Combat Training Center, and visit modern destroyers and amphibious ships. Flight indoctrination 

in naval training and operational aircraft at Pensacola, Florida, provides a 

knowledge of the duties of an officer choosing a career in naval aviation. Introduction to the techniques of vertical envelopment and amphibious assault, 

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

Following summer leave, still greater military responsibilities become theirs 

as second class midshipmen return to the Academy for their third academic 

year, and enter into increasingly advanced areas of study in their majors. 

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. Tn 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 Commissioning 

VVeek has come and gone, and first class year is underway. 

First Class Year. During their last summer, first classmen go to sea for training 

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

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

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

part in the training and indoctrination of the n.ew plebe class at Annapolis 

during the summer. 

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

is exposed to the social courtesies, amenities, and customs of wardroom life. 

Work in navigation, watch-standing on the bridge, exercises in the combat 

information center and in the engineering spaces, and lectures and studies on 

other aspects of shipboard life complete the summer's training with the Fleet. 

Normally, midshipmen visit a number of foreign lands and ports during 

their training cruises. Visits are made to such places as Hawaii, Japan, Hong 

Kong, Australia, and New Zealand in the Pacific; Gibraltar, Spain, France, 

Italy, and Greece in the Mediterranean; and Holland, Germany, Denmark, 

and Norway in Northern Europe. 

Near summer's end, first classmen return to the Academy to continue their 

academic studies- their principal responsibility throughout the four years at 

Annapolis-and to undertake their important new responsibilities for directing 

the Brigade of Midshipmen 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 Commissioning Week set of slripers, is selected by the Commandant from among the most capable midshipmen in the first two. 

In carrying out these demanding responsibilities, the first class midshipmen must call upon all the leadership skills they have developed during their 

first three years. Following this final year of practical leadership experience, 

they find themselves well prepared at graduation to assume their responsibilities in the Navy or the Marine Corps as newly commissioned officers.

SHAKESPEARE 

The Honor Concept 

Development of a total commitment to the highest standards of honor, duty, 

and responsibility is a vital goal in each midshipman's professional development at Annapolis. Unflinching honesty and forthrightness are essential elements of this commitment. The Honor Concept of the Brigade of Midshipmen 

contributes to this development by providing guiding precepts which aid midshipmen in achieving these high personal standards By outlining generalized 

principles to live by-a way of life rather than a set of regulations- the 

Honor Concept seeks to instill standards of integrity which will motivate midshipmen to make decisions consistent with the highest ideals of honor in every 

situa tion they encounter. 

The Honor Concept is more than a dev,~e for dealing with certain conduct 

violations. It is an operaltonal reality within the Brigade, with each class participating throughout the year in its interpretation and administration through 

Company Honor Representatives to the Brigade Honor Committee. The Concept does not foster the belief in the Brigade that honorable conduct is strictly 

associated with the Naval Academy, but rather that it is an integral part of 

the professionalism expected of officers throughout their careers.

The Professional Training Program 

The Commandant directs the Academy's professional training program with 

the assistance of the Director of Professional Development The program 

encompasses a wide range of training, studies, and drills, and is designed to 

provide graduates with a sound foundation in the fundamental specialized 

subjects and skills required of professional officers in the Navy or Manne 

Corps 

Over 2,000 hours are devoted to building this foundation during the four 

years at the Academv. Class standing at graduation depends significantly on 

a m1dsh1pman's professional training performance. 

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

and a variety of evolutions and drills-both ashore and afloat-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 professionallv oriented academic courses. A description of the courses, 

drills, and training making up the professional training program begins on 

page 135. 

The Yard Patrol Squadron 

The Naval Academy's Yard Patrol Squadron provides its volunteer midshipman members with a unique opportunity to test and develop professional 

knowledge and skills acquired in the classroom while underway on the Chesapeake Bav and its tributaries. Squadron operations are under the general 

supervision of officers of the Seamanship and Navigation Department under 

the Academy's Director of Professional Development. The organization and 

operations of Y P Squadron are similar to those of Navy destroyer squadrons 

on duty around the world. 

The midshipman selected as the squadron commodore is responsible for the 

overall performance and excellence of the squadron in proficiency competition, inspections, and on cruises. Midshipmen assisting the commodore include a chief staff officer, two division commanders, and an administrative 

officer Completing the staff is an engineering officer who supervises training 

in engineering and ensures proper operation and maintenance of engineering 

equipment

sibilities of a commanding officer. The commanding officer and his crew ot 

20, composed of midshipmen from all classes, get underway three afternoon~ 

a week and conduct classroom training the other two. In addition to weekday 

training sessions, weekend cruises are conducted to nearby Chesapeake Bay 

ports and to Washington, Norfolk, and Philadelphia. 

Competition between YP's for the Battle Efficiency Pennant is keen, and the 

crew adjudged most proficient overall in tactics, deck seamanship, piloting, 

communications, and engineering is declared the winner for the year. 

Leave and Privileges 

The amount of leave and other privileges granted midshipmen varies directly 

with their seniority, responsibility, and performance. First classmen not only 

will have more responsibility in the administration of the Brigade, but will also 

have more privileges. 

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

during the year These include a three-week Christmas leave ending the first 

semester, mid-term leaves, a short leave following the second semester, and the 

month-long 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 vanes with seniority and responsibility. 

Fourth classmen are granted liberty on Saturday afternoons and evenings and 

dining-out privileges with relatives and close friends on Saturdays and Sundays. They are permitted to have dates on at least four weekends in addition 

to Commissioning Week. 

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

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

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

completed for the day 

Weekend liberty is granted to upperclassmen. Midshipmen third class 

are afforded three weekends each semester; second class midshipmen receive 

five each semester. First classmen are not limited in the number of weekends 

they are authorized to take; however, a number are required to remain at the 

Naval Academy during the weekend in order to carry out the administrative 

functions of the Brigade.

Cultural Affairs Program 

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

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

finest professiona l productions of dramas, operas, symphonies, and ballets in 

nearby Washington and Baltimore. Field trips are made throughout the academic year to the Kennedy Center and other outstanding theatres by interested midshipmen and their guests. 

Physical Education 

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

Education Department makes a vital contribution to the physical development 

of m1dsh1pmen. The program continues throughout the four years. AU midshipmen participate. 

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

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

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

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

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

Women participate in the same physical fitness and physical education 

program as the men except that some adjustments are made in the program's 

content for women (no contact sports such as boxing, wrestling, etc.) and the 

standards to be met by women because of physiological differences. 

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

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

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

track. 

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

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

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

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

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

run and on the obstacle course. 

The final th ree years provide increasingly advanced instruction and de4o

manding tests. For additional details of the Physical Education Department 

and its program, refer to chapter 8. 

Religious Activities 

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

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

world. This is more than a coincidence. Over the decades of our history, fighting Americans have learned by experience that there is a dimension to military 

leadership-both in and out of combat-which is essential to real effectiveness. This is the spiritual factor, the intangible quality we call moral courage. 

What is it that strengthens men and women in the daily battles of life? 

Where do they turn for help and reassurance in times of special stress? What 

makes them capable of decisions that disregard political or personal expediency? The answers to these questions vary widely among individuals who 

serve in the armed forces. 

An awareness of the diverse concerns and needs of their subordinates both 

in the daily routine of life and in times of stress and danger is an essential 

dimension of the responsibility of being an officer. It is a major reason why 

the Naval Academy has long had a program designed to produce an appreciation in its graduates of the spiritual and moral dimensions of military leadership and life. 

Attendance at religious services is optional. Midshipmen are encouraged to

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

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

and that, in times of stress, their subordinates will look to them for spiritual 

as well as professional guidance The Naval Academy believes that future 

officers owe it to themselves and to those they will lead to gain insights into 

the moral, ethtCal, and religious dimensions of leadership and, therefore, urges 

each midshipman to take full advantage of opportunities for worship and 

moral development. 

Some midshipmen prefer a service m the tradition of their own faith pursued at a church or synagogue in Annapolis. Others select the Academy's 

Protestant or Catholic chapel services which periodically feature nationally 

famous guest preachers and lecturers. Whatever the approach chosen, midshipmen are encouraged and provided many opportunities to seek the strength 

and inspiration that comes from a vital relationship with God 

Medical and Dental Care 

The finest medical and denta! care is provided each m1dsh1pman. 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 1s necessary, there are the more complete 

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

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

Bethesda, Maryland. 

Legal Assistance 

\,1idshipmen are provided professional legal advice and assistance for problems of a personal nature by the Legal Assistance Officer in his professional 

capacity as a lawyer in uniform. His office 1s located in the Administration 

Building. 

Financial Advice 

Midshipmen are provided financial advice on matters relating to savings, loans, 

insurance programs, and estate planning throughout their four years at the 

Academy This is accomplished through battalion and company-size lectures 

and through individual counselling as needed. The Midshipmen Financial 

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

HONORABLE DONALD RUMSFELD 

Graduation Address 

USNA, Class of 1976 

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

supersonic planes provided the training ground for America's first 

astronauts, whose nuclear submarines and surface ships are a testimony to America's engineering genius, whose leaders advise in the highest 

councils of government, and whose Marines stand second to none when tales 

of valor are told. Though ours is a vastly complicated and technological Navy, 

the human being is, in the end, all-important. It is an organization wl,ich puts 

a high premium on leaders with vision, dedication, and ability. It is a Navy 

with a proud past and a promising future, broad enough to provide a stimulating challenge in a spectrum of interesting fields. 

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

graduate will be fully ready to assume the responsibilities of an officer in the 

greatest Navy or Marine Corps in the world. Every graduate who is physically 

qualified is commissioned in the unrestricted line of the Navy or the Marine 

Corps. Those physically ineligible to accept these commissions may apply for 

a commission in various staff corps of the Navy, e.g., Supply Corps or in the 

various restricted line specialties, e.g. Engineering Duty. 

Assignments for Women Officers 

Recen t Congressional legislation amended the long-standing law that prohibited women from serving onboard Navy ships or aircraft that are or 

could be engaged in combat missions. This new legislation permits women 

to serve as members of ship's company on a variety of auxiliary ships (repair 

ships, research vessels, salvage ships, replenishment vessels) which do not 

normally perform a combat mission. Women officers are now also eligible for 

temporary duty assignment (less than 180 days) to nny ship for which a 

combat mission is not envisioned during the temporary duty period. 

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

sea in increasing numbers, the career patterns and duty stations of women 

graduates of the Naval Academy are still different from their male counterparts. The limited number of non-combat related sea billets means that women 

may, in general, expect the majority of their assignments to be ashore. So 

although a percentage of women officer graduates from the Naval Academy 

will go to sea or fly a plane (surface and air warfare specialists), the majority 

of women officer graduates will develop other specialties and pursue careers 

(occasionally at sea) in one of many areas including administration, communications, computer science, engineering, environmental science, legal, or research 

and development, to name just a few. 

Women accepting a commission in the Marine Corps may be assigned to any 

duty available to male officers, with the exception of those which might place 

them in a combat situation. Thus, all military occupational specialties are available to women officers except infantry, artillery, tanks, and combat flying. 

First Duty 

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

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

Navy and Marine Corps, and the personal qualifications of the individual. 

Every attempt is made to assign graduates to the duty and locality requested. 

Whatever the initial operational duty, officers usua!ly find that the responsibilities assigned are greater than those of their contemporaries in civilian 

lrfe. Most Naval Academy graduates are commissioned as ensigns in the line 

and are, thus, headed ultimately for command at sea. Those graduates who 

choose to go to sea initially on a surface ship (e.g., aircraft carrier, cruiser, destroyer, replenishment or amphibious warship) attend a four-month course at 

the Surface Warfare Officer School prior to reporting to their first ship. Other 

graduates may volunteer and be selected for nuclear power training, with ultimate assignment to nuclear-powered submarines or surface combatant ships of 

the Fleet. 

Graduate programs leading to advanced degrees are available to a small 

number of new graduates. Normally these special programs will follow a tour 

of sea duty Prospective aviators may elect to go directly to flight school c-r they 

may go to sea with the Fleet for two years before entering flight training. 

One out of every six Annapolis graduates may volunteer for appointment 

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

52 
the Marine Corps will spend 21 weeks at the Basic School- a school for 

officers, run by officers. After th,s familiarization training, the Marine lieutenant 

will receive formal training in the occupational specialty he or she chooses. 

Career field choices include the combat arms, aviation, intelligence, logistics, 

engineers, air traffic control, data processing, supply and communications. 

Upon completion of training, the lieutenant will be assigned to a regular 

Marine Corps unit. 

Officers not physically qualified for the options described above may select 

duty in one of the staff corps or restricted line branches of the Naval service 

Officer Career Patterns 

Within the framework of the needs of the service, officers determine their 

own career patterns to a significant degree through their requests for assignments afloat and ashore, advanced studies, and, of course, by personal performance. After the initial tour, most young officers have a fairly well developed idea of what specialty they would like to follow. Line officers seek 

operational assignments that will prepare them for command of a surface ship,

submarine, aircraft squadron, or Marine combat unit. Tours of duty ashore 

occur at regular intervals. Officers aspiring to command at sea will serve in a 

number 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. 

Repeated assignments within specialized fields and graduate studies provide 

line officers with subspecialties which generally are exercised ashore. These 

subspecialties include such varied fields as ship engineering, aeronautical engineering, management, international relations, and personnel administration. 

While certain aspects of the career patterns of Navy and Marine Corps 

officers are similar, there are some significant differences. Upon completion 

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

training, the Marine lieutenant can expect to be assigned to Fleet Marine Force 

operational units in the United States or in the Far East. During this initial 

tour, the Marine officer serves in command and staff positions. Following 

this, the Marine officer can expect assignment to jobs outside his or her 

specialty, such as independent duty, barracks duty, recruiting duty, or duty 

with other services or with a major headquarters staff. As Marine Corps 

officers advance in rank and experience, they find themselves receiving advanced professional training at various service schools, attending graduate 

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

It is at once a satisfying and demanding life. The officers in the Navy or 

Marine Corps present many faces to the world as they advance in seniority: 

professional sailor, Marine, aviator, engineer, manager, scientist, administra54

tor, educator, diplomat, Fleet commander This is not just a job, but a way of 

life-a career dedicated to the service of the United States and its people, 

carrying with it high professional prestige and opportunities for broad experience, a career which rewards the industrious, the loyal, and the imaginative. It is a career for those with a zeal for strenuous living, patriotism, and 

dedication to an ideal of real meaning, a meaning which can be translated into 

a lifetime of adventure and service in the Navy or Marine Corps of the 

United States. 

Officer Education and Training 

Upon graduation and commissioning, new officers may lay their books aside 

momentarily, but their theoretical and practical educa tion will continue as 

long as they are 1n the service. From graduation day forward, they will continue to prepare for assignments of greater responsibility and professional 

attainment by acquiring practical experience ashore and afloat and through 

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

initiative, energy, and resourcefulness, commensurate with logical career planning and execution. 

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

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

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

for higher responsibilities. This move toward graduate education begins 

before graduation for those midshipmen selected for scholarships in civilian 

universities or for Navy and Marine Corps-sponsored graduate programs. 

Navy functional and technical courses provide the initial post-commissioning training for many officers. The duration and complexity of these courses 

vary widely but all are taught on a postgraduate level. They vary from the 

eighteen months of flight training for pilots to two- and three-week functional 

schools in damage control, communications, electronics maintenance, and 

antisubmarine warfare. Some exceptional educational opportunities are afforded by these curriculums For example, the nuclear power training progr,1m, sponsored jointly by the Navy and the Energy Research and Development Administration, and to which many graduates go, is considered the 

finest technical preparation in its field anywhere in the world. 

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

some qualified Naval Academv graduates may e'\.pect orders to graduate study 

for one or more years. Opportunities for graduate work continue throughout 

an officer's career Military service colleges, in particular, are noted for their

The ever-increasing importance of our Navy in the defense of this country 

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

technical fields, governmental affairs, education, training, or managerial skills 

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

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

ADMIRAL [1',10 R. ZLM\\'AlT 

Each year, the Naval Academy selects app-roximately 1,350 candidates for 

admission to the plebe (freshman) class. They come from every state in 

the union and from backgrounds reflecting every facet of American life. 

The Naval Academy encourages this diversity and recognizes the value and 

promise of a Brigade enriched by a membership representing every race, creed, 

color, and background found in this nation. Students from minority groups are 

strongly encouraged to apply for admission. The number of minority students 

in recent entering classes has risen sharply. The Class of 1982 included 154 

(over 11 percent of the class) from racial and ethnic minorities. 

Certain general eligibility requirements for candidates do exist Candidates 

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

must not have passed their 22nd birthday by l July in the year of admission. 

They must be unmarrred and have no children and, except for limited quotas 

of foreign midshipmen specifically authorized by Congress, must be citizens 

of the Unrted Stales. 

Meeting these requirements, prospective candidates must then proceed to 

obtain a nomination; qualifv scholastically, medically, and in phvsic,11 apli• 

tude; and be selected for entry. The Admissions Board examines each candidate's school records, SAT or ACT scores, recommendations from school 

officials, record of extracurricular activities, and other evidence of character, 

leadership potential, and academic aptitude and achievement. Qualification for 

admission and competition for selection rs based on consideration of all of the 

above factors. 

High School Program 

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

rigorous college program. The q11ality of the work is important About three 

out of four candidates accepted for admission to Annapolis come from the

top 20 percent of their high school classes, and chances for admission are very 

limited for those who stand below the top 40 percent. While the Academy 

does not have rigid requirements concerning the subjects which must be 

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

following subjects in their high school or prep school curriculum: 

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

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

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

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

the Academy as plebes, however, and must complete the entire four-year program. The Admissions Board requires that applicants furnish transcripts of 

any college work they have taken. 

Precandidate Questionnaire 

Applicants should submit a Precandidate Questionnaire to the Naval Academy 

in the spring of their 111mor ye11r, or as soon thereafter as practicable. The 

Academy will open a preadm1ssion file upon receipt of the questionnaire. Information gathered in this file will be used by the Academy to provide the 

applicant's Congressman with periodic status reports, including a preliminary 

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

nomination. Precandidate Questionnaires should be requested from the Director, Candidate Guidance, U.S Naval Academy, Annapolis, \llaryland 

21402.

Candidate Guidance 

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

naval service through Annapolis. This office also coordinates the nationwide 

activities of some 1,800 selected Naval Reserve officers, not on active duty, 

and civilians who have been designated Naval Academy Information Officers. 

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

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

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

procedures should write to the coordinator nearest them or to:

The Naval Academy is open to visitors from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday 

through Saturday, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Prospective candidates are invited to drop by the Academy's Candidate Guidance Office in 

Leahy Hall to talk with an officer counselor from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday 

through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday. No appointment is 

necessary. 

Tests 

Either the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Scholastic Aptitude 

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

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

not later than February of the year of admission to Annapolis. Students who 

are interested in applying for admission are strongly urged to take these tests 

(in addition to the PSAT) in their junior year to assist us in reaching an early 

evaluation of their candidacy. Candidates taking a test more than once will 

be credited with the highest score(s) achieved. Candidates interested in ad61

Obtaining a Nomination 

Applicants 11111st obtain a nomination to be considered for an appointment 

as a midshipman. It is advisable to apply for nomination d11ri11g the spring 

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

evaluate candidates during the summer months and some nominate in early 

fall. Most candidates will be notified of their nomination by the end of January during their senior year. There are many sources of nominations. Appli62

cants should apply to all sources for which they are eligible, which always 

include their U.S. representative, both U.S. senators, and, for the especially 

well-qualified, the Vice President. The following is a listing of all nomination 

sources: 

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

have five midshipmen attending the Academy at any one time. Ten nominations may be made for each vacancy. It is not necessary to know the official 

personally. Candidates should apply directly to their two senators and to 

the representative from their Congressional district. See appendix A for a 

sample letter of application. 

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

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

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

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

have died while retired with pay (other than those retired under Section 1331 

of Title 10, USC- retirement at age 60 for combined active and inactive service 

of at least 20 years). Application should be made by 15 December to the Superintendent, U.S. Naval Academy (Attn: Candidate Guidance Office), Annapolis, 

Maryland 21402. See appendix A for a sample letter of application. 

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

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

Congressional ominating Procedures 

For each vacancy a member of Congress has at the Academy, the member may 

nominate ten candidates At the Congressman's discretion, thev may be designated as "principal," 1st alternate," "2nd alternate," and so on to ''Qth alternate"; they may be nominated as a principal and nine competitive alternates 

for evaluation by the Naval Academy; or they mav simplv be nominated as a 

slate of ten competitors to be evaluated and ranked bv the Naval Academy for 

the vacancy The top person on the list who is accepted for admission by the 

Academy will be appointed But this does not mean that the others are no longer 

considered In fact, if p11rlirn/11rly well qualified, it is possible that they all may 

be accepted for admission as qualified alternates or competitors. 

64 
"The novelty of be111g 

a girl is not tlte hardest 

part of being l1ere. 

lust being a plebe is 

tire touglrest." 

Admission of Qualified Alternates and Competitors 

Each year the Naval Academy admits several hundred qualified alternates and 

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

candidates nominated by members of Congress, but not appointed to fill their 

vacancies, are still considered on a competitive basis for Annapolis, if qualified. No special application is necessary, as all qualified candidates will be 

considered automatically by the Academy's Admissions Board. 

Admission of Women 

In meeting the "needs of the Service," it is estimated that the Naval Academy 

will be authorized by the Navy to admit approximately 90 women in the 

Class of 1984 The number of women who may be appointed from each of 

the existing sources of nominations listed on pages 63 and 64 of this catalog, 

is proportional to the total number of appointments authorized by law for 

these sources. Women compete with men nominated from the same sources, 

except for children of Medal of Honor winners, who are admitted without 

lrmit if qualified 

Women who hold principal Congressional nominations are admitted, if 

qualified, unless the number of women in line to receive an appointment from 

Congressional-type sources of appointment exceeds the number apportioned 

to these sources (the Vice President; U. S. Senators and Representatives; 

Governors of Puerto Rico, Canal Zone, American Samoa; Delegates from 

D. C., Guam, and the Virgin Islands; and the Resident Commissioner of 

Puerto Rico). If this occurs, women who are qualified principal candidates 

compete in order of merit with women who are in line to be offered Congressional-type appointments, up to the number apportioned to these sources. The 

remainder of the women in this group have priority on a waiting list called the 

qualified alternates and competitors list. 

Sound complicated? Yes, but if you read it again slowly you will see that, 

as Congress intended, women are being offered the maximum opportunity to 

compete with men up to the authorized number of appointments. 

Previous Candidates 

Unsuccessful applicants for a previous entering class may reopen their 

admissions files for a subsequent class by writing the Director of Candidate 

Guidance. A second Prospective Candidate Questionnaire is not required. 

Applicants must, however, obtain a new nomination to be considered for

admission, and they must continue to meet general eligibility requirements 

regarding age, marital status, etc. Retaking of SAT/ ACT tests is highly 

recommended. Additionally, for maximum benefit, any college or junior 

college work taken between candidacies should include a curriculum similar to 

that of first-year midshipmen (i.e., a full academic schedule including math, 

science, and English). 

Readmission of Former Midshipmen 

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

on 1 July of the expected year of graduation. In addition to obtaining a new 

nomination and completing the other normal admission requirements, approval of the Naval Academy's Academic Board is required for readmission of 

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

not later than 1 April. 

Medical Examination 

Applicants must pass a very thorough medical examination. The examination 

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

personality and behavior characteristics necessary to adjust to service life and 

to carry out the rigorous demands of the Naval Academy program. Physically 

fit applicants in good health with normal vi~ion usually have little difficulty 

in passing the examination. Candidates should carefully review the detailed 

medical standards contained in appendix 8. Candidates having less than 20/20 

uncorrected vision and/ or having defective color vision should take careful 

note of the Eyes and Vision section, appendix B. Those who wear contact 

lenses must comply with special examination procedures. 

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

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

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

Naval Academy candidates is determined by the Academy. This procedure is 

necessary because of the limited number and capacity of examining facilities 

available throughout the nation and the current shortage of military physicians. 

For some candidates, this means that they will not be scheduled for a

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

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

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

fully qualified and are in a position to be appointed to the Naval Academy we 

will take immediate action to see that their medical examination is scheduled 

The Physical Aptitude Examination 

Candidates must score acceptably on the Physical Aptitude Examin,1tion to 

qualify for entry. Testing coordination, strength, speed, agility, and endur,rnce, 

the aptitude examination consists of four tests· pull-ups (men) and flexed arm 

hang (women), and (men and women) a standing long 1ump, a kneeling basketball throw, and a 300-yard shuttle run. The examination 1s a 5ep.uate 

examination, separately conducted, and is not part of the Medical Examination 

Complete details of this examination are provided candidates by the Naval 

Academy, along with a testing form and instructions for conducting the examination. It may be conducted by any teacher holding a degree in physic,,! 

education or by any commissioned officer. 

In addition to being in good physical cond,tron in order to do well on this 

test, candidates are stron,~ly advised to be in the best possible physical condi-

tion when they enter the Naval Academy in early July. The first summer is 

very demanding physically, starting with the very first day, and endurance 

and upper body strength are particularly important. Cross-country runs, 

weightlifting, isometric exercises, swimming, push-ups, and chin-ups, and (for 

women) the Aexed-arm hang are valuable conditioning exercise prior to entry. 

Notification of Qualification and Selection for Appointment 

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

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

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

will, in all probability, not be selected. All candidates w110 ltave been offered 

an appointment to the Naval Academy with the entering class will have the 

opportunity to visit the Academy in late May for a full day of orientation 

briefings and tours. The new class is admitted in early July. 

Profile of an Entering Class 

In a typical yea r, we'll receive some 12,000 applications. Over 7,000 of these 

will receive official nominations and some 2,000 of these nominees will be 

found qualified scholastically and medically, and in physical aptitude by our 

Admissions Board. We'll offer appointments as midshipmen to about 1,650 of 

these, of which some 1,350 will accept and become members of our entering 

class. College Boards of the entering class, will average about 570 (English) 

and 660 (math); ACT will average 24 (English) and 31 (math); over 1,000 

will have ranked in the top 20 percent of their high school class, and very few 

will have been below the top 40 percent; perhaps 100 will have had at least 

a semester of college; 60 will be children of alumni, and the class will include 

some 90 women and perhaps 170 minority midshipmen, of which some 60 

will be black, 60 will be Oriental-American, and 50 will have a Hispanic 

background. Honors and activities will include class or student body officers 

(18 percent); National Honor Society (52 percent); varsity letter winners 

{71 percent); dramatics, public speaking and debating (57 percent), leaders of 

musical group (8 percent); Eagle Scouts (10 percent); Boys/Girls State or 

Nation (14 percent); and ROTC, NROTC, AFROTC (8 percent). 

Pay and Expenses 

Midshipmen are paid $351.00 per month, commencing on the date of admission. This salary permits them to pay their own expenses; i.e., for uniforms,

books, equipment, laundry, income tax, and spending money while at the 

Naval Academy By graduation, midshipmen will have accrued savings 

averaging some $1,700. Typically, this will be used to augment their wardrobe 

of officer uniforms and to help them establish themselves at their new duty 

stations. 

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 will be reduced until the 

individual's account reaches prescribed levels. The amount deposited is not 

refunded, but is expended at entrance for clothing, uniforms, etc., which 

become the property of the midshipman. 

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

$2,500. The deposit made at the time of entrance is supplemented by an entrance credit of Sl,200 upon first admission to the Naval Academy. The Sl,200 

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 Sl00 from the 

midshipman's pay, beginning in April of the first year at the Naval Academy 

and continuing until the indebtedness is liquidated. 

Service Obligation 

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

previously acquired a military obligation, will automatically do so upon 

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

or appointed in any of the armed services or their reserve components 

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

to the service academies among those who are subject to the six-year obligation. Of this six-year obligation, Naval Academy graduates must serve five 

years on active duty as commissioned officers. 

Enlisted members of the armed forces who accept appointments as midshipmen at the Naval Academy will not be discharged from their enlistment 

contracts or from their period of obligated service while they are in the status 

of midshipmen, except for physical disability or because of the acceptance of 

a commission. (Act of 25 June 1956, 1-2, re-enacted 10 U. 5. Code 516.)

Midshipmen in this category who are separated from the Naval Academyexcept for one of the two reasons given above-will have their appointments 

as midshipmen terminated and will immediately resume their enlisted status. 

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

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

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

obligated service. 

Agreement Signed by Entering Midshipmen 

Upon admission, all midshipmen who are citizens of the United States will 

be required to sign an agreement, with the consent of their parents or gua rdian 

if a mmor, that they will fulfill these obligations: 

They will complete the Academy course of instruction (unless disenrolled 

from the Academy by competent authorrtv) 

They will accept appointments and serve as commissioned officers on active 

duty in the U. 5 Navy or U. 5. Marine Corps for al least five years immediately after graduation. 

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

of graduation, will serve as commissioned officers m the Naval Reserve until 

the sixth anniversary. 

Resignations and Separations 

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

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

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

Second and first classmen After the commencement of the 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 lo the Naval Reserve m an enlisted 

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

provisions of Title 10, U. 5. Code 6959b. Where separation occurs as a result 

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

be waived by the government.

partial completion of a prior service obligation by separated midshipmen does 

not necessarily exempt them from transfer to a reserve component and call to 

active duty in accordance with Title 10, U. 5. Code 6959b. 

Refusal to accept commission: Any first classman who completes the 

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

mission (such as repair ships, research vessels, salvage vessels, etc.). Women aviators may also, for the first time, 

perform non-combatant flight duties involving the landing 

of aircraft aboard ships at sea However, due to the limited 

number of non-combat related sea billets available, only a 

limited number of women officers will be able to select these 

warfare billets Currentlv, the majority of women officer 

graduates will develop other specialties and pursue careers 

ashore in one of many areas including administration, communications, computer science, engineering, environmental 

science, legal, or research and development, to name just a 

few It should be emphasized that all physically qualified 

women will be commissioned in the line upon graduation 

from the Naval Academy Options for women to be commissioned in restricted line or staff communities, such as 

the Supply Corps and Civil Engineering Corps, are not currently planned (unless the graduate is not physically qualified for a line commission) All U S. Marine Corps occupational specialties are available to women officers except 

infantry, artillery, tanks, and combat flying. 

Q. I don t know my Congressman. How do I get n 

nommntioni' 

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

the representative of your Congressional d,stnct and to 

both of your U.S. senators by mail, your applications will 

be considered carefully (See Precand1date Questionnaire, 

pg 60.) Each member of Congress may have five of his 

appointees attending the Academy at any one time. And 

each member may nominate up to ten candidates for each 

vacancy. The e%ential thing to remember is that, by law, 

you must have a nomination to be considered for appointment. Once vou are nominated, you officiallv become a 

candida te and your record can then be evaluated by the 

Naval Academv on ,ts merits. Even if vou are not selected 

to fill a Congressman's vacancy, if you have one of his 

nominations and have a good school record and otherwise 

meet the basic entry standards, you will have an excellent

chance to become a midshipman. Each year several hundred 

of the best qualified alternate Congressional nominees are 

appointed to the Naval Academy by the Secretary of the 

Navy to bring the entering class up to authorized strength. 

Q. I'm in the Naval Reserve. Can I get into the Academy? 

A. Up to 85 enlisted reservists (Navy and Marine Corps), 

on active duty or members of drilling units, may qualify to 

enter the Academy each year through the Reserves. See 

your commanding officer for details. 

Q. If I am eligible for a Presidential nominntion, shoHld 

1 also npply for a Congressional nomination? 

A. Yes. The more nominations you obtain, the better 

chance you will have for selection if you are found fully 

qualified. 

Q. Is it difficult to enter directly from high school? 

A. No. Over nine out of ten midshipmen enter directly 

from high school or prep school. 

Q. My grades were about average, but I played in several sports and was student body president. Also, 1 had to 

work after school. Will these activities help me? 

A. Yes. Evidence of leadership ability and participation 

in extracurricular activities, including athletics and parttime jobs, are considered in our evaluations. 

Q. Is physical preparation important? 

A. It certainly is! Aside from helping candidates to do 

well on the physical aptitude test, men and women alike 

should be as physically fit at entrance as possible, since the 

first summer is very demanding. Endurance and upperbody strength are particularly important. Cross-country 

runs, swimming, push-ups and chin-ups, and (particularly 

for women) the flexed-arm hang are valuable conditioning 

exercises. Be in shape! Or be sorry.

Q. I have a high IQ and am a straight-A student. Will 

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

take any electives, such as electrical engineering? 

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

of most civilian colleges. There are many academic majors 

offered, from English to mathematics to physics to electrical engineering. Advanced research proJects are offered in 

these and many other areas 

Q. What part of the medical examination gives the most 

d1ffic11/ty to candidates? 

A. The eye examination. Visual acuity of 20, 20 is required. However, a limited number of outstanding candidates may be granted waivers for visual acuity 1f the refractive error is not excessive and their vision is correctable 

to 20 20. If within waiverable limits, and otherwise fully 

qualified for admission, you will be considered a11tomat1cally, based on your overall record, for a waiver by the 

Academy's Admissions Board. Since only a limited number 

of nominees may be granted a medical waiver, the competition for the available waivers is keen. It should be noted 

that all nominees within waiverable limits (and otherwise 

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

Q. I don't like sports. Do I have to try out for anything? 

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

may not be the best school for you. A midshipman 1s required to parhc1pate in athlehcs, either varsity or intramural, for the development of character, physical fitness, 

and competitive spirit.

77 

Q. How muclz does it cost to be a midshipman 7 

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

are provided. In addition, midshipmen receive a monthly 

salary of $351 00 for uniforms, books, and personal needs. 

Salary and the value of the daily ration allowance ($2.92. 

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

A $300.00 deposit is required on entry. 

Q. How often may I visit home? 

A. During Christmas and spring leaves. In addition, 

month-long summer leaves are granted to the three upper 

classes. You must pay for your own travel. 

Q. How many flunk out? 

A. About ten percent of each entering class eventually 

leaves the Naval Academy because of academic failure. 

Q. Do I get to fly? 

A. All midshipmen receive flight indoctrination m naval 

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

Q. Do I gl'I to choose any of my courses? 

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

your courses. The great majority of midshipmen get their 

first choice of a major. Occas1onally, however, m order lo 

better meet the future needs of the Navy, midshipmen 

must accept their second choice. The Navy requires at least 

80 percent of our midshipmen lo pursue engineering or 

science-oriented majors-a quota which we have had no 

trouble exceeding voluntarily in recent years. 

Q. How much social life would I ltave at tlze Academy? 

A. Social life is very limited during the first year After 

the initial (plebe) year, there is an increasingly wide range

of social activities available. In addition to weekend dances 

and other extracurricular activities at the Academy, there 

are opportunities for afternoon liberties in town and for a 

number of weekends away from the Academy. 

Q. 1 nm a high school freshman. When sho11/d I start 

preparing myself for the Academy? 

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

academics and your record in athletics and other extracurricular activities for your last three years will be evaluated 

by the Naval Academy. 

Q. 1 11111 in college. ls it too late to enter tlie Academy? 

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

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

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

of an entering class have been enrolled in a civilian college. 

Q. If 1 failed to be selected for nn appointment for one 

class, am 1 eligible to apply 11g11i11? 

A. Yes, as long as you still meet basic eligibility requirements pertaining to age, citizenship, etc., and obtain a new 

nomination (see Previous Candidates, pg 65 ). Also, each 

year, a number of the most promising of our unsuccessful 

candida tes is invited by the Academy to enlist in the 

Naval Reserve for the express purpose of attending the 

Naval Academy Prep School. Here, they become eligible 

to compete for entry into the Academy under a Secretary 

of the Navy nomination. 

Q. Wlie11 should I apply for II no111i1111lio11? 

A. Apply to the representative from your Congressional 

district and to both your U. 5. senators for a nomination, 

whenever possible, in the spring of your 11111ior year in high 

school. Although a few apply as late as December of the 

senior year, this is not advised since most members of 

Congress will have selected their nominees by this time. 
"It (the first day) was 

the worst day of my 

life." 

Q. What is my military obligation on graduation? 

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

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

Marine Corps. 

Q. Can I become a Navy physician or dentist? 

A. There was a limited program for pre-medical training 

at the Naval Academy a few years ago, but it does not 

exist for present entering classes. If your primary interest 

is to become a Navy doctor or dentist, it is recommended 

that you attend a civilian college offering premedical 

studies. 

Q. Does the Naval Academy have a pre-law major? 

A. The Academy has no pre-law program, and you might 

better plan to attend a civilian college offering pre-law 

studies if your primary interest 1s to become a Navy 

lawyer. Naval Academy graduates may apply for the 

Navy's law education program after two years of commissioned service. This 1s a very limited program, however, 

with only 25 officers selected from the entire Navy and 

Manne Corps each year Officers not selected are required 

to continue their careers as line officers. 

Q. My fat her was in tlte armed forces. Will this help me 

to get a nomination? 

A. Sons and daughters of career members of the regular 

and reserve forces, active duty or retired, may be considered 

for nomination under the Presidential category 

Q. What if a midshipman 1s found to be smoking marijuana or to be using other 11n1111tl1orized drugs? 

A. The Naval Academy has a zero-tolerance drug policy. 

If you are found to be in possession of or using drugs, including marijuana- here or anywhere else during your 

four years as a midshipman, out you go. 
"The ideal condition

Q. Where do midshipmen live? 

A. They are housed in one large, multi-winged building, 

Bancroft Hall, having more than 4.8 miles of corridors and 

33 acres of floor space. Each room has its own shower and 

all rooms have been remodeled in recent years. The Midshipmen's Wardroom is also located in Bancroft Hall. Here 

all 4,300 midshipmen are able to sit down and eat at one 

time. The food is served family style. The Hall contains a 

store, medical and dental facilities, a soda fountain, bowling 

alleys, and numerous other facilities. 

Q. I l111ve nominations to both the Naval and the Air 

Force Academies. Must I undergo two medical examinations; 

A. No. A single Qualrfyrng Medical Examination conducted at any of the military examining centers designated 

by the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board is acceptable for all service academies. 

Q. What reasons are given most frequently by plebes 

who resign from the Academy? 

A. Resigning plebes most frequently say: 

(1) They came to the Academy under parental pressure. 
"It's definitely a way 

for blacks to get ahead, 

but you haue to be 

prepared to sacrifice 

the' good life' for 

awhile in order to attain 

your goals." 

81 

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

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

They knew that the academic program was demanding, but 

they failed to realize the extent of the daily demands made 

on their time by the military and professional aspects of 

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

the regimen of a service academy. 

Q. As a male grnd11ate, what are my career choices on 

graduation' 

A. During the first semester of the senior year, midshipmen found medically qualified for commissioning as line officers choose from the following service selections on graduation· (1) the surface warfare community, (2) the submarine 

service, (3) naval aviation, or (4) the U S. Manne Corps 

(either ground or pilot aviation officer training) Additionally, up to five highly qualified graduates may be selected for 

the Navy Engineering Duty officer specialty Those not medically qualified for line duties are commissioned in the staff 

corps or the restricted line (Women See Assignments for 

Women Officers, page 51, and Q &. A, pp. 73- 74) 

Q. How do I apply and what are my c/1arices of getting 

mto the Naval Academy Preparatory School? 

A. Whether you are military or civilian, no application is 

necessary You will be considered automatically, based on 

your record, in the event you are unsuccessful in gaining 

an appointment to the Naval Academy 

Q. ls there a ,\'aval Academy representative near my home

The Curriculum Challenge 

"People at the Academy 

are trying to help you 

grndi111te. If you get 

into any trouble 

academically, a11ybody 

here would be willing 

to help you 0111. This 

is one thing that other 

colleges don't offer." 

Young men and women entering the Naval Academy can be confident 

that the professional education and training at Annapolis will give 

them the knowledge and skills they will need to perform their future 

milrtary duties effectively. The development of professional officers has been 

central to the objectives of the Naval Academy since its foundmg over 130 

years ago. It is today. But today's Naval Academy offers considerably more. 

The Naval Academy is primarily an academic mstitution, offering in-depth 

studies in engineering, science and the humanities. The curriculum is demandmg, and its many choices are designed to challenge each midshipman in terms 

of hi, own academic aptitudes and interests. 

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

all the qualifications and specialties desired or needed in a naval career. Today's Naval Academy, therefore, does not seek to give the same all-inclusive 

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

every graduating class a group of individual line officers -all thoroughlv 

educated at the baccalaureate level and well trained in basic professional 

subjects. 

Each midshipman must satisfy certain minimum course requirements m 

mathematics and science and in the social sciences and the humanities. Midshipmen must also complete a major sequence from a variety of fields designed 

to provide them with the academic background necessary for effective leadership in today's Navy or Manne Corps Consistent with the Navy's technical 

orientation is the Academy's minimum requirement of having 80 percent of 

the midshipmen major in one of the engineering, math or science disciplines. 

The remaining midshipmen may major in one of the humanities or social 

sciences. 

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

83 
"There are some 11pperc/11ss I wo11/rl foil ow 

tliro11g/1 fire; tltere are 

others I feel like 

p11slu11g in." 

Seven engineering majors offered by the Naval Academy lead to designated 

degrees which are accredited by the Engineering Council for Professiona 1 

Development (ECPD). 

Choosing a Major 

A midshipman's choice of a maior governs the number of related and supporting courses required in science, engineering, mathematics, or foreign 

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

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

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

language. On the other hand, programs in social sciences, international 

studies, and English do require foreign language study, yet these programs 

also include four semesters of mathematics, one year of chemistry, and a 

year of physics. 

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

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

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

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

whether their talents lie m a technical or nontechnical field. And, during 

plebe year, they may very well discover that their real interests and abilities 

do not fit the requirements of the major fields first considered. 

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

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

meaningful academic experience in fundamental courses which test ability and 

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

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

navy and the educational background of the midshipman. 

The Common Plebe Year 

During the first year at the Naval Academy each midshipman as placed in a 

program of study at a level suited to ability and academic background These 

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

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

an element of commonality which enables the midshipman to progress into

Fundamentals of Naval Science (first semester) and Introduction to Naval Engineering (second semester). These courses provide midshipmen with knowledge and skills for practical shipboard use during youngster cruise, the most 

important event of third-class summer. They also serve as preparation for 

the professional courses and training which come during the next three years 

History. The plebe history program is a two-semester sequence. Western 

civilization since 1715 is surveyed during the first semester, focusing upon 

topical areas such as geography, social, political, and cultural developments as 

well as the evolution of military institutions and policies. During the second 

semester, America's naval heritage is explored and students examine the antecedents, origins, and development of the United States Navy within the framework of America's growth as a continental and, eventually, global power

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

sequence appropriate to their background and ability. 

Writing, Rhetoric, and literature. Designed to develop primary tools for 

further education and professional development. Includes intensive practice 

in a variety of wnting techniques, critical thinking, and reading 

Chemistry. A year of study 1s required in this basic discipline. Midshipmen 

are placed in course sequences of varying difficulty depending upon their 

ability and background. 

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

virtually every aspect of the modern Navy, and midshipmen are expected 

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

l eadership. An introductory course to instill in midshipmen a professional 

sense of purpose and personal honor, those military leadership traits and 

techniques which will insure cred1b1litv in the communication of their ideas 

and commands, and an appreciation for individual and organizational factors 

which influence their performance as leaders. 

Advanced Placement 

Prior to entering the Naval Academy, many midshipmen take courses equivalent to those offered or required here. We consider one or more of the 

following in determining whether lo grant credit for this work: validation 

examinations given by the appropriate academic departments, transcripts, and 

results of College Entrance Examination Board Achievement Tests and 

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

courses may be enrolled in more advanced courses during plebe vear, 1f they 

desire, or they may elect to carry a lighter academic load Over half of the members of a plebe class validate at least one course. 

Counseling and Guidance 

Midshipmen are responsible not only for deciding upon their maior, but also 

for selecting specific courses and planning their semester schedules They may 

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

''['l/ tell you this: I'm

An average student, for example, will likely take sequential courses as they 

are laid out for normal progress in a given major program. IF ready for advanced placement in some subjects, or able to handle more than the standard 

number of courses, the midshipman may complete the requirements more 

rapidly and gain time for more elective courses. Some midshipmen may even 

complete second majors. 

Although decisions regarding their academic program must be their own, 

midshipmen have ample opportunities for consultation with faculty members. During the first few weeks at the Naval Academy, they receive about 

20 hours of group and individual counseling on all aspects of the curriculum. 

They also take a number of achievement tests to help determine the levels 

at which studies should begin. 

Temporary academic advisers are assigned to the fourth class midshipmen 

until a major is chosen, normally in the spring of plebe year. Following 

selection of a major, a faculty member from the department in which the 

student has expressed a particular interest will be assigned as the midshipman's permanent faculty adviser to help define study objectives and offer 

guidance toward a logical selection of courses. In addition, the faculty adviser 

concerns himself with the midshipman's over-all academic progress and any 

academic problems encountered from plebe year through graduation. 

Nuclear Propulsion Training Program 

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

training in nuclear propulsion following graduation. Candidates selected 

undertake six months study at the Nuclear Power School, Orlando, Fla., followed by six months training at one of three nuclear reactor prototype sites in 

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

lo assignment in a nuclear powered surface ship or submarine, the choice 

being the individual's. Midshipmen who aspire to duty in one of these exciting ships can acquire a strong foundation by majoring in engineering, 

science, or mathematics. Judicious choice of elective courses in the scientific/ 

technical area and energetic application to the entire academic program 

improve the humanities major's chances for selection into the program.

Professional Course Requirements 

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

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

contribute to more effective summer training with the Fleet while they are 

midshipmen. Because the professional courses required subsequent to plebe 

year vary slightly, depending on the majors program being followed, these 

requirements are specified with descriptions of the various majors beginning 

on page 91 

Distribution Requirements 

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

further study in selected ma1ors, m1dsh1pmen must satisfy certajn distribution 

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

a modern language These requirements are specified for each major 

{chapter 7) 

Academic Organization 

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

four divisions- the Divisions of Engmeenng and Weapons, Mathematics and 

Science, U. 5. and International Studies, and English and History-each 

headed by a Navy captain or Marine colonel. The divisions are further subdivided into departments, 15 in all, which serve as focal points for the 

administration of the maiors program and for the continuing review and 

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

military members of the faculty. 

A fifth major academic area, the Division of Professional Development, is 

under the cognizance of the Commandant of Midshipmen. 

The Nimitz library 

The Nimitz Library, completed in 1973, provides midshipmen and faculty 

with comprehensive library service m support of the curriculum, research, 

and recreational reading. A representative book collection is maintained in 

pertinent fields of knowledge, and the library is especially strong in naval 

88 
"The pen is the tongue of 

tl1e mind." 

CERVANT[S 

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

Washington and Baltimore areas are available to midshipmen and faculty. 

The library contains some 500,000 volumes and accommodates between 

1,400 and 1,500 readers, utilizing a seating combination of study tables, 

study carrels, and lounge furniture Included in the building are seminar, 

faculty and group study rooms, typing and calculating rooms, audio and 

video carrels, and a computer terminal room 

The Naval Academy Archives, the Division of U S and International 

Studies, the Educational Resources Center, and the Naval Academv Photographic Laboratorv are also located within the library building. 

Academic Computing Facilities 

The Naval Academy has one of the most modern and extensive time-shared 

computer systems to be found at any college or university in America. Here, 

similar to a library, the computer is recognized as an essential educational resource for broad usage by midshipmen. Over three hundred remote computer 

terminals are located throughout the Academy in areas convenient to midshipmen and faculty. They are accessible from 8 a m until midnight seven 

days a week A wide variety of useful computer languages is offered such 

as BASIC, PL I, FORTRAN, ALGOL, APL, and many others. Courses in virtually every academic department reAect the impact of the computer An extensive public library of computer programs is available for instant use. 
"The nim of education should 

surely be to make the most 

of tlie inherent and vnstly 

different aptitudes possessed 

by every single individual." 

R. G. STAPLEOON 

In recognition of the many effective ways in which computers are employed 

throughout the Academy, the Naval Academy was designated "An Exemplary 

Institution in Academic Computing" in a recently completed nationwide survey 

sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Only 21 of the over 7,000 

computer using institutions and agencies surveyed were chosen for this honor. 

The Educational Resources Center 

The Educational Resources Center (ERC), located within the Nimitz Library 

building, provides a broad range of services. Functioning as the Academy's 

central audiovisual control point, ERC is responsible for procurement, administration, and maintenance of virtually all audiovisual hardware and software. 

It is responsible for production and distribution of closed circuit TV programming over the Academy's 12-channel system. There is a lending library of 

educational video tapes and films, an audiovisual equipment loan pool, and a 

graphic arts studio. Video cassette programs are available in an audiovisual 

room as remedial and tutorial tools. ERC provides operational and maintenance 

assistance for the Academy's language studies audio laboratory as well as administrative control of the majority of training devices assigned to the Naval 

Academy. 

Special Programs 

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

limited number of exceptionally capable midshipmen may carry out independent research and study during their senior year. Each scholar has a 

reduced formal course load, since the research and thesis constitute the main 

part of the academic program for the year. Scholars are assisted in their 

projects by one or more faculty advisers who are well acquainted with the 

field of study. 

The Postgraduate Preparatory Study Program. The purpose of the Academy's 

postgraduate preparatory study program is to provide the Aeet with better 

trained officers, to prepare graduates for advanced study, and to reduce the 

time required for attainment of an advanced degree. Under the program, qualified first class midshipmen are encouraged to undertake advanced courses, 

which in many cases are acceptable for graduate credit. These courses are 

above and beyond those required for the baccalaureate degree at the Naval 

Academy. 

90 
"Notliing here is ensy 

for nnyone, but nothing 

is so liarrl that it cnn't 

be done." 

Grading 

The Naval Academy employs the letter grades, 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 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 based upon 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 or she 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 the semester QPR is below 2.0, even though the cumulative QPR remains above 2.0. 

It should be noted that grades received in military performance, 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. 

As required by law, the Academic Board examines the records of all academically deficient midshipmen for the purpose of deciding which of them 

should be retained. A midshipman is subject to academic discharge who has 

failed two or more courses, has a Semester QPR below 1.5, has failed to 

remove academic probation, is two or more courses behind in the matrix of 

the assigned major, has failed to fulfill a requirement previously assigned by 

the Academic Board, or has failed to fulfill all graduation requirements at the 

end of first class year. 

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

midshipmen. The Superintendent's List honors midshipmen attaining a SQPR 

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

and in conduct; and with B or better in physical education. Called "star midshipmen," they proudly wear gold stars on the lapels of their uniforms. The 

Dean's List honors midshipmen with a minimum SQPR of 3.4 with no failure 

91 
"The reward of II thing well 

done is to have done it "

(F) in any academic course or other area, including professional studies, apHtude, conduct, and physical education. 

Graduation Requirements 

To qualify for graduation a midshipman must : 

(1) Complete the courses specified for the assigned major; 

(2) Complete 140 credit hours, of which a minimum of 18 credit hours, 

exclusive of the required English courses, will be in the humanities and 

social sciences. 

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

average; 

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

at-sea training; 

(5) Meet required standards of military performance, conduct, honor, and 

physical education; 

(6) Accept a commission in the U.S. Navy or U 5. Marine Corps if proferred. 

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

the Superintendent upon the recommendation of the Commandant and the 

Academic Dean, as approved bv the Academic Board.

Residence 

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

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

courses have the 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 of general interest. 

Schedule of Instruction 

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

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

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

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

for active classroom participation by each midshipman and for individual 

attention. 

Academic Emphasis 

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

best be summarized as follow· 

Seven designated Bachelor of Science degrees.

Aerospace Engineering Major 

Aerospace Engineering, an Engineering Council for Professional Development (ECPDJ accredited major, focuses on the study of compressible and incompressible fluid flows, conventional and advanced propulsion syslcms, vehicle performance, stability and control, and 

modern structural mechanics. It deals primarily with the analysis and design of air cushion 

vehicles, airc-raft and spacecraft Basic principles and sound engineering techniques are 

stressed. 

The curriculum provides for various research proJects and choice of a wide variety of 

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

include a propulsion lab; a rotor lab; low speed, transonic, and hypersonic wind tunnels; 

and a structures lab. Field tests are also conducted using a flight test aircraft, small 

surface effects vehicles, and a variable stability flight simulator. Computer techiques are 

emphasized for data reduction, design, and graphic display. 

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

of Science in Aerospace Engineering is awarded.

Naval Architecture Major 

Naval architecture, an ECPD accredited major, unlike most engineering disciplines unified 

by the nature of the phenomena involved, originally came into being as a discipline because of a single end•product, the ship. A special combination of knowledge and experience is needed to develop, design, and build this single product. Variety exists not only 

in the kinds of work (design, research, cost estimation, management, etc.), but also in the 

types of craft involved-from sail boats to aircraft carriers, from hydrofoil boats to 

catamarans, from submarines to air cushion vehicles. 

Naval architects use both art and engineering in designing ships. Armed with imagination and experience, they convert functional requirements into a suitable, cost-effective 

design. They analyze and select the best dimensions and hull form; they calculate 

the power requirements and estimate the weights of the principal components. They design 

and analyze the hull structure and decide on the location of military subsystems, 

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

into watertight compartments so that, if damaged, the chances of survival are maximum. 

Weighing and compromising all such conflicting needs in the design of the ship are the 

creative and challenging responsibilities of the naval architect. 

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

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

the latest in computer-aided design and analysis techniques. A Bachelor of Science in 

Naval Architecture is awarded.

Ocean Engineering Major 

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

deep ocean. This is an interdisciplinary field involving the application of engineering 

principles to hardware systems in the ocean environment. The curriculum stresses fundamentals of mathematics, physics1 mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and 

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

courses which include analysis of ocean materials. power systems, acoustics, wave 

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

Laboratory experiments are conducted in the 120-foot towing tank and coastal engineering tank. Both are equipped with pneumatic wave-maker and instrumented with sophistisatcd sensors and on-line data acquisition and analysis equipment. The Naval Academy's 

computer systems are used in solving design problems. Sediment laboratory and environmenial chamber facilities are also ,wailable. Midshipmen have designed and are building 

an undersea habitat which will be used as a field laboratory. A Bachelor of Science in 

Ocean Engineering is awarded.

Department of Chemistry 

Chemistry Major 

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

Naval Academy. The laboratory facilities of Michelson Hall are unexcelled al the undergraduate level. Serious students of chemistry have ample opportunity to experiment and 

observe as they pursue the scientific method. Laboratory equipment includes singlepan 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 officers working in such technical subspecialties as oceanspace research, life 

sciences and support systems, propellants, and many others. 

The Chemistry major is accredited by the American Chemical Society. An undesignated 

Bachelor of Science degree is awarded.

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, fie1d 

concepts; theory of relativity; basic theory of quantum mechanics. and statistical me• 

chanics. 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 

<ub<equent specialization in any technical area. An undesignated Bach•lor of Science

English Major 

The major program in English offers study of some of the most significant and inAuential writings of civilization from ancient times to the present, as well as the opportunity 

for independent study and for creative writing projects. A special feature of the program 

is that the literature of virtually a11 major countries and cultures is considered, in contrast 

to traditional offerings which are normally restricted to British and American literature. 

An undesignated Bachelor of Science degree is awarded.

Professional Training Courses 

"Ours is a maritime

LYNDON 8. )OHNSON 

T he overall program at the Naval Academy is designed to provide midshipmen with a broad academic and professional foundation upon which they will be able to build competence in any of the warfare special ties they may elect to follow at gradua tion: surface warfare, aviation, the 

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

commitment to the naval service and the fostering of high personal standards 

are major aims of our program. 

Professional development of midsh ipmen is the overall responsibility of 

the Commandant of Midshipmen. This development starts on the very first 

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

consists of professionally oriented classroom studies (in all, 16 courses during the four years) and of drills and practical training conducted at the 

Academy during the academic year, as well as of professional training conducted 

during the summer at shore bases and at sea with units of the Aeet. Included are 

instruction and training in navigation, seamanship and tactics, naval engineering, naval weapons, leadership, and military law. 

Each midshipman's professional development is monitored and graded 

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

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

curriculum in determining a midshipman's class standing at graduation. 

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

Fourth Class Summer 

Introduction to Seamanship. Practical instruction in elementary seamanship, sailing in 

sloops and yawls, powerboat handling, rules of the nautical road, visual signalling, and 

basic damage control. 

Physical Education Orientatio n and Indoctrination. Preliminary examinations in swimming, posture, and athletic ability. Drills in fundamentals of swimming, bosing, wrestling,

"A man-of-war is the 

best ambassador." 

OLIVER CROMWELL 

"Esprit de corps tlrrives 

not only on success, 

but on hardships and 

adversity shared with 

courage and fortitude." 

ORLANDO WARD 

hand-to-hand skills, posture, and personal conditioning. Indoctrination drills in lacrosse, 

Fencing, soccer, rugby, gymnastics, crew, golf, tennis,. squash racquets, and track. 

Small Arms. Practical instruction in nomenclature, field stripping and assembly of small 

arms. Firing of service pistol. Midshipmen who qualify are awarded the Navy Expert Pistol 

Medal. 

Indoctrination. The plebe summer indoctrination program is designed to provide a fundamental knowledge of the Naval Academy and the Navy and a thorough indoctrination 

into plebe responsibilfties. The program is fundamental to the smooth transition of each 

midshipman from civilian life to life as a member of the Bridgade of Midshipmen. The 

strenuous and demanding regimen prepare the plebe for rigors of the four-year pro· 

gram and provides the basis for future development of professional competence, integrity, 

and physical and mental stamina. 

Fundamentals of Naval Hygiene. The fundamentals of personal hygiene, including 

mental and physical hygiene and first aid. 

Fourth Class Year 

PEI Ol & 102 Physica l Education. Instruction in the fundamentals of swimming, boxing, 

wrestling, gymnastics, hand-to-hand skills, soccer, golf, tennis, volleyball, basketball, handball, squash racquets, and personal conditioning. Tests in applied strength, mile run, swimming, boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, and on the obstacle course. (Women midshipmen 

participate in hand-to-hand skills in place of boxing and wrestling.) 

In fantry Drill. Approximately 13 hours of infantry drill during both the fall and spring, 

four hours of which are devoted to Brigade dress parades. 

Professional Courses. Three introductory professional academic courses in the fields of 

naval engineering, leadership, and naval science are taken during plebe yecu. These courses 

lay the groundwork for more advanced professional studies at the Academy. Engineering 

topics include the basic operation, function, and components of propulsion systems and 

auxiliary engineering equipment. Basic shiphandling, watch and battle organization, communications and command and control centers are topics presented in the first of three 

naval science courses. The initial leadership course is designed to strengthen each midshipman's sense of responsibility, accountability, and personal integrity. 

Third Class Summer 

A t-Sea Training. Midshipmen are sent to units of the Aeet on both coasts of the United 

States as well as to the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean and the Seventh Fleet in the Pacific

for summer-at-sea training. Third classmen are introduced to Navy life at sea, to shipboard 

organi,ation and relat1onsh1ps, and to the leadership opportunities and challenges of a 

Junior officer Midshipmen actively participate in a wide range of shipboard tasks and 

evolutions under normal and simulated emergency conditions, both at sea and in port. They 

stand deck and engineering watches, participate in gun and missile evolutions, and become 

familiar with shipboard equipment. Each midshipman is required to complete a cruise 

training 1ournal. Successful completion of a comprehensive cruise examination at the 

completion of the training period is required 

Third Class Year 

rE201 & 202 Physical Education. Continuation of instruction in tennis, swimming. boxing, 

and wrestling. Instruction in the basics of judo. Tests in applied strength, mile run, swimming, boxing, and on the obstacle course. (Women midshipmen participate in judo and 

fencing 1n place of boxing.) 

Infantry Drill. Approximately 13 hours of infantry drill during both the fall and spring, 

fours hours of which are devoted to Brigade dress parades. 

Professional Cou.rses. Four professional academic courses are taken during "youngster 

year" The first of two navigation courses, Navigation I, presents an introduction to the 

art and science of terrestrial navigation. Topics include chart reading, piloting (position 

plothng). and principles of basic weather phenomena A naval engineering course offers 

studies in ship construction and system acquisition. material strength1 and ship stability. 

The second of three leadership courses emphasizes psychology and considers the application of human behavior theory to effective leadership. The second naval science course 

provides instruction an the art and science of shiphandling, radar piloting, and tactics . 

Second Class Summer 

Aviation, Submarine, Surface line, and Marine Corps Orientation. Broad professional 

training in aviation, submarines, surface line, and the Marine Corps is conducted at bases 

away from the Naval Academy. In addition, during second class summer, each midshipman 

completes four "eeks of professional and academic training at the Naval Academy which 

includes afloat operations and tactics on yard patrol craft (YP's) and public speaking 

Second Class Year 

PE301 & 302 Physical Education. Advanced instruction in tennis. swimming, the pnnciples of personal conditioning, officiating, and the pnnciples of hand-to-hand combat. 

Electives in handball, squash, and volleyball. Tests in applied strength, s"imming, milt

Infantry Drill. Approximately 13 hours of infantry drill during both the fall and spring, 

four hours of which are devoted to Brigade dro« parades. 

Professional Courses. The majority of a midshipman's professional academic courses. six 

courses in all, are taken during second class year. Navigation It is a continuation of the 

first navigation course \,·ith emphasis on celestial plotting, including celestial motion,

development of various coordinate systems, solution of the navigation triangle, rules of the 

nautical road, and electronic navigation. Naval Weapons Systems includes sensor, tracking, 

computational, fire control, and delivery systems. Naval Engineering II concentrates on the 

principles of operation of fossile-fueled steam propulsion and gas turbine plants as well as 

the basic elements of thermodynamics. Courses in naval electricity and in electronics are 

also taken. The last of three leadership courses taken al the Academy is designed to enhance each midshipman's knowledge and understanding of responsibility, accountability, 

and authority; management techniques; problem solving applications for organizations; and 

the processes of decision-making. 

First Class Summer 

At-Sea Trainlng. During their last summer of at-sea training with the fleet, first class 

midshipmen undertake the administrative responsibilities and stand the watches of junior 

officers. They complete extensive practical work in navigation, taking celestial sightings 

and determining the ship's position. They are required to complete a cruise training journal, summarizing watches and work in engineering, seamanship, navigation, weapons, 

operations, and in basic fleet tactics. Selected first class midshipmen may participate in a 

Marine Corps cruise with the First Marine Brigade in Hawaii. Here midshipmen learn firsthand what it is like to be an officer of Marines, working with Marines of all ranks in Marine 

ground units and aviation squadrons. 

First Class Year 

PE401 & 402 Physical Education. Instruction in advanced swimming, personal conditioning, and athletic administration. Tests in appJied strength, running {mile run), swimming, and on the obstacle course. Electives in squash racquets, tennis, golf, handball, 

volleyball, and personal defense. 

Infantry Drill. Approximately 13 hours of infantry drill during both the fall and spring, 

fours hours of which are devoted lo Brigade dress parades. 

Professiona.l Courses. The final three of the 16 professional academic courses are taken 

during Arsl class year. The second weapons course provides midshipmen with the principles employed in weapons systems design, and exposes them to the complexities of 

modem-day weapons system integration. A tactical warfare seminar, the capstone naval 

science course, provides the midshipmen with a broad perspective of naval warfare and 

tactical considerations. It also provides the opportunity for in-depth study of areas of special 

interest in naval warfare. A law course, designed for junior officers, addresses procedural 

and substantive military law as welJ as international Jaw and personal responsibilities. 

Professional Competency Review (PCR). The PCR is a comprehensive examination given 

to all midshipmen midway in their senior year. The examination determines whether or not 

each midshipman has attained the requisite level of professional competence for graduation and commissioning. It also provides an opportunity for midshipmen to evaluate their 

own professional strengths and weaknesses. The PCR provides the administration with 

meaningful feedback on the professional curriculum (seamanship, navigation, engineering, 

leadership, weapons, and summer programs) and thus with a measure of how well the Naval 

Academy is achieving its goals.

Varsity and Intramural Athletics 

"The thing is, I was very 

conf11sed abo11t where 

I wanted to go to college. I visited various 

schools, but nothing 

really hit home. I i"st 

kept thinking, 'None of 

these schools is for 

me.' Then I visited the 

Naval Academy. I had 

110 military backgro,md, b,it they made 

me feel like I could 

participate in athletics 

and also gel a very 

good education. These 

two factors added 

together made me give 

it a shot." 

ROC:ER 5T A UBACH 

J

ust as the Naval Academy has a responsibility for the professional and intellectual development of midshipmen, so, also, must it fulfill its responsibility for this physical development. This responsibility is met through our 

intercollegiate sports program-with 27 different varsity teams, one of the 

broadest in the nation-and an equally ambitious intramural program. All 

midshipmen are required to participate in these programs, either at the varsity 

or intramural level. 

The late John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a World War JI naval officer who rose to 

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

in his thoughts about football: "I sometimes wonder whether those of us who 

love football fully appreciate its great lesson: that dedication, discipline, and 

teamwork are necessary. We take it for granted that the players will spare no 

sacrifice to become alert, strong, and skilled, that they will give their best on 

the field. This is as it should be, and we must never expect less, but I am extremely anxious that its implications not be lost upon us." When President 

Gerald Ford visited the Naval Academy in June, 1974 to present the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy to the victorious Navy football team, he was no less 

emphatic in affirming his deep personal belief in the benefits of athletic competition. A third gentleman, President Jimmy Carter, demonstrated his interest in 

athletics by participating in cross country as a midshipman. 

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

Over the years, midshipmen have carved a reputation for excellence in the spectrum of sports from football to fencing, sailing to squash, and golf to gymnastics. Two Navy football players-halfback Joe Bellino and quarterback 

Roger Staubach-won the Heisman Trophy, the college gridiron's most coveted 

individual prize, within a period of four years. In 1975, roverback Chet Moeller 

was on everyone's All-America. And over the past three seasons, six Navy 

football players received All-American mention. 

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

shells at Antwerp, Belgium in 1920, and in Helsinki, Finland in 1952 And a 

former Navy oarsman-Alan B. Shepard-was America's first man in space. 

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

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

reeled off eight consecutive national championships, a feat unparalleled in 

lacrosse history They won again in 1970, and were runners-up in 1975. In 

I Q71>, a Naval Academy graduate, Captain Lloyd Keaser, USMC, was an 

Olympic medalist in wrestling. Academy pistol teams have won the last three 

naltonal titles. Finally, and certainly highly appropriate for the Naval Academy, 

our intercollegiate sailing team was adjudged tops in the nation for each of 

the past two years. 

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

and Princeton introduced the sport al New Brunswick. The midshipmen have 

parltcipated in the Sugar, Cotton, Orange, and Holiday Bowls, and nothing 

better symbolizes the Naval Academy athletic program than the Army-Navy 

football game, a sports event in the same galaxy as the World Series, the Kentucky Derby, and the Rose Bowl. Navy was ranked 17th in the nation in 1978. 

There is enough of a variety in Navy's intercollegiate lineup lo satisfy 

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

women's volleyball, soccer, ISO-pound football, and sailing. Winter is the 

most active time of year with men's and women's basketball, men's and 

women's fencing, gymnastics, pistol, rifle, squash, men's and women's swimming, track, and wrestling. The spring schedule includes baseball, heavyweight 

crew, lightweight crew, women's crew, golf, lacrosse, sailing, tennis, and track. 

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

out for, and participate with male midshipmen in all Naval Academy sponsored intercollegiate sports except football, lacrosse, wrestling, and basketball. 

Army traditionally is Navy's top opponent and the service rivals clash in a 

total of 18 engagements during the athletic year. Annapolis teams also face 

the perennial collegiate strongboys in every sport-Notre Dame in football, 

Columbia and New York University in fencing, Lehigh in wrestling, Harvard 

and Pennsylvania in crew, and Maryland in basketball, lo name a few. 

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

the Brigade represented by the intramural sports program. Every midshipman, with the exception of varsity athletes, must take part. Here all can 

participate, each at a level equal to individual athletic ability. Women may 

participate in all but the following company battalion-level, contact intramural 

sports: football, lacrosse, boxing, rugby, and wrestling. Women-only sports

are conducted on a regimental basis in gymnastics, badminton, softball, and 

tennis. Intramural sports include: 

Badminton Field ball Soccer Track 

Basketball Football Softball Volleyball 

Bowling Gymnastics Squash Water polo 

Boxing Handball Swimming Weightlifting 

Crew Knockabout sailing Team handball Wrestling 

Cross country Lacrosse Tennis 

Fencing Rugby Touch football 

Excellent physical facilities support the program. Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, seating 28,000 fans between the goal lines, was dedicated i:n 

1959. Halsey Field House is surfaced throughout with Tartan and includes a 

220-yard indoor track. There are more than 80 acres of lighted playing fields, 

an indoor swimming pool, a 5,000-seat baseball park, a challenging 6,217-

yard championship golf course, and an impressive array of tennis, squash, 

handball, and badminton courts. An AstroTurf field provides an all-weather 

practice area for football, lacrosse, and soccer, and a recently completed indoor skating rink provides for hockey and other ska ting activities. 

The athletic program is administered by the Naval Academy Athletic 

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

equipment.

Extracurricular Activities

C/11b ... There's something for everyone." 

L

ife at the Academy offers midshipmen a wide-ranging choice of over 80 

different extracurricular activities (ECAs). All are organized and sustained by the Brigade of Midshipmen themselves. From sky-diving to 

scuba diving; from an FM radio station, WRNV, to the ham radio club, 

W3ADO; from the Madrigal Singers to a 150-member chapel choir; from blue 

water ocean sailing to small day-sailors on the Chesapeake Bay; from hockey 

to rugby football, midshipmen are involved in exciting pastimes. 

In general, extracurricular activities fall into three areas: professional, 

recreational, and Brigade-support. [t is not uncommon for a midshipman to 

participate in one or two from each group. 

The Academy's most popular ECA- professional and recreational- is offered 

through sailing. With one of the finest sailing fleets in the world, over 100 craft 

in all, midshipmen have the use of the BO-foot schooner Mistral and the 58-foot 

yawl lndepe11de11ce for coastal and overseas cruising, five large ocean racing 

yachts, twelve 44-foot Luders-designed yawls, twenty 24-foot knockabouts, ten 

converted Rainbow-class knockabouts, five 30-foot Shields sloops, thirty" 420" -

class dinghies, and 24 Lasers. 

Sailing activities include programs for the varsity sailing team and for offshore sail training. The sailing team combines competition with professional 

development by competing in numerous intercollegiate and other regattas. This 

competition ranges from the single-handed Lasers to the ocean racers with a 

crew of 14. The Academy sponsors many of these regattas, including the 

McMillan Cup and the John F. Kennedy Memorial regattas in the yawls. There 

are dinghy regattas almost every weekend. For the 1976-77 and the 1977-78 

seasons, the Naval Academy won the Fowle Trophy, emblematic of over-all 

intercollegiate sailing supremacy. 

The Offshore Sail Training Program combines recreation and professional 

development by emphasizing good seamanship in a cruising atmosphere. During the summer, the larger yachts (56-foot Allinnce, 48-foot I11s11rgente, 46-

foot Patriot, 39-foot Fair American and 34-foot Liberty) and many of the 

44-foot yawls are sailed in the open sea in such races as the Transatlantic, 

Newport-Bermuda, Marion-Bermuda, Annapolis-Newport, Marblehead-Halifax, and the Chicago-Mackinac Midshipmen command and navigate the 

yachts both m Chesapeake Bay races and in ocean races 

One way or another, thousands of midshipmen engage in sailing during the 

year Our encouragement of sailing at the Academy is no accident. Rather, it 

reflects our long-standing conviction that lessons learned under sail contribute 

directly to a midshipman's professional development-for the 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 ever. Thus, by developing better 

seamen, the Academy's sailing program contributes to the development of 

better naval officers. 

ECA's with a competitive sports flavor also include the rugby, ice hockey, 

water polo, and (men's) volleyball clubs. Organized and run by the midshipmen 

themselves, these "club" teams compete against other college and private teams 

in the area. Although considered ECA's at the Academy, participants may earn 

athletic letters. 

The Scuba Club offers baste scuba diving courses taught by midshipmen 

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

basic or advanced divmg. Once qualified, midshipmen can en Joy club-sponsored 

trips during weekend liberties or leave periods to the Florida Kevs, Virgin 

Islands, or Bermuda and to the wartime wrecks off the nearby coasts of North 

Carolina and New Jersey. 

The Parachute Club also has its own midshipmen instructors. All are 

certified by the United States Parachute Association. The club performs 

demonstration jumps at the Academy during half-time shows, Commissioning 

Week, and during Plebe Summer. Members are afforded an opportunity to 

qualify for military 1ump wings during summer leave at the Army's Special 

Warfare Training Center, Fort Benning, Georgia. 

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

activities offered, membership is one of the largest at the Academy. 

Our varsity debate teams regularly give an excellent account of themselves 

as they compete at district and national levels in over 40 intercollegiate tournaments each yea r These include an Academy-sponsored debate tournament 

in the spring attended by many of the top teams in the country. The History

Club sponsors visits by eminent speakers on historical topics and conducts 

field trips for midshipmen to points of historical interest. 

Academic ECAs at the Academy include a number of nationally recognized 

academic clubs and societies. Among them are the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 

the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society of Nuclear Engineers, Sigma Pi Sigma (physics honor society), the Marine Technology Society, and Omicron Delta Epsilon (economics and management). Phi 

Kappa Phi recognizes superior scholarship in all the major fields of study at the 

Naval Academy. 

The ECAs providing support to the Brigade are wide-ranging and popular. 

The Glee Club and three choirs involve hundreds of midshipmen. The Drum 

and Bugle Corps, a company-size unit, performs intricate marching routines 

while playing traditional martial pieces or specially adapted popular tunes.

The Trident Brass entertains with contemporary jazz, rock, swing, and stage 

band music at concerts and dances throughout the year. There are a number 

of small combos, including rock groups. And the Pep Band, offering a rousing 

combination of Dixieland, blues and fight songs, leads the Brigade at pep 

rallies and sporting events. 

The Masqueraders, the midshipmen drama and theater group, provide firstrate stage entertainments. The Brigade Hop Committee sponsors dozens of 

formal and informal dances during the year. And the Juice Gang provides electrical and lighting support for plays and hops (dances). 

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

class; the Trident Calendar, a favorite Christmas gift embellished with photographs and cartoons; the Log, a literary and professional magazine featuring 

campus humor; and Reef Points, the "Plebe's Bible," a pocket-size guide to 

Academy and Navy customs, lore, and traditions (also serves as a good dictionary for parents and friends to decipher midshipmen letters). 

In short, the broad range of extracurriculars offered at the Naval Academy 

offers something for everyone. For leisure-time entertainment. For professional 

enrichment. And, it's safe to say, for just plain fun.

Administration, Staff, 

and Faculty 

"The man who boasts that The adm,mstrahon of the Naval Academy is in many respects analogous 

he is self-made relieves the to that of a c1v1lian college A Board of Visitors performs the broad 

Almighty of a great supervisory functions of a board of trustees The Superintendent, a Aag 

responsibility." officer of the Navy, is the equivalent of a college president, and acts as the 

ANTHONY Ho,c executive head of the Academy He is assisted by the Commandant of Midshipmen, a senior naval officer whose function is somewhat like that of a dean of 

students, a civilian 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 1s an integrated group of officers and civilians in approximately equal numbers. The 

officers, rotated at intervals of about three years, provide a continuing input of 

new ideas and experience from the Fleet. The civilians provide a core of professional scholarship and teaching experience, as well as continuity to the 

educational program. 

The Board of Visitors 

Appointed annually, the Board of Visitors to the Academy consists of the 

chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U.S Senate, or h,s 

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

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

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

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

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

States.

Honor Societies 

Phi Knppn Phi recognizes superior scholarship in all fields of study. The Naval 

Academy chapter elects up to six percent of the midshipmen of each class to 

membership: three percent are nominated as second classmen and the remainder in their first class year. These candidates represent the top scholars 

in each of the 18 majors offered at the Academy. Although the emphasis is on 

scholarship, excellence of character is recognized by the society as an inseparable attribute for membership. 

Sigma Pi Sigmn, the Physics Honor Society, is an affiliated society of the 

American Institute of Physics and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Midshipmen candidates for membership must have 

completed not less than three semesters of physics with at least a B average, 

and must be in the upper one-third of their class in general scholarship. The 

Naval Academy chapter meets monthly to hear invited speakers and participates in a variety of other projects. In recent years, these have included building the solar-powered car featured on television during the 1975 Army-Navy 

game, field trips to nearby laboratories, and travelling to Cape Canaveral to 

witness Apollo moon shots. 

Omicron Delta Epsilon is the International Honor Society in Economics. In 

addition to recognition of scholastic attainment, the society provides an opportunity for students to publish in its journal, The Americnn Economist. Midshipmen candidates for election to the Naval Academy chapter must have an 

overall scholastic average of B and at least twelve credits in economics with 

a B average or better. They do not necessarily have to be economics majors, 

but must show a genuine interest in economics. 

Sigmn Xi, the Scientific Research Society of North America, is an honor 

society which encourages original investigation in the fields of pure and applied science. The Naval Academy club includes members from the professional staffs of the Academy and the David W. Taylor Naval Ship Research

and Development Center's Annapolis laboratory. Monthly meetings feature 

distinguished speakers from many scientific fields. Graduating midshipmen 

who have distinguished themselves in research as Trident Scholars or in elective courses may be recommended for election to associate membership. 

Prizes and Awards 

Each Commissioning 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 midshipmen 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 offers a unique educational opportunity to the midshipmen, 

generally, while providing both faculty and midshipmen with a valuable and 

convenient reference source for the study 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, Rickover Hall, and in other buildings throughout the 

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

including the famous Henry Huddleston Rogers Collection; a superb collection 

of 13 historical marine paintings by Edward Moran; the Beverley R. Robinson 

Collection of naval battle prints; an outstanding collection of items relating to the life 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; valuable collections of manuscripts and extensive photographic nies: 

and thousands of other significant items relating to the history of the Navy, 

the Marine Corps, and the Naval Academy. Included are collections of personal items of Decatur, Farragut, Dewey, Sims, Halsey, and other renowned 

American naval leaders. Museum items in Bancroft Hall include the flag 

hoisted by Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry at the Battle of La.ke Erie on 

which were emblazoned the immortal words of the dying James Lawrence, 

"Don't Give Up The Ship!"

The U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association 

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

whose mission is to serve and support the United States, the naval service, 

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

men and women to enter the Naval 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 
"The challenge to 011r 

country on tlie seas 

today is greater than 

ever before in our 

history, and only highly 

motivated, well educated, and thoro11ghly 

trained young men will 

be capable of helping 

our Navy to answer the 

challenge."

and which bind its alumni together in support of the highest ideals of command, citizenship, and government. 

All former midshipmen of the Naval Academy are eligible for membership 

in the Association. Associate membership is available to a limited number of 

persons who have demonstrated their interest in and support of the Navy, the 

Naval Academy, or the Alumni Association. 

National headquarters of the more than 20,000-member association is 

located in Alumni House, just a block outside the Academy's gate. Constructed in 1739, and originally named Ogle Hall, it has served as the home of 

three Maryland governors. Alumni House has been beautifully restored and 

furnished by members of the Association. Files and records are maintained 

there on all who have taken the oath of office as midshipmen at the Naval 

Academy since its founding in 1845. 

In addition to serving its members through such activities as publication of 

an annual Register of Alumni, publication of the monthly alumni magazine, 

Shipmate, support of class and chapter organizations, and the offering of 

group life insurance, medical, and investment programs, the Alumni Association serves as a major source of private funds for the many needs of the 

Academy and the Brigade which cannot be met by federal funding. The 

Alumni Association is also the designated coordinator for all other organizations supporting the Naval Academy. 

The United States Naval Institute 

With headquarters in Annapolis, the U. S. Naval Institute is the professional 

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

than 63,000 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.S. and foreign citizens interested in events and developments throughout the worldwide maritime community. Members pay annual dues and receive the lnstitute's monthly professional journal, the U. S. Naval Institute Proceedings, and are entitled 

to purchase Naval Institute books, as well as those of other publishers, at 

reduced prices. 

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

guides and manuals, scientific and technical works, and studies in naval 

history.

obligation freely, witlro11t any mental reservation or p11rpose of evasion, and that I 

will well and fartl1f11/ly discharge tire d11t1es of tire office 011 wlriclr I am abo11t to enter; 

so Help \.fe God" 

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

voluntanly brnd yourself by its terms. You will also sign your name as a record to 

your oath. Thrs must not be a perfunctory procedure rn any sense, and you should 

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

Each will also be required to subscribe to the followrng agreement under oath 

"For and III cons,deratio11 of the privileges, opport1111ities, and benefits afforded me 

d11ring tire co11tin11a1rce of my service as a midshipman, I agree to and with tire 

S11peri11tendent of the United States Naval Academy, as follows: 

"First; To enter the service of the Navy of tire United States and, to the utmost of 

my power a11d ability, to be 111 everytlring conformable and obedie11t to the several 

req11rrements and lawful commands of tire officers who may be placed over me. 

"Second: I oblige myself, during s11clr servrce, to comply with and be subject to the 

U111form Code of Military ]11strce and such other laws and regulations as are or 

shall be established by the Congress of tire United States or other competent authority. 

"Third: To s11bmit to treatme11t for the prevent,011 of smallpox, typhoid (typhoid 

prophylaxis), a11d to such other preverrtive measures as may be co11sidered necessary by naval authorrtres." 

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

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

Permit to Report issued by the Superrntendent, U. 5. Naval Academy. Living 

199 
"/11 110 other profession 

are the pe1111/ties for employing untrained perso1111el so 11pp111/i11g or so 

irrevocable as in the 

military." 

GENERAL DOUGLAS MACARTHUR 

accommodations in the city of Annapolis are limited, and candidates a.re 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 faolities between Washington and Annapolis and between Baltimore and Annapolis a.re 

limited. 

Midshipmen who are involuntarily separated from the Naval Academy prior to 

repayment of the entrance credit, are required to turn ,n all articles of uniform and 

equipment deemed su,table for reissue, to an amount sufficient to liquidate their indebtedness. If reclaimed articles are insufficient to cover the indebtedness, parents will 

be given an opportunity to pay the remaining debt; failing this, the remainder of the 

debt is cancelled. Midshipmen applying for voluntary separation for their own convenience are required to repay in full the amount of indebtedness prior to separation. 

Every candidate must present a 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, one should be obtained based on the length of 

expected employment as a m1dsh1pman. 

Upon entrance, midshipmen will be required to obtain a regulation entrance outfit from the Midshipmen's Store. Mechanical drawing sets are included in the outfit. 

After being admitted to the Naval Academy, midshipmen receive travel and 

transportation allowances as prescribed in Joint Travel Regulations (ordinarily, 

mileage allowance of 10 cents per mile for authorized travel). Midshipmen will be 

reimbursed for the actual cost of their fares in commercial ships provided no government transportation was available. In those cases in which travel originates outside the United States, candidates must contact the nearest naval activity for information as to the avaHability of government transportation before endeavoring 

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

to be reimbursed after becoming a midshipman. 

Candidates admitted as midshipmen are required to submit documentary evidence 

of birth to the Superintendent, U. 5. Naval Academy. A certified copy of the public 

record of birth is the best evidence. Supportmg evidence will be required if the 

name on the evidence of birth is not identical with the name of the candidate. 

Except for candidates entering the Academy as citizens of certain foreign countries, 

as provided by law, all candidates born outside the United States must show proof 

of U 5. citizenship in the form of a Department of State, consular, or other governmental report of birth. 

Each qualified candidate, before being admitted as a m1dsh1pman, must deposit 

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

cover in part the cost of uniforms, clothing, te~tbooks, etc. The deposit is not 

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

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

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

the Registrar.

Graduate Education Programs 

"No man who is 

ocwpied in doing a 

very diffiwlt t/1ing, 

and doing it very well, 

ever loses his selfrespect." 

GtaRCE 8CRNARD SHAW 

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

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

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

number of graduate scholarships. Several of these scholarships require en.rollment 

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

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

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

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

graduate studies at a later time in their careers. 

JUNIOR LINE OFFICER ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC EDUCATIONAL 

(BURKE) PROGRAM 

The Burke Program is open to five qualified midshipmen in each graduating class 

for advanced study in the fields of science and engineering. A master's degree is attainable, and school attendance (usually at the Naval Postgraduate School) begins 

following a post-commissioning operational tour of two to four years. 

U. 5. MARINE CORPS BURKE EQUIVALENT PROGRAM 

Open to five qualified midshipmen each year who are entering the Marine Corps. 

Participation in the Burke Equivalent Program allows those selected to be guaranteed 

being sent to graduate school approximately two years after commissioning. The field 

of study for each Burke Equivalent Program selectee is chosen by the student from an 

extensive list of approved disciplines. 

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM 

Nationally known scholarships or fellowships are available to qualified graduates of 

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

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

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

years are the following:
