Catalog 1982-1983 

Annapolis, Maryland 
To prepare midshipmen 

moral/ mentally, and physically 

to be 

in the naval sennce. 

4.g:& 
The Choice is Yours! 

W hen we ask our more thoughtful midshipmen what brought 

them lo the Naval Academ), lhe answer usually comes around 

to the superior opporlumt1es olfered at Annapolis. You can 

expect to gel a i1rst rate education while choosing among eight engineering, 

six science and four humanities majors. The opporturnty exists to play on 

one or more of the twentv-one men's or eight women's \'arsity teams against 

the best competition in the country, take part in O\'erse\'ent1· other stimulating 

extra-curricular acli\'ities, and sail 111 Navv ships overseas during the summer. 

You can decide to serve on the ground or fly as a Marine, train as a naval 

a\'iator or flight officer, or become a surface ship or submarine officer with 

a unique opportunity to study and gain experience in nuclear power. If 1•ou 

are a woman, any duty available to men 1s open to rou except for permanent 

assignments that might place you in a combat situation. No other military 

instttution offers such a wide range of options. 

If you ha1·e done well with the opportunities available to vou both in and 

outside of school, are physically active and enjo} a l'lgorous and challenging 

life, there is a high likelihood you will succeed al the Naval Academy. 

This is the opportunity of a lifetime. Is 1I for vou7

CHAPTER I 

Why the Naval Academy? 

Time Hasn't Changed Our Mission 

I f you have picked up this catalog and thumbed through it this far, 

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

Perhaps it is only a fleeting one prompted by curiositv. Or, conceivably, 

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

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

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

other schools cannot? What will the Naval Academy expect of me? What wiU 

I get out of it in the long run7 In short, why should I consider the Naval 

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

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

Service to Country 

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

Academy is to prepare young men 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, if it is to come, develops in due 

time It is considered necessary, however, that you arrive here free of preconceived goals toward some enti.rely different area of endeavor. If your 

primary interest lies in such fields as law, educatwn, medicine, nursing, the 

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

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

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

You should be prepared 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 

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

vou are to fully justify taking your place in the entering class.

Education 

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

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

founding 111 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 outside relationships, has broadened the requirements for the undergraduate educalton of its officers at 

Annapolis. 

Professional, seagoing, shipboard subjects are still required of each graduate, but, beyond these, each midshipman now chooses from many areas of 

study, ranging from engineering through oceanography, and mathematics 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 

engineenng, scientific, or mathematics maiors. Other midshipmen may major 

111 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 mllitary training, physical train111g, and the 

111culcat1on of the ideas of the naval profession. The purpose of the overall 

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

are fully ready to 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 tha t the 

training program 1s a spare-time adjunct to the educational program. It 1s allencompass111g and its ac1tv1hes pervade the four-year course through all the 

months of the year. 

Thus, you should fully appreciate that the ultimate ob1ective of the leadership training that begins here at Annapolis is to produce officers who can 

nse to command-profess1011al officers who are physically 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 

on accomplishment. 

Characteristically, President Harry Truman cut to the essence of command 

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

of what the responsibility of command 1s all about, however, and still re10 

"far /,cl/er ,t is to dare

11/ti111ately responsible for the safe naviga/1011, e11gi11een11g, 

pe1for111a11ce, acrnrate gunfire, and morale of Ins ship. He 1s the 

co11111w11di11g officer. He is the ship." 

Years at Annapolis 

The plebe vear at Annapolis is tough It 1s a vear of academic and professional 

development 1n a new and different environment You will certainly feel 

pressure and stress m the process and will find it necessary to learn to uhhze 

time beller than you ever have before. The challenge will be total. mental, 

moral, and physical. For the entire year 

Be,·ond plebe vear, the Acadenw applies its regulations and its s,·stem of 

accountabilitv to you with decreasmg seventy until. during your first class 

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

will do and where you will go Along with that increased freedom, howe,·er, 

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

responsibility for running the Brigade Student government was a realil:) at 

the Naval Academy long before it was being discussed at most other instituhons It's part of your trammg here. 

\our four years at Annapolts will not be easy ones. No achie,·ement so 

worthwhile is ever easy. And few achievements are so satisfying. B) the time 

you graduate, you will have developed \'Our potentials of scholastic achievement, physical condition, and leadership ability to the best possible ad,·antage. 

Travel and the Sea 

The Naval Academy is linked \,·1th the sea through its history, its mission, 

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

see ocean-going ships in the Chesapeake on their way to and from Baltimore. 

Whatever the month, you will usually see part of the Academy's fleet of more 

than LOO small-craft-sail and power-underway on the Severn River or out 

on the Bay. 

Perhaps you have never thought much about the sea; perhaps \'OU have 

lived near and known it well all your life; perhaps you ha,·e never known 

much about it but it has alwavs spelled ad,·enture, travel, and excitement for 

12 
you. \\'haten~r vour situation, you should not think seriously about Annapolis 

without also thinking about the sea. 

Two of vour tour summers at the Academy will be devoted to training 111 

ships of the :--:an·. ,\fter \·our plebe year, your \·otmgster cruise ma\ take 

you to ports along the East or \\ est coasts, to the Caribbean, or to distant 

ports in Europe or the Far East. Recent Academ) cruises ha\ e gone to a 

number of \lediterranean and \.orthern European countries, as well as to 

Hawaii, Australia, Japan, and Hong Kong 111 the Pac1ltc 

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

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

vear S1m1larh·, when vou go on vour first class cruise the summer precedmg 

your last academic year at the :\cadem\, you will ha\·e an opportunit) to 

stand the watches or a 1u111or officer, applying again a portion of \'our 

professional training and education. And, once again, \·ou ma\ tram m L S. 

coastal waters or v1s1t ports m Europe or the Far East 

The ties bt!lween practical work at sea and academJC work at Annapolis are 

symbolic of the balance between trammg and education that is at the heart 

of the Annapolis program. 

Professionalism 

This is the word used at Annapolis toda\ to express the commitment to 

e'\cellence that has marked our program smce the founding of the Naval 

Academ,· more than a centurv and a quarter ago. It expresses many thmgs--

but at the heart of it is the desire for sernce to countrv with which this chapter 

started The m1dsh1pmen themseh-es have a good phrast' they use when 

asked if a p,irticular pl•rson should come to the Academ\. Thev Sa\', "You 

have to want 1t" ·1 hat really sa,·s 1t all 

It's up to vou.

CHAPTER II 

The Years 1845-1982 

T hrough the vears 1845 to 1982, as the nat10n's responsib1lities and 

need for sea power ha, e grown, the Nav, has increased great!\· 111 

size and complexity. Keeping pace, m peace and war, from sail to 

steam, and mto the nuclear age, the Na\'al Academ, has responded to e\'ery 

challenge, improving its facilities and rev1smg its program and 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 Na\'al School in 1845 b) the 

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

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 facultv of four officers and three civilians taught 

gunnery, naval tactics, engineenng, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, 

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

three at sea, and back to the School for the fifth Sixtv midshipmen, comprismg 

two classes, attended the Academy's first convocation 

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

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

cruises provided the m1dsh1pmen with seagomg expenence to augment their 

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

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

100 years ago. 

The forerunner of today's Board of Visitors first met at the Academy 111 

1851 During the Civil War, the Bngade of M1dsh1pmen was moved temporarily to the more secure surroundings of Newport, Rhode Jsland. Following 

the war, the Brigade returned to Annapolis to stay During these earlv vears, 

the Academy was one of the few institulions in Amenca offering a sophisticated, technical undergraduate program. In 1879, this excellence was recognized by the Pans Exposition m the form of a certificate for the "Best System 

of Education in the united States."

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

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

while 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. Thus, it is no surprise that the sc,ence wing of the Academy's 

science and mathematics complex is named Michelson I !all. Another distinguished graduate of these early years was Alfred Thayer Mahan, whose 

profound writings on seapower and its influences on history a.re still a world 

standard in the field The Academy's clock-towered Mahan Hall is named in 

his honor. 

Begmning in 1883, Marine officers were commissioned from the Naval 

Academy Joining the succession of graduates who have served with distinction 

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

Halse,, Spruance, and Burke and Marine Commandants Lejeune, Russell, 

Greene, and Cushman have earned their place in history. So, also, have 

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

Hvman G. Rickover, "father of the nuclear Navy" and a 1922 graduate of 

Annapolis for whom Rickover Hall, our recently completed engineering complex has been named, has personified the Na,f s nuclear power program for 

a generation. And, highest honor of all, a 19-+6 graduate, President Jimmy 

Carter, held the world's attention and the hopes of his countn·men for 

leadership as Amenca's 39th President. The successors to these graduates, 

preparing to meet a new generation of challenges, are here as midshipmen 

today 

Following accreditation of the Naval Academy in 1930 by the Association 

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

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

beginnmg 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 Academv in 19-!7. And, 

in 1958, tests of the College Entrance Exammation Board replaced Academyprepared 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 "overloads," introduced in 1959, marked the end 

of the Academy's traditional fixed curriculum. This was followed by the 

introduction of the Trident Scholars program in 1963; the advent of the 

16 
Academv's first civilian Academic Dean and the introduction of minors and 

(for some) maJors programs of study, both in 19&1, and, in 1970, the adoption 

of a required maiors program for all m1dsh1pmen. Designated Bachelor of 

Science degrees m certain engmeering ma1ors were first awarded b) the 

Academy in 1969. Currently, seven engineering maiors lead to designated 

degrees. All are nationally accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technolog, (ABET). 

An Academic Advisory Board of d1stingu1shed Americans, formed bv the 

Secretary of the '\/avy to advise and counsel the Superintendent on academic 

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

Leg1slataon authorizmg the adm1ss1on of women to the servICe academies 

"consistent with the needs of the services" was signed b} President Ford m 

October 1975 The Naval Academy admitted its first women midshipmen (81) 

on 6 Jul) 1976 Subsequent classes have averaged 90-100 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.S. 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 davlight 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. Fort Severn's 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 1959 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, French Renaissance. 

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

construction of Mitscher Hall, containing an inter-faith chapel, a chaplain's 

center, and an auditorium; the construction of Halsey Field House; and the 

construction, with privately donated funds, of the nearby I avy-1\1arine Corps 

Memorial Stadium. A multimillion-dollar renovation of Bancroft Hall was 

completed in 1965. 

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

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

18 
and mementoes commemorahng the deeds of our great naval heroes and 

honoring the Navy's finest trad1hons. 

Currentlv, a campus-\\'ide construction and rehabilitation plan nears completion. Kev structures completed in this plan include the science building, 

Michelson Hall, and the ad1oi111ng mathematics building, Chauvenet liall, 

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

capacity ..'\imitL Libran. was completed in 1973 An ad1acent engineenng 

building and laboratorv complex, Ricko\'er Hall, was completed in 1975. Newto-the-walls interiors, including completelv modern classrooms and laboratories, have been pro\'1ded in Maurv, Sampson, and Luce I !alls A full range 

ot facilities and services for student and facultv research, computer-aided 

education, and educational television is available throughout the academic 

complex All academic areas are a1r-condiltoned 

In recent vears, pri\ ately donated funds from friends and alumni ha\'e 

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

the Intercollegiate Sailing Hall of Fame and new waterfront headquarters for 

our sailing program. These funds ha\'e also provided a beautiful activity 

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

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

of a new athlehc facilitv, Lejeune Hall, featuring an Olympic-size pool and 

di\'ing facililtes was completed ad1acent to the Field I louse 111 1981. 

The center for daily hving 1s Bancroft Hall, one of the largest dormitory 

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

4 SOD-member Brigade All of the basic facihhes for dail} living, as well as 

many for recreation, are found in Bancroft Hall.

CHAPTER III 

Life at Annapolis 

T he aval Academy is charged with t.he responsibility of preparing 

m1dsh1pmen for service as commissioned officers in the U.S. Navy 

or Marine Corps. ln fulfillment of this responsibility, the staff and 

faculty must ensure not only that the academic program is first-rate 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, midshipmen participate in 

intramural or varsity sports and other extracurricular activities. 

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

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

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

Moral Development 

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

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

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

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

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

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

ahead. For here, as future officers, midshipmen must constantly examine and 

evaluate their individual values in the clear light of the ethical requirements 

of the naval service. 

It is assumed al the Naval Academy that midshipmen will not lie, cheat, 

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

by example lo recogniLe the common good, to build a community which 

23 

"Above all, you liave lo look 

past the little things, the 

frustrations, and keep a11 

overall vieu.1 111 vo1ir 111111d 

of what the purpose of it nil 

is and why you came here. 

You can't lose sight of 

that, or it ca11 really get 

you down."

shares concern for its members, and to make difficult ethical choices. They 

learn to do their du! 1·, to take careful oversight of their subordinates, and to 

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

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

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

graduates are better officers because of 1t. 

Organization 

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

the student body is organized mto 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 dutv, honor, and 

lovalty; for providmg 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 

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

and the Midshipmen Supply Department. 

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 captams and maiors. These officers work in close daily contact with 

the n11dsh1pmen in Bancroft Hall. Here, b1 precept and example; the application of sound techmques of leadership, counsel, and guidance; and, when 

required, corrective or disciplinary acllon, midshipmen are measured, 

molded, and motivated for the day when the~ will join the Naw or the 

Marine Corps as commissioned officers. 

Bancrott Hall (affectionately known as ".\fother B") houses the entire Brigade of Midshipmen. The majority live two or three to a room. In each of the 

36 companv areas in Bancroft Hall there is a wardroom for informal meetmgs, 

reading, or watchmg television Fleet Admiral Ernest J King Hall, a large, 

air-conditioned dining hall extending seaward from Bancroft Hall, accommodates the entire Brigade, famil~>-stvle, for meals. Also included in Bancroft 

Hall are small Catholic, Protestant, and inter-faith chapels, with chaplams' 

offices adjoimng; a midshipmen's store for necessities and an occasional gift; 

tailor and u111form shops, and three barber shops, a bookstore, a cobbler 

24 
shop, a post office, recreation rooms, bowlmg alleys, and a snack bar ("The 

Steerage"). On weekends, Memorial Hall, Smoke Hall, and the nearby activity 

center m Dahlgren Hall provide attractive settings for dances and other 

recreational activities. 

For purposes of militarv training and administration, the Bngade 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 

orgamzational umt for numerous competitive activities during the year. 

Each of the 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 midshipmmen staff and assistants. Midshipmen are selected for 

these commands and staffs on the basis of their leadership abilities and their 

other demonstrated officer-like qualities.

Years of Development 

fhe incoming midshipmen are officially designated midshipmen fourth class. 

but are tradit10nally 1--nown as plebes. In succeeding years, they become third 

classmen or n1ungsters, then second clas,men, and finally, m their senior 

vear. midshipmen first class. 

Plebe Year. fhe new midshipmen undergo a comprehens1\·e program of 

m1litarv training and indoctrination from the day they enter in early July until 

the end of their plebe year the following .\la). Dem,mds upon them and upon 

their spare time, all with good reason, seem ne\'er-endmg. ;\hdsh1pmen 

qui(kly disco\'er during this period that thev are learning subordinates, under 

close supernsion and careful guidance. Plebe indoctrination 1s administered 

b\· m1dsh1pmen of the first class, assisted b,· the second cla,smen, and close!) 

supt•rnsed by the Commandant and the Brigade Officers. 

,\!though some form of militan· training is found at many American colleges 

and uni\'ers1ties, the rigorous routines and challenges of a plebe indoctrination 

systt•m are unique to tht• sernce academies. Complementing other phases of 

midshipmen trammg and education, the s,·stem directh· supports the :\a\·al 

Acadt·my's m1ss10n b~· de\'eloping leadership abilities and a basic understandmg of the militan ennronment Its aim is to teach each plebe to:

l'lebe n•ar 1s designed to test and de\·elop. It 1s a demanding period, 

requiring midshipmen to stand on their own leet, to produce under pressure, 

to respond prompth and intelligent!~ to orders and, fmall), to measure up 

to the highest standards of character, honor, and morahtv. 

The first dav of plebe summer b a da\' that most m1dsh1pmen will remember 

fore\'er This 1s scarcely surprising, lor in one schedule-crammed day, ci\'ilians 

are transformed mto midsh1pnwn and begin ad1usting to a strange and 

challenging wav of life. It's quite a shock. They are given haircuts, pose for

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: "I .. having been appointed a midshipman in the 

United Stales 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 e\'erywhere in Bancroft hall-giving orders, instructing, challenging every 

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

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

time lo collapse into bed. 

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

day in which to excel," as they sa} 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 behmd. 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic 

skills m seamanship, navigation, and signaling. Infantry drilJ, firing a .4.5 

calibre pistol, sailing :--Ja,·y vawls, handling minesweeping launches (MSL's), 

and participating in a rigorous physical conditioning program contribute to 

makmg each m1dsh1pman a proudly versatile individual. Team spirit and the 

desire to wm are de\'eloped through competition in a wide range of activities, 

including athletics, dress parades, seamanship drills, and talent shows. 

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

parents of the new midshipmen ha\'e the opportunitv to \·isit the Academy 

and enjoy the weekend with their sons and daughters. A dress parade, 

exhib1t1ons m sports, dining and sailing with their midshipmen, and the 

opportunity to meet the faculty and company officers help assure parents 

that their sons and daughters are taking their new life at Annapolis in stride 

Upperclassmen return from at-sea training, leave, and other summer activities the following week. Plebe summer is o\·er, but plebe indoctrination 

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

begun, paced by a demanding daily schedule ...

to Philadelph,a for the annual donnvbrook with the Blad, Knights of the

December exam111allons end the first semester, and midshipmen of all 

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

the first opportumtv to visit their homes s111ce their arm al at the Naval 

Academy 111 early July, and gives all m1dsh1pmen a welcome break 111 the 

academic routine. Leave ends and classes resume 111 mid-Janua ry Later in

on a month or more of training at sea with the Fleet, accompanied b,· 

midshipmen of the first class At-sea training 1s followed b, about 30 da,·s

During their first taste of life at sea 111 the Nan, the midshipmen come to

First Class Year. Dunng 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 opportunitv to assume the responsibilities and perform the duties of 

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

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

Annapolis during the summer. 

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

1s exposed to the social courtesies, amenities, and customs of wardroom ltfe 

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 dunng 

their training cruises, although some ships may remain in U S. coastal waters. 

Depending on their ship assignment, ,·isits ma~· be made to such places as 

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

-10 
Gibraltar, Spain, France, Ital\', and Greece in the 11.lediterranean; and I lolland, 

Germam, Denmark. and :'\lorwa\' m i\orthern Europe 

,ear summer's end, first classmen return to the Academ, to continue their 

academic studies-their pnnc1pal responsib1hl\ throughout the four vears at 

Annapohs--and to undertake their important new responsibilities for directmg the Bngade of Midshipmen. Midshipmen officers, called "stnpers," lead 

the Brigade m parades, ceremonies, and at dailv formations. The, are responsible for the conduct, m1litan smartness, and competiti\'e records of 

their units. Thev are in charge of the midshipman watch organization in 

Bancroft Hall The selecllon of three sets of m1dsh1pmen officers dunng each 

academic vear increases the ind1,·idual opportunity for this valuable leadership 

experience The third, or Commissioning Week set of stripers, 1s selected by 

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

In carn·ing out these demanding responsibilities, the first class midshipmen 

must call upon all the leadership skills the,· ha,·e developed dunng their first 

three years at Annapolis Following this final vear of practical leadership 

experience, thev find themselves \\'ell prepared at graduation to assume their 

responsibilities in the '\aq or the \.larine Corps as newh· commissioned 

officers. 

The Honor Concept 

.-\ total commitment to the highest standards of honor, duty, and responsibility 

is a ,·ital goal in each midshipman's professional de,·elopment at Annapolis. 

Here, the Honor Concept of the Bngade of ~lidshipmen plavs a kev role. B,· 

pro\'lding gu1dmg precepts-a set of principles to live bv, rather than a set 

of regulation-the Honor Concept sets forth high standards of mtegritv for 

all midshipmen and guides them m measunng up to the~e standards in 

e\'eryda,· situations. 

There is simplr no place at the ,a, al Academ, for l\'lng, cheating, or 

stealing \"iolations usually lead to dismissal The Concept makes this clear. 

But the Concept is more than an administrat1,·e de\'lce for dealing with moral 

failure at the '\a val Academ). B, fostenng the development of lasting moral 

pnnc1ples, 1t becomes part and parcel of the profe,sio1ia/1s111 e>.pected of our 

graduates as commissioned officers 

The Honor Concept 1s midsh1pman-concei\'ed and supported-a living, 

operational s,·stem at Annapolis, with each class of m1dsh1pmen part1c1patmg 

throughout the vear m its interpretation and administration through their 

elected Company I lonor Representatin~s to the Brigade Honor Committee.

The Professional Training Program 

The Commandant directs the Academv's professional training program. He 

is assisted by the Director of Professional Development Encompassing a wide 

range of training, studies, and drills, the program is designed to provide 

graduates with a sound foundation in the fundamental specialized subjects 

and skills required of professional officers in the f\.avy or Manne Corps. 

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

years at the Academv. Class standing at graduation and seniority as a newly 

commissioned officer depends significantly on a midshipman's professional 

tra1n1ng 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 

m1d<h1pmen learn by doing. Progressing from basic military and na,·al knowledge to the presentation of more advanced information and concepts, the 

program supports and complements both the military life within the Brigade 

and the professionally oriented academic courses A description of the courses, 

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

page 137.

supervision of officers of the Seamanship and Navigation Department under 

the Academy's Director oJ Professional De\·elopment. The organization and 

operations of the YP Squadron are similar to those of Navv destroyer squadrons on duty around the world. 

The midshipman selected as the squadron commodore 1s responsible for 

the overall performance and excellence of the squadron in proficienc\' competition, inspecllons, and on cruises Midshipmen assisting the commodore 

include a chief staff officer, two division commanders, and an administrative 

officer. Completing the staff is an engmeenng officer who super\'1ses training 

111 engmeering and ensures proper operation and mainten;ince of engineenng 

equipment. 

Each of the squadron's six SO-foot vard patrol craft 1s commanded bv a

Physical Education 

Jn supporting the mission of the Naval Academy, the program ol the Physical 

Education Department makes a v1lal contribution to the physical development 

of midshipmen. The program cont1m1es throughout the four years. All midshipmen participate 

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

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

develop the capability to train and instruct others, and to develop the background and capability to withstand ph,•s1cal hardship. Equally important, the 

program aims to be en1oyable, to pro\'ide a release from the academic routine, 

to develop a lasting appredation for ~ports 111 general, and lo develop individual skills in carry-over sports for enjoyment after graduation.

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 111 times of special stress? What 

makes them capable of decisions that disregard personal expediency? The 

answer lies in the spiritual dimension that guides their lives. 

Protestant, Catholic and Jewish services, in both traditional and contemporary form, are held each week. The midshipmen may also attend any of 

the churches in the community. While attendance at religious services is 

optional, midshipmen are reminded that, as officers of the naval service, their 

personal beliefs will often be tested, and that, in time of stress, their subordinates will look to them for spiritual as well as professional guidance. The 

Naval Academy has long believed that future officers owe 1t to themselves 

and to those they will lead to gain insights into moral, ethical, and spiritual 

dimensions of military leadership and, therefore, urges each midshipman to 

take full advantage of opportunities here for worship and moral development. 

From the first day of plebe summer until the day of commjssioning, four 

years later, the Academy's staff of six chaplains sen•es and administers to the 

needs of the Brigade of Midshipmen. Among other things, the, provide 

personal counseling ranging from faith-centered issues through crises of life 

and death to future marriage plans. 

In exercismg a ministry of "presence" throughout the daily hfe of the 

48 
Brigade, chaplains sponsor and part1c1pate in Bible studies, prayer groups, 

and instruction classes; l'isit in compa111 areas, lead the praver at evening 

meal; and are inl'olved m a host of other Bngade activities-all of which are 

designed lo share and build lasting spiritual resources and to cultil'ate the

Counseling Services and Programs 

The Dll'lsion of Professional De,·elopment prol'ides a range of counseling 

services and programs A staff of doctoral-level psvchologists is available to 

help with ad1ustment, developmental, interpersonal, academic, vocational, 

and stress-related problems. Programs for tension control, weight control, 

alcohol educat10n, and certain physical education deficiencies are also offered. 

And, final11·, a learning center offers help with management of time and with 

reading, writing, and study skills. 

Medical and Dental Care 

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

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

and periodic physical and dental examinations help keep midshipmen in 

excellent health If hospitalization is necessar)', midshipmen are sent to the 

National ;s.:aval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland

CHAPTER IV 

The Naval Profession 

0 urs 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 

teshmony to America's engineering genius, whose leaders advise 111 the 

highest councils of government, and whose l\larines stand second to none 

when tales of valor are told. Though ours is a vastly complicated and technological Navy, the human being is, in the end, all-important. It is an 

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

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

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

After four intensive years of learning at Annapolis, Naval Academy graduates are fully ready to assume the responsibilities of an officer in the greatest 

Navy or Marine Corps in the world. Every physically qualified graduate 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 

Congressional legislation has amended the long-standing law that prohibited 

women from serving onboard Navy ships llr aircraft that are or could be 

engaged in combat missions. This legislation penrnts 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 11or111nlly 

perform a combat mission. \",•omen officers are eligible for temporary duty 

assignment (less than 180 days) to n1111 ship for which a combat mission is not 

en\'ls1oned during the temporary duty period. 

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

to sea in increasing numbers, the careeer patterns and dutv 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 majorit~ of their assignments to be ashore. So 

although a percentage of women officer graduates from the Naval Academy 

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

of women officer graduates will develop other specialities and pursue careers 

(occasionally at sea) 1n such areas as administration, communications. computer science, engmeenng, environmental science, legal. or research and 

development, to name just a few 

Women accepting a comm1ss1on m the Manne Corps ma~ be assigned to 

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

place them m a combat situation. Thus, all military occupational specialties 

are available to women Marine officers except infantry, artillery, tanks, and 

combat flying. 

First Duty 

An Annapolis graduate's first career opportunity comes m the mihal choice 

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

graduate and receive their commissions. Career options a\ ailable--on land, 

sea, under the sea, and in the air-are b\' far the broadest offered b~ anv of 

the service academies. The pnority assigned individual duty preferences 1s 

dependent upon the needs of the sen-ice and the individual's class standing 

and phvsical and other personal qualifications. Even· attempt is made to 

assign graduates to the duty and locality thev request. 

The principal dut1 assignments for the 960 (900 men, 60 women) members 

of the Class of 1981 commissioned m the U.S :\'an· and i\lanne Corps at 

graduation (where qualified, almost all were granted their first choice) included the following: 

Surface Ships (com·enllonalll' powered): 195 men, 'i women 

Nuclea r Powe r Tra ining: 220 men (201 submarine-bound, remainder to 

surface ships) 

Subma rine Stra tegic Weapons: IO men 

Aviation: Pilot rraining-222 men, 5 women, Flight Officer Training 117 

men, 5 women 

U. S. Marine Corps: 10, men, 9 women 

Sh.ty-fil·e midshipmen (29 men, 36 women), including,, number not plwsically qualified for the above duties, elected and were as~1gned to such field, 

as cn-ptology engineering, law, administration, commu111cat10n~. mtelh52 
gence, supply, aviation maintenance, strategic weapons, salvage and rescue, 

and geoph\'sics 

Whatever the initial operational dutv, officers usually find that the responsibtl1ties assigned are greater than those of their contemporaries in civilian 

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

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

choose to go to sea mitially on a surface ship (e.g., aircraft carrier, cruiser, 

destroyer, or 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 qualify 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 the advanced degrees are available to a small 

number of new graduates. Normally these special programs will folio~, a tour 

of sea duty Prospective aviators may elect to go directly to flight school or 

they may go to sea with the Fleet two vears before entering flight training. 

One out of every six Annapolis graduates may volunteer for appointment 

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

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

officers, run by officers. After this familiarization training, the Marine lieutenant will receive formal training in the occupational specialty he or she 

chooses. Career field choices include the combat arms, aviation, mtelligence, 

logistics, engineers, air traffic control, data processing, supply and communications Upon completion of training, the lieutenant will be assigned to a 

regular Manne Corps unit. 

Officers not physically qualified for the options described above may select 

duty m one of the staff corps or restricted line branches of the Navy or Marine 

Corps 

Officer Career Patterns 

W1th111 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 

peformance. After the initial tour, most voung officers have a fairly well 

developed idea of what specialty thev 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 urnt. Tours of duty 

ashore occur at regular intervals. Officers aspiring to command at sea will 

ser\'e in a number of ships or aircraft squadrons in different capacities, as

Officer Education and Training 

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

momentarily, but their theoretical and practical education will continue as 

long as they are 1n the service. From graduation day forward, they wtll 

continue to prepare for assignments of greater responsibility and profess10nal 

attainment by acquiring practical expenence ashore and afloat and through 

advanced academic work. The extent of attainment 1s limited only by ability, 

initiative, energy, and resourcefulness, commensurate with logical career 

planning and execution. 

The Naval Academy 1s 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 which are designed to prepare 

officers for higher responsibilities. 1 his move toward graduate education 

begins before graduation for those midshipmen selected for scholarships in 

civilian uniYersities or for Navy- and \.larine Corps-sponsored graduate programs. 

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

var\· w1deh but all are taught at graduate 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, many graduates are selected for the nuclear 

power training program. Sponsored jointly by the Navy and the Energy 

Research and Development Administration, this training 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 Academy graduates may expect 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 educational programs in the fields of management, economics, 

tactics, and international relations and for relating these studies to our global 

strategy Officers who aspire to pos1llons of high responsibility must, of 

necessity, continue to grow intellectually and thus be students during all of 

their professional lives. 

The ever-increasing importance of our Na,y in the defense of this country 

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

an unprecedented number of career opportunities for Navy and Marine Corps 

officers. Fleet and field operational experience continues to be an important 

constant in the career pattern, and the need for specialists trained in technical 

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

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

of an educated officer. This commitment has been made and reaffirmed 

throughout the Navy at every level of leadership. A career officer becomes 

a part of this commitment, and thus every Naval Academy graduate can be 

assured that his or her professional talents and intellectual ability will be 

enhanced by educational opportunities and by assignments that fully challenge interests and capabilities.

CHAPTER V 

Admissions 

E ach year, the Naval Academy's Admissions Board selects approximately 1,300 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 adm1ss1on. The number of minority students in recent entering classes 

has risen sharply The Class of 1985 included 163 midshipmen (about 12 

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 1 July in the year of admission. 

They must be unmarried, not pregnant, and have no children and, except for 

limited quotas of foreign midshipmen specifically authorized by Congress, 

must be citizens of the United States 

Meeting these requirements, prospective candidates must then proceed to 

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

and be selected for entry. The Adm1ss1ons 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 competihon for selection 1s based on all of the above factors. 

High School Program 

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

a ngorous college program. The qualify of the work 1s important. Eighty-two 

percent of the members of the class of 1985 ranked 111 the top 20 percent of 

their high school classes. Chances for admission are very limited for those

Applicants should submit a Precandidate Questionnaire to the Naval Academ) 

in the spnng of their 111mor year or as soon thereafter as practicable. The 

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

and evaluations will be provided to applicants bv early summer. lnformat10n 

gathered in the preadmiss1on file \\'Ill also be used bv the Acadenw to provide 

the applicant's Congressman with periodic status reports, including a prehmman· evaluation of the applicant, results of the medical exam111ahon, and 

other information which mav assist the applicant in being selected for a 

Congressional nomination. Precandidate Questionnaires should be requested 

from the Director, Candidate Guidance (Box "C"), U.S. Naval Academy, 

Annapolis, :>.larvland 21-102. 

Candidate Guidance 

The Candidate Guidance Office 111 Lealw Hall at the Na, al Academy provides 

counsel to young men and women who are 111terested 111 a career of na, al 

service through Annapolis. This off1Ce also coordinates the nationwide activities of some l ,500 selected Naval Resen·e 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

Congressional Nominating Procedures 

Ten candidates mav be nominated for each vacanc1· a member of Congress 

has al the Naval Academy. At the member of Congress' discretion, nominees 

mav be designated as "pnnc1pal," "1st alternate," "2nd alternate," and so 

on to "9th alternate"; or thev may be nominated as a principal with nine 

competitive alternates for evaluation 61 the Naval Academy; or they may 

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

bv the Naval Academy for the vacancy. The top candidate on the list who is 

found to be completely qualified for admission by the Academv will be 

appointed. But this does not mean that the others are no longer considered 

In fact, if parltrnlarly welJ qualified, 1l 1s possible that they all may be accepted 

for admission as qualified alternates or competitors. 

Admission of Qualified Alternates and Competitors 

Each year the Nal'al Academy admits several hundred qualified alternates 

and qualtfied 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 for these appointments is necessarv, as all 

qualified candidates will be considered automaticallv bv the Academy's Admissions Board. 

Admission of Women 

ln meeting the "needs of the Servtce," it is estimated that the Naval Academy 

will be authorized by the Navv to admit approximate]) 100 women 111 the 

Class of 1987 The number of women who ma1• be appointed from each of 

the existing sources of nominations listed in this catalog is proportional to the 

total number of appointments authorized bv law for these sources. Women 

compete \\'1th men nominated from the same sources, except for children of 

Medal of Honor wmners, who are admitted without limit 1f qualified 

Women who hold Congressional principal nominations are admitted, if 

qualif1e<l, unless the number of women 111 line to receive an appointment 

from Congressional-type sources of appointment exceeds the number apportioned to these sources (the Vice President; L S. Senators and Representatives, Governors of Puerto Rico and 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 pnnc1pal 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 among the qualified 

alternates and competitors discussed above. 

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 pre\ 1ous entering dass may reopen their admissions files for a subsequent class by writing the Director of Candidate 

Guidance. A second Precandidate 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, manta! status, etc. Retaking of SAT'ACT tests is highly recommended. 

Additionally, for maximum benefit, any college or junior college work taken 

by candidates 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 1101 be past the 26th birthday 

on I July of the expected year of graduation from the Academy. ln 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 l 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 behavioral 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 vision seldom have 

difficulty in passing the examination. Candidates should carefully review the 

detailed medical standards contained in appendix B. Candidates having less 

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

careful note of the Eyes and Vision section, appendix B. Also note special 

examination requirements for those who wear contact lenses. 

66 
All medteal examinaltons of candidate~ are conducted at designated medical 

examining centers. Examinations are conducted m1/11 lor those candidates who 

ha\'t' been oific1allv scheduled bv the Department of Defense 'vled1cal Examination Re\'lew Board (DODMERB). I his agenc,· 1s responsible for scheduling and e\'aluating medical e,aminat1ons for all of the L, S service academies. The priorit,· of medical scheduling ol '\a,·al Academv candidates 1s 

determined by the Academy This prtKl'durl' 1s necessan because of the 

limited number and capacity of examining facilities a, ailable throughout the 

nation 

For some candidates, this means that the\' will not be scheduled tor a 

medical examination until thev are othennse found to be fullv qualified for 

admission and zn hne to bt• considered tor an appointment Other candidates 

may not be scheduled at all if, lor example, thev art• found to be scholasltcally 

unqualified by the Admiss10ns Board Howe,er, candidates mav be assured 

that that 1t thev tlrt' othern·1se fully qualified and are in a position to be

Service Obligation, Separations, and Resignations 

A midshipman entering the Naval Academy directlv from a civilian status 

assumes a six-year military service obligation, as pro\'lded by Title 10, U.S. 

Code, Section 651. If such a midshipman does not fulfill the Agreement to 

Serve detailed in the preceding section, the midshipman may be transferred 

to the Naval or Marine Corps Reserve in an enlisted status and may be 

ordered to active duty for such a penod of time as the Secretary of the Na\'y 

may prescribe but not for more than four years, as provided by Title 10, U.S. 

Code, Section 6965b. 

The following policies currently apply to midshipmen who enter the Naval 

Academy directly from a civilian status: 

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

classman who is separated, or whose resignation is accepted, will be discharged from the naval service 

Second and first classmen (Juniors and seniors): A second classrnan who 

is separated or whose resignation is accepted prior to the commencement of 

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

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

(after commencing the second class academic \'ear) or a first classrnan who 

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

to Serve detailed in the preceding section mav be transferred to the Naval or 

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

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

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

unfit, or unsuited for military service in an enlisted status. 

This authority is implemented as follows: Midshipmen who are separated 

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

but prior to the start of first class academic vear will serve two years. After 

the start of first class academic year the obligation 1s three years. If a midshipman graduates but refuses a commission, the obligation is four years. 

A midshipman entering the Naval Academy from the regular or resenre 

component of the Navy or Manne Corps, including midshipmen entering 

from the Naval Academy Preparatorv School, will not have h1s•her enlistment 

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

midshipmen appointment. If such a midshipman is separated from the Academy or has a resignation accepted prior to fulfilling the Agreement to Sen·e 

detailed in the preceding section, the midshipman will resume enlisted status 

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

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

part of an enlistment or period of obligated service, all service as a m1dsh1pman 

70 
is counted as service under that enlistment or period of obligated service. 

However, completion or partial completion of service obligation acquired by 

prior enlistment in no way exempts a separated or resigned midshipman from 

being transferred to the reserve component and ordered to active duty, the 

same as a midshipman who enters the Academy directly from a civilian status, 

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

A midshipman who either voluntarily or through misconduct fails to complete the active duty obligation imposed, either as a result of his commissioning 

(five years), or as a result of disenroUment (not more than four years) may 

be required to reimburse the United States for the cost of education received 

at the Naval Academy. The cost of education is computed by the Naval 

Academy and includes the costs of professors' salaries, supplies, and other 

expenses. It is comparable to the tuition at a first rate private civilian university. 

The amount to be reimbursed varies proportionally with the period of 

unserved obligation. If a former midshipman serves none of the active obligation, voluntarily or through misconduct, he or she may be required to 

reimburse the entire cost of education. If the midshipman completes part of 

the obligation, the amount which must be reimbursed will be reduced proportionally.

Naval Academy Preparatory School 

The Naval Academy Preparatory School, located in Newport, Rhode Island, 

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

century. Enlisted men and women study at the school from August to May. 

About one-fifth are from the regular Navy and l\!arine Corps, with the 

remainder from the reserves. 

The Preparatory School offers college preparatory work in mathemahcs, 

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

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

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

and varsity sports programs complete the school's program. 

Nominees in a regular or reserve Navy or l\!arine Corps status who are not 

successful m obtaining an appointment to the Na\"al Academv are considered 

auto111atically by the Naval Academy for admission to the Preparatory School. 

No special request for this consideration ts necessary 

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

promising and highly motivated of those civilian nominees who were not 

successful in gaining an appointment to the Naval Academy. Those selected 

are offered the opportunitv to enlist in the Naval Reserve for the express 

purpose of attending the Preparatory School Consideration for adm1ss1on to 

the Preparatory School is automatic. No special request 1s required. Details 

concerning this program are available from the Director of Candidate Guidance (Box "C"), U.S. Naval Academv, Annapolis, Md. 21402.

Q. What service select ions are available to women? 

A. Recently amended Federal law allows women to go 

to sea in ships which do not normally perform a combat 

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

perform noncombatant A1ght duties mvolving the landing 

of aircraft aboard ships at sea. However, because of 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. Currently, the ma1ority of 

women officer graduates will develop other specialties and 

pursue careers ashore in one of many areas including 

administration, communications, computer sC1ence, engineering, environmental science, legal, or research and development, to name just a few. It should be emphasized 

that most physically qualified women may expect to be 

commissioned in the line upon graduation from the Naval 

Academy. Other women graduates, including those not 

physically qualified for a line commission, have the opportunity to be commissioned in such restricted line or staff 

communities as the Supply Corps, the Civil Engineer 

Corps, the intelligence community, etc. As is the case with 

men, opportunities available to women at graduation are 

subject to current needs of the Navy. All Marine Corps 

occupational specialties are available to women officers 

except mfantry, artillery, tanks, and combat Aymg. 

Q. I don't know my Congressman. How do I get a no1111nation 7 

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

the representative of your Congressional district and to 

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

be considered carefully. (See Precandidate Questionnaire, 

pg. 61.) Each member of Congress may have five appointees 

attending the Academy at any one time. And each member 

may nominate up to ten candidates for each vacancy. The 

essential thing to remember is that, by law, you 11111st have 

a nomination to be considered for appointment. Once you 

are nominated, you officially become a candidate and your 

record can then be evaluated by the Naval Academy on its 

merits. Even if you are not selected to fill a particular 
Congressman's vacancy, if you ha\'e a Congressional nominahon, have a good school record, and otherwise meet the 

baste entrv standards, you will have an excellent chance 

to become a m1dsh1pman. Each year ~e\'eral hundred of 

the best qualified alternate Congressional nominees are 

appointed to the Naval Academv, as necessary, to bring 

the entering class up to authonzed strength. 

Q. I'm in tlze \ial'al Re~a1•e Can I get 111/0 the Acadt'llllf? 

A. up to 85 enlisted reservists (Nav\ and Manne Corps), 

on aclt\'e dutv or members of drilling units, may qualify 

to enter the Academy each vear through the reserves. See 

your commanding officer for details. 

Q. If I am ehg1blt- for a Pre,1dent1al nom111at1on, slzould I also 

appht for a Congres,ional nominatron? 

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

chance you will have for selection tf vou are found fully 

qualified

Will tl1ese act1t•1ties help me7 

A. Yes. Evidence of leadership ability and participation 

in extracurncular activ1hes, including athletics and parttime 1obs, are considered in our evaluations. 

Q. /s physical prt'fl/lralron 1111portant? 

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

well on the physical aplttude test, men and women alike 

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

first summer 1s l'ery demanding. Endurance and upperbody strength are particularly important Cross-countrv 

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

for women) the flexed-arm hang are valuable conditioning

Q. I have a high IQ and am a straight-A st11dent. Will 1110s/ 

of 11111 time be spent 011 military sub;ects, or may I take a1111 

electit•es, such as electrical e11g111eer111g 7 

A. From 23 to 38 percent (depending on the major selected) of the Academy's curnculum is devoted to professional military studies, but at the Academy you will complete at least 140 rather than the l20 semester hours tvpteal 

of most civilian colleges. There are many academic maJors 

offered, from English to mathematics to physics to electrical 

engineering. Advanced research pro1ects are offered in 

these and many other areas. 

Q. \Vhat part of the medical exa111111atw11 gm:s the most d1_fficulty to cn11didates? 

A. The eye examination. Visual acuity of 2020 is required. 

However, a limited number of outstanding candidates may 

be granted waivers for \·isual acuity if the refracti\'e 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 11utomat1cnlli1. 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 full\ qualified), includ111g principal nominees of members of Congress, must compete for these waivers. 

Q. I don't like sports Do I Jmi•e lo In/ out for a1111th111g 7 

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

may not be the best school for vou. A midshipman is 

required to participate in athletics, either varsitv or intramural, for the development of character, physical fitness, 

and competitive spirit. 

Q. Hon• 11111ch does it cost to be a 111irlsl11p1111111 7 

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

are provided. ln addition, midshipmen currentlv receive 

a monthly salary of $461.,10 for uniforms, books, and personal needs Salary and the value of the dailv ration allow-
ance (53 80,day) accrue to a midshipman's pay account 

while on leave. A 5500 deposit 1s required on entry 

Q. How often may I v1.s1t home? 

A. During Christmas and spring lea\'eS. In addition, 

month-long summer leaves are granted to the three upper 

classes. You must pay for vour own travel. 

Q. How 111a11y {11111k 011/? 

A. About ten percent of each entering class eventually 

leaves the Na\'al Academy because of academic failure. 

Q. Dv I get to choose 1111y of my cour,c,' 

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

your courses The great maiority of midshipmen get their 

first choice of a major Occas1onalh·, however, in order to 

better meet the future needs of the Nav\', midshipmen 

must accept their second choice. The Navy requires at least 

80 percent oi our m1dsh1pmen to pursue engineering or 

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

trouble meeting voluntarily in recent years. 

Q . Hvw much socml hfe would I l1nvc nt tire Academy? 

A. Social life is i>ery limited dunng the first year. After 

the initial (plebe) year, a growing range of social acllvihes 

becomes available. In addition to weekend dances and 

other extracurncular activities at the Academy, there are 

opportumhes for afternoon liberties m town and for a 

number of weekends awav from the Academy. 

Q. I nm n l11gh school freshman. VVhe11 should I start prepnr111g

work will permit study of advanced cou.rses 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 I failed to be selected for an appo111tme11t for 011e class, am 

I eligible to apply agai11? 

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. 66). Also, each 

year, a number of the most promising of our unsuccessful 

candidates are invited by the Academy to enlist in the 

Naval Reserve for the express purpose of attending the 

Naval Academy Prep School. Here, they become eligible 

to compete for entry into the Academy under a Secretary 

of the Navy nomination. 

Q. When should I appl11 for n 110111111at1011? 

A. Apply to the representative from your Congressional 

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

whenever possible, in the spring of vour 1111110, 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 b,• this time. 

Q. \'Viral is my mililan( ol,/rgation 011 grad1mt1011? 

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 de11t1st 7 

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

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

for present entering classes. If your primary interest rs to 

become a Navy doctor or dentist, it is recommended that 

you attend a civilian college offering premedical studies. 

Q. Does the Naval Academl( lznt>e a pre-law mn;or? 

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 is to become a Navy lawyer.

Naval Academy graduates may apply for the Navy's law 

education program after two years of commissioned service. This is a very limited program, however, with only 25 

officers selected from the entire Navy and Marine Corps 

each year. Officers not selected are required to continue 

their careers as line officers. 

Q. My father was 111 the armed forces. Will tlus help me to get 

a 11om111alwu? 

A. Sons and daughters of career members of the regular 

and reserve forces, active duty or retired (other than those 

retired under Section 1331 of Title 10, U.S. Code), may be 

considered for nomination under the Presidential category. 

Q. What 1{ a 111idship111a11 is found lo be smoking 111nn11w11a or 

to be 11s111g other 1111a11thonzed drugs? 

A. The Navy is lo11gh on drugs. No person, officer or 

enlisted, is accepted into the Navy whose pattern of drug 

involvement indicates dependency, or who has a record 

of drug trafficking offenses. All Induction Day physicals 

at the Naval Academy include a urinalysis testing for evidence of use o( marijuana or other unauthorized drugs. 

This provides an informative data base and enables explicit 

counselmg to be provided for those who need it. Illicit drug 

use while serving in the Navy is not tolerated. Failure to 

abide by this zero-tolerance drug policy-here or anywhere 

else-during your four years as a midshipman will result 

in separation from the Naval Academy. Followmg commissioning as an officer, such an offense could lead to trial by 

court martial, which can result in a punitive discha rge and 

confinement at hard labor or an administrative discharge 

under other than honorable conditions.

After a few weeks as plebes, thev feel that they have 

fulfilled their obligation to their parents and can safely 

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 bv the militarv and professional aspects 

of the training at Annapolis Some, apparenth·, were expecting more of a relaxed, college-type i'\ROTC program

The Curriculum Challenge 

Y oung men and women entering the Naval Academy can be confident 

that the professional education and training received al Annapolis 

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

perform their future military duties effeclt\·eh The development of professional officers has been central to the ob1ec1Ives of the Na\'al Academy since 

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

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

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

curriculum is demanding, and its manv choices are designed to challenge 

each midshipman's academic aptitudes and interests. 

The day 1s long past when even lme officer could be expected to embody 

all the qualifications and specialties desired or needed m a naval career 

Today's Naval Academr, therefore, does not seek to give the same all-mclusive 

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

every graduating class a group of ind1ndual line officers-all thoroughly 

educated at lhe baccalaureate le\·el and well tramed 111 basic professional 

subjects. 

Each midshipman must satisfy certain mmimum course requirements m 

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

Midshipmen must also complete a ma1or sequence from a variety of fields 

designed to provide them with the academic background necessarv for ef-

' fechve leadership in today's Na\'Y or Marine Corps. Consistent with the 

Navy's technical orientation is the Academy's requirement that at least 80 

percent of the midshipmen maior in one of the engineering, math, or scienceoriented d1sciplmes. The remammg midshipmen may major in the humanities 

or social sciences. 

The Navv has an ever-increasmg need for officers educated m the engineering disciplines and thus offers extensive opportun1t1es to its officers for 

graduate work and career specialt1es or subspecialties 111 engineering programs. Seven engineering maiors offered by the Naval Academy lead to 

designated degrees accredited b\ the Accreditation Board for Engineering 

and Technology (ABET)

Choosing a Major 

A midshipmen's choice of ma1or gO\·ems the number of related and supporting 

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

Maiors in the scientific-technical fields entail more courses, at higher levels, 

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

ma1ors The scientific-technical programs require no foreign language. On the 

other hand, programs in social soences, international studies, and English 

do require foreign language studv, yet these p rograms also include four 

semesters of mathematics, one year of chemistry, and a year o( phvs1cs. 

Some plebes are sure o( their study preferences and their academ1capt1tudes 

when they first arrive at the Academy. However, midshipmen are not normally 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 ma1or 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 mterests and abilities do not fit the 

requirements of the major fields they first considered. 

For these reasons, selection ot 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 ma1ors described in this catalog (chapter 7) are subject to changes to meet the needs of the 

Navv and, therefore. should nol l:ie considered as a contract between lhe candidate and the 

U.S. Naval Academv.

The Common Plebe Year 

During the first year al the Naval Academy, each midshipman is 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 dunng the latter part of the year. Al the same lime they 

contain an element of commonality which enables the midshipman to progress 

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

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

of six courses each semester as follows:

Computer Science. Each midshipman receives a one-semester introduction 

to the use of the computer during plebe vear Computers are becoming 

increasingly important m virtuallv every aspect of the modern navy, and 

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

Academy courses. 

Leadersh ip. This introductory course 1s designed to instill in midshipmen a 

professional sense of purpose and personal honor, those military leadership 

traits and techniques whICh will insure credibility in the communication of 

their ideas and commands, and an appreciation for individual and organizat10nal factors which mfluence their performance as leaders. 

Advanced Placement 

Pnor to enlermg the Naval Academ}, many midshipmen take courses equivalent to those offered or required here. We consider one or more of the 

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

examinations given by the appropriate academic departments, transcripts, 

and results of College Entrance Examinallon Board Achievement Tests and 

Advanced Placement Tests, if available Validators of any of lhe plebe courses 

may be enro.lled in more advanced courses during plebe year, if they desire, 

or they may elect to carry a lighter academic load. Over half of the members 

of plebe class validate al least one course. 

Counseling and Guidance 

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

for selecting specific courses and planning their semester schedules. They 

may thus set, within certam limits, the pace of sh.Jdies to match their capabililles. An average student, for example, will likely take sequential courses 

as they are laid out for normal progress in a given major program. lf ready 

for advanced placement 1n some subjects, or able to handle more than the 

standard number of courses, the midshipman may complete the requirements 

more rapidly and gam 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. 

Dunng 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 vear. Following 

selection of a ma1or, a faculty member from lhe department in which the 

student has expressed a particular interest will be assigned as the midshipman's permanent faculty adviser to help define study ob1ectives and offer 

guidance toward a log1eal selection of courses. In addition, the faculty ad\"iser 

concerns himself with the midshipman's overall academic progress and anv 

academic problems encountered from plebe year through graduation. 

Nuclear Propulsion Training Program 

M1dsh1pmen have the opportumty to apply in 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 al one of three nuclear reactor prototvpe sites in Idaho, Ne\\ 

York, or Connecticut. Because of the needs of the serYice, selectees may 

include a few m1dsh1pmen who did not have nuclear propulsion traming as 

their first choice of duties. Completion of the year's tra1mng leads to assignment in a nuclear powered surface ship or submarine, the choice being the 

individual's. Midshipmen who aspire lo duty in one of these exciting ships 

can acquire a strong foundation bv majoring m engineering, science, or 

mathematics. Judicious choice of electn·e 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 serres of professional courses is required for the Bachelor of Science degree. 

In addition to providing the professional background required oi officers 

during their iirst few years in the Fleet or the Marine Corps, these courses 

contribute to more effective summer training with the Fleet as midshipmen. 

Because the professional courses required subsequent to plebe year varv 

slightly, depending on lhe majors program being followed these requirements 

are specified with descriptions of the various majors beginnmg on page 95. 

Distribution Requirements 

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

further study in selected majors, midshipmen must salisf\' certain distribuhon 

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

a modern language. These requirements are specified under the requirements 

for each maior (chapter 7). 

88 
Academic Organization 

The maior academic areas under the direction of the Academic Dean are 

organized into four divisions-the Dins10ns of Engineering and Weapons, 

\ lathematics and Science, U.S. and International Studies, and English and 

History-each headed b, a Navy captain or Marine colonel. A fifth maior 

academic area, the Dl\·1s1on of Professional Development, 1s under the cognizance of the Commandant of Midshipmen. The d1ns1ons are further subdivided into academic departments, 17 in all. which serve as focal points for 

the adm1mstrahon of the ma1ors program and for the continuing review and 

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

militarv members of the faculty . 

The Nimitz Library 

The Nimitz Library, completed in 1973, provides midshipmen and faculty 

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

and recreational reading. A representative book collect10n 1s maintained in 

pertinent fields of knowledge, and the library is espeaallv strong in naval 

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

Washington and Baltimore areas are available to midshipmen and faculty. 

The library contains some 500,000 volumes and accommodates between 

1,400 and 1,500 readers, utilizing a seating combmahon of studv tables, study 

carrels, and lounge furniture. Included in the building are seminar, facul- y 

and group-study rooms, tvping and calculating rooms, audio and video 

carrels, and a computer terminal room. 

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

Laboratory are also 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 1s 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 variet) of useful computer languages is offered such as 

BASIC, PL I, FORTRA~, ALGOL, COBOL, APL, and many others. Courses 

in virtuall) everv academic department reflect lhe impact of the computer.

An extensive public library of computer programs is available for instant use. 

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. Onlv 21 of over 7,000 

computer-using institutions and agencies surveyed were chosen for this 

honor. 

The Educational Resources Center 

The Educabonal 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 ma1ority of training devices assigned to the 

Naval Academy 

Trident Scholars 

Under the Trident Scholar program, initiated in 1963, a limited number of 

exceptionaJiy capable midshipmen are selected to earn• 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 studv. 

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 

90 
total number o( semester hours represented by all the courses taken A 

semester QPR (SQPR) is computed only for courses taken during a given 

semester; a Cumulallve QPR (CQPR) is based upon all academ1C marks 

assigned to date. 

An academic probation system provides warrung 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 probation for the semester following any two consecutive semesters m 

which the semester QPR 1s 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 in these areas, 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 I 5, has failed to 

remove academic probation, is two or more courses behind in the matrix of 

the assigned ma1or, has failed to fulfill a requirement previously assigned by 

the Academic Board, or has failed to fulf1II all graduation requirements at the 

end of first class year. 

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

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

SPQR of at least 3 4, with no grade below C; with grades of A 111 military 

performance and 111 conduct; and with B or beller in physical education 

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

uniforms. The Dean's L1sl honors midshipmen with a minimum SQPR of 3.-4 

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

studies, aptitude, conduct, and physical education 

Graduation Requirements 

To quality for graduation a midshipman must: 

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

(2) Complete 1-40 credit hours, of which a mm1mum of 18 credit hours, 

exclusive of the required English courses, will be in the humanities and 

social sciences; 

(3) Achieve a cumulative quality point rating (CQPR) of at least 2.00; a C 

average, 

(-4) Meet required military-profess10nal standards 111 professional studies and 

at-sea training; 

(5) Meet required standards of military performance, conduct, honor, and 

physical educalton, 

(6) Accept a commission in the U 5. Navy or U.S. ~!anne Corps if proffered. 

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 al the Naval Academv 1s for four-years' duration, as required 

by law. This means that students who validate courses or who can carry e,tra 

courses ha\·e the opportunity to do additional advanced work, pursue independent study and research, complete the requirements of two majors, or 

study other sub1ects for self-improvement or of general interest. 

92 
Schedule of Instruction 

The calendar ,·ear is d1\'lded into two semesters and a summer term. The 

academic year consists ot two semesters, each of approJ1.imately 16 weeks of 

instruclton and one week of exammations. The normal academic routme 

provides tor five and one-half davs of classroom, laboratory, and study periods 

per week. Small classes, avcragmg 20 midshipmen, provide ample opportunitv /or active classroom participation by each midshipman and for individual attention. 

Academic Emphasis 

The emphasis and d1versitv of the Naval Academy's academic program can 

best be summarized as follows: 

Seven designated Bachelor of Science degrees.

the Na\'\•'s Nuclear Power Program or in graduate school 

A broad background m engineenng fundamentals 1s pro\'lded students, who then 

apply these pnnc1ples m their studies of energv systems. These include con\'enttonal 

steam and nuclear power plants, gas turbmes, and such advanced pm,·er svstems as 

fuel cells and thermoelectnc units. 

A course covenng the prinoples ol naval engineering svstems develops an understandmg of the principles of ship design and construction and mtroduces students to 

the problems of analvz111g and designing s,·stems for use in the ocean en\'lronment 

Studies in modern phvsics prepare them for the reactor phvsics and reactor engmeering 

courses. Studies 1n heal transfer-so essential in the study of modern energv systems--

follow Knowledge gained from lhcse studies 1s then used m the analvsis of manne 

propulsion plants and in group designs of future propulsion <,·stems. 

Past designs by students have included the concept design of a propulsion plant 

for a low-water-plane catamaran, prelim111arv design of a submanne waste disposal 

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

Naval Architecture Major 

Naval Architecture. an ABET-accredited major, unlike most engineering disciplines 

unified bv 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 1s needed to develop, design, and build this single product. 

Variety exists not only in the kinds of work (design, research, cost esltmalion, management, etc.), but also in the types of craft involved-from sail boats to aircraft 

earners, from hydrofoil boats lo catamarans, from submarines to surface-effect vehicles. 

Naval architects use both art and engineering in designing ships. Armed with 

imagination and experience, they convert functional requirements into a suitable, costeffective design. Thev analyze and select the best d1mens1ons 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. Add1tionally, 

the ship must be divided into watertight compartments so that, if damaged, the

chances of survival are maximum. Weighing and compromising all such connicting 

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 111 computer-aided design and analysis techniques. A Bachelor of

Ocean Engineering Major 

Ocean Engmeering, an ABET-accredited ma1or, is the key lo the last frontier on earththe deep ocean. This is an mterdisciplinary field involving the application of engineering principles lo hardware svstems in the ocean environment. The curriculum 

stresses fundamentals of mathematics, phvsics, mechanical engineering, electrical 

engmeering, and oceanography, followed bv the application of these fundamentals 

in ocean engineering courses wh.ich includeanalvsis of ocean materials, power systems, 

underwater sound, wave mechanics, life-support systems, ocean energy, and a wide 

varietv of ocean vehicles and offshore and coastal structures. 

Laboratory expenments are conducted 111 the 120-fool towing tank and coastal 

engineering basin. Both are equipped with pneumatic wave-maker and instrumented 

with sophislicated sensors and on-line data acquisition and analvsis equipment. The 

Naval Academy's computer systems are used 111 solving design problems. Sediment 

laboratory and environmental chamber facilities are also available. Midshipmen have 

designed and are building an undersea habilal which will be used as a field laboratorv

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

at the Naval Academy. The laboratory facilities of Michelson Hall are unexcelled at 

the undergraduate level Serious students of chemistry have ample opportunity to 

expenment and observe as they pursue the scientific method. Laboratory equipment 

includes single-pan balances, gas chromatographs, a mass spectrometer, X-ray d1f 

fraction equipment, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers. 

Anv naval officer will profit from a good knowledge of chemistry A background 

in the fundamental principles of chemistrv and modern experimental techniques is

Professional Training Courses 

T he O\'erall 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 speciahlles they may elect to follow at graduation: surface warfare, 

aviation, the submarine service, or the l\.larine Corps. The development of 

a ~trong sense of commitment to the naval service and the fostering of high 

personal standards are major aims of our program. 

Professional development of midshipmen 1s the overall responsibilitv 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 onented classroom studies (in all, 15 courses during the four 

years) and of drills and prachcal training conducted at the Academy during 

the academic year, as well as of professional trainmg conducted during the 

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

instruchon and traming 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 

cumculum in determinmg a midshipman's class standing at graduation. 

A summary of the "!aval Academ~•'s program for the professional development of midshipmen follows.

CHAPTER IX 

Varsity and Intramural Athletics 

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 each midshipman's physical development. This responsibility is met through our intercollegiate sports program-with 21 

men's and 8 women's 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 II naval officer who rose 

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

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

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

discipline, and teamwork are necessary. We take it for granted that the players 

will spare no sacrifice to become alert, strong, and skilled, that they will give 

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

but I am extremely anxious that its implications not be lost upon us." 

President Jimmy Carter, Class of 1947, demonstrated his interest in athletics 

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

William P. Lawrence, past Superintendent of the Naval Academy and a threesport varslly athlete as a member of the Academy's Class of 1951, became the 

23rd recipient of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame's Gold 

Medal Award m 1979 for "his significant contributions to college football and 

his inspirational leadership throughout his adult life which has embodied the 

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

this prestigious award have included Presidents Kennedy and Eisenhower, 

General Douglas McArthur, and Supreme Court Justice Byron V\ hite. 

The explolls of Navy teams in competitive athletics are well-chronicled. 

Over the years, midshipmen have can·ed a reputation for excellence throughout the sports spectrum from football to fencmg, 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. During the 1980-81

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

ranged from first team selection to honorable mention and included selection 

to Academic All-America teams. 

Football at the :--Java! Academy dates from 1879, 1ust ten ,·ears atter Rutgers 

and Princeton introduced the sport al :--:e,, Bruns\\"lck. The midshipmen have 

part1c1pated in the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Holidav, Garden State, and 

Liberty Bowls, including three bowls 1n the past four years Of course, nothing 

better svmbolizes the Naval Academy athletic program than the Army-0!avv 

football game, a sports event in the same galax,· as the \\'orld Series. the 

Kentuck1· Derby, and the Rose Bowl. 

Na\'\ hean·\\'e1ght crews captured the Olvmp1c gold medal tor eight-oared 

shells at Antwerp, Belgium in 1920, and in I-Ielsinki, Finland in 1952. A former 

Nav1· oarsman-Alan B. Shepard-was America's first man in space. In 1980, 

our varsity heavyweight eight took first 111 the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Regatta against top crews from throughout the nation, and thev also 

topped some JO cre\\'s, including the L.S and \\'est Gem1an O1\·mpic eights, 

to take Boston's Head-of-the-Charles Regatta 

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

over a six-year, 48-game span. And from 1960-67, the ;'\!avy lacrosse team 

reeled off a record eight consecutive national championships. Thev \\'Oil again 

in 1970, and were runners-up 111 1975. In 1976, a '\aval Academ,· graduate, 

Captain Lloyd Keaser, t..:S:VIC \\'as an O1\·mpic s1h-er medalist 1n wrestling. 

Acadenw pistol teams have won national intercollegiate titles for the past si, 

1·ears 

The Naval Academy's sa1hng team pro\'ldes m1dsh1pmen with opportuniltes 

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

in numerous intercollegiate and pri,·ate regattas Competition ranges from 

smgle-handed Lasers to 50-toot ocean racers with a ere\, of 14. The Acaden1\" 

sponsors manv of these regattas, mcluding the i\lc~lillan Cup and the John 

F. Kennedy Memorial Regattas in the yawls. There are dinghv regattas almost 

everv weekend. For the past five years, the 1\a,·al Academv has won the 

Folwe Trophy, emblematic ol over-all intercollegiate sailing supremacv in 

North America, an unprecedented feat in this sport. 

There is enough variety in Navy's intercollegiate lineup to satisfy virtually 

everyone's athletic tastes. In the fall, there 1s football, cross country, women's 

volleyball, soccer, 150-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 \\"Omen's s\\·imming, men's and 

women's track, and wrestling The spring schedule indudes baseball, heavyweight ere\\', hghtwe1ght crew, women's ere\\', golf, lacrosse, sailing, tennis, 

148 
and men's and women's track. In addition to women's teams, women al the 

Academ, are encouraged to tn· oul for, and participate with male midshipmen 

in all \!a val Academy sponsored intercollegiate sports except football, lacrosse, 

wrestling, and basketball 

Arm,· trad1tionalh is :'\avy's top opponent and the sen·ice rivals clash in 

a total of 20 ,·ars1tv engagements during the athletic ,•ear. Annapolis teams 

also face the perennial collegiate strongbovs in every sport-Notre Dame 111 

football, Columbia and \!e\\ York Um,·ersit~ 111 tencing, Lehigh in wrestling, 

Harvard and Pennsvlvania in crew, and Johns Hopkins 111 lacrosse, lo name

149 
But perhaps even more a part of Annapolis life 1s the competition w1th111 

the Brigade represented by the intramural sports program. E,·er\' m1dsh1pman, 

with the exception of varsitv athletes, must take part. Here all can participate, 

each at a level appropriate to their individual athletic ability. \\/omen may 

participate in all but the following comparw,battalion-le,·el sports: football, 

fieldball. lacrosse, boxmg, rugby, and wrestlmg. \';'omen-only sports are 

conducted on a battalion basis in basketball. softball, stickball, and tennrs.

Excellent physical facilities support the program. Na\'\ -1\larine Corps Memorial Stadium, seating 28,000 fans between the goal l111es, was dedicated in 

150 
1959. Halsey Field House, completed in 1957, is surfaced throughout with 

Tartan and 111cludes a 220-vard tndoor track There are more than 70 acres of 

lighted plaving fields, indoor sw1mm111g pools, a 5,000-seat baseball park, a 

challeng111g 6,217-yard championship golf course, and an impressive arra\ of 

tennis, squash, handball, and badminton courts An AstroTurf field provides 

an all-weather p ractice area for football, lacrosse, and soccer, and an indoor 

skating rink provides for hockey and other skating activities. A modern -+00-

meter synthetic-surfaced outdoor track was completed 111 1980 A new phvsical 

education center, Lejeune I lall, is ad1acent to the Field House Completed in 

1981, 1t tncludes an Olvmpic-sized pool with seating tor 1,100, a diving 

platform and tank, a 600-seat wrestling arena, and an array of conditioning 

areas. 

Our athletic program is administered bv the Naval Academv Athletic Association, a non-profit organization with headquarters at the t\:aval Academy.

CHAPTER X 

Extracurricular Activities 

L ife at the Academy offers midshipmen a wide-ranging choice of over 

75 different extracurricular activities (ECAs) Almost all are orgamzed 

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

scuba diving; from the Brigade's flvt radio station, WRNV, to its amateur 

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

choir; from ice hockey to rugby football, midshipmen are involved in exclling 

and interesting pasttimes. 

Extracurricular activities at the Naval Academy fall into one or more of 

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

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

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

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

from the many varsity and intramural sports, midshipmen may participate 

in activities of the judo, Karate, Powerlifting, Bowling, and Distance Running 

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

Rugby, Ice Hockey, Water Polo, and Volleyball Clubs and the women's 

Gymnastics and Cross-Country Clubs. The Naval Academy's "club" teams 

compete against Army and other college and private teams in the mid-Atlantic 

area. Home games of the Academy's hard-hilting ice hockey (host of our Crab 

Pot Tournament) and rugby teams are especially popular with the midshipmen 

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

participants 111 club sports may earn athletic letters, similar to varsity athletes. 

The Flying Club is available to midshipmen of all classes. Flight instructors 

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

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

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

The Scuba Club offers basic scuba diving courses taught by midshipmen 

tnstructors, all certtfied by the YMCA. Over 200 divers are trained each year 

in basic or advanced diving. Once qualified, midshipmen can enioy clubsponsored trips during weekend liberties or leave periods to the Florida Keys, 

the Virgin Islands or Bermuda, and to the wartime wrecks off the nearby 

coasts of North Carolina and New jersey.

The Sport Parachute Club also has its own midshipmen instructors. All are 

certified by the Untied States Parachute Association. The club performs demonstration 1umps al the Academy during half-time shows, Commissioning 

Weck, and during Plebe Summer. Members are afforded an opportumt\' to 

qualifv 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, hiking, backpackmg, cycling, and skeet shooting. Because of the varietv of popular activities offered, membership 1s one of the largest at the Academy. 

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

H15tory Club sponsors emment speakers and arranges for movies of historical 

interest for general dewmg by members of the Brigade. The Political Awareness Forum sponsors seminars, field trips, and other club activities. The 

International Club-with Chmese, French, German, Russian, and Spanish 

seclions-sponsors formal banquets with distinguished foreign visitors speakmg in their native language; field trips to foreign ships, diplomatic recepl10ns, 

pla,·s, films, and exhibits, and the Na,·al Academy's lnlernalional Ball, attended each year bv midshipmen and hundreds of young people from Washington's international communitv. 

TillS past spring (1981), m1dsh1pmen and student delegates from over 130 

colleges participated 111 the Naval Academy's 21st annual Foreign Affairs 

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

Resource Diplomacy and U.S. Foreign Policy." As in past years, speakers and 

moderators included senior officials of the U.S. State and Defense Departments and other prominent Americans knowledgeable on the international 

scene, as well as ambassadors and other senior embassy personnel from the 

Washmgton diplomatic commumtv U.S. Senator Henry Jackson of Washington was the keynote speaker. 

Members of the Forensic Society compete at district and national levels m 

near!~ -!O intercollegiate debate tournaments each year. These include an 

Academy-sponsored debate tournament 111 the sprmg attended by many of 

the top teams in the countn· 

Other academic ECA's represented here include a number of nationally 

recognized clubs and sooeties. Among them are the American Institute of 

Aeronautics and Astronautics, the Institute of Electrical and Electromcs Engmeers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society 

of Nuclear Engineers, Sigma Pi Sigma (plws1cs honor society), the l\larine 

Technology society, Pi Sigma Alpha (political science honor socaety), and

ECA's providing support to the Brigade are w1de-rangmg and popular A 

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 speciall\' adapted popular tunes. 

The Masqueraders attracts midshipmen mterested m the theatre. Two plays 

are presented each rear. Midshipmen roles mclude directing, acting, promotion, and back-stage support. Performances are attended b\' midshipmen 

and facult1 and b~ citizens from the Annapolis area. 

The Trident Brass entertains with contemporar\' jau, rock, swing, and 

stage band music al concerts and dances throughout the ,·ear. There are a 

number of small combos, includmg rock groups And the Pep Band, offering 

a rousing combination of Di\ieland, blues, and fight songs, is a feature at 

pep ralhes and sporting e\'ents.

CHAPTER XI 

Administration, Staff, and Faculty 

T he administration of the Naval Academ) is in many respects analogous to that of a civilian college A Board of V1s1tors performs the 

broad supervisory functions of a board of trustees. The Superintendent, a flag officer of the Navy, is the equivalent of a college president, 

and acts as the executive head of the Academy. He is assisted by the Commandant of Midshipmen, 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 Academv. 

Military, professional, and physical training come under the Commandant. 

The Academic Dean heads the academic program. 

Today's 600-man Naval Academy faculty is an integrated group of officers 

and civilians in approximately equal numbers. The officers, rotated at intervals 

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

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

teaching experience, as well as continuity to the educational program. 

The Board of Visitors 

Appointed annually, the Board of Visitors to the Academy consists of the

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

Marine Force, thus beginning their professional careers in an operational 

environment. A few, Lhose with outstanding records as midshipmen, may 

compete for a limited number of graduate scholarships. Several of these 

scholarships require enrollment immediately upon graduation from the Academy Most graduates, however, will first complete their initial operational 

lour of duty with the Fleet before thev may expect the opportunity to be 

enrolled in a master's program, either at the Naval Postgraduate School in 

Monterey, California, or m programs offered at a number of participating 

ovilian universities. Still others will have the opportunity to undertake graduate studies al a later time in their careers.
