Catalog 1976-77 

Annapolis, Maryland 

,h,pmtn tmbarking to USS Consttllattori for a lra11ting cruise, circa 1890 
MlSSfON 

To prepare midshipmen 

morally, mentally, and physically 

to be professional officers 

in the naval service. 


Maximize Your Options: 

One of our most successful midshipmen, who could have gone to nearly 

any school in the country, told us that he chose the Naval Academy because 

it "offered the most options." He read our catalogue, as you are doing, and 

realized that he could major in a subject which interested him, play any 

one of 21 varsity sports against the best teams in the country, and graduate 

as a trained leader with a commission in either the Navy or the Marine 

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

sea. He could become a skilled naval officer or marine and at the same 

time prepare himself, through further education and training, for a second 

profession for service assignments ashore The Naval Academy meant maximum choice as he went along with new and exciting options opening 

before him all the way. 

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

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

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

are not permitted by present law to serve in Navy ships other than hospital 

ships and transports or in aircraft on combat missions, but the other options 

open to men are yours as well. 

Leadership, scholarship, fellowship; this is the Naval Academy. ls it 

for you?

Why the Naval Academy? 

Time Hasn't Changed Our Mission 

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

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

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

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

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

schools cannot? What will the Naval Academy expect of me? What will 1 

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

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

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

Service to Country 

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

Academy is to prepare young men 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 entirely different area of endeavor. If your 

primary interest lies in such fields as medicine, law, education, 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 trained here for service to your nation. You should 

be prepared to undertake the challenges of the four-year curriculum, and to 

serve as an officer in the Navy or Marine Corps for five years after graduation. And you should have an open mind as to your future after that five 

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

reasons for coming to Annapolis if you hope to succeed, and if you are 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 in 1845, has been dedicated to providing the best education for its 

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

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

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

For the undergraduate education of its officers at Annapolis. 

Of course, the bedrock of today's Naval Academy education is still in the 

professional, seagoing, shipboard subjects required of each graduate. Beyond 

these, however, each midshipman may now choose from many areas of 

study, ranging from engineering through oceanography, and mathematics on 

to history, economics, and international affairs. The needs of the Navy 

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

in engineering, scientific, or mathematics majors. Other midshipmen major 

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

yourself well prepared at graduation for your duties as a junior officer, a 

line officer in training for command in the Navy or Marine Corps. 

Leadership Training 

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

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

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

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

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

and to the personnel they command. This is not an easy goal and no one should 

come to the Naval Academy with the idea that the training program is a 

spare-time adjunct to the educational program. It is all-encompassing and 

its activities pervade the four-year course through all the months of the year. 

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

rise to command-professional 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 in accomplishment.

ADMIRAL ARLEICH A BURKE

Characteristically, President Harry Truman cut to the essence of command 

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

of what Lhe responsibility of command is aJl about, however, and still remarkably appropriate today, was written by English sea captain and writer Joseph 

Conrad: "In each ship there is one man who, in the how of emergency or 

peril at sea, can turn to no other man. There is one who alone is ultimately 

responsible for the safe navigation, engineering, performance, accurate gunfire, and morale of his ship. He is the commanding officer. He is the ship." 

Years at Annapolis 

The plebe year at Annapolis is tough. It is a year of development in a new 

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

process and will find it necessary to learn to utilize time better than you 

ever have before. The challenge will be total: mental, moral, and physical. , 

For the entire year. 

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

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

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

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

will come increased 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 reality at 

the Naval Academy long before it was being discussed at most other institutions. 

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

worthwhile is ever easy. And few achievements are so satisfying. By the 

time you graduate, you will have developed your potentials of scholastic 

achievement, physical conditioning, and leadership ability to the best possible 

advantage. 

Travel and the Sea 

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

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

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

B1ltimore. Whatever the month, you will usually see part of the Academy's 

fleet of nearly 100 small-craft-sail and power-underway in the Severn 

River or on the Bay. 
Perhaps you have never thought much about the sea; perhaps you have 

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

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

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

Annapolis without also thinking about the sea. 

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

ships of the Navy. Cruises to which potential women naval officers may be 

assigned will be a part of this curriculum. After your plebe year, your youngster cruise will take you to distant ports in Europe or the Far East. Recent 

Academy cruises have gone to a number of Mediterranean and Northern 

European countries, while the Pacific groups have visited Hawaii, Australia, 

Japan, and Hong Kong. 

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

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

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

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

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

training and education. And, once again, you will visit ports in Europe or 

the Far East. 

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

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

heart of the Annapolis program. 

Professionalism 

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

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

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

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

really says ii all. 

It's up to you. 

'Finally I realized that 

the Academy offered me 

the opportunity to do 

everyt/1ing I wanted to 

do ... a good education, 

a chance to continue 

wrestling, and n chance 

to serve my country. 

And so here I am."

The Years 1845-1976 

Through the years 1845 to 1976, as the nation's responsibilities and need for 

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

Keeping pace, ,n peace and war, from sail to steam, and into the nuclear age, 

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

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

professional leadership expected in the United States Navy. 

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

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

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

Commander Franklin Buchanan was the first Superintendent of the Naval 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

war, the Brigade retllrned to Annapolis to stay. Dllring these early years, the 

Academy was one of the few institutions i.n America offering a sophisticated, 

technical undergraduate program. 

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

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

sc,rving as an instructor in the Department of Physics and Chemistry at the 

Thomas Harrisori , Class of 1800

Academy. Michelson continued his brilliant scientific work after leaving the 

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

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

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

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

completed soence and mathematics complex is named Michelson Hall. 

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

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

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

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

King, Nimitz, Halsey, Spruance, Burke and Zumwalt 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. Their successors, preparing to meet a new generation of challenges, 

are midshipmen today 

Following accreditation of the Naval Academy in 1930 by the Association 

of American Universities, a Congressional law was passed in 1932 authoriz.ing 

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

16 beginning with the Class of 1Q31. In 1939, Congress authorized the award-
Na'Oal Academy, 1908 

'-

ing of the 8.S. degree to all living graduates. The Middle States Association 

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

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

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

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

An Academic Advisory Board of distinguished Americans, formed by the 

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

matters, first met at the Academy in 1966. 

On 8 October 1975 President Ford signed historic legislatfon authorizing 

the admission of women to the service academies "consistent with the needs 

of the services." Immediately thereafter the Nava! Academy went ahead with 

plans to admit its first women midshipmen with the class of 1980, entering 

on 6 July 1976. 

Yard and Facilities 

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

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

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

grounds and buildings of the Academy. Everyone is welcome during daylight 17 


20 

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

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

or Baltimore, Maryland. 

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

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

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

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

fields and new buildings. Construction of a number of buildings in use today 

b~gan in 1899 with a Congressional appropriation of ten million dollars. 

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

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

midshipmen's dormitory; the construction of a Brigade assembly hall; the 

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

Brigade of 4,300 midshipmen and the families and friends of first classmen at graduation time; and the construction, with privately donated funds, 

of the nearby Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. A multimillion-dollar 

renovahon of Bancroft Hall was completed in 1965. 

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

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

Jones. Throughout the Yard stand other monuments and mementoes com-
memorating the deeds of our great naval heroes and honoring the Navy's 

finest traditions 

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

plan 1s nearing completion. Among key structures in this plan are the 

science building, Michelson Hall, and the adjoining mathematics building, 

Chauvenet Hall, both completed in 1968 The 650,000-volume capacity 

Nimitz Library, overlooking the Severn, was completed in 1973. An adjacent 

engineering building and laboratory complex, Rickover Hall, was completed in 

1975. A full range of facilities and services for student and faculty research, 

computer-aided education, and educational television has been provided 

throughout the academic complex. All academic areas arc air-condilloned. 

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

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

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

rink, a cafeteria, lounges, and game rooms 

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

complexes in the world. Stretching over many acres, 1t houses the entire 

Brigade. All of the necessary basic facilities for daily living, as well as many 

for recreation, are found in Bancroft Hall. 21

Life at Annapolis 

Mission 

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

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

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

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

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

of priorities. 

During the academic year, first pnonty 1s 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 at sea or in 

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

Organization 

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

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

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

loyalty; for providing military indoctrination and physical development; and 

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

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

carrying out these responsibilities the Commandant is assisted by an imme-

·dsh1pma11 c,uis1•, 1893 

"Having bee11 n Navy

bootcamp nnd everything, l think it (plebe

diate staff of officers, designated the Office of the Commandant, and by five 

subordinate departments or groups of officers. The departments reporting to 

the Commandant include the Physical Education Department, the Dental 

Department, the Midshipman Supply Department, the Brigade Chaplains, and 

the Brigade Officers. 

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

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

officers composed of Navy lieutenants and lieutenant commanders and Marine 

Corps captains and majors. These officers work in close daily contact with the 

midshipmen in Bancroft Hall. Here, bv precept and example, the application 

of sound techniques of leadership, counsel, and guidance, and, when required, 

corrective or disciplinary action, midshipmen are measured, molded, and 

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

commissioned officers. 

Bancroft Hall houses the entire Brigade of Midshipmen. It is home away 

from home for the midshipmen. The majority of the midshipmen live two or 

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

is a company wardroom for informal meetings, reading, or relaxing while 

watching television. The Midshipmen's Wardroom, a large dining hall in 

Bancroft Hall, accommodates the entire Brigade, family-style, for meals. Also 

included in Bancroft Hall are small Catholic and Protestant chapels, with 

chaplains' offices adjoining, a midshipmen's store for daily necessities and an 

occasiona; gift, tailor and uniform shops, three barber shops, a bookstore, a 

cobbler shop, a post office, recreation rooms, a bowling alley and a snack bar, 

the "Steerage." On weekends, Memorial Hall, Smoke Hall, and the adjacent 

activity center in Dahlgren Hall provide attractive settings for dances and 

other recreational activities. 

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

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

organizational unit for numerous competitive activities during the year. 

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

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

aided by a midshipmen staff and assistants. Midshipmen are selected for 

these commands and staffs on the basis of their demonstrated proficiency 

in leadership and their other officer-like qualities.

Years of Development 

The incoming midshipmen are officially designated midshipmen fou rth class, 

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

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

senior year, midshipmen first class. 

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

of their plebe year the following June. Demands upon them and upon their 

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

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

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

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

other phases of midshipmen training and education, the system directly 

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

a basic understanding of military relationships and the military environment. 

I ts aim is to teach each plebe to: 

Exercise self-discipline, 

Organize time and effort effectively, 

Perform efficiently under stress, 

Think and react quickly with good judgment, 

Exhibit an exemplary military bearing and appearance. 

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

pressure, to respond promptly and intelligently to orders and, fin ally, to measure up to the highest standards of character, honor, and morality. 

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

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

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

Wardroom in Brancroft Hall. Their military indoctrination gets off to a fast

start, but they are too busy to have time to worry about it. Civilian ways and 

days soon seem far behind. 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic 

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

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

conditioning program make each midshipman a proudly versatile individual. 

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

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

talent shows. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

paced by a demanding daily schedule ...

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

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

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

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

the Hudson, the cadets of West Point. 

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

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

July, and gives all midshipmen a welcome break in the academic rou tine. 

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

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

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

Easter weekend. 

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

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

Third Class Yea r. At the end of June Week, the first year of intensive indoctrination is ended and, after a week's study of meteorology and oceanography, the new third classmen depart on six to eight weeks of training at 

sea with the Fleet, accompanied by midshipmen of the first class. At-sea training is followed by 30 days of leave. 

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

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

and upon whom they will depend as an officer. They serve in many capacities and actively participate in a wide range of shipboard operations. They 

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

boats, and exercise at general shipboard drills. 

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

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

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

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

Following the completion of academic study during third class year and 

the end of their second June \ Veek, the third classmen become second classmen. 

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

professional studies at the Naval Academy and receive familiarization training 

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

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

lectures ashore and through visits and short cruises on board nuclear submarines of the U. 5. Atlantic Fleet. Traveling to Newport, Rhode Island, the 

new second classman attends a familiarization course at the U. 5. Naval 

Destroyer School and visits modern destroyers. Flight indoctrination in naval 

training and operational aircraft at Pensacola, Florida, provides a knowledge 

of the duties of an officer choosing a career in naval aviation Introduction to 

the techniques of vertical envelopment and amphibious assault, provided by 

the Marine Corps at one of their maior training facilities, completes the 

summer's professional training. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

part in the training and indoctrination of the new plebe class at Ann.ipolis 

during the summer. 

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

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

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

information center and in the engineering spaces, and lectures and studie~ on 

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

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

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

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

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

Denmark, and Norway in Northern Europe 

The important responsibility assigned the first class in directing the Brigade of Midshipmen has been previously noted. Midshipmen officers. called 
stripers, lead the Brigade in parades, ceremonies, ,rnd al daily formations 

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

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

each academic year increases the individual opportunity for this valuable 

le,,dership experience The fourth. or June \Veek, set of stripers is selected by 

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

In carrymg out these demanding responsibilities. the first class midshipmen find themselves callmg upon all the leadership skills they have developed 

during their first three vears. Following this final vear of prallical experience, they find themselves well prepared at graduation to assume their leadership respons1bilit1es in the Navv or the Marine Corps as newly commissioned 

officers. 

The Honor Concept 

Personal integrity is essential to everv naval officer Hence, an important part 

of the mission of the Naval Academy is to develop midshipmen morally and 

to imbue them with high ideals of honor The Brigade of Midshipmen lives 

under an Honor Concept This concept contributes to the .inomplishment of 

the mission of the Academy by providing the precepts which aid midshipmen 

in cultivating the highest standards of honor and personal integrity The 

Honor Concept is based upon a universal princ,ple that an individual does 

not lie, cheat or steal. Unswerving fidelity to this principle 1s required of all 

midshipmen in evervthing that thev do. Bv outlinmg generalized principles 

to live by, the Honor Concept seeks to instill 111 the midshipmen standards 

of integrity which will motivate them to make decisions consistent with the 

highest ideals of honor in everv situation they encounter The Honor Concept 

was established bv the members of the Brigade of Midshipmen and with 

them lies the responsibilitv for ,ts administration and enforcement to this dav. 

The Professional Training Program 

The Commandant directs the Academv's professional tra111111g program. The 

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

to provide graduates with a sound foundation in the fundamental specialized 

subjects and skills required of professional officers in the Navv or Marine 

Corps.

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

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

a midshipman's professional training performance. 

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

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

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

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

making up the professional training program begins on page 133. 

leave and Privileges 

The amount of personal Freedom and the privileges granted midshipmen vary 

directly with their seniority, responsibility, and performance. First classmen 

not only will have more responsibility in the administration of the Brigade, 

but will also have more privileges. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fourth classmen are granted liberty on Saturday afternoons and evenings and 

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

to June Week. 

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

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

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

completed for the day. 

Weekend liberty is granted to upperclassmen. Midshipmen third class 

are afforded three weekends each semester; second class midshipmen receive 

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

they are authorized to take; however, a number are required to remain at the 
Naval Academv during the wc-ekend in order to larrv out the administrative 

functions of the Bngadl' 

Cultural Affairs Program 

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

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

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

nearby Washington and Baltimore Field trips throughout the academic year 

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

miJ,hipmen ,rnd their guests 

Physical Education 

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

Education Department makes a vital contribution to the physical development 

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

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

agil1tv, and competitive spirit to develop useful habits of phvs1cal fitness, to 

develop tht' rapability to train and instruct others and to develop the background and , apability lo withstand physical hardship. Equally important, the 

program aims to be enjovable, to provide a release From the academic routine, 

to develop a lasting appreciation for sports in general, and to develop individual skills in carrv-over sports for en1oyment after graduation. 

\Vomen will participate in the same physical fitness and physical education program as the men except I hat some adiustments will be made in content 

of the program for women and in the standards to be met by women because

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

and its program, refer to chapter 8. 

Medical and Dental Care 

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

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

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

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

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

Bethesda, Maryland. 

legal Assistance 

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

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

Building. 

Financial Advice 

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

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

and through individual counselling as needed. The Midshipmen Financia.l 

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

Religious Activities 

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

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

world. This is more than a coincidence. Over the decades of our history, fighting Americans have learned by experience that there is a dimension to military 
leadership-both in and out of combat-which is essential to real effectiveness. This is the spiritual factor, the intangible thing we call moral courage. 

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

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

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

serve in the armed forces. 

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

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

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

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

Attendance at religious services is optional. Midshipmen are encouraged to 

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

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

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

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

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

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

midshipmen to take full advantage of opportunities for worship and moral 

development 

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

Protestant or Catholic chapel services which periodically feature nationally 

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

and inspiration that comes from Friendship with God.

The Naval Profession 

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

and enlisted personnel not only sail the seas but are also engaged in research 

from the tropics to the poles and mto space, whose supersonic planes provided the trammg ground for America's first astronauts, whose nuclear submarines and surface ships are a test11nony to Amenca's engineering genius, 

whose leaders advise in the highest councils of government, and whose 

Marines stand second to none when tales of valor are told. Though ours is a 

vastly rnmphcated and technological lavy, the human being is, in the end, 

all-important. It is an organ11ation which puts a high premium on leaders 

with vision, c!edication and abilitv. It is a Navy with a proud past and a 

promising future, broad enough to provide a stimulating challenge in a 

spectrum of interesting fields. 

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

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

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

qualified 1s 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 vanous Staff Corps of the Navy, e.g., Supply Corps or in the 

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

Assignments for Women Officers 

Much of the information contained in this chapter is applicable to men only 

at the present time Title 10, United States Code, Section 6015, states: 

"Women may not be assigned to duty m aircraft that are engaged in combat 

missions, nor may thev be assigned to duty on vessels of the Navy other than 

hospital ships or transports." This means that the career pattern and duty 

stattons of women graduates of the Naval Academy will be markedly different from their male counterparts. Although a Few women may be assigned

certain non-combatant ships, women may, in general, expect the majority of 

their assignments to be ashore. 

First Duty 

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

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

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

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

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

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

and are, thus, headed ultimately for command ar sea. A large number of 

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

aircraft carrier, cruiser, destroyer, or amphibious warfare ship. Other graduates who volunteer and are selected, are assigned to nuclear power training 

with ultimate assignment to submarines or surface combatant ships of the 

Fleet. 

Prospective aviators may elect to go directly to flight school or to sea with 

the Fleet for two years before entering Right training. 

Graduate programs leading to advanced degrees are available to a small 

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

of sea duty 

One out of every six Annapolis graduates may volunteer for appointment 

,n the Marine Corps as a second lieutenant For those who choose this career 

there will be a six-month post-commissioning school after which the Marine 

lieutenant will either begin Flight training or will join a regular Marine unit as 

a specialist in a field such as the combat arms, communications, air traffic 

control, data processing, engineers or supply. As is the case with those classmates who go to sea, the Marine officer will be afforded opportunities to 

obtain an advanced degree. 

Officers not physically qualified for these assignments are assigned to 

schools or shore billets which are commensurate with their abilities and desires and the needs of the service. 

Officer Career Patterns 

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

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

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

submarine, or aircraft squadron. Tours of duty ashore occur at regular intervals. Officers aspiring to command at sea will serve in a number of ships or 

aircraft squadrons in different capacities, as well as in staff and planning 

billets afloat and ashore, tn the United States and overseas. 

Male officers will serve their initial tours at sea aboard combatant ships. 

They serve in a wide variety of assignments during these tours. Women 

officers can expect assignment lo shore commands and staffs in such diverse 

areas as operational analysis and planning, research and development, personnel and educational management and services, intelligence analysis and 

communications. 

Repeated assignments within specialized fields and graduate studies provide 

line officers with subspecialties which generally are exercised ashore. These 

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

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

officers are similar, there are some significant differences. After an initial sixmonth post-commissioning school the Marine lieutenant may be assigned to a 

base overseas or to duties on the East or West coast. Following this tour of 

duty, the Mar,ne officer will be eligible for assignment to a Marine barracks 

in the United States or overseas, to attend graduate school, or to serve on a 

high level staff in Washington, D. C., among many other assignments. As 

Manne officers advance in rank and exper,ence they will find themselves assuming greater responsibilities at larger and more complex commands. 

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

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

professional sailor, Marine, aviator, engineer, manager, scientist, administrator, educator, diplomat, Fleet commander This is not just a job, but a way of 

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

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

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

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

United States.

Officer Education and Training 

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

momentarily, but their theoretical and practical education will continue as 

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

attainment by acquiring practical experience ashore and afloat and through 

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

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

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

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

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

for higher responsibilities. This move toward graduate education begins 

before graduation for those midshipmen selected for scholarships in civilian 

universities or for Navy-sponsored graduate programs. 

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

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

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

schools in damage control, communications, electronics maintenance, and 

antisubmarine warfare. Some exceptional practical educational opportunities 

are afforded by these curriculums. For example, the nuclear power training 

program, sponsored jointly by the Navy and the Energy Research and Development Administration, and to which many graduates go, is considered the 

finest technical engineering curriculum available 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 war colleges, in particular, are noted for their high 

quality education in the fields of management, economics and international 

relations while relating these academic subjects to our global strategy. Officers 

who aspire to positions 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 Navy in defense of this country 

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

an unprecedented number of career opportunities for a naval or Marine 
officer. 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 at every level of leadership in the Department of the Navy. A career 

officer becomes a part of this commitment, and thus can be assured that professional talents and intellectual ability will be enhanced by advanced education and assignments that fully challenge interests and capabilities.

Admissions 

Each year, the Naval Academy selects approximately 1,350 candidates for 

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

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

Naval Academy encourages this diversity and recognizes the value and 

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

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

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

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

1979 included 151 (11 percent of the class) from racial minorities. 

Certain general eligibility requirements for candidates do exist. Candidates 

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 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 medically and physically, and compete for 

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

SAT or ACT scores, recommendations from school officials, extracurricular 

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

aptitude and achievement, and physical fitness. Qualification for admission 

and competition for selection is based on consideration of all of the above 

factors. 

High School Program 

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

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

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

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

limited for those who stand below the top 4-0 percent. While the Academy 

does not have rigid requirements concerning the subjects which must be

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

Precandidate Questionnaire 

Applicants should submit a Precandidate Questionnaire to the Naval Academy 

in the spring of their junior year, or as soon thereafter as practicable. The 

Academy will open a preadmiss1on file upon receipt of the questionnaire. Information gathered in this file will be used by the Academy to provide the 

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

nomination. Precandidate Questionnaires should be requested from the Director of Candidate Guidance, U. 5. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland

Candidate Guidance 

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

naval service through Annapolis. This office also coordinates the nation-wide 

activities of some 1 ,700 selected Naval Reserve officers, not on active duty, 

and civilians who have been designated Naval Academy Information ("Blue 

and Gold") Officers. These officers are qualified to counsel applicants on all 

aspects of admission and are in close contact throughout the year with officials at Annapolis. Appendix E lists the State Area Coordinators of this program. After reading this catalog, applicants who have questions about the 

Academy or its admission procedures should write to the coordinator nearest 

them or to:

Obtaining a Nomination 

Applicants must obtain a nomination to be considered for an appointment 

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

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

evaluate candidates during the summer months and some nominate in early 

fall. Most candidates will be notified of their nomination by the end of January during their senior year. There are many sources of nomination and applicants should apply to all sources for which they are eligible, which always 

include their representative, both senators, and the Vice President. The following is a listing of all nomination sources:

Congressional Nominating Procedures 

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

candidates He may designa te them as "principal," "1st alternate," "2nd 

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

"Any brother coming off

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

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

Academv for the vacancy In all cases, the vacancy 1s filled by the top person 

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

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

qualified, it is posscble that thev all may be accepted for admission as qualified alternates or competitors 

Admission of Women 

The Naval Academy has been authorized to admit up to 80 women in the 

Class of 1980. The number of women who may be appointed from each of the 

existing sources of nomination listed on pages 56 and 57 of this catalog, will 

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

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

sources, except for sons and daughters of Medal of Honor winners who are 

admitted without limit if qualified. 

Women who hold principal congressional nominations will be admitted, if 

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

congressional-type sources of appointment exceeds the number apportioned 

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

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

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

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

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 will have priority on a waiting list 

called the qualified alternates and competitors list. 

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

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

compete with men up to the authorized number of appointments. 

Admission of Qualified Alternates and Competitors 

Each year the Naval Academy admits several hundred qualified alternates and 

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

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

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

considered automatically by the Academy's Admissions Board 
Readmission of Former Midshipmen 

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

admission requirements, approval of the Naval Academy's Academic Board is 

required for readmission of former midshipmen. Requests should be addressed 

to the Dean of Admissions. 

Medical Examination 

Applicants must pass a very thorough medical examination designed to ensure 

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

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

applicants in good health and who have normal v1s1on usually have little 

difficulty in passing the examination Candidates should carefully review the 

detailed physical standards contained in appendix B. Candidates having less 

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

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

contact lenses must comply with special examination procedures. 

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

only for those candidates who have been officially scheduled by the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DODMERB), a triserv1ce agency responsible for scheduling and evaluating examinations 

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

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

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

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

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

all 1f, for example, they are found not qual,fied in academic and leadership 

potential by the Admissions Board However, candidates may be assured that 

if they are otherwise fully qualified and are in a position to be appointed to 

the Naval Academy we will take immediate action to schedule their medical 

e,aminat1on. 

Notification of Qualification and Selection for Appointment 

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

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

'All tl1ro11gh pll'be s11mmer I woke up every 

day and said 'My God, 

I'm going to quit. Today 

is gomg to be tire day.'"

Ire w1111ts to." 

60 

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

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

Pay and Expenses 

The pay of midshipmen is 5333.00 per month, commencing on the date of 

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

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

accrued savings of approximately 51,800.00 in addillon to a complete wardrobe of officer uniforms. 

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

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

be reduced to 5100, m which case money allowances will be reduced until the 

ind1v1dual's account reaches prescribed levels. The amount deposited is not 

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

become the property of the midshipman 

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

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

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

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

the indebtedness is accomplished by monthly deductions of 540 from the 

midshipman's pay, beginning m April of the first vear at the Naval Academy 

and continuing until the indebtedness is liquidated. 

Service Obligation 

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

previously acquired a military obligation, will automatically do so upon 

acceptance of appointment as midshipmen at the U. 5. Naval Academy. Under Section 651 of Title 10, U. 5. Code, any person who 1s enlisted, inducted, 

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

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

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

Academy graduates as commissioned officers on active duty. 
Enlisted members of the armed forces who accept appointments as midshipmen at the Naval Academy will not be discharged From their enlistment 

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

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

a commission (Act of 25 June 1956, 1-2, re-enacted 10 U. 5. Code 51b.) 

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

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

as midshipmen terminated and will immediately resume their enlisted status. 

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

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

m1dsh1pman shall be counted as time served under such contract or period of 

obligated service. 

Agreement Signed by Entering Midshipmen 

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

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

if a minor, that thev will fulfill these obligations: 

They will complete the Academy course of instruction( unless disenrolled 

from the Ac,1dcmy b, competent authoritv) 

They will .Jllept ,1ppointments and serve as commissioned officers on active 

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

If authori,cd to resign from the Regular Navy before the sixth anniversary 

of graduation, will ser\'e ,is commissioned officers in the Naval Reserve until 

the si,th anniversarv. 

Resignations and Separations 

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

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

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

Second and first classmen · After the commencement of the second class 

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

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

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

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

be waived. 

Midshipmen who are separated after having entered the Naval Academy 

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

former status under the appropriate statutory provisions. Completion or 

partial completion of a prior service obligation by separated m1dsh1pmen does 

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

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

Refusal to accept commission: Any first classman who completes the 

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

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

status and ordered to active duty for four years. 

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

terminal dates are established for their commissions. 

Pre-Annapolis Scholarship Assistance 

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

high school graduates to enhance their qualifications for admission to the 

Naval Academy. The Foundation is chartered for educational purposes under 

the laws of the State of Maryland. The Foundation's program is authorized 

and approved by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and its aims are 

fully supported by the Superintendent of the Naval Academy. 

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

scholarships annuallv to young men and women seeking admission to the 

Naval Academy to prepare for a career in the Navy or Marine Corps Cash 

grants for these scholarships are made to participating junior colleges and 

preparatory schools or to a college selected bv the applicant. Parents of young 

men and women selected for this program are expected to contribute financially w1th1n their capabilities. The Foundation offers no assistance other than 

counseling to individual applicants in obtaining nominations.

Naval Academy Preparatory School 

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

Island, has prepared servicemen for entry into the Naval Academy for over 
half a century Enlisted men and women study at the school from August to 

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

half from the Naval Reserve. 

Applicants presently in a regular or reserve military status should apply 

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

including academic transcripts, the recommendations o( their commanding 

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

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

promising and highly motivated of those civilian nominees who have indicated 

tlrat tlrey were interested in attending the Preparatory School in the event 

they were not successful in being selected for admission to the Naval Academy. Those selected are offered the opportunity to enlist in the Naval Reserve 

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

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

The Preparatory School offers college preparatory work in mathematics, 

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

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

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

and varsity sports programs complete the school's program.

Over the years it has been the experience of the Naval 

Academy that a great many misconceptions exist concerning admission procedures, methods of obtaining nominations, qualifications, and other factors pertaining to selection and admission. The following questions are those most 

often asked by prospective candidates and the answers 

may help you to clear up any doubts or misunderstandings 

you may have concerning this all-important subject. 

Q. Wlro can become 11 mrdshipmnn? 

A. Admission is open to young men and women of good 

moral character, without regard to race, creed or national 

origin. Candidates must be citizens of the United States, 

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

of age but not past their 22nd birthday on 1 July of the 

vear of admission. 

Q. W/111/ must I do to become a m1ds/1ipman? 

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

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

secondary school record, including college-preparatory 

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

and physical standards. Be selected for an appointment. 

Q. W/1ere mny I get detniled ndmissions informntion 7 

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

guidance counselors, from your local Navy recruiter, from 

the West Coast Regional Candidate Guidance Office NAS 

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

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

Annapolis, Maryland 21302. 

Q. JV/int service selections nre ml/lilnble to women7 

A. The first woman to graduate from the Naval Academy 

will do so no earlier than 1980. B, that time, laws govern-
ing the assignment of women may change. At present, Title 

10, U. 5. Code, Section 6015 states: "Women may not be 

assigned to duty in aircraft that are engaged in combat 

missions nor may they be assigned to duty on vessels of 

the navy other than hospital ships or transports." This constraint means that, at present, women could expect assignment to administrative shore billets in the Navy or Marine 

Corps, and that no more than a few could expect to be 

selected for the limited number of non-combat aviation 

billets available upon graduation. It should be emphasized 

that all physically qualified women will be commissioned in 

the line upon graduation. Thus, there will be no options for 

women to be commissioned in the Supply Corps, Civil 

Engineering Corps, etc, unless they are not physically 

qualified for a line commission. 

Q. I don't know my congressma11. How do I get a 

nomination:' 

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

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

senators by mail; your applications will be considered carefully. (See Precandidate Questionnaire, pg 54.) Each member of Congress may have five of his appointees attending the Academy at any one 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 is then evaluated by the Naval Academy on its 

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

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

good school record and otherwise meet the basic entry 

standards, you will have an excellent chance to become a 

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

Naval Academy by the Secretary of the Navy to bring the 

entenng class up to authorized strength.

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

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

may qualify to enter the Academy each year. See your 

commanding officer for details. 

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

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

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

are found fully qualified. 

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

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

high school or prep school. 

Q. My grades were about average, but I played in several sports and was student body preside,11. Also, I had to 

work after school. Will these activities help me? 

A. Yes. Evidence of leadership ability and participation 

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

Q. Is physical preparation important? 

A. It certainly is. Aside from helping them to do well on 

the physical aptitude test, men and women alike should be 

physically fit at entrance since the first summer is very 

demanding. Endurance and upper-body strength are particularly important. Cross country runs, swimming, push-ups 

and chin-ups, and (particularly for women) the flexed-arm 

hang are valuable conditioning exercises. 

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

most of my time be spent on military s11bjects, or may I 

take any electives, such as electrical engineering? 
A. From 23 to 38 percent (depending on the maior selected) of the Academy's curriculum is devoted to profesional military studies; but at the Academy you will complete at least 140 rather than the 120 semester hours typical 

f most ci\'ilian colleges. There are many academic majors 

ffered, from Far Eastern studies to mathematics to electri-

:al engineering. Advanced research projects are offered in 

these and many other areas. 

Q. IVl111t part of tire medical ex11min11tion gives the most 

diffi, 11/ty to c1111did11tes? 

A. The eye examination Visual acuity of 20/ 20 is re-

~uired However, a limited number of outstanding candi-

;lates may be granted waivers for \'isual acuity if the refracti\'e error is not excessive and the vision is correctable 

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

~uahfied for admission, you will be considered 1111to11111t1c1lly, 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 wai\'er, the competition for the a\'ailable waivers is keen. It should be noted 

that all nominees within waiverable limits (and otherwise 

[ully qualified), including principal nominees of Congressmen, must compete for these wai\'ers. 

Q. I don't like sports. Do I l111t>e to try out for anytl1111g? 

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

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

and competitive spirit. 

Q. How m11cli does it cost to be a midship11um 7 

A. Tu1t1on, room and board, and medical and dental care 

are provided. In addition, midshipmen receive a monthly 

salary of 5333.00 for uniforms, books, and personal needs.

Q. How many f/11nk out? 

A. Of the overall loss of approximately 33 percent over 

the entire four-year program for an average class, about 

one-third of these are academic failures. 

Q. Do l get to fly? 

A. All midshipmen receive Aight indoctrination in naval 

aircraft durmg the third summer. After graduation, se• 

lected volunteers receive A,ght training leading to designa• 

tion as aviators in the Navy or Marine Corps. 

Q. Do l get to clioose any of my courses' 

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

vour courses. The great majority of midshipmen get their 

first choice of a major Occasionally, however, in order to 

better meet the future needs of the Navy, midshipmen 

must accept their second choice. The Navy e,pects that at 

least 80 percent of our midshipmen will pursue engmeering 

or science·orien ted ma1ors 

Q. How muc/1 social life wo11/d l liave at tlie Academy? 

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

initial (plebe) year, there is a wide range of social activi· 

ties available. There are weekend dances and other e,tracurricular activities at the Academy, and there are oppor· 

tunllzes for afternoon liberties in town and for a number 

of weekends awav from the Academy

Q. I nm in college. ls ii too lnte lo enter the Acndemy? 

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

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

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

of each entering class have been in a civilian college. 

Q. If I fniled to be selected for nn nppointment for one 

class, nm I eligible to apply again? 

A. Yes, as long as you still meet basic eligibility requirements pertaining to age, citizenship, etc. However you must 

obtain a new nomination and complete the entire admissions process to again be considered for an appointment. 

Also, each year, a number of the most promising of the 

unsuccessful candidates (who have previously indicated to 

the Naval Academy that they are interested in attending 

our prep school) are invited by the Academy to enlist in 

the Naval Reserve for the express purpose of attending the 

Naval Academy Prep School. Here, they become eligible 

for a Secretary of the Navy nomination. 

Q. When should I npply? 

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

your j11nior year in high school. Although a few apply as 

late as December of the senior year, this is not advised 

since most members of Congress will have selected their 

nominees by this time. 

Q. What is my militnry obligation on grnduation? 

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. Ca11 I become n Navy physicinn or dentist? 

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

officers who have completed two years of active duty and 

have been admitted to an approved medical school There was

a limited program for pre-medical training at the Naval 

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

entering classes. If your primary interest is to become a 

Navy doctor or dentist, it is recommended that you attend 

a civilian college offering premedical studies. 

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

The Academy has no pre-law program. Graduates 

may apply for the Navy's law education program after 

two years of commissioned service. This 1s a very limited 

program, however, with only 25 officers selected from the 

entire Navy and Manne Corps each year. Officers not 

selected are required to continue their careers as line officers. 

Q. My father was in the armed forces. Will tliis help me 

to get a nomination? 

A. Sons and daughters of career members of the regular 

and reserve forces who are on active duty or retired may 

be considered for a nomination under the Presidential 

category. 

Q. What degrees are offered at the Academy? 

A. The Naval Academy offers seven designated 8.5. degrees in engineering and a number of undesignated 8.5. 

degrees in science, humanities, and the social sciences. 

Q. Where do mids/11pme11 live? 

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

more than 4.8 miles of corridors and 33 acres of floor 

space. Each room has its own shower and all rooms have 

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

is served family style The Hall contains a store, medical 

and dental facilities, and a soda fountain, bowling alleys, 

and numerous other facilihes. 
Q. I have no111inat1011s to both tire Nnvnl and the Air 

Force Academies Must I undergo two medical examinations? 

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

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

Q. Wliat reasons are given most frequently by plebes 

who resign from the Academy? 

A. Resigning plebes most frequently say: 

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

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

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

They knew that the academic program was demanding, but 

they failed to realize the extent of the daily demands made 

on their time by the military and professional aspects of 

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

the regimen of a service academy. 

Q. As n male graduate, what nre my career choices on 

grnd1.atio11? 

A. During the first semester of your senior year you will 

be able to choose one of the following service selections 

on graduation: (1) Navy line (surface ships), (2) nuclear 

power training, (3) naval aviation (either pilot or A.ight 

officer training), (4) U. S. Marine Corps (either ground or 

pilot/A1ght officer training). The only exception to choosing one of these four selections would be in the event you 

were found not medically qualified for commissioning as a 

line officer, in which case you would be commissioned in 

the staff corps or the restricted line.

The Curriculum Challenge 

Young men and women entering the Naval Academy can be confident that the 

professional education and training at Annapolis will give them the knowledge 

and skills they will need to perform their future military duties effectively. 

The development of professional officers has been central to the objectives of 

the Naval Academy since its founding over 130 years ago. It is today. But 

today's Naval Academy offers considerably more. As a professionally-oriented 

academic insl1lution, it offers in-depth studies in engineering, science and the 

humanities. The curriculum 1s demanding, and its many choices are designed 

to challenge each midshipmanS academic aptitudes and interests. 

The day is long past when every line officer could be expected to embody 

a.II the qualifications and specialties desired or needed in a naval career. Today's Naval Academy, therefore, does not seek to give the same all-inclusive 

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

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

basic professional subjects-who collectively possess the wide range of 

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

To attain breadth, midshipmen must satisfy certain minimum course requirements in social sciences and humanities, mathematics and science. To 

ensure depth, they complete a major sequence from a variety of fields designed to provide them with the academic background necessary for effective 

leadership in today's Navy or Marine Corps. Consistent with the Navy's 

technical orientation is the Academy's minimum requirement of having 80 

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

physical sciences, math, or operations analysis. The remaining midshipmen 

may ma1or in one of the humanities or social sciences. 

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

physics and general engineering, are accredited by the Engineering Council 

for Professional Development and lead to designated engineering degrees. 

Choosing a Major 

A midshipman's choice of a major governs the number of related and supporting courses required in science, engineering, mathematics, or foreign 

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

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

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

language. On the other hand, programs in social sciences, international 

studies, and English require a substantial amount of foreign language study, 

but only three semesters of mathematics. 

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

normallv not ready to maJ...e a firm major selection at the beginning of plebe 

year. They may have a general idea of the area of interest, without being 

sure of which major they should take. They may not yet know whether their 

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

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

requirements of the ma1or fields first considered 

For these reasons, selection of a major* is delayed until near the end of the 

Common Plebe Year when the midshipman has had nearly two semesters of 

meaningful academic e,perience in fundamental courses which test ability and 

help to evaluate strengths and weaknesses. 

The Common Plebe Year 

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

program of studv, but at a level suited to individual abilities and academic 

back.ground. These courses are broad enough in scope to provide a sound basis 

for the selection of a major during the latter part of the year At the same time 

they contain an element of commonality which enables the midshipman to 

progress into anv of the majors offered. They include the naval snence 

courses which start professional development The normal academic load for 

a plebe consists of si'< courses each semester as follows.

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

midshipmen with knowledge and skills for practical shipboard use during 

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

serve as preparation for the professional courses and training which come 

during the next three years. 

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

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

power in world affairs. 

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

sequence appropriate to their backgrounds and ability. 

Rhetoric and Lite ra ture. This is a general requirement designed to develop 

the skills in thinking, reading, and writing which are primary tools for further 

education and for professional development.

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

are placed in course sequences of varying difficulty depending upon their 

ability and background. 

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

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

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

Advanced Placement 

Prior to entering the Naval Academy, many midshipmen take courses equivalent to those offered or required here. 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 Examination Board Achievement Tests and 

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

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

desire, or they may elect to carry a lighter academic load. About one-half of 

the members of a plebe class validate at least one course. 

Counseling and Guidance 

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 certain limits, the pace of studies to match their capabilities. 

An average student, for example, will likely take sequential courses as they 

are laid out for normal progress in a given major program. If ready for advanced placerr.ent in some subjects, or able to handle more than the standard 

number of courses, the midshipman may complete the requirements more 

rapidly and gain time for more elective courses. Some midshipmen may even 

complete second majors. 

Although decisions regarding their academic program must be their own, 

the midshipmen have ample opportunities for consultation with faculty members. During the first few weeks at the Naval Academy, they receive about 

20 hours of group and individual counseling on all aspects of the curriculum. 

They also take a number of achievement tests to help determine the levels 

at which studies should begin. 

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

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

spring of plebe year. The adviser, a faculty member from the department in 
which the student has expressed a particular interest, will help define study 

obiectives and will offer guidance towards a logical selection of courses. In 

addition to offering guidance m the selection of courses and in scheduling, 

the faculty adviser concerns himself with the midshipman's over-all academic 

progress and any academic problems encountered from plebe year through 

graduation. 

Nuclear Power Program 

Midshipmen ha·ve the opportunity to apply in the fall of their senior year for 

training in nuclear propulsion following graduation. Candidates selected 

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

Vallejo, Cal., followed by six months training at one of three nuclear reactor 

prototype sites in Idaho, New York, or Connecticut. Completion of the year's 

training leads to assignment in a nuclear powered surface ship or submarine, 

the choice being the ind:vidual's. Midshipmen who aspire to duty in one of 

these exciting ships can acquire a strong foundation by majoring in engineering, science, or mathematics. Judicious choice of elective courses in the 

scientific technical area and energetic application to the entire academic program improve the humanities or management major's chances for selection 

into the program. Each midshipman selected for nuclear propulsion training 

by the Director, Division of Naval Reactors, AEC, regardless of the major, 

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

semester of the senior year to enhance preparation for Nuclear Power School 

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

following chapter). 

Professional Course Requirements 

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

during their first Few years in the Fleet or the Marine Corps, these courses 

contribute to more effective summer training with the Fleet while they are 

midshipmen. Because the professional courses required subsequent to plebe 

year vary slightly, depending on the majors program being followed, those 

requirements are specified with descriptions of the various majors beginning 

on page 85. 

Distribution Requirements 

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

further study in selected majors, midshipmen must satisfy certain distribution

77 

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

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

various majors. 

Academic Organization 

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

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

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

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

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

as focal points for the administration of the majors program and for the 

continuing review and development of the curriculum. The departments are 

chaired by civilian or military members of the faculty. 

The Nimitz Library 

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

members with comprehensive library service in support of the curriculum, 

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

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

Washington and Baltimore areas are available to midshipmen and faculty 

members. Anticipated developments in the Library include the application of 

data processing and closed circuit television techniques to library routines in 

order to provide more modern and efficient service. 

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

study tables, study carrels, and lounge furniture. Included in the building 

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

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

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

housed within the library building. 

Academic Computing Facilities 

The Naval Academy has one of the most modern and extensive time-shared 

computer systems to be found at any college or university in America. Here 

similar to a library, the computer is recognized as an essential educational resource for broad usage by midshipmen. Over two hundred remote computer

terminals have been located throughout the Academy in areas convenient to 

midshipmen and faculty. They are accessible from 8 a. m. until midnight 

seven days a week. A wide variety of useful computer languages are offered 

such as BASIC, FORTRAN, ALGOL, APL, and many others. Courses in 

virtually every academic department have felt the impact of the computer. An 

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

The Educational Resources Center 

The Educational Resources Center at the Naval Academy covers a broad range 

of services. 1 t is responsible for production and distribution of closed circuit 

TV programming over the Academy's 12-channel system. Also under its jurisdiction is a lending library of educational films, an audio-visual equipment 

loan pool, and a graphic arts section. An audio-visual room, located in Nimitz 

Library, is maintained with videocassette programs for use by midshipmen as 

a remedial and tutorial tool. In addition, ERC maintains the Academy's combat information center (CIC) and planetarium. 

Special Programs 

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

limited number of exceptionally capable midshipmen carry out independent 

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

academic program for the year. Scholars are assisted in their projects by one 

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

Grading 

The Naval Academy employs the letter grades, A, B, C, D, and F (A denoting 

excellence; F, failing), which are in tum assigned a numerical Quality Point 

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

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

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

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

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

a Cumulative QPR (CQPR) is based upon all academic marks assigned to 

date.

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

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

placed on academic probation for the following semester. A midshipman is 

also placed on probation for the semester following any two consecutive 

semesters in which the semester QPR is below 2.0, even though the cumulative QPR remains above 2.0. If a midshipman's grades at the 10th week of 

the semester fall below required standards, he receives a progress report bearing the notation "warning" (or " probation," if already on academic probation). 

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

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

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

in determining class standing. 

A midshipman may be recommended for discharge by the Academic Board 

for failure to remove probation or failure of two courses in any one semester, 

falling behind two courses in a given major, failure to achieve a semester QPR 

of at least 1.5 for any given semester, or failure to fulfill a condition prescribed by the Academic Board as a result of a previous deficiency. 

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

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

of at least 3.4 with no grade below C, and with grades of A in aptitude and 

conduct and B or better in physical education. Called " star midshipmen," they 

proudly wear a gold star on the lapels of their uniforms. The Dean's List 

honors midshipmen with a minimum SQPR of 3.4 with no failure (" F") in 

any academic course or other area, including professional studies, aptitude, 

conduct, and physical education. 

Graduation Requirements 

To qualify for graduation a midshipman must : 

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

at-sea training; 

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

physical education; 

(3) Complete the courses specified for the assigned major; 

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

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

average; 

(6) Accept a commission in the U. 5. Navy or U. 5. Marine Corps if proferred. 
All midshipmen who graduate are awarded the Bachelor of Science degree by 

the Superintendent upon the recommendation of the Commandant and the 

Academic Dean, as approved by the Academic Board. 

Residence 

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

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

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

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

Schedule of Instruction 

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

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

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

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

for active classroom participation by each midshipman and for individuaJ 

attention to students on the part of the instrnctor. 

Academic Emphasis 

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

best be summarized as follow: 

Seven designated Bachelor of Science Degrees. 

Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Aerospace Engineering Major 

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

incompressible fluid Aows, conventional and advanced propulsion systems, vehicle per• 

formance, stability and control, and modern structural mechanics. It deals primarily with 

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

and sound engineering techniques are stressed. 

The curriculum provides for various research projects and choice of a wide variety of 

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

include a Right test aircraft, a small surface effect vehicle, and a variable stability flight 

simulator. Computer techniques are emphasized for data reduction, design, and graphic 

display. 

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

Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering is awarded.

Marine Engineering Major 

This ECPD accredited major is concerned with the analysis and design ot propulsion 

power plant systrms. It is nuclear engineering oriented. Students completing this program 

can expect to continue their education in the 1\·.n·y'$ Nuclear Power Program or m nuclear 

or marine engineering graduate studies. 

A broad background in engineering fundamentals is pro\•ided students who thtm appl\' 
these principles in their studies of conventional steam and nuclear power plants, gas 

turbines. and such advanced power systems as fuel cells and thermoelectric units. 

A course covering the principles of naval engineering systems develops an understanding or the principles or ship design and construction and introduces students to the 

problem,; or analyzing and designing systems for use in the ocean environment. Studies 

in modern physics prepare them for the reactor physics and reactor engineering course~ 

Studies in heat transfer- so essential m the study of modern propulsion power systems 

follow. Knowledge gained from these studies is then used in the analysis of marine pro• 

pulsion plants and in group designs of future propulsion systems. 

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

low ·water plane catamaran1 preliminary design of a submarine waste disposal system, 

and the concept design of an offshore nuclear power plant. A B,1chelor of Science in 

~1arine Engineering is awarded

Naval architecture/ an ECPD accredited major, unlike most engineering discipline') unified J. D HITTLE 

by the nature of the phenomena involved., originally came into being as a discipline be 

cause of a !>ingle end-product, the ship. A special combination of knowledge and experience is needed to develop, design, and build this single product. Variety exists not only 

in the kinds: or work (design, research, cost estimation, management, etc.), but also in the 

type, of craft involved from sail boats lo aircraft carriers, from hydrofoil boats lo 

catamarans. from submarines to air cushion vehicles. 

Naval architects use both art and science in designing ships. Armed with imagination and experience, they convert the owner'~ functional requirements into a suitable cost• 

rffoctive design. They analyze and select the besl dimensions and hull form; they calculate 

the power requirementfi and e~timate the weights of the principal components. They design 

and analy1e the hull structure and decide on the location of military subsystems, 

machinery sp,1ces~ accommodations, and stores. Additionally, the ship must be divided 

into watertight compartments so that, if damaged, the chancec; or survival are maximum. 

Weighing and compromising all such conflicling needs in the design of the ship are the 

creative and challenging responsibilities of the naval architect 93

oceans is more tlurn a

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

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

the latest in computer-aided design and analysis techniques. A Bachelor of Science in

ciples to hardware systems m the ocean environment. The curriculum stresses fundamentals of mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and 

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

courses which include analysis of ocean materials, power systems, acoustics. wave 

mechanics. life-support systems, and a ,.._,ide varitty of ocean vehicles and structures, 

Laboratory experiments are conducted in an 85-foot to,"lng tank equipped with a 

pneumatic ""·ave-maker and mstrumented with sophisticated sensors and on-line dati1 

acquisition and analysis equipment. The 1':aval Academy'" computer systems are used in 

solving design problems. Sediment laboratory and environmental chamber facilities are 

also available. Midsh,pmen have designed and are building an undersea habitat which 

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

upon successful completion of the program.

Chemistry Major 

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

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

Serious students of chemistry have ample opportunity to experiment and observe as they 

pursue the scienliftc method. Laboratory equipment includes single-pan balances, gas 

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

spectrometers. 

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

fundamental principles of chemistry and modern experimental techniques is highly 

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

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

The chemistry major is approved by the American Chemical Society.

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

tn such a way as to emphasize their general usefulness and (2) lays a strong foundation 

for further worl.. in a broad range of technical fields, Some of the topics treated in the 

sequence of courses are the origin, propagation, and reception of waves of all kinds, field 

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

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

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

subsequent specializahon in a ny technical area

Engineering Physics Major 

Engineering Physics is an inter-disciplinary major providing bala.nced course sequences in 

physics, mechanical engineering, and mathematics. The broad scope of the course prepares 

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

program, midshipmen are encouraged lo develop insight into the application of concepts 

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

Engineering Physics provides a sound background for further concentration in physics, 

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

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

foundation for the nuclear power training program.

Management and Technology Major 

The Management and Technology major examines existing theor)• and praclice in the man-

.1gement of personnel, material, and financial resources. The program provides the future 

naval officer with an understanding of the ba sic functions of management and the mathematical techniques employed to recognize, analyze, and solve management problems; to 

set and monitor progress toward realistic goals; and to use the most appropriate techniques 

in decision-making. 

A planned sequence of engineering courses within the major reflects increased emphasis 

on technology and, in conjunction with the engineering courses in the professional cur· 

ricu1um, provides a sound background in engineering fundamentals.

Professional Training Courses 

The Commandant of Midshipmen directs the Academy's professional training 

program, which is a vital part of each midshipman's development during the 

four years at the Academy. It includes instruction, drills, and practical training conducted during the academic year, as well as summer training conducted 

away from the Academy with Fleet operational and training units. 

Midshipmen are graded on their interest and performance in the professional program Just as they are on their performance in the academic program. A midshipman's over-all class standing at graduation depends very 

significantly on his or her grades in professional training. 

An outline of the professional training program follows.

Varsity and Intramural Athletics 

Just as the Naval Academy has a responsibility for the professional and 

intellectual development of midshipmen, so, also, must it fulfill its responsibility for their physical development. The late John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a 

World War II naval officer who rose to the highest office in the land, underscored the importance of athletics generally in his thoughts about football: 

"I sometimes wonder whether those of us who love football fully appreciate 

its great lesson: that dedication, discipline, and teamwork are necessary. We 

take it for granted that the players will spare no sacrifice to become alert, 

strong, and skilled, that they will give their best on the field. This is as it 

should be, and we must never expect less, but I am extremely anxious that its 

implications not be lost upon us." And, when President Gerald Ford visited 

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

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

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

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

Midshipmen have carved an outstanding reputation in 21 sports from football 

to fencing, sailing to squash, and golf to gymnastics. Two Navy football 

players- halfback Joe Bellino and quarterback Roger Staubach-won the 

Heisman Trophy, the college gridiron's most coveted individual prize, within 

a period of four years. And, just this past season, roverback Chet Moeller 

was on everyone's All-America. 

Navy heavyweight crews captured the Olympic gold medal for eight-oared 

shells at Antwerp, Belgium in 1920, and in Helsinki, Finland in 1952. And a 

former Navy oarsman-Alan B. Shepard-was America's first man in space. 

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

over a six-year, 48-game span. And, from 1960-67, the Navy lacrosse team 

reeled off eight consecutive national championships, a feat unparalleled in 

lacrosse history. They won again in 1970, and were runners-up in 1975.

"The Nnval Academy

man not only for football but for life. And to 

develop yourself as n 

man is the most important thing for everyone."

146 

Through the intercollegiate program, one of the largest in the nation, and 

an intramural schedule that is equally ambitious, the Naval Academy fulfills 

its responsibility for the physical development of midshipmen. Academy 

athletics are big, nationally known and respected, and put a high premium 

on excellence 

Football at the Naval Academy dates from 1679, 1ust 10 years after Rutgers 

and Princeton introduced the sport at New B"runsw1ck. The midshipmen have 

been to four bowl games, and nothing better symbolizes the Naval Academy 

athletic program than the Armv-Navy football game, a sports event in the 

same galaxy as the World Series, the Kentucky Derby, and the Rose Bowl. 

There is enough of a variety in ~avy's intercollegiate lineup to satisfy 

virtually everyone's athletic tastes. In the fall, there is football, cross country, 

soccer, ISO-pound football, and sailing. \,Vinter is the most active time of year 

with nine different sports in season-basketball, fencing, gymnastics, pistol, 

rifle, squash, swimming, track, and wrestling. The spring schedule includes 

baseball, heavyweight crew, lightweight crew, golf, lacrosse, sailing, tennis, 

and track. 

Women will be encouraged to try out for, and participate as competitors, 

along with male midshipmen, in all 21 Naval Academy sponsored intercollegiate sports except football, lacrosse, and wrestling. 

Army traditionallv is Navv's top opponent and the service rivals clash in a 

total of 16 engagements during the athletic year. Annapolis teams also face 

the perennial collegiate strongboys in every sport-Notre Dame in foothall, 

Columbia and New York University in fencing, Lehigh in wrestling, Harvard 

and Pennsylvania in crew, and \t[aryland in basketball, to name a few. 

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

the Brigade represented bv the intramural sports program. Every midshipman, with the exception of varsitv athletes, must take part. Here all can 

participate, each at a level equal to individual athletic ability. Women will be 

excluded, however, from participating as players in the following battalio·1-

level, contact intramural sports: football, lacrosse, boxing, rugbv, and wrestling. Intramural sports include: 

Basketball Football Softball Track 

Boxing Handball Squash \'olleyball 

Crew Knockabout sailing Swimming Water polo 

Cross country Latrosse Team handball Weightlifting 

Fencing Rugby Tennis Wrestling 

Field Ball Soccer Touch football 
Excelient physical facilities support the program. Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, seating 28,000 fans between the goal lines, was dedicated in 

1959. Halsey Field House is surfaced throughout with Tartan and includes a 

220-yard indoor track. There are more than 80 acres of lighted playing fields, 

an indoor swimming pool, a 5,000-seat baseball park, a challenging 6,217-

yard championship golf course, and an impressive sprawl of tennis, squash, 

handball, and badminton courts. An Astro-turf field provides an all-weather 

practice area for football, lacrosse, and soccer, and a recently completed indoor skating rink provides for hockey and other skating activities. 

The athletic program is administered by the Naval Academy Athletic 

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

equipment. 

"If you don't have any 

athletic interest you 

probably won't be 

happy here. I've 

learned to play and 

really enjoy a lot of 

sports thnt 1 probably 

wouldn't even have 

known about at another 

school."

Extracurricular Activities 

Life at the Academy offers midshipmen a wide-ranging choice of over 70 different extracurricular activities. All are organized and sustained by the Brigade 

of Midshipmen themselves. From sky-diving to scuba diving; from an FM 

radio station, WRNV, to the ham radio club, W3ADO; from a barber shop 

quartet to a 150-man chapel choir, from blue water ocean sailing to small 

day-sailors on the Chesapeake Bay; from hockey to rugby football ; midshipmen are involved in exciting pastimes. 

In general, the extracurricular activities (ECA's) fall into three areas: 

recreational, professional, and Brigade-support, and it is not uncommon for a 

midshipman to be a member in one or two from each group. 

One of the most popular recreational ECA's is offered through activities of 

the Midshipmen Sailing Squadron. With one of the finest sailing Aeets in the 

world, squadron members have the use of the four Class " A" ocean racing 

sloops, twelve 44-foot Luders-designed fiberglass yawls and thirty 24-foot 

converted Rainbow-class knockabouts. 

The Academy sponsors numerous intercollegiate and Chesapeake Bay regattas. Both the McMillan Cup and the John F. Kennedy Memorial regattas 

are hosted by the Academy in the yawls. During the summer, the larger 

yachts (56-foot sloop Syren, 46-foot Attenger, 40-foot Ranger, and 46-foot 

/11s11rgente) are sailed in the open sea in such races as the Trans-Atlantic, 

the Bermuda, and the Annapolis-Newport races. Other races include the 

Gibson Island Yacht Squadron race to Cape May, the Chesapeake Lightship 

race, the Cape May to Newport race, the Marblehead-Hal if ax race, and the 

Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro race. Midshipmen skipper the yachts in Chesapeake Bay races and serve as crew members in ocean races. 

Aside from its highly popular recreational side, sailing at the Academy has 

a serious professional purpose. For the skills and knowledge of seamanship 

and the sea gained under sail are the same basic skills and knowledge which 

have been used by seamen for centuries. They are as relevant in bringing a 

ship safely home to port today as they ever were. Thus, by developing better

seamen, the Academy's sailing program contributes to the development of 

better naval officers. 

The Scuba Club offers basic scuba diving courses taught by midshipmen 

instructors, all certified by the YMCA. The club provides tanks and regulators. Students purchase their own skin diving equipment from the club's dive 

shop at break-even prices. Over 200 divers are trained each year in basic or 

advanced diving. Once qualified, a member can enjoy club-sponsored trips 

during weekend liberties or leave periods to the Florida Keys, Virgin lslands, 

or Bermuda and to the wartime wrecks off the nearby coasts of North Carolina and New Jersey. 

The Parachute Club also has its own midshipmen instructors. All are 

certified by the United States Parachute Association. Sport jumps are made by 

club members at a nearby parachute center. The club performs demonstration 

jumps at the Academy during half-time shows, June Week, and during Plebe 

Summer. Members are afforded an opportunity to qualify for military jump 

wings during summer leave at the Army's Special Warfare Training Center, 

Fort Benning, Georgia. 

The Sportsman Club includes hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, backpacking, cycling, and skeet shooting. Because of the variety of popular 

activities offered, membership is one of the largest at the Academy. 

Professional ECA's at the Academy include a number of academically 

oriented clubs. Nationally recognized academic clubs and societies include the 

Amencan Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Institute of Electrical and 

Electronics Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American

Marine Technology Society and Omicron Delta Epsilon (economics and management). 

The Naval Academy Yard Patrol Squadron, offering another type of professional ECA at the Academy, is organized for midshipmen who desire additional training afloat. This voluntary training supplements the curriculum at 

the Academy and summer training with the Fleet. The Squadron consists of 

six 80-foot YP craft, one being assigned to each battalion. 

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

those of Fleet destroyer squadrons on duty around the world. The midshipmen officers are selected for their ability to fulfill command positions. The 

midshipman selected as squadron commodore is responsible for the overall 

performance and excellence of the squadron, inclucling the coordination of 

training, proficiency competition, inspections, and cruises. Midshipmen assist-
ing the commodore include a chief staff officer, two division commanders, and 

an administrahon officer Completing the staff is an engineering officer, who 

supervises training in engineering and who ensures that engineering equipment is operated and maintained properly. Each yard patrol craft is commanded by a first or second classman who is assisted by a 20-man crew composed of midshipmen from all classes. 

Training is serious business during the week. Crews get underway on 

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

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

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

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

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

The ECA's providing support to the Brigade are wide-ranging and popular. 

The Glee Club and three additional choirs involve hundreds of midshipmen. 

The Drum and Bugle Corps, a company size unit, performs intricate marching routines while playing traditional martial pieces or specially adapted 

popular tunes. The Trident Brass, a concert-caliber organization, performs 

several times a year. The Midshipmen Modem Music Bands include four 

rock groups. The Pep Band, a rousing combination of Dixieland, blues and 

fight songs, leads the Brigade at pep rallies and sporting events. 

The Masqueraders, the midshipmen drama and theater group, provide firstrate stage entertainments. The Brigade Hop Committee sponsors dozens of 

formal and informal dances. And the Juice Gang provides electrical and lighting support for plays and hops (dances) as well as for concerts by nationally 

recognized entertainers sponsored by the midshipmen's Popular Music Concert Committee. 

Members of the Brigade publish the L11cky Bag, the yearbook for each 

class, the Trident Calendar, a favorite Christmas gift embellished with photographs and cartoons; the Loi(., a literary and professional magazine featuring 

more than its share of campus humor; and Reef Points, the "Plebe's Bible," 

a po(ket size guide to Academy and Navy customs, lore and tradition (it also 

serves as a good dictionary for parents and friends to decipher midshipmen 

letters) 

In short, the broad range of extracurriculars offered at the Naval Academy 

offer something for everyone. For leisure-time entertainment. For professional 

enrichment. And, it's safe lo sav, for just plain fun.

Administration, Staff, and Faculty 

The administration of the Naval Academy is in many respects analogous to 

that of any college. A Board of Visitors performs the broad supervisory functions of a board of trustees. The Superintendent, a flag officer of the Navy, 

is the equivalent of a college president, and acts as the executive head of the 

Academy. He is assisted by the Commandant of Midshipmen, whose function 

is somewhat like that of a dean of students; the Academic Dean; and an 

administrative staff. The Superintendent, the Commandant, the Academic 

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

which makes major academic decisions and sets the academic standards for 

the Academy. Military, professional, and physical training come under the 

Commandant. The Academic Dean heads the academic program. Today's 

600-man Naval Academy faculty is an integrated group of officers and civilians in approximately equal numbers. The officers, rotated at intervals of 

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

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

teaching experience, as well as continuity to the educational program. 

The Board of Visitors 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

States.

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

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

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

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

Each will also be required to subscribe to the following agreement under oath 

"For and in consideration of tire privileges, opportu11ities, and benefits afforded me 

during the co11ti1111a11ce of my service as a midshipma11, I agree to and with the 

Superi11te11de11/ of the U11ited States Naval Academy, as follows· 

"First· To enter the servrce of the Navy of tire United States and, to the 11tmost of 

my power and ability, to be in everytlri11g co11formable a11d obedie11t to tire several

prophylaxis), a11d to s11cl1 other preventitic measures as may be considered necessary by naval authorities." 

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

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

Penni/ to Report issued by the Superintendent U. S. Naval Academy. Living 

accommodations in the city of Annapolis are limited and candidates are therefore 

urged to time their arri\'als in Annapolis to coincide as closely as possible with the 

reporting time and date, keeping in mind, however, that transportation facilities between Washington and Annapolis and between Baltimore and Annapolis are 

limited. 

Midshipmen who are involuntarily separated from the Naval Academy prior to 

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

equipment deemed suitable for reissue, to ,In amount sufficient to liquidate their indebtedness If reclaimed ,1rticles ,,re insufficient to cover the indebtedness, parents will 
be given an opportunity to pay the remaining debt; failing this, the remainder of the 

debt is cancelled. Midshipmen applying for voluntary separation for their own convenience are required to repay in full the amount of indebtedness prior to separation. 

Every candidate must present a Social Security card upon reporting for appointment. If an individual has not obtained a Social Security number as a result of 

work experience prior to entering, one should be obtained based on the length of 

expected employment as a midshipman. 

Upon entrance, midshipmen will be required to obtain a regulation entrance outfit from the midshipmen's storekeeper. Slide rules and drawing sets are included in 

the outfit. Candidates are advised, therefore, not to purchase these items prior to 

entering the Academy. 

After being admitted to the Naval Academy, midshipmen receive travel and 

transportation allowances as prescribed in Joint Travel Regulations (ordinarily, 

mileage allowance of 8 cents per mile for authonzed travel). Midshipmen will be 

reimbursed for the actual cost of their fares in commercial ships provided no government transportation was available. In those cases in which travel originates outside the United States, candidates must contact the nearest naval activity for information as to the availability of government transportation before endeavoring 

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

to be reimbursed after becoming a midshipman 

Shortly after entrance, each midshipman (except foreign nationals) will be required to complete a statement of personal history. Candidates should be prepared 

to furnish such information as: 

Names and locaN011s of all schools attended. 

Fnmily names, dates and places of birth of parents, sen,ice dntn if parents nre or 

were in armed forces; naturali:nNon 11111nbers of parents if applicable.

Names and addresses of three credit allfl five perso11al references (credit references

Residences during past 15 years (Dates, street addresses, and cities nre req11ired.) 

Candidates admitted as midshipmen will be required to submit documentary 

evidence of birth to the Supenntendent, U 5. Naval Academy. A certified copy of 

the public record of birth is the best evidence. Supporting evidence will be required 

if the name on the evidence of birth 1s not identical with the name of the candidate. 

Except for candidates entering the Academy as citizens of certain foreign countries, 

as provided by law, all candidates born outside the United States must show proof 

of U S. citizenship in the form of a Department of State, consular, or other governmental report of birth

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

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

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

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

Naval and Marine Corps Officers' Graduate Education Programs 

The vast majonty of Annapolis graduates go directly to sea or to the Fleet Manne 

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

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

number of graduate scholarships Several of these scholarships require enrollment 

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

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

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

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

graduate studies at a later time in their careers. 

1u:--:1OR u:-.:E OFFICER ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC EDUCATIONAL 

(BURKE) PROGRAM 

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

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

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

approved disciplines.
