Catalog 1971-72 

Annapolis, Maryland 

Mission 

To prepare young men 

morally, mentally, and physically 

to be professional officers 

in the Naval Service. 

Gentlemen 

The challenge that confronts every young man in deciding what to do with 

his life after graduation from high school has never been as difficult, nor 

as crucial to the future of th.is nation, as it is for you today. These are 

troubled times and if we are to endure and prosper as a free country we 

must ensure that tomorrow's leaders have the requisite toughness of mind, 

spirit, and character to overcome the difficulties that are upon us now and 

those that loom large on the horizon. If you are the type of young man 

willing to meet the challenge head-on, then I ask that you give careful 

consideration to what Annapolis has to offer. 

The educational program at the Naval Academy is one of the finest in the 

country. It is flexible, of high quality, and is conducted in a physical plant 

equalled by few colleges or universities in the United States. But Annapolis 

offers much more than an education. It provides training in leadership which 

will stand you in good stead throughout your life and it is dedicated to the 

inculcation of those characteristics of manliness, duty, and honor which 

have always been associated with service to our nation on the highest level. 

Annapolis offers you a sophisticated and advanced education, tailorable to 

many of your individual wishes and aptitudes-but much more important, 

it is dedicated to developing within its graduates an understanding of 

what it means to be a competent and conscientious professional officer. 

The road through Annapolis is not an easy one, but I can assure you from 

personal experience that it points to a bright future and promises as exciting, 

varied, and rewarding a career as is open to the young men of America 

anywhere today.

I: Jubilee Years 

The great majority of the people who visit the Naval Academy each year 

eventually wend their way to the waterfront area bordering the juncture of 

the Severn River with the Chesapeake Bay. Here, when she is not cruising 

the Bay or blue water racing in the Atlantic, rests the queen of the Naval 

Academy sailing squadron, the seventy-three-foot ketch ]11bilrc Ill. No one 

can help but be captivated by the beauty of her gleaming black hull, her lofty 

masts, her intricate maze of rigging and compact topside equipment. 

As one's eyes begin to trace the details of this magnificent sailing ketch 

and one's mind begins to focus upon the carefully wrought design with its 

promise of speed and seaworthiness on the high seas, a glimmer of understanding of what the Naval Academy 1s all about begins to take shape. For 

this descendant of the sailing ships of old, which carried man and his commerce to all reaches of the globe and which shaped mankind much as man 

shaped timber and canvas to conquer the seas, is manned and sailed by midshipmen of the Naval Academy Not all midshipmen, of course, pursue their 

interest in sailing as avidly as the carefully selected crew of the Jubilee, but 

for those who do, the experiences and lessons gained from taming the 

lubill'e represent on a smaller scale the total objectives of the Naval Academy 

program. 

This program is a carefully balanced effort designed to provide every member of the Brigade with a vigorous academic challenge and demanding professional experience that emphasizes leadership and personal accountability. 

For, just as a Jubilee crew member must learn the intricacies of the boat, so 

must he, as every other midshipman, devote himself to an academic curriculum that offers concentrated work in any one of 24 ma1or fields of study 

ranging from engineering, mathematics, science, oceanography, management, 

foreign language, to U. 5. and international affairs. Over 400 courses of every 

description make up the curriculum, while the supporting facilities and 

equipment found in the laboratories and classrooms rank among the finest in 

the country. 

Q 
The even mix of civilian academicians and officer faculty members is 

unique among Service academies and this combination has long been recognized as one of the basic educational strengths of the Naval Academy. The 

civilian members of the faculty provide continuity to the academic program 

and a proven mastery of academic disciplines, while the officer faculty members bring to the curriculum fresh experience from the Fleet and technical 

bureaus of the Navy Department. A large percentage of these officers hold 

advanced degrees in their fields and this blend of scholarship and practical 

experience sustains a spirit of vitality and currency in the curriculum that 

can rarely be found elsewhere. The academic program offers no easy pathsindeed there are none at the Academy. It does, however, ensure that every 

graduate can be confident that he has undertaken and completed an academic 

program second to none. 

The sailor of Jubilee must do more than learn the arts and skills of seamanship if he is to gain the full benefit of this extracurricular sport. He must 

also learn teamwork and experience the satisfaction that comes from being a 

member of a group devoted to excellence. This is the breeding ground of 

leadership and, when a man's turn comes, as it always does, he must know 

and understand the demands of teamwork and discipline before he can take 

the lead and fulfill his own potential. Is there anyone content to follow others 

throughout his career? Not at the Naval Academy. At Annapolis the mission 

is to prepare young men for command, for the chafe and weight of responsibility, for the consequences of their own personal efforts. 

Throughout its 126-year history the Naval Academy has consistently 

offered this nation able leaders, trained and tested, ready to be accountable. 

It has been this balanced approach of a sound education and the development 

of leadership ability that has thrust Naval Academy graduates to the forefront in defense of their country, in the exploration of the unknown regions 

from pole to pole, under the seas and into outer space, and has given their 

advice a ring of authority in the highest councils of our government. It is in 

these dimensions that the Naval Academy stakes a claim rivaled by few other 

institutions of higher learning today 

A young man who seeks a life of service. welcomes responsibility, aspires 

to leadership, and has a taste for adventure and things new can find no better 

beginning than that offered at Annapolis. The program, as said before, is 

tough- it cannot be any other way, a vigorous academic curriculum, a vigor10 
ous professional ,environment, and a vigorous physical fitness program of 

varsity and intramural athletics. Everyone participates, everyone is involved. 

Long before college contemporaries began their drive for greater participation 

in campus affairs the midshipmen were quietly and responsibly organizing 

and managing Brigade activities, administering a system of discipline and an 

Honor Concept, planning and implementing the myriad of extracurricular 

and professional activities that take place each year. Recently, midshipmen 

have taken seats on the major policy boards of the Naval Academy and their 

insights and recommendations have had a marked impact upon both the 

short and long range objectives of the Academy. 

While no suggestion is made that the Naval Academy is other than a military organization, it does not follow that discipline in itself is the prime 

motivating factor in the performance and attainments of the Brigade. Quite 

the contrary, military discipline is the framework from which the individual 

learns the lessons of self-discipline and from there moves to the exercise of 

leadership. The judgment of his seniors, peers, and subordinates is the measure that midshipmen recognize as the true test of leadership, and this is what, 

in the final analysis, makes the Annapolis program believable and relevantthis is what prepares young men for the challenges and opportunities of 

commissioned service. 

The U. 5. Naval Academy belongs to the young men of America. If you are 

one who wants to take life in big chunks- one who wants to mix adventure, 

knowledge, and service with leadership and responsibility to get the most out 

of the future-then match the following pages with other college catalogs. 

Not every young man will reach the same conclusion, but only you can 

measure your own potential against the opportunity of Annapolis.

II: The Years 1845- 1971 

Prruntottcm of Colors, 

about 161$ 

Through the years 1845 to 1971, as the nation's responsibilities and need for 

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

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

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

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

professional leadership and performance expected in the United States Navy. 

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

Honorable George Bancroft, distinguished historian and educator, and Secretary of the Navy in President James K. Polk's Cabinet. Located on the 

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

Bay in historic Annapolis, Maryland, the Academy's first Superintendent was 

Commander Franklin Buchanan. His seven-member faculty of four officers 

and three civilians taught gunnery, naval tactics, engineering, chemistry, 

mathematics, astronomy, French, and English. Sixty midshipmen, comprising 

two classes, attended the Academy's first convocation. 

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

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

provided the midshipmen with seagoing experience to augment their classroom 

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

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

During the Civil War, the Brigade was moved temporarily to Newport, 

Rhode Island. Following the war, it was returned to Annapolis, where it has 

since remained. During these early years, the Academy was one of the few 

institutions in America offering a sophisticated technical undergraduate program. 

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

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

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

Academy. Michelson continued his brilliant scientific work after leaving the 

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

13 
Civil l\'ar midshipman Midshipmen in rt'admg room, 1697 

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

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

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

Other distinguished graduates include Alfred Thayer Mahan, whose profound writings on seapower and their influence on history are still the world 

standard in the field, and a succession of renowned military leaders in peace 

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

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

greatness are midshipmen today. 

Following accreditation of the Naval Academy in 1930 by the Association 

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

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

beginning with the Class of 1931. In 1939, Congress authorized the awarding of the 8.5. degree to all living graduates. ·The Middle Stales Association 

of Colleges and Secondary Schools first accredited the Academy in 1947 

14 
Vittut of Nrioal Academy1 1891 

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

Academy-prepared entrance examinations. 

The Immediate Graduate Education Program was initia ted in the fall of 

1966 to provide the opportunity for qualified midshipmen to continue their 

studies immediately after graduation in accelerated master's programs at 

participating universities or at the Naval Postgraduate School. Also in 1966, 

an Academic Advisory Board of distinguished Americans was appointed by 

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

academic matters. 

Midshipmen have won an impressive number of academic honors through 

the years. Midshipmen of the Class of 1970 were awarded many top scholarships, including two National Science Foundation, six Guggenheim, eight 

Olmstead, eleven Burke, and fourteen other scholarships, fellowships, or 

trusteeships at sponsoring civilian universities. Thirty-seven midshipmen of 

the Class of 1970 were selected for the Navy's Immediate Graduate Education Program.

Yard and Facilities 

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

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

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

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

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

is available. 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 302 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

completed in 1965. 

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

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

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

finest traditions. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

educational television will be provided throughout the academic complex. All 

academic areas will be air-conditioned.

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

largest dormitory complex in the world. Stretching over many acres, it houses 

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

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

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

are small Protestant and Catholic chapels, with chaplain's offices adjoining. 

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

mess hall. Here, midshipmen demonstrate their enthusiasm for the appetizing, 

freshly prepared meals by taking a 4,500-calorie daily diet in stride. 

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

post office, a library, an assembly hall, a bookstore, and the midshipmen's 

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

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

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

with their dates.

III: Life at Annapolis 

Mission 

The Naval Academy is charged with the responsibility of preparing midshipmen for service as commissioned officers in the U. 5. 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 imbued with the finest sense of duty, honor, and loyalty, and that they 

are physically prepared for the rigors of commissioned service. This is a 

threefold mission that requires careful organization and a clear set of priorities. During the academic year, first priority is given to studies and each 

midshipman has ample time for out-of-classroom study and research. 

On weekdays, following the last class of the day, midshipmen participate 

in intramural or varsity sports and other extra-curricular activities. 

During the summer months the emphasis swings to professional training 

and all midshipmen engage in a program of summer cruises at sea or training 

and indoctrination visits to select naval training activities. Upon completion 

of his assigned summer training program each midshipman enjoys an extended leave period. 

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. Tn 

21 
carrying out these responsibilities the Commandant is assisted by an immediate staff, designated the Office of the Commandant, and six subordinate 

departments or groups of officers. The Office of the Commandant is composed 

of the Deputy Commandant, the Executive Assistant to the Commandant, 

and three subordinate divisions: Operations, Administration, and First Lieutenant. The six departments reporting to the Commandant, each with a 

functional area of responsibility, include the Medical Department, 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, Navy lieutenants and lieutenant commanders and Marine Corps 

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

the midshipmen in Bancroft Hall Here, by precept and example, the application of sound techniques of leadership, counsel, and guidance, and, when 

required, corrective or disciplinary action, the midshipman is measured, 

molded, and motivated for the day when he will join the Navy or the Marine 

Corps as a commissioned officer. 

For purposes of military training and administration, the 4,200-man Brigade 

of Midshipmen is divided into two regiments, each of which is divided into 

three battalions. The six battalions are each divided into six companies. Midshipmen of all four classes are assigned to each company, which is the basic 

military and organizational unit for numerous competitive activities during 

the year 

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

and their subordinate platoons, is under the command of a First Classman, 

aided by his m1dsh1pmen staff and assistants. Midshipmen are selected by 

the Brigade Officers for these commands and staffs on the basis of their 

demonstrated proficiency in leadership and their other officer-like qualities. 

Years of Development 

The incoming midshipmen are officially designated Midshipmen Fourth Class, 

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

Third Classmen or youngsters, Second Classmen, and finally, in their senior 

year, Midshipmen First Class.

Plebe Year. The new midshipman undergoes a comprehensive program of 

military training and indoctrination from his first day at the Academy until 

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

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

under close superv1s1on and careful guidance. Plebe indoctrinatton is administered by midshipmen of the First Class, assisted by the Second Classmen, and 

closely supervised by the Commandant and the Brigade Officers. 

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

other phases of midshipmen training and education, the system directly 

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

a basic understanding of military relationships and the military environment. 

Its aim is to teach each plebe to 

Exercise self-discipline, 

Organize his time and effort effectively, 

Perform efficiently under stress, 

Think and react quickly with good judgment, 

Exhibit an exemplary military bearing and appearance. 

Plebe year is designed to test and develop. It is a deliberate period of testing, requiring a midshipman to stand on his own feet, lo produce under pressure, to respond promptly and intelligently lo orders and, finally, to measure 

up lo 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 an the vast midshipmen's mess 

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

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

behind. 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic 

skills an seamanship, navigation, and gunnerv. lnfantr) drill, firing an M-1 

rifle under the supervision of U 5. Marines, s,1iling Navy yawls, and cruising 

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

Team spirit ,1nd the desire to win are developed through competition in a 

24 
wide range of activities, including athletics, dress parades, seamanship, and 

talent shows. 

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

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

A dress parade, exhibitions in sports, and the opportunity to go sailing with 

their sons help to assure parents that their sons are taking their new life as 

midshipmen in stride. 

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

other summer activities. The academic year gets underway. Four years of 

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

indoctrination continues. 

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

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

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

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

the Hudson, the cadets of West Point. 

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

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

June, and gives all midshipmen a welcome break in the academic routine. 

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

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

the second semester. Another three days of leave break the academic routine 

during the spring. 

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

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

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

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

Sea training is followed by 30 days of leave. 

During his first taste of life a t sea in the Navy, the midshipman comes to 

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

upon whom he will depend as an officer. He serves in many capacities and 

actively participates in a wide range of shipboa rd operations. He stands deck, 

gunnery, operations, and engineering watches; he operates ship's boats, and 

exercises at general shipboard drills. 

With the completion of at-sea training and summer leave, Third Classmen 

25 
return to the Academy to begin their second academic year. And, although 

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

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

Following the completion of academic study during Third Class Year and 

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

Classmen. 

Second Class Year. During a fast-moving summer, the class undertakes professional studies at the Naval Academy, completes familiarization and flight 

indoctrination in naval training and operational aircraft at naval air stations 

in Florida, and receives familiarization training in those four warfare specialties which comprise the naval service. At the Naval Academy he receives an 

indoctrinat10n to the submarine service through lectures and visits on board 

submarines of the U. 5. Atlantic Fleet. Traveling to Newport, Rhode Island, 

the new Second Classman attends a familiarization course at the U. S. Naval 

Destroyer School and visits destroyers homeported there. Flight indoctrination 

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

knowledge of the duties of an officer choosing a career in naval aviation. 

Introduction to the techniques of vertical envelopment and amphibious assault, provided by the Marine Corps at one of their major training facilities, 

completes the summer's professional training. 

Following summer leave, as the Second Class midshipmen return to the 

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

the Brigade during periodic absences of the First Class. An important role in 

the indoctrination of the new Fourth Class is undertaken by the Second Class. 

In addition to contributing to the development of the Fourth Classmen, this 

responsibility makes a vital contribution to the Second Classmen's growth as 

leaders. There is little time for watching the calendar. And, before long, another June Week has come and gone, and First Class Year is underway. 

First Class Year. During their last summer, all First Classmen go to sea with 

the Fleet and assume junior officer responsibilities in their assigned ships. 

Most members of the First Class assist in the training of Third Classmen on 

board specially designated Naval Academy cruise ships. Others, carefully 

chosen, also take part in the training and indoctrination of the new Plebe 

class at Annapolis, in addition to their regular summer cruise assignment. 

26 


une Week 
On board the cruise ships the First Classman stands the watches and performs the duties of a commissioned naval officer and is exposed to the social 

courtesies, amenities, and customs of wardroom life. Work in navigation, 

watch-standing on the bridge, exercises in the combat information center and 

in the engineering spaces, and lectures and studies on other aspects of shipboard life complete the summer's training with the Fleet. 

Norm,1lly, midshipmen train at sea en route to and tn foreign waters, and 

thus thev visit a number of foreign ports. In recent years, ships have visited 

Japan, Hong Kong, and Hawaii in the Pacific; Naples, Athens, and Gibraltar 

in the :-.1editerrane,1n; and Portsmouth, Hamburg, and Oslo in Northern 

Europe. 

The important responsibility ,1ssigned the First Class in directing the Brigade of Midshipmen has been previously noted. Midshipmen officers, called 

stripers, lead the Brigade in parades, ceremonies, and at daily formations. 

They .irc responsible for the conduct, military smartness, and competitive 

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

each ,1cademic year increases the individual opportunity for this valuable 

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

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

In carrying out these demanding responsibilities, the First Class midshipman finds himself calling upon all the leadership skills he has developed 

during his first three years. Thus, following this final year of practical experience, graduation finds. him well prepared to assume his leadership responsibilities in the Navy or the Marine Corps as a newly commissioned officer. 

The Professional Training Program 

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

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

designed to provide graduates with a sound foundation in the fundamental 

specialized subjects and skills required of a professional naval or Marine 

Corps officer. 

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

graduation depends significantly on his professional training performance. 

30 
:i~.-~ ~~-, t ·. t_ ., ' 

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 presentdtion 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 121. 

l eave and Privileges 

The amount of personal freedom and the privileges granted a midshipman 

vary directly with his seniority, his responsibility, and his pe rformance. A 

First Classman not only will have more responsibility in the administration 

of the Brigade, but he will also have more privileges. Proficiency in academic 

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

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

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

end-of-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 new upper classes. 

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

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

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

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

permitted to escort young ladies on at least four occasions in addition to 

June Week. 

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

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

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

completed for the day. 

Weekend liberty is granted to upperclassmen. Midshipmen Third Class 

may take two weekends each semester; Second Class Midshipmen receive 

three each semester. First Classmen are not limited in the number of weekends they are authorized to take; however, a certain percentage are required 

to remain at the Naval Academy during the weekend period in order to carry 

31 
out the administrative functions of the Brigade. Additional weekends may 

be granted to midshipmen of the Second and Third Classes for noteworthy 

academic performance or other individual achievements. 

Physical Education 

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

Education Department makes a vital contribution to the physical development 

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

32 
The program's aims are to develop skill, strength, confidence, teamwork, 

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

fitness; to develop the capability to train and instruct others; and to develop 

the knowledge and capability to withstand physical hardship. Equally important, the program aims to be enjoyable, to provide a release from the 

academic routine, to develop a lasting appreciation for sports in general, and 

to develop individual skills in carryover sports for enjoyment after graduation. 

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

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

soccer, gymnastics, crew, golf, tennis, squash racquets, volleyball, and track. 

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

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

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

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

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

Physical Education Department and its program, refer to page 127. 

Medical and Dental Care 

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

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

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

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

nearby U. S. 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. 

33 

Religious Activities 

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

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

This is no accident. Over the decades of American history, fighting men 

have learned by experience that there is a dimension to combat leadership 

which can never be understood by those who have not experienced it-this 

is the spiritual factor, the intangible thing we call courage. 

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

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

questions vary for each individual who goes into combat-there are perhaps 

as many answers as there are individual fighting men. 

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

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

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

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

leadership. 

The Naval Academy recognizes that different men want to approach their 

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

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

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

services featuring nationally-famous guest preachers and lecturers. Midshipmen whose personal beliefs, based upon sincere conviction, conflict with 

attendance at religious or formal worship exercises to the extent that the 

purpose of such attendance cannot be realized, may be authorized to attend 

secular sessions which are designed to promote an understanding of the 

spiritual and moral dimensions of military leadership. 

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

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

by all young men seeking to enter Annapolis. 

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

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

understand the moral responsibility of commanding other men.

IV: The Naval Profession 

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

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

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

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

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

when tales of valor are told. Though ours is a vastly complicated and technolog1cal Navy, the human being is, in the end, all-important. It is an organization which puts a high premium on leaders with vision, dedication, and 

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

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

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

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

Navy or the finest Marine Corps in the world. 

First Duty 

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

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

of the Navy, and his personal qualifications. Every attempt is made to assign 

him to the duty and locality he requests 

Whatever his initial operational duty, he will usually find that his responsibilities are greater than those of his contemporaries in civilian life. Most 

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

thus, headed ultimately for command at sea. As a matter of policy, all graduates initially go to sea in a combatant-type surface ship-i.e., aircraft carrier, 

cruiser, destroyer, or amphibious warfare ship. A certain percentage of the 

graduates are allowed to select warfare specialties or programs, such as 

aviation, nuclear power (either submarine or surface), and special warfare. 

37 
Graduate programs leading to advance degrees are also available to a small 

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

short tour of sea duty. 

A maximum of 14 percent of Annapolis graduates may volunteer for appointment in the Marine Corps as second lieutenants and must complete 

basic training before joining regular Marine units or commencing flight 

training. 

A small number are commissioned on graduation in the Civil Engineer 

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

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

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

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

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

on board ship before returning to graduate study. Graduates commissioned 

as second lieutenants in the Marine Corps complete basic training before 

joining regular Marine units or beginning flight training. 

Officer Career Patterns 

Within the framework of the needs of the service, an officer determines his 

own career pattern to a significant degree through his requests for assignments afloat and ashore, his advanced studies, and, of course, by his performance. After his initial tour at sea, the young officer has a fairly well 

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

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

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

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

generally exercised during assignments ashore. These sub-specialties include 

such varied fields as naval intelligence, oceanography, communications, meteorology, nuclear engineering, aeronautical engineering, management, international relations, and personnel administration. Officers aspiring to command at sea will serve in a variety of ships or aircraft squadrons in different 

capacities, as well as in staff and planning billets afloat and ashore, in the 

United States and overseas. 

It is at once a satisfying and a demanding life. The naval or Marine Corps 

officer presents many faces to the world: professional sailor, Marine, aviator, 

38 

engineer, scientist, administrator, diplomat, or educator. His is not just a job, 

but a way of life-a career dedicated to the service of the United States and 

its people, carrying with it high professional prestige and opportunities for 

broad experience, a career which rewards the industrious, the loyal, and the 

imaginative. It is a career for those with a zeal for strenuous living, patriotism, and dedication to an ideal of real meaning, a meaning which can be 

translated into a lifetime of adventure and service in the Navy or Marine 

Corps of the United States. 

Officer Education and Training 

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

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

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

prepare himself for assignments of greater responsibility and professional 

attainment by acquiring practical experience ashore and afloat and through 

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

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

career planning and execution. 

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

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

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

officer for higher responsibilities. This move toward graduate education begins 

before graduation for midshipmen who are selected for scholarships in civilian 

universities or for Navy-sponsored graduate programs. 

Navy functional and basic technical courses provide the initial post-commissioning training for many officers. Mostly of short du.ration, they are in 

such fields as communications, gunnery, antisubmarine warfare, damage 

control, electronics, and amphibious warfare. 

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

many qualified Naval Academy graduates may expect orders to graduate 

study for one or more years. The variety of fields available include mathematics, physics, general science, nuclear and aeronautical engineering, oceanography, management, political science, international relations, naval intelligence, and others. For the best-qualified, the way is open to a doctorate. 

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

40 
School, Patuxent River, Maryland; and at various civilian institutions such as 

The Carnegie Institute of Technology, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 

M.1.T., Princeton, Stanford, and Tulane. 

Opportunities for graduate work continue throughout an officer's career. 

Senior war colleges in particular are noted for bringing officers up to date on 

problems of international import and for relating these problems to our 

global strategy. The officer who aspires to positions of high responsibility 

must, of necessity, continue to grow intellectually and thus he will be a student during all of his professional life. Appendix G is a brief summary of 

graduate study opportunities offered by the Navy and Marine Corps. 

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

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

an unprecedented number of career opportunities for a naval or Marine 

Corps officer. Fleet and field operational experience continues to be an important constant in the career pattern, but the need for specialists trained in 

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

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

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

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

41 

V: Admissions 

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

admission to the plebe (freshman) class. These young men 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 of men representing 

every race, creed, color, and background found in this nation. Certain general 

eligibility requirements do exist; to be a candidate, a young man must be at 

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

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

limited quotas of foreign midshipmen specifically authorized by Congress, he 

must be a citizen of the United States. 

Meeting these requirements, an interested young man must then proceed 

to obtain a nomination, qualify medically, and compete for selection. The 

Admissions Board examines each candidate's school records, College Board 

scores, recommendations from school officials, extracurricular activities, and 

other evidence of his character, leadership potential, academic aptitude and 

achievement, and physical fitness. Qualification for admission is based on 

consideration of all of the above factors. 

High School Program 

Candidates are expected to have pursued studies in high school that will prepare them for a rigorous college program. The quality of the work is important. The great majority of young men accepted for admission to Annapolis 

come from the top 20 percent of their high school classes, and chances for 

admission are very limited for those who stand below the top 40 percent. 

While the Academy does not have rigid requirements concerning the subjects 

which must be included in the school record, candidates are strongly urged to 

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

43 
Mathematics-4 years, including trigonometry, English- 4 years, Modern 

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

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

must enter the Academy as plebes. The Admissions Board requires that 

applicants furnish transcripts of any previous college work they may have 

undertaken. 

Tests 

Either the American College Testing Program (ACT) or selected College 

Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) tests are required of all candidates. The 

selected CEEB tests required are the Scholastic Aptitude Test and the Achievement Test in English Composition and Mathematics (Level I or Level II). 

These tests may be taken at any administration but no later than March of 

the calendar year of admission to Annapolis. 

Arrangements to take the ACT or College Board tests can be made through 

a high school guidance counselor or by writing directly to the College Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey 08540; or Box 

1025, Berkeley, California 94701; or the Registration Department, American 

College Testing Program, P. 0. Box 414, Iowa City, Iowa 52240. 

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

evaluating and selecting their candidates. These special competitive examinations are a tool to assist in the nomination process, but they do not determine 

a candidate's scholastic qualifications for admission to the Academy. The 

Naval Academy requirements for the ACT or CEEB tests must still be met. 

Obtaining a Nomination 

A young man must obtain a nomination to be considered for an appointment 

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

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

evaluate candidates during the summer months and some nominate 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 the 

young man should apply to all sources for which he is eligible, which always 

44 
include his Congressman, both Senators, and the \'ice President. The following is a listing of all nomination sources. 

U. 5. Senators, Representatives, the Mayor of the District of Columbia, and 

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

attending the Academy at anv one time Ten nominations may be made for 

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

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

Congressional District 

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

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

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

either on active duty (other than for training) or who arc retired with pay 

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

1331 of Title 10, USC retirement at age 60 for combined ach\'e and inactive service of at least 20 years). Application should be made to the Chief 

of Naval Personnel (Attn: Pers 666), Washington, D C 20370. 

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

President may have fi\'e midshipmen attending the Academy at any one time. 

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

the Vice President, Washington, D. C. 20501. 

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

American Samoa. Residents should apply to the appropriate official 

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

July of the year of admission Eighty-five appointments are authon1ed each 

year Application should be made to the Commanding Officer. 

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

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

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

A.pplication should be made to the Commanding Officer 

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

Science. 

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

compete for ten ,1ppointments. 

45 
Sons of Deceased or Disabled Veterans. Sons of armed forces members who 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sample letters for req11esting nominations appear in Appendix A. Foreign 

students sho11ld refer to Appendix D. 

Congressional Nominating Procedures 

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

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

alternate," and so on to "9th alternate," or he may simply nominate a slate of 

ten competitors to be evaluated by the Naval Academy for the vacancy. In 

either case, the vacancy is filled by the top man on the list who is accepted 

46 
for admission by the Naval Academy but this does not mean that the others 

are no longer considered. fn fact, all ten nominees may be accepted for admission as qualified alternates or qualified competitors. 

Admission of Qualilied Alternates 

and Competitors 

Each year the Naval Academy admits several hundred qualified alternates and 

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

a young man nominated by a Member of Congress, but not appointed to fill 

his vacancy, is still considered on a competitive basis for Annapolis, if he is 

qualified. No special application is necessary, as all qualified candidates will 

be considered automatically. 

Re-admission of Former Midshipmen 

fn addition to the need to obtain a new nomination, approval of the Admissions Board is required for the re-admission of former midshipmen. Requests 

should be addressed to the Dean of Admissions. 

Medical Examination 

Candidates must pass a very thorough medical examination. Healthy young 

men with normal vision usually experience little difficulty in passing this 

examination. The visual requirement is 20/ 20 each eye, uncorrected. A 

limited number of exceptional candidates with vision no worse than 20/ 100 

in each eye, correctable to 20/ 20, will be considered for a waiver of visual 

acuity by the Naval Academy. 

Although all candidates will be scheduled for this examination at the 

nearest Naval Examining Center shortly after notification of nomination, a 

complete preliminary examination by private physician and dentist to spot 

obvious disqualifying defects is recommended. Medical requirements are set 

forth in Appendix B to serve as a guide to private physicians and dentists. 

Naval Academy candidates will be scheduled at the nearest Naval Examining 

Center and are encouraged to make every effort to meet this appointment. 

47 
I ) 

If, however, a candidate is unable to meet this appointment or undue travel 

is required, candidates are permitted to make their own arrangements with 

any of the examining centers listed in Appendix C. 

Notification of Admission 

Candidates are notified of their acceptance or rejection for admission on a 

continuing basis from 15 October to 15 May. The new class is admitted late 

in June. 

Pay and Expenses 

The pay of the midshipman is $2,505.60 a year, commencing on the date of 

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

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

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

complete seabag of required officer uniforms. 

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

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

be reduced to $100, in which case money allowances for the individual will 

be reduced until the individual's account reaches prescribed levels. The 

amount deposited is not refunded, but is expended at entrance for clothing, 

uniforms, etc., which become the property of the midshipman. 

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

$1,600. The deposit made at the time of entrance is supplemented. by an entrance credit of $600 upon first admission to the Naval Academy. The $600 

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

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

the indebtedness is accomplished by monthly deductions of 530 from the 

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

Academy and continuing until the indebtedness is liquidated. 

48 

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 m1dsh1pman at the U. 5. Naval Academy. Under Section 651 of Title 10, U. 5. Code, any person who 1s enlisted, inducted, 

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

acquires automatically a six-year military obligation. Section lV.B 3 f of 

Department of Defense Directive 1200.3 of 23 May 1958 includes appointees 

to the service academies among those who are subject to the six-year obligation. Of this six-year obligation, five years are to be served as a commissioned 

officer on active duty. Enlisted members of the Armed Forces who accept 

appointments as midshipmen at the Naval Academy will not be discharged 

from their enlistment contracts or from their period of obligated service while 

they are in the status of midshipmen, except for physical disability or because 

of the acceptance of a commission. (Act of 25 June 1956, 1-2, re-enacted 10 

U 5. Code 516.) 

Midshipmen m 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 

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

obligated service. 

Agreement Signed by Entering Midshipmen 

Upon admission, each midshipman who is a citizen of the United States will 

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

if a minor, that he will fulfill these obligations· 

He will complete the Academy course of instruction (unless he is disenrolled from the Academy by competent authority). 

He will accept an appointment and serve as a commissioned officer in the 

U. 5. Navy or U. 5. Marine Corps for at least five years immediately after 

graduation. 

If authom:ed to resign from the Regular Na, y before the sixth anniversary 

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

until the sixth anniversary 

50 
Resignations and Separations 

Fourth and Third Classmen (freshmen and sophomores): A resignation tendered by a Fourth or Third Classman (or a resignation tendered by a Second 

Classman prior to the beginning of the Second Class academic year) will be 

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

Second and First Classmen: After the commencement of his Second Class 

academic year, a Second or First Classman who is separated prior to completing the course of instruction, except for physical disability, unfitness or 

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

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

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

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

be waived. 

Refusal to Accept Commission: Any First Classman who completes the 

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

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

status and ordered to active duty for four years. 

A midshipman who is separated after having entered the Naval Academy 

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

former status under the appropriate statutory provisions. Completion or 

partial completion of a prior service obligation by a separated midshipman 

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

to a Reserve component and calJ to active duty in accordance with Title 10, 

U. 5. Code 6959b. 

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

high school graduates to enhance their qualifications for admission to the 

Naval Academy. The Foundation is chartered for educational purposes under 

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

Navy or with the Naval Academy. 

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

scholarships annually to young men seeking admission to the Naval Academy 

51 
to prepare for a career in the Navy or Marine Corps. Cash grants for these 

scholarships are made to participating Junior colleges and preparatory schools 

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

are expected to contribute financially within their capabilities. The Foundation offers no assistance other than counseling to individual boys in obtaining 

nominations. 

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

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

of later applications can be considered. 

Naval Academy Preparatory School 

The Naval Academy Preparatory School, located at Bainbridge, Maryland, 

has prepared servicemen for entry into the Naval Academy for over ha lf a 

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

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

Applicants should apply through their commanding officers in accordance 

with current service directives. Students are selected competitively based on 

a review of their records, including academic transcripts, the recommendations 

of their commanding officers, and their scores on the Nava l Academy Preparatory Entrance Examination. 

The Preparatory School offers college preparatory work in mathematics, 

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

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

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

sports programs complete the school's schedule. 

Candidate Guidance 

The Recruitment and Candidate Guidance Office at the Naval Academy provides counsel to young men who are interested m a career of naval service 

through Annapolis. This office also co-ordinates the activities of approximately 750 selected Naval Reserve Officers, not on active duty, who have 

been designated Naval Academy Information Officers. These officers are 

qualified to counsel you on all aspects of admission and are in close contact 

52 
throughout the year with officials at Annapolis. Appendix F lists the 

State/ Area Co-ordinators of this program. IF, after reading this catalog, you 

have a question about the Academy or admission procedures, write to the 

Naval Academy Information Officer Co-ordinator nearest you or to: 

Superintendent 

U. S. Naval Academy 

(Attn: Candidate Guidance) 

Annapolis, Maryland 21402 

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

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

with you any weekday and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

56 

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. Who cnn become a midshipman? 

A. Admission is open to young men of good moral character, without regard to race, creed or national origin. 

Candidates must be male citizens of the United States, 

never marned, who are at least 17 years of age but not 

past their 22nd birthday on 1 July of the year of admission. 

Q. What must I do lo become a midshipman' 

A. Obtain a nomination, qualify scholastically (acceptable College Board scores-either American College Testmg Program (ACT) tests or SAT and Achievement tests m 

mathematics and English; acceptable secondary school 

record, including college-preparatory work; top 40% of 

class), and meet prescribed medical and physical standards. Be selected for an appointment. 

Q. Wliere may I obtain detailed information on admission req111reme11ts? 

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

guidance counselors, from your local Navy recruiter or by 

writing to the Candidate Guidance Officer, U 5. Naval 

Academy, Annapolis, Maryland 21402. 

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

non1ination;, 

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

your Congressional Representative and to both of your 

Senators by mail your application will be considered carefully. Each member of Congress is authorized to have five 
57 

of his appointees attending the Academy at any one time. 

Recent legislation has authorized each Congressman to 

nominate up to ten candidates for each vacancy. The essential thing to remember is that, by law, you must have a 

nomination to be considered for appointment to the Naval 

Academy. 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 do not receive the 

Congressman's appointment, 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 lo the Naval Academy by the Secretary of 

the Navy to bring the entering class up to authorized 

strength. 

Q. I am a member of t/ie Naval Reserve. How can I gel 

rnto 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 11ominatio11s, can I request nomination from more t/ian 

one source? 

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

obtain, the better chance you will have to enter the Academy. 

Q. ls it difficult to enter the Academy 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 president. Also, I had to 

work after school. Will these activities help me? 
58 

A. Yes. Evidence of leadership ability and participation 

in extracurricular activities, including athletics and parttime jobs, carries considerable weight in the candidate 

evaluation process. 

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

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

take any electives, such as nuclear science? 

A. About 20% of the Academy's curriculum is devoted 

to professional military studies; but at the Academy you will 

complete 140 rather than the 120 units typical of most 

civilian colleges. You will have a choice of 24 academic 

majors, from Literature to Analytical Management to 

Aerospace Engineering. You may specialize in nuclear science if you qualify and wish to do so. Advanced research 

projects are offered in many areas. 

Q. What part of the medical examination gives the most 

difficulty to candidates? 

A. The eye examination. Visual acuity of 20/20 is required. However, a limited number of outstanding candidates may be granted waivers for visual acuity which is no 

worse than 20/100, correctable to 20/20. 

Q. l don't like sports. Do l have to fry out for anything? 

A. Yes. If you really dislike sports, the Academy's varsity and intramural athletic programs may not appeal to 

you, but a midshipman is required to participate in athletics, either varsity or intramural, for the development of 

his character, physical fitness, and competitive spirit. 

Q. How much does it cost to be a midshipman at the 

Academy? 

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

are provided by the government. In addition, midshipmen 

receive a 5208.80 monthly salary for uniforms, books, and 

personal needs. A $300.00 deposit is required on entry. 
59 

Q. How often mny I visit liome? 

A. During Christmas and spring leaves. In addition, 

month-long summer leaves are granted to the three upper 

classes. You must pay for your own travel. 

Q. How mnny f/11nk out? 

A. Losses run approximately 33% over the entire 4-year 

program for an average class. About one-third of these are 

academic failures. 

Q. Do I get to fly? 

A. All midshipmen receive flight instruction in naval aircraft during their third summer. Selected volunteers receive Right training after graduation leading to designation 

as Naval or Marine Aviators. 

Q. Do I get to choose nny of my courses? 

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

your courses. 

Q. How m11ch social life WOHid I hnve at the Academy? 

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

initial (plebe) year, there is a wide range of social activities available. There are weekend dances and oth~r extracurricular activities at the Academy, and there are opportunities for afternoon liberties in town and for a number 

of weekends away from the Academy. 

Q. I nm a high school f reshmnn. When should I stnrt 

preparing myself for the Academy? 

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

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

Q. I am in college now. Is it too lnte to enter the Academy? 

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

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

work will permit study of advanced courses at the Acad-
60 

emy. Normally, about 10% of the members of each entering class have been in a civilian college prior to entering 

the Naval Academy. 

Q. ff l fniled to receive nn nppointment for one class, am 

l eligihle to apply again? 

A. Yes. But a candidate who failed to receive an appointment in a previous year must obtain a new nomination in 

order to again become a candidate. 

Q. When sho11lrl I apply? 

A. Apply to your Congressman or Senators for a nomination, whenever possible, in the spring of your junior 

year in high school. If you wait until the spring of your 

senior year, you will not have a chance to receive an appointment to the class that enters in June of the year you 

graduate. 

Q. Wlint is my militnry obligation 011 graduation? 

A. The total military service obligation of an Academy 

graduate is six years. Current directives require five of 

these to be on active duty as a commissioned officer in the 

Navy or Marine Corps. 

Q. Cnn I become n Navy doctor or dentist? 

A. The Academy is not for students who desire to enter 

the professions of dentistry, medicine, law, or theology. 

Q. My fnther wns in the nrmed forces. Will this help me 

to get n 1zomi11ntion? 

A. Sons of career members of the regular and reserve 

forces who are on active duty or who are retired may be 

considered for a nomination under the Presidential category. 

Q. Whnt types of mnjors are offered nt the Naval Academy? 

A. The twenty-four majors offered by the Academy include Management, Aerospace Engineering, History, Ocean 
61 

Engineering, Literature, European Studies, Physics, and 

many others. 

Q. V\1/,ere do 111idsl,ipme11 live? 

A. They are housed in one building, Bancroft Hall, 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 Mess Hall 

is also located in Bancroft Hall. Here all 4,200 midshipmen 

are able to sit down and eat at one time. The food is served 

family style. Bancroft Hall is named after George Bancroft 

who was Secretary of the Navy when the Naval Academy 

was founded. The Hall contains a store, medical and dental facilities, and a soda fountain, bowling alleys, and 

numerous other recreational facilities. 

Q. I have nominations to both the Naval Academy and 

the Air Force Academy. ls it necessary that I undergo two 

medical examinations? 

A. No. A medical examination conducted by any of the 

services for a service Academy is acceptable. However, 

you must ensure that the examining center forwards the 

examination results to both Academies. 

VI: The Curriculum Challenge 

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

skills he will need to perform his future military duties effectively: The development of professional officers has been central to the objectives of the 

Naval Academy since its founding over 125 years ago. It is today. But today's 

Naval Academy offers considerably more. As a professionally-oriented academic institution, it offers in-depth studies in 24 major programs. The 

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

each midshipman in terms of his own academic aptitudes and interests. 

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

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

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

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

basic professional subjects-who collectively possess the wide range of 

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

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

minimum course requirements in social sciences and humanities, mathematics, 

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

choosing, from a variety of fields. 

Choosing a Major 

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

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

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

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

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

language. On the other hand, programs in social sciences, general manage63 
ment, international studies, and literature require a substantial amount of 

foreign language study, but only three semesters of mathematics. 

Some plebes are sure of their study preferences and their academic aptitudes when they first arrive at the Academy. For these young men, mapping 

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

that will satisfy general distribution requirements and filling out their major 

sequence. 

However, a midshipman may not be ready to make a firm major selection 

at the beginning of his plebe year. He may have a general idea of his area of 

interest, without being sure of which major he should take. He may not yet 

know whether his talents lie in a technical or non-technical field. And, during 

his plebe year, he may very well discover that his real interests and abilities 

do not fit the requirements of the major fields he first considered. 

For these reasons, final selection of a major may be delayed until thirdclass year, or, in some cases, until a later date. In fact, a midshipman may 

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

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

major. 

Plebe Year: Tndividual Study Programs 

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

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

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

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

Mathematics. A year of rnlrnl11s provides part of the foundation for f11rther 

st11dy i11 engineering, the sciences, economics, and professional co11rses in 

naval electricity nnd electronics. 

Composition and Literature. This is a general requirement designed to 

develop the skills in thinking, rending, and writing which are primary tools 

for f11rtlw,· ed11cntion and for p,-ofessionnl deuelopment. 

Fundamentals of Naval Science (first semester) and Introduction to Naval Engineering and Weapons Systems (second semester). These co11rses eq111p tl1e 

midshipman with knowledge and skills for practical shipboard use d11ring his 

yo1111gster crnise, the most important event of third-class summer. They also 

64 
serve as preparation for the professio11al co11rses and training which come 

d11ring tlze next three years. 

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

the following fields: 

Modern Languages. He should co11sider taking a language if lze is interested 

in a non-technical major, since lang11age study is req11ired with s11ch majors. 

Science Electi ve. All midshipmen must event11ally complete four courses in 

science, 111c/11ding two in physics. If a midshipman wishes to p11rs11e a tech11ical major, either in tlze plzysical scie11ces or in operations analysis or e11-

gi11eeri11g, for example, it is best for him to begi11 science courses d11ring his 

first semester. 

Humanities/Social Sciences Electives. During their four years at the Academy all midshipmen 11111st take a minimum of five elective co11rses in this 

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

plebe year. 

Computer Science. Each midshipman m11st take one course in computer 

science, and most will do so in plebe year. Comp11ters are becoming increasingly important in virtually every aspect of the modern Navy, and midshipmen will be expected to 11se them as tools in a 1111mber of their Naval Academy 

co11rses. 

Counseling and Guidance 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

midshipmen may even complete second majors. 

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

midshipman has ample opportunities for consultation with faculty members. 

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

65 
of group and individual counseling on all aspects of the curriculum. He takes 

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

should begin his studies. His adviser, a faculty member from the department 

in which he has expressed a particular interest, will help him define his study 

objectives and will offer guidance towards a logical selection of courses. 

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

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

concerns himself with the midshipman's over-all academic progress and any 

academic problems he may have from plebe year through graduation. 

Academic 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.S. and International 

Studies, and English and History-each headed by a Navy captain. The 

divisions are further subdivided into departments, nineteen in all, which 

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

continuing review and development of the curriculum. The departments are 

chaired either by a civilian or military member of the faculty. 

Academic Programs 

The Naval Academy offers 24 major programs, each leading to the Bachelor 

of Science degree. Completion of one of these majors is a requirement for 

graduation. 

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 special ties or su bspecia I ties in engineering programs. 

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

engineering degree. Additionally, four of the engineering programs have been 

accredited by the Engineers' Council for Professional Development. 

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

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

combine political and historical investigation of an important geographic area 

66 

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

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

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

provide firsthand links between the midshipman and his special area of 

interest. 

Naval Academy Library 

The Naval Academy Library provides midshipmen and faculty members with 

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

recreational reading programs. 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 through 

interlibrary loans. 

A new library building, currently under construction, will be completed in 

the fall of 1972. The new building will house approximately 750,000 volumes 

and accommodate between 1,600 and 1,700 readers, using a combination of 

study tables, study carrels, and lounge furniture. 

The new library will contain seminar and group study rooms; faculty 

studies, typing and calculating rooms; over 200 listening stations; and a computer terminal room. The Midshipman-Faculty Bookstore and the U. S. 

Naval Academy Archives wUI also be housed in the new building. Data 

processing and closed circuit television techniques will be applied to library 

routines, thus providing modem and efficient service to midshipmen and 

faculty members. 

Special Programs 

Advanced Placement. Prior to entering the Naval Academy, many midshipmen take courses equivalent to those offered or required here. Credit may 

be granted for this work through validation, a procedure based on examinations given by the appropriate Academy departments; consideration of transcripts; and results of College Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement Tests, if available. Validators may proceed immediately to more 

advanced work in the subject concerned. About two-thirds of the members 

of each plebe class validate at least one course. 

68 
Trident Scholars. Under the Trident Scholar Program, initiated in 1963, a 

limited number of exceptionally capable midshipmen carry out independent 

research and study during their senior year. Each Scholar has a reduced 

formal course load, since his research and thesis constitute the main part of 

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

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

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

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

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

within nine to twelve months in accelerated programs arranged at certain 

civilian universities, or at the Naval Postgraduate School at Monterey, California. Other immediate graduate study opportunities for Naval Academy 

graduates include Churchill, Guggenheim, National Science Foundation, and 

Rhodes Scholarships. 

Graduation and Degree Requirements 

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

(1) Complete the required professional courses, 

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

(3) Satisfy the study distribution requirements, 

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

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

average. 

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

military-professional performance standards in professional studies, aptitude 

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

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

69 
Professional Course Requirements 

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

In addition to providing the professional background required of an officer 

during his first few years in the Fleet or the Marine Corps, these courses contribute to more effective training of a midshipman during his summer training 

with the Fleet. 

The following professional courses must be completed by all midshipmen· 

NS101, NN201, NN202, NS300, NS302, NL302, NL401, EyV102, and 

EW301. Those midshipmen not majoring in one of the engineering disciplines 

must complete the following engineering and weapons courses. EN200, 

EN301, EE311, EE312, and ES400. 

Distribution Requirements 

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

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

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

Humanities-Social Sciences 

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

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

than nine semester hours in any one field): American Political and Military 

Systems, International Security Affairs, Economics, History, and Literature. A midshipman is free to take further elective work in any of these fields 

after meeting the basic distribution requirements. 

Mathematics 

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

Science 

Physics I and ll* / Six to eight additional science hours (two courses) elected 

in the Mathematics and Science Division. 

•Composition and Lituature I and 11. Calculus I .ind II, and Physics I and 11 .ue offered at differfmt 

lrvl'I~ o( concentration. Each midshipman ,s encouraged to tJk.e a le\lel commensurate with his 

upabilitJes ,md his major 

70 
Modern Languages 

Majors in American Political and Military Systems, International Security 

Affairs, Economics, History, Literature, and General Management require six 

semesters (18 semester hours) of one of seven languages offered: Chinese, 

French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Majors in European Studies, Far Eastern Studies, Latin American Studies, and Soviet Studies 

have an over-all language requirement of 24 semester hours. 

Computer Science 

51100 Computer Science. This course provides a basic education in the use 

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

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

Class Year. 

Residence 

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

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

extra courses have the opportunity to do additional advanced work, pursue 

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

study other subjects for self-improvement or general interest. 

Schedule of Instruction 

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

academic year consists of two semesters, each of approximately 16 weeks of 

instruction and one week of examinations. The normal academic routine provides for 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 indiviclual attention to students on the part of the instructor. 

Grading 

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

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

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

71 
' 
Grades are averaged, using a weighted semester hour system called a 

Quality Point Rating (QPR). The QPR is computed by multiplying the QPE 

corresponding to the letter grade received in each course by the semester 

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

total number of semester hours represented by all the courses taken. A semester QPR (SQPR) is computed only for courses taken during a given 

semester; a Cumulative QPR (CQPR) is maintained for each midshipman, 

and includes all academic marks assigned to date. 

An academic probation system provides warning for midshipmen who are 

not making satisfactory progress toward graduation. If a midshipman's 

cumulative QPR is below 2.0 at the completion of a semester, he is placed 

on academic probation for the following semester. A midshipman is also 

placed on probation for the semester following any two consecutive semesters 

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

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

midshipmen whose mid-semester academic records are unsatisfactory. 

It should be noted that grades received in aptitude, conduct, and physical 

education, and for certain professional training conducted during the summer, 

are not included in the computation of QPR. Satisfactory performance is 

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

determining class standing. 

A midshipman may be recommended for discharge by the Academic Board 

for failure of one or more required courses, failure to improve sufficiently 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Marine Engineering Major 

The major in \larine Engineering provide• midshipmen with a broad engineering background valuable m fields where the principles of energy conversion apply. The ma1or is 

Interdisciplinary in that it draws from many area<, such as mathematics, physics, and the 

engineering sciences. Emphasis is placed on marine propulsion systems design and analysis 

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

reactor physics provide an opportunity for individual research pro1ects and the development of experimental techniques. Computus and advanced data acquisition systems are 

used in the design areas. A Bachelor of Scirnce m :\.-f~rine Engineering is awarded.

and Systems Engineering majors. 

Naval Architecture Major 

Naval architecture encompa!",ses the comprehensive analysis and design of vehicles and 

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

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

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

theoreticalJ>• and experimcntJlly, as well as basic design techniques. Four required courses 

in naval architectural analysis and hvo elective courses culminate in a final design course 

which employs this background in the creation of a new marine vehicle or system. Creativity and individuality are encouraged through the use of modern, well equipped laboratories featuring state-of-the-art data acquisition systems. The use of the computer, both 

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

of Science in Naval Architecture is a\'\·,uded.

Engineering Course Descriptio ns 

For engineering courses, see course descriptions following Electrical, tv1echanical, Ocean, 

and Systems Engineering majors. 

Ocean Engineering Major 

Ocean engineering is an interdisciplinary field involving the application of engineering 

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

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

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

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

by an introduction to areas of ocean technology, including ocean structures, undersea 

vehicles, underwater sound, wave mechanics1 and life-support systems. 

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

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

on-line data acquisition and analysis equipment. Midshipmen find it necessary to use the 

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

of Science in Ocean Engineering is awarded.

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

Naval Academy. The undergraduate laboratory facilities of Michelson Hall are un~celled 

The serious student of chem15try has ample opportunity to experiment and observe as he 

91 
pursues the scientific method. Laboratory equipment includes single-pan balances, gas 

chromatographs, mass spectrometer, X•ray diffraction, and nuclear magnetic resontrnce 

spectrometers. 

Any naval officers 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.

Oceanography Major 

Oceanography is an inter-disciplinary science ma1or involving the study of chemistry, 

physics, biology, and geology as they relate to our ocean environment and the effects of 

that environment on naval operations. 

The Oceanography :-.lajor is a laboratory-oriented program with the most modern 

facilities including our own oceanographic vessel, a weather station and radiosonde system 

for study of the atmosphere, plus a wave tank, tide gauges, marine culture systems, and 

fully equipped labora tories.

The curriculum in Applied Science has two major objectives. On one hand, by means of 

required sequences in mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering, it provides a 

firm background for subsequent scientific work. On the other, seven elective courses 

enable a midshipman lo concentrate in such areas as applied mathematics, physical chem94 
istry, statistical physics, and nuclear physics. The student is given considerable latitude 

in planning his program. A proper choice of electives, for example, provides excellent 

preparation for the nuclear power program. Thus, while the major may serve as a terminal 

scientific course, it is well adapted to the needs of midshipmen planning graduate studies.

Physics Major 

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

in such a way as to emphasize their general usefulness and (2) lays a strong foundation 

for further work in a broad range of technical fields. Some of the topics treated in the 

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

concepts, theory of relativity, basic theory of quantum mechanics, and statistical me~ 

chanics. All are studied with the object of providing an open-minded and creative approach 

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

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

subsequent specialization in any technical area.

VIII: Professional Training Courses 

The Commandant of Midshipmen directs the Academy's professional training 

program, which is a vital part of each midshipman's development during his 

four years at the Academy. It includes instruction, drills, and practical training conducted during the academic year, as well as summer training conducted 

away from the Academy with Fleet operational and training units. 

Midshipmen are graded on their interest and performance in the professional program just as they are on their performance in the academic program. A . midshipman's over-all standing within his class at graduation 

depends very significantly on his grades in professional training. 

An outline of the professional training program follows: 

Fourth Class Summer 

Introduction to Seamanship. Practical instruction in elementary seamanship, sailing in 

knockabouts and yawls, rules of the nautical road, and visual signalling. 

Physical Education Orientation and Indoctrination. Preliminary examinations in swimming, posture, and athletic ability. Physical Education drills in fundamentals of swimming, 

boxing, wrestling, posture, and personal conditioning. lndoctrination drills in lacrosse, 

fencing, soccer,_ rugby, gymnastics, crew, golf, tennis, squash racquets, and track. 

Small Arms. Practical instruction in nomenclature, field stripping and assembly of small 

arms. Firing of service rifle and pistol. Midshipmen who qualify are awarded the Navy 

Expert Rifleman and/ or Pistol Medal. 

Orientation and Indoctrination. A course designed lo orient the new midshipman to the 

Naval Academy and to the naval service, and lo indoctrinate him in the way of life at 

the Naval Academy, including his duties as a midshipman, as well as the Academy's 

mission, ideals, standards, traditions, and customs.

to the leadership opportunities and problems of a junior officer. In addition lo ship's 

company officers, his instructors include officers and First Class midshipmen from the 

Naval Academy. He actively participates in a wide range of shipboard tasks and evolutions under normal and emergency conditions, both al sea and in port. He stands deck 

and engineering watches and becomes familiar with shipboard equipment. He is required 

to complete satisfactorily a cruise training journal and take a comprehensive examination 

al the completion of his training period.

124 
a considerable amount of practical work in navigation, laking sights and determining the 

ship's position. Among references used during his training are the Watch Officer's Guide, 

the Division Officer's Guide, and the S/11p's Orgmriznlion and Regulations Manual. He is 

required lo complete a cruise training journal, summarizing his watches and his work in 

engineering, seamanship, navigation, weapons, operations, and in basic tactics. His cruise 

journal is graded, and he takes a comprehensive examination on his at-sea training upon 

return to the Naval Academy. He receives both an academic grade and an aptitude grade 

for his summer's training.

hours per week of naval orientation lectures, covering areas of importance to the junior 

officer. 

125 

IX: Varsity and Intramural A thle tics 

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." 

In the competitive arena that is intercollegiate athletics, the exploits of 

Navy athletes are well-chronicled. Midshipmen have carved an outstanding 

reputation in 21 sports from football to fencing, sailing to squash, and golf 

to gymnastics. 

Two Navy football players-halfback Joe Bellino and quarterback Roger 

Staubach-won the Heisman Trophy, the college gridiron's most coveted 

individual prize, within a period of four years. 

Navy heavyweight crews captured the Olympic gold medal for eight-oared 

shells at Antwerp, Belgium m 1920, and in Helsinki, Finland, in 1952. 

From 1960-67, the Navy lacrosse team reeled off eight consecutive national 

championships, a feat unparalleled in the history of that sport. They were 

again champions in 1970. 

Over a recent six-year, 48-game span, the Navy soccer team did not drop 

a regular season contest. 

And, a former Navy oarsman-Alan B. Shepard was America's first man 

in space. 

Through the intercollegiate program, one of the largest in the nation, and 

an intramural schedule that is equally ambitious, the Naval Academy fulfills 

127 




its responsibility for the physical development of midshipmen. Academy 

athletics are big, nationally known and respected, and put a high premium 

on excellence. 

Football at the Naval Academy dates from 1879, just 10 years after Rutgers 

and Princeton introduced the sport at New Brunswick. The midshipmen have 

been to four Bowl games, and nothing better symbolizes the Naval Academy 

athletic program than the Army-Navy football game, a sports event in the 

same galaxy as the World Series, the Kentucky Derby, and the Rose Bowl. 

There is enough of a variety in Navy's intercollegiate lineup to satisfy 

virtually everyone's athletic tastes. In the fall, there is football, cross country, 

soccer, 150-pound football, and sailing. Winter is the most active time of year 

with nine different sports in season-basketball, fencing, gymnastics, pistol, 

riAe, squash, swimming, track, and wrestling. The spring menu includes baseball, heavyweight crew, lightweight crew, golf, lacrosse, sailing, tennis, and 

track. 

Army traditionally is Navy's top opponent and the service rivals clash in a 

total of 18 engagements during the athletic year. Annapolis teams also face 

the perennial collegiate strongboys in every sport-Notre Dame in football, 

Columbia and New York University in fencing, Penn State in gymnastics, 

Harvard and Pennsylvania in crew, and Yale in swimming. 

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

the Brigade represented by the intramural sports program. Every midshipman, with the exception of varsity athletes, must take part. Here all can 

participate, each at a level equal to his athletic ability. Intramural sports 

include: 

Basketball Gymnastics Swimming 

Boxing Handball Tennis 

Crew Lacrosse Touch Football 

Cross Country Rugby Track 

Fencing Soccer Volleyball 

Field Ball Softball Water Polo 

Football Squash Weightlifting 

Wrestling 

Excellent physical facilities support the program. Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, which seats 28,000 fans between the goal lines, was dedi132 
cated in 1959. The Navy Field House is surfaced throughout with Tartan and 

includes a 220-yard indoor track. There are more than 100 acres of lighted 

playing fields, a superb indoor swimming pool, a 5,000-seat baseball park, a 

challenging 6,217-yard championship golf course, and an impressive sprawl 

of tennis, squash, handball, and badminton courts. 

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. 

133 

E,tracurricular Activities 

Life at the Academy offers m1dsh1pmen a \\,de-ranging choice ol over 65 

different extracurmul.ir activities which they organize ,rnd maint,11n themselves everything from soci,11 clubs to music groups to profession.illy oriented programs. 

Like musid There is a Glee Club, the Ant phonal Choir, the Protestant 

and Catholic Ch,1pel Choirs, the Drum and Bugle Corps, C.oncert B,rnd, five 

separate combos which providt a c v variet\ ol mus,c lor informal dances 

and other events, and the :-:A 10 the ever-popular dance band of the 

Brigade of Midshipmen. 

lnten•stcd in writing? :-.tembers of the Brigade publish the Lucky 811g, the 

vearbook for each class; the Trufont magazine, a literary .ind professional 

publication; the Log, ,, less serious and more typical t,1mpus humor maga1ine; the Trident Cnlc11d11r booklet, embellbhed bv photographs .ind cartoons; ,ind Reef Po1111,, a pocket size guide to A,ademy ,md Navy organization, lore, and customs for the plebes. 

The theater? Dramatic activities include the ~1,hquer.iders and the ~tusical 

Club and their supporllng groups the Stage, Property .ind :-.lake-up, and 

Juice (electrical) G,rngs. Others may find intere• t in such organu,,tions as 

the Photographic Club, Amateur R,1d10 Club, Scuba Club, Art .:ind Printing 

Club, Brigade Activities Committee, Public Relo1tions Committee, Gun Club, 

or Radio Station WR:--:\·, the' Voice of the Brigo1de." 

A wide variety of academically and profess,onallv oriented o1ctJv1t1es is 

offered for midshipmen whose interest~ lie in this direction the local chapter 

of the American Institute of ,\eronautJcs and Astronautics for the future 

aviator, astronaut, or paper airplane designer, Sigma Pi Sigma, the Physics 

Honor Society; the Annapolis Management Soc1etv the USNA branch of the 

Marine Technology Societv, or more simply put, the Oceanography Club. 

Sailing at the Academy has a serious profcs ional purpose. The program 

1s extensive ,:ind \'.Hied There 1s sailing for every taste from basic ins true t1on 

to ocean racing, and from leisurely afternoon cruising to the keen competition 

of high-performance racing dinghies. 

135 


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 m bringing a ship safely home to port today as they 

ever were. Thus, by developing better seamen, the Academy's sailing program 

contributes to the development of better naval officers. 

Sailing is easily the most popular extracurricular activity at the Academy, 

with almost 1,000 midshipmen engaging in competitive or recreational sailing. 

And, judging by the activity along the seawall on weekends, sailing is equally 

popular with drags (dates). 

The Academy has one of the finest sailing fleets in the world, as well as 

some of the be5t known ocean racers. The fleet ranges from the 73-foot 

ketch, ]11bilee Ill, through the SO-foot yawl Gypsy, to the 12-foot lnterclub 

dinghies. Recently, three new standouts have been added to the ocean racing 

fleet: ]11bilee Ill, the renowned yawl, ,\lnraden; and the 53-foot sloop, Rage. 

Finns and Flying Dutchmen provide an opportunity for Olympic-type competition. 

Basic training in sail is conducted during plebe summer in the Academy's 

fleet of thirty 28-foot knockabouts and twelve 44-foot Luders yawls. After 

plebe summer all sailing is voluntary. 

Twenty-six Skipjacks and five 30-foot Shields sloops are available to members of the varsity sailing team, which races in intercollegiate competition 

th.roughout the United States. Other races durmg t.he academic year include 

open competition in the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association on board 

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

The Academy sponsors numerous intercollegiate and Chesapeake Bay 

regattas. Both the McMillan Cup and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Regattas are hosted by the Academy During the summer, the larger yachts are 

sailed in the open sea in such races as the Transatlantic, the Bermuda, and 

the Annapolis-Newport ocean races. Other races include the Gibson Island 

Yacht Squadron Race to Cape May, the Chesapeake Lightship Race, the Cape 

May to Newport Race, the Marblehead-Halifax Race, and the Buenos Aires 

to Rio de Janeiro Race. Midshipmen skipper the yachts in Bay races and 

serve as crew members in ocean races, 

Intercollegiate sailing is conducted by the Naval Academy Athletic Association. Other sailing beyond the primary stage is administered by the Naval 

Academy Sailing Squadron, an organization of officers, civilian faculty members, and other devotees of sailing. Besides being highly popular, Squadron138 
arranged weekend sailing trips give midshipmen a chance to carry the spirit 

of the Navy to nearby ports. 

The Naval Academy YP Squadron is organized for midshipmen who desire 

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

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

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

those of Fleet destroy.er squadrons on duty around the world. The midshipmen officers are selected for their ability to fulfill command positions. The 

midshipman selected as Squadron Commodore is responsible for the over-all 

performance and excellence of the Squadron, including the co-ordination of 

training, proficiency competition, inspections, and cruises. Midshipmen assisting him include a Chief Staff Officer, two Division Commanders, and an Administration Officer. Completing the staff is an Engineering Officer who 

supervises training in engineering and who ensures that engineering equipment is operated and maintained properly. Each Yard Patrol craft is commanded by a First or Second Classman who is assisted by a 20-man crew 

composed of midshipmen from all classes. 

Training is serious business during the week. Crews get underway on 

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

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

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

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

communications, and engineering is declared the winner. 

For those with a particular interest in the humanities, there are the Foreign 

Relations Club, Language Clubs, and the Debaters. An annual spring highught is the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference, which draws together 

college students from across the country to discuss problems of a specific 

geographic area of the world. 

Each of these activities offers a midshipman the widest choice for professional enrichment, leisure-time enjoyment, and just plain fun. 

139 

XI: Administration, Staff, and Faculty 

The administration of the Naval Academy is in many respects analogous to 

that of any college. A Board of Visitors performs the broad supervisory functions of a board of trustees. The Superintendent, a 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. 5. House of Representatives, or his designee; four other members of the House of Representatives, 

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

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

States. 

141 
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.

XII: Prizes and Awards, Museum, 

Alumni Association, and the a val Institute 

Prizes and Awards 

Each June \',eek more than 80 pri1es and awards, provided by individuals 

and a wade v.uiety of org.rniz,Hions, are presented to deserving midshipmen 

in recognition of their noteworthy accomplishments in such areas as acadcm1cs, leadership, professional studies, debate, public speaking, sailing, 

marksmanship, and athletics. 

The Museum 

The :-.aval Alademy \1useum serves as an inspiration to the men of the 

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

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

individual items also provides an important reference source for the teaching 

of naval history. 

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

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

chapel, Bancroft Hall, the library, and in other buildings throughout the 

Academy. The mu~eum contains some of the finest ship models in the world, 

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

13 maritime p.iintings by Edward Moran; perhaps the largest collection in 

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

table from the mess deck of the battleship ,\1isso11r1 on which was signed the 

instrument of surrender ending World War II; and thousands of other significant ,terns relating to the history of the Navy, the Marine Corps, and the 

:-S:aval Academy. In addition, the museum has valuable collections of manusuipts and extensive photographic files 

\luseum items in Bancroft Hall include the flag hoisted by Commodore 

Oliver Hazard Perry .11 the Battle of Lake Ene on which were emblazoned the 

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

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

169 
fine portraits of other distinguished naval officers. In the chapel crypt is found 

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

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

Washington; and the dress sword presented to him by King Louis XVI of 

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

Royal Standard. 

The U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association 

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

whose mission is to serve and support the United States, the naval service, 

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

men to enter the Naval Academy and to pursue careers in the regular Navy 

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

bind its alumni together in support of the highest ideals of command, citizenship, and government. 

All former midshipmen of the Naval Academy are eligible for membership 

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

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

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

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

Academy in 1845 through the classes now enrolled. The many functions of 

the Association include annual publication of the RC!gister of Alumni; publication of Sliip111nte, the alumni monthly magazine; support of class and 

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

Academy throughout the year. 

The United States Naval Institute 

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

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

than 63,000 members formed in 1873 for "the advancement of professional, 

170 
literary, and scientific knowledge in the Navy." The membership includes 

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

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

to purchase Naval Institute books, as well as those of other publishers, at 

reduced prices. 

The lnstitute's books include texts on professional naval subjects, training 

guides and manuals, scientific and technical works, and studies in naval 

history.

Appendix D 

Foreign Students 

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

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

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

be addressed through diplomatic channels. The appointments are competitive. 

AMERICAN REPUBLICS OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES. Upon designation 

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

to 20 persons at any one time from other American nations to receive instruction 

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

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

be addressed through appropriate diplomatic channels. The appointments are 

competitive. Nominations must reach the State Department m \Nashmgton, D. C., 

by I January of the calendar year in which entering. 

Foreign nationals receiving instruction at the Naval Academy receive the same 

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

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

Secretary of the Navy, are sub1ect to the same rules and regulations governing admission, attendance, discipline, resignation, discharge, dismissal, and graduation, as 

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

students are not entitled to appointment to any office or position in the U. 5. l\avy 

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

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

Each fore ign candidate must : 

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

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

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

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

candidates must undergo a medical examination and a physical aptitude examination 

180 
by a board of medical examiners designated by the Chief of Naval Personnel. Qualifying Medical and Physical Aptitude examinations are conducted by the Permanent 

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

admission. Foreign candidates are therefore urged to undergo careful preliminary 

examination by qualified medical personnel who are conversant with the physical 

requirements set forth in Appendix C of this catalog before leaving their homes for 

the Naval Academy. Those with obviously disqualifying defects may thus be spared 

the needless expense of the trip to Annapolis. In case of reasonable doubt as to 

whether or not the defects are disqualifying, 11 1s recommended that a telegraphic 

inquiry be addressed to the Dean of Admissions, U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, 

Maryland, 21402, U.S.A. 

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

may meet scholastic entrance requirements by submitting certificates from schools 

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

Aptitude Test and the Achievement Tests in English Composition 3nd Mathematics, 

Level I or Level II. 

Foreign candidates are given the same examination in English composition as 

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

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

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

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

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

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

accredited schools of the United States. 

The naval attache or a diplomatic representative of the United States in the 

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

of idiomatic English. 

Governments should submit the names of candidates as early as possible in order 

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

Academy in late June. 

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

required, in substance as follows· 

181 

l . .. . . .. ........ , a citizen of ........... . 

having been appointed a midshipman at the United States 

Naval Academy, do solemnly swear to comply with all 

regulations for the policy and discipline of the Naval 

Academy, and to give my utmost efforts to accomplish 

satisfactorily the required curriculum; do swear not to 

divulge any information of military value which l may 
Appendix E 

obtain directly or indirectly in consequence of my presence 

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

United States Naval Academv if deficient in conduct, 

health, or studies. 

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

proper authority to be unsahsfactory ,n conduct, studies, or health will be accorded 

the same consideration given to other midshipmen regarding withdrawal from the 

Academy or repetition of a year's work. 

Oath of Office and Entrance Day Procedures 

Candidates for whom there are vacancies, who have subscribed to the Engagement 

to Serve and who have met the scholashc, moral, and physical requirements, will 

re,e1ve appointments as midshipmen and be admitted to the Naval Academy. 

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

offi(e upon entrance 

" /, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... , l11m111g been appointed a mids/1ipma11 

,n tlic Lfo1ted States ,\,ivy, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and

well and f111t/1fully discharge tlte duties of the office 011 whiclt I am about to enter, 

So ffelp ,\le God" 

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

Fo1 and in consideration of the privileges, opportunities, and benefits afforded me 

durin.~ the cont111uance of my sen•icc as a 111idsl1111ma11, I agree to and with the 

Superintendent of tlw United States ,\',w,1/ Arndem.v, as follows· 

" First To enter the service of the .\'m•y of tl1t· United States and, to the utmost of 

my power and ability, to !,e in e1•erytl1ini: conformable and obedient to tlte sr1•eral 

requirements and lawful commands of the officers who may be pl,teed ot>er me. 

182 
"Second. 1 obl,ge myself, during such service, to comply 101th nnd be subject to tl1e 

LJ11iform Code of M1lit11ry ]11st,ce nllfi s11c/1 other lnws nnd reg11/ntions ns nre 01 

slw/1 be estnb/isl1ed by the Congress of tl,e United States or otlier compete11t n11-

tl1or,ty 

"Third: To s11b1111I to trentme11t for the preve11tion of smnllpox, typhoid (typhoid 

11ro11hylnxis), nnd to s11cl, other preve11tit•e 111ens1<res ns mny be considered necessary by 11,wnl authorities." 

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

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

Autlionzn/1011 lo Report issued by the Bureau of Naval Personnel. Living accommodations in the city of Annapolis are limited, and candidates are therefore urged 

to time the,r arrivals in Annapolis to coincide as closely as possible with the reporting time and date, keeping in mind, however, that transportation facilities between 

V\'ashington and Annapolis and between Baltimore and Annapolis are not unlimited. 

Those arriving in Annapolis a day or two prior to their reporting date may take 

advantage of berthing facilities made available at the Naval Academy at a cost of 

Sl per night. Addit1onally, candidates may take their meals in the Midshipmen's 

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

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

Secretary of the Navy, candidates for appointment as midshipmen are required to 

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

whether the candidate's conduct or associations, past and present, have been such 

as to cast any doubt whatever upon his loyalty to the United States. 

The loyalty certific,1te includes a list of those agencies, groups, etc., designated 

by the Attorney General of the United States to be totalitarian, fascist, communist, 

or otherwise subversive, or as having adopted ,1 policy of advocating or approving 

the commission of acts of force or v10lence to deny persons their rights under the 

Constitution of the United States, or to overthrow the government. 

The admission of conduct or association, past or present, within the purview of 

acts as defined in the certificate, or association with any of the groups or organizations designated by the Attorney General, shall preclude appointment pending 

investigation and determination of eligibility by the Department of the Navy 

Midshipmen who are involuntarily separated from the Naval Academy pnor to 

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

equipment deemed suitable for reissue, to an amount sufficient to liquidate their 

indebtedness. If reclaimed articles are insufficient to cover the 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. 

183 
Every candidate must present his Social Security card upon reporting for appointment. If an individual has not obtained a Social Security number as a result of 

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

expected employment as a midshipman. 

Shortly after entrance, each midshipman (except Foreign Nationals) will be required to complete a Statement of Personal History. Candidates should be prepared 

to furnish such information as: 

Names and locations of all schools attended. 

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

were i11 armed forces; naturalization numbers of pnrents if npplicable. 

Relatives 111 foreign countries--relntio11ship and location. 

Names and addresses of former employers. 

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

may mc/11de those of pnrents). 

Residences during pnst 15 years. (Dntes, street addresses, and cities are required.) 

Candidates admitted as midshipmen will be required to submit documentary 

evidence of birth to the Superintendent, U. S. Naval Academy, for transmission to 

the Bureau of Naval Personnel upon admission, or as soon thereafter as practicable. 

A certified copy of the public record of b,rth is the best evidence. Supporting evidence wUl be required if the name on the evidence of birth is not identical with the 

name of the candidate. 

Upon entrance, midshipmen will be required to obtain a regulation entrance outfit from the midshipmen's storekeeper. Slide rules and drawing sets are induded in 

the outfit. Candidates are advised, therefore, not to purchase these items prior to 

entering the Academy. 

After being admitted to the Naval Academy, midshipmen receive travel and 

transportation allowances as prescribed in Joint Travel Regulations (ordinarily, 

mileage allowance of 6 cents per mile for authorized travel). Midshipmen will be 

reimbursed for the actual cost of their fares in commercial ships provided no government transportation was available. In those cases in which travel originates outside the United States, candidates must contact the nearest naval activity for information as to the availability of government transportation before endeavoring 

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

to be reimbursed after he has become a midshipman.
