The Choice is Yours! 

0 ne of our most successful midshipmen. a young man who could have 

gone to nearly any school m the country, told us that he chose the 

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

catalog. as you are doing, and realized that he could major in a subject that interested him. play on any one of 21 varsity athletic teams against the best competition in the country, and receive a fine education and a commission m either 

the Navy or the Marine Corps Depending on his qualifications and the needs of 

the service, he could then serve in the air, on the sea, on the ground, or under the 

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

prepare himself, through further education and training for professional service 

assignments ashore. The Naval Academy meant maximizing his choices as he 

went along with new and exciting options opening before him all the way 

This opportunity can be yours if you have had a good secondary school education have done well in the opportunities open to you both in and out of school 

are physically active and seek challenge. If you are a woman, any duty in the 

Navy or Marine Corps available to men is available to you under current 

statutes, with the exception of those duties that might place you m a combat 

situation

CHAPTER I 

Why the Naval Academy? 

Time Hasn't Changed Our Mission 

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

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

it is only a fleeting one prompted by curiosity. Or, conceivably, your interest could be a deeper one and you could be thinking of attempting to obtain an 

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

to ask questions about it. What can Annapolis offer me that other schools cannot? What will the Naval Academy expect of me? What will I get out of it in the 

long run? In short, why should I consider the Naval Academy ,n making my 

plans for the years ahead? The paragraphs below are an attempt to provide brief, 

obiective answers to those questions. 

Service to Country 

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

Academy is to prepare young men and women to become professional line officers in the Navy or Marine Corps. Nothing else. But no one asks that you come 

to Annapolis with your mind made up that you want to be a career officer ,n the 

naval service. This commitment, if it is to come, develops ,n due time. It 1s considered necessary, however, that you amve here free of preconceived goals 

toward some entirely different area of endeavor. If your primary interest lies in 

such fields as law, education, nursing, the ministry, ecology, etc., the Naval 

Academy is simply not the place for you. 

Before deciding to come to Annapolis, you should clearly understand and accept that you will be educated and trained here for service to your nation You 

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

to serve as an officer in the Navy or Marine Corps for five years after graduation. 

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

Dedication to the idea of service to your country must be high in your reasons for 

coming to Annapolis if you hope to succeed. and if you are to fully justify taking 

your place in the entering class.

Education 

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

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

1845, has been dedicated to providing a sound education for its students. In recent years, the growing complexity of thP Navy, both in its internal technology 

and in the nature of its outside relationships, has broadened the requirements for 

the undergraduate education of its officers at Annapolis. 

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

but, beyond these, each midshipman now chooses from many areas of study, 

ranging from engineering through oceanography, and mathematics on to history, 

economics, and political science. The needs of the Navy require that at least 80 

percent of the midshipmen in each class be enrolled in engineering, scientific, or 

mathematics majors. Other midshipmen may major m the humanities or social 

sciences. Whatever your ma1or, you will find yourself well prepared at graduation to serve as a /me officer in any of the principal warfare specialties. 

Leadership Training 

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

eduat1on. Its program includes military training, physical training, and the inculcation of the ideals of the naval profession. The purpose of the overall program at Annapolis is to produce self-confident leaders who accept and are fully 

ready to carry out their responsibilities both to the nation they serve and to the 

men and women entrusted to their command. This is not an easy goal and no one 

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

spare-time ad1unct to the educational program. It is all-encompassing and its activities pervade the four-year course through all the months of the year. 

Thus, you should fully appreciate that the ultimate objective of the leadership 

training that begins here at Annapolis is to produce officers who can rise to command-professlo11al officers who a re physically strong and mentally competitive 

and who have a solid technical foundation. Officers of unflinching honesty and 

forthrightness. with total commitment to high standards of honor, duty, and 

responsibility Officers who relish a challenge and thrive in accomplishment. 

Characteristically, President Harry Truman cut to the essence of command 

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

the responsibility of command is all about, however, and still remarkably appropriate today, was written by English sea captain and writer Joseph Conrad: 

"In each ship there is one man who, in the hour of emergency or peril at sea, can turn to no other man. There is one 

who alone is ultimately responsible for the safe navigation,

engineering performance, accurate gunfire, and morale of 

his ship. He is the commanding officer. He is the ship." 

Years at Annapolis 

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

development in a new and different environment. You will certainly feel pressure 

and stress in the process and will find it necessary to learn to utilize time better 

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

physical For the entire year. 

Beyond plebe year, the Academy applies its regulations and its system of accountability to you with decreasing severity until, during your first class or senior 

year you will have a great deal of freedom in choosing what you will do and 

where you will go. Along with that increased freedom, however, will come increased responsibility. The first class. and particularly the midshipmen officers 

chosen from the first class. are charged with much of the responsibility for running the Brigade. Student government was a reality at the Naval Academy long 

before it was being discussed at most other institutions. It's part of your training 

here. 

Your four years at Annapolis will not be easy ones. No achievement so worthwhile is ever easy And few achievements are so satisfying. By the time you 

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

physical condition. and leadership ability to the best possible advantage. 

Travel and the Sea 

The Naval Academy 1s linked with the sea through its history, its mission its 

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

ocean-going ships in the Chesapeake on their wa>' to and from Baltimore 

V\lhatever the month, you will usually see part of the Academy's fleet of more 

than 100 small-craft-sail and power-undenvay in the Severn River or on the 

Bay. 

Perhaps you have never thought much about the sea; perhaps you have lived 

near and known 1t well all your life: perhaps you have never known much about 

1t but it has always spelled adventure, travel. and excitement for you. V\lhatever 

your situation, you should not thin!-. serious!>• about Annapolis without also 

thinking about the sea. 

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

of the Navy. After your plebe year, your youngster cruise may take you to ports 

along the East or West coasts to the Caribbean or to distant ports in Europe or 

the Far East. Recent Academy cruises have gone to a number of Mediterranean 
and Northern European countries, as well as to Hawaii, Australia, Japan, and 

Hong Kong m the Pacific. 

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

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

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

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

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

and education. And, once again, you may tram in U.S coastal waters or visit 

ports m Europe or the Far East. 

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

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

Annapolis program. 

Professionalism 

This 1s the word used at Annapolis today to express the overall excellence that has 

been our ideal since the founding of the Naval Academy more than a century and 

a quarter ago. It expresses many things-but at the heart of it is the desire for service to country with which this chapter started The midshipmen themselves have 

a good phrase they use when asked if a particular person should come to the 

Academy They say, "You have to want it." That really says it all. 

It's up to you. 

"Nobody can actually 

duplicate the strain that 

a commander ts under 

in making a decision in 

combat.

CHAPTER II 

Thel£ars1845-1980 

T hrough the vear, 18-15 to 1.980, as the nation's rl'sponsibilities and need 

lor seapower have grown, the Navy has incn·.ised greatly in size and 

complexity. Keeping pace, in peace and war trom sail to sti,am. and into 

the nuclear age, the :-.:a val Academy has n:sponded to every challenge, improving 

its lacilit1l's and revising its program and curriculum as necessary to providi, the 

timely, ,econd-to·none professional leader,h,p expectl'd in the United Sates 

Navy 

The Naval Academy was founded as the \:aval School in 1845 by the 

Honorable George Bancroft. distinguished historian and educator, and Secretary 

of the Navy in President Jame, K Polk s Cabinet. It was located in Annapolis 

Maryland, on the IO-acre site of the Army's nearly abandoned Fort Severn. 

where the Severn River empties into the Chesapeake Bay. 

Commander Franklin Buchanan was the first Superintendent of the Naval 

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

nery, naval tactics. engineering, chemistry, mathematics astronomy, French. 

and English. The course of study was five years the first at Annapolis, three at 

sea, and back to the School for the fifth. Sixty midshipmen, comprising two 

classes, attended the Academy's first convocation. 

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

Board of \'1sitors first met at the Academy, and the course of study was reduced 

to four academic years Summer training cruises provided the m1dsh1pmen with 

seagoing experience to augment their classroom work Thus. the forerunner of to· 

days basic four-year curriculum and summer cruise program first appeared at the 

Naval Academy well over 100 years ago. 

During the Civil War, the Brigade of :'\.lidshipmcn was moved temporarily to 

the mori, secure surroundings of Newport, Rhode Island. Following the war, thl' 

Brigade returned to Annapolis to stay During thl'se early years, the Academy 

was one of the few institutions in Aml'rica offering a sophisticated, technical 

undergraduate program. 

In thl' late 1870 s Albl'rl A M1Chclson, a gradu.ite ol thl' Cl<1ss of 1873 performed his world-famous measurement of the vcloc1ty of light while serving a, an

instructor in the Department of Physics and Chemistry at the Academy. 

Michelson continued his brilliant scientific work after leaving the Navy. and. in 

1907. he became the first American scientist to receive a Nobel Prize The 

supreme compliment was paid by Albert Einstein who once noted the considerable debt that his theory of relativity owed to Michelson's earlier work It is 

not surprising that the science wing of the Academy's science and mathematics 

complex is named Michelson Hall. 

Another distinguished graduate was Alfred Thayer Mahan, whose profound 

writings on sea power and its influences on history are still a world standard in the 

field. Beginning in 1883, Marine officers were commissioned from the Academy 

joining the succession of graduates who have served with distinction in peace and 

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

and Burke and Marine Commandants Lejeune, Russell, Greene, and Cushman 

have earned their place in history. So, also, have astronauts Shepard, Schirra, 

Lovell, Carr, Stafford and Anders. Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, a 1922 

graduate of Annapolis for whom Rickover Hall. our recently completed engineering complex has been named, has personified the Navy's nuclear power program 

for a generation. And. highest honor of all, a 1946 graduate, President Jimmy 

Carter, holds the world's attention and the hopes of his countrymen for leadership in these difficult times as America's 39th President. The successors to these 

graduates, preparing to meet a new generation of challenges, are here as 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 B.S. 

degree to all living graduates. The Middle States Association of Colleges and 

Secondary Schools first accredited the Academy in 1947. And, in 1958, tests of 

the College Entrance Examination Board replaced Academy-prepared entrance 

examinations. Since 1970, candidates have had the option of taking the CEEB 

tests or the American College Testing Program test for entry. 

Electives, validation, and "overloads," introduced in 1959, marked the end of 

the Academy's traditional fixed curriculum. This was followed by the introduction of the Trident Scholars program in 1963; the advent of the Academy's first 

civilian Academic Dean and the introduction of minors and (for some) majors 

programs of study, both in 1964; and, in 1970. the adoption of a required majors 

program for all midshipmen. Designated Bachelor of Science degrees in certain 

engineering majors were first awarded by the Academy in 1969. Currently, seven 

engineering majors lead to designated degrees. All are accredited by the 

Engineers Council for Professional Development (ECPD). 
"We rnust remember that 

one rnan is muc/1 the 

same as another, and that 

he is best who is trained 

in the severest school." 

THUCYDIDES 

An Academic Advisory Board of distinguished Americans, formed by the 

Secretary of the Navy to advise and counsel the Superintendent on academic matters, has met periodically at the Academy each year since 1966. 

Legislation authorizing the admission of women to the service academies "consistent with the needs of the services" was signed by President Ford in October 

1975. The Naval Academy admitted its first women midshipmen (81) on 6 July 

1976. Subsequent classes have averaged about 90 women.

Yard and Facilities 

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

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

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

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

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

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

D C., or Baltimore, Maryland. 

Physical and academic facilities have kept pace with the demands of the curriculum and the Fleet. The original ten acres have grown to today's 329 acres. 

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

River. A landfill completed in 1959 added 56 acres for athletic fields and new 

buildings. Construction of a number of buildings in use today including our 

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

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

Ensuing years have seen the addition of new wings to Bancroft Hall the constructio.1 of Mitscher Hall, containing a chaplains center and an auditorium; the 

construction of Halsey Field House; and the construction, with privately donated 

funds, of the nearby Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. A multimilliondollar renovation of Bancroft Hall was completed in 1965. 

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

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

mementoes commemorating the deeds of our great naval heroes and honoring the 

Navy's finest traditions. 

Currently, a campus-wide construction and rehabilitation plan is nearing completion, Key structures in this plan include the science building Michelson Hall, 

and the adjoining mathematics bulding, Chauvenet Hall, both completed in 1968, 

The 650,000-volume capacity Nimitz Library overlooking the Severn, was completed in 1973. An adjacent engineering building and laboratory complex, 

Rickover Hall, was completed in 1975. New-to-the-walls interiors, including completely modern classrooms and laboratories, have been provided in 

Maury, Sampson, and Luce Halls, A full range of facilities and services for student and faculty research, computer-aided education, and educational television is available throughout the academic complex All academic areas are airconditioned. 

In recent years, privately donated funds from friends and alumni have given us 

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

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

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

lounges, and game rooms. Construction of a new athletic facility, Lejeune Hall, 

featuring an Olympic-size pool, was begun ad1acent to the Field House in 1979. It 

will be completed in 1981. 

The center for daily living is Bancroft Hall. one of the largest dormitory complexes 1n the world. Stretching over many acres, it houses the entire Brigade All 

of the basic facilities for daily living, as well as many for recreation, are found in 

Bancroft Hall,

HAPTER III 

Life at Annapolis 

T he Naval Academy is charged with the responsibility of preparing mid-

' shipmen for service as commissioned officers in the U. S. Navy or 

Marine Corps. In fulfillment of this responsibility, the staff and faculty 

ust ensure not only that the academic program is first-rate but also that mid-

;hipmen are prepared morally and physically or the rigors of commissioned serice This is a threefold mission that requires careful organization and a clear set 

f priorities 

During the academic year, first priority is given to studies, and each midshipan has ample time for out-of-classroom study and research. On weekdays, 

Following the last class of the day, midshipmen participate in intramural or varity sports and other extracurricular activities. 

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

pperclassmen engage in a program of summer cruises at sea or in indoctrination 

isits and training at selected naval shore activities Upperclassmen also enjoy an 

xtended leave period during the summer. 

oral Development 

oral development is a unique and vital part of the Naval Academy's four-year 

rogram There is an Honor Concept to support and live by. Its standards are 

igh and unequivocal, and every midshipman 1s expected to measure up 

Our entering midshipmen reflect a composite of feelings, attitudes, and beliefs, 

all interrelated and all dependent upon previously developed sets of personal 

values. Whatever their backgrounds, an established moral base for decisionmaking is presumed for all new midshipmen But a real test lies ahead For here, 

as future officers, midshipmen must constantly examine and evaluate their individual values in the clear light of the ethical requirements of the naval service. 

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

steal, but much more is demanded. Midshipmen are taught formally and by example to recognize the common good, to build a community which shares concern for its members. and to make difficult ethical choices. They learn to do their 

duty, to take careful oversight of their subordinates, and to meet high standards

Organization 

To accomplrsh the uniquely military aspects of the :S:aval Academy's mission, the 

student body is organized into the Brigade of Midshipmen The Commandant of 

1\lidsh1pmen. a rear admiral or a senior Navy captain. commands the Brigade. He 

rs responsible for instilling high ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty; for providing 

military indoctrinallon and physical development; and tor inculcating midshipmen with the desire to achieve the high standards of performance required of 

midshipmen and officers of the naval service. In carrying out these respons1b1h1tes the Commandant is assisted by an immediate staff of officers. designated 

the Oft1ce of the Commandant and by five subordinate departments or groups of 

officers The departments reporting to the Commandant include the D1vi,ion of 

Professional Development, the Brigade Officers. the Phy,ical Education Department, the Brigade Chaplains and the Midshipmen Supply Department 

The Brigade Officers consist of six battahon officers, offrcers of the grade of 

Navy commander or Manne Corps lieutenant colonel. and 36 company officers 

composed of Navy heutenants and lieutenant commanders and Marine Corps 

captains and majors. These officers work in close daily contact with the midshipmen in Bancroft Hall. Here, by precept and example; the applicallon of 

sound techniques of leadership, counsel. and guidance and. when required, corrective or disciplinary actton. midshipmen are measured molded, and motivated 

tor thl' day when they will Join the Navy or the :'l.1anne Corps as commiss10ned 

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

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

· a company wardroom for informal meetings, reading, or watching television 

he Midshipmen's Wardroom, a large, air-conditioned dining hall extending 

eaward from Bancroft Hall, accommodates the entire Brigade, family-style, for 

eals Also included m Bancroft hall are small Catholic and Protestant chapels, 

vith chaplains' offices adjoining; a midshipmen's store for daily necessities and 

n occasional gift; tailor and uniform shops; and three barber shops, a bookstore, 

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

"The Steerage"). On weekends, Memorial Hall, Smoke Hall, and the nearby ac1vily center in Dahlgren Hall provide attractive settings For dances and other 

·ecreat,onal activities. 

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

attalions. The six battalions are each divided into six companies. Midshipmen of 

ill four classes are assigned to each company-the basic military and organizaional unit for numerous competitive activities during the year. 

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

heir subordinate platoons, 1s under the command of a midshipman first class, 

ided by his midshipmen staff and assistants. Midshipmen are selected For these 

ommands and staffs on the basis of their demonstrated proficiency in leadership 

nd their other officer-like qualities

Years of Development 

The incoming midshipmen are officially designated midshipmen fourth class, but 

are traditionally known as plebes. ln succeeding years, they become third 

classmen or youngsters, then second classmen, and finally, in their senior year, 

midshipmen first class 

Plebe Year. The new midshipmen undergo a comprehensive program of military 

training and indoctrination from their first day in early July until the end of their 

plebe year the following May Demands upon them and upon their spare time, all 

with good reason, seem never-ending. Midshipmen quickly learn during this 

period that they are learning subordinates, under close supervision and careful 

guidance. Plebe indoctrination is administered by midshipmen of the first class, 

assisted by the second classmen. and closely supervised by the Commandant and 

the 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 the military environment. Its aim is to teach each plebe to: 

Exercise self-discipline, 

Organize time and effort effectively, 

Perform efficiently under stress, 

Think and react quickly with good judgement, 

Exhibit an exemplary military bearing and appearance. 

Plebe year is designed to test and develop. lt is a demanding period requinng 

midshipmen to stand on their own feet, to produce under pressure, to respond 

promptly and intelligently to orders and. finally to measure up to the highest 

standards of character, honor, and morality. 

The first day of plebe summer is a day that most midshipmen will remember 

for many years. This is scarcely surprising for in one schedule-crammed day 

civilians become midshipmen. They are given haircuts. pose for ID photos, fill 

out forms and more forms. wince through innoculations, and don newly issued 

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

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

first meal in the vast Midshipmen s Wardroom. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

dose down ... 

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

everywhere m Bancroft hall-giving orders, instructing, challenging every 

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

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

collapse into bed. 

Reveille jars everyone back to reality It is 6:15 the next morning. · Another 
day in which to excell," as they say around here. And so it goes; there's no letup 

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

soon seem far behind. 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic skills 

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

sailing Navy yawls, and participating in a rigorous physical conditioning program contribute to making each midshipman a proudly versatile individual. 

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

range of activities, including athletics, dress parades, seamanship drills, sailing, 

and talent shows. 

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

of the new midshipmen have the opportunity to visit the Academy and enjoy the 

weekend with their sons and daughters. A dress parade, exhibitions in sports, 

dining and sailing with the midshipmen, and the opportunity to meet the faculty 

and company officers help to assure parents that their sons and daughters are 

taking their new life as midshipmen in stride. 

Upperclassmen return from at-sea training, leave, and other summer activities 

the following week. Plebe summer 1s over but plebe indoctrination continues. 

The academic year gets underway. Four years of studies have begun, paced by a 

demanding daily schedule ...

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

football season, selected units of the Brigade travel to out-of-town games. The 

entire Brigade attends home games, and, at the end of the season, travels to 

Philadelphia for the annual donnybrook with the Black Knights of the Hudson, 

the cadets of West Point. 

December examinations end the first semester, and midshipmen depart on an 

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

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

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

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

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

by a week of leave for all classes. Studies end with examinations in mid-May. 

Following a short leave, m1dsh1pmen return for graduation (Commissioning 

Week) the last week in May 

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

that it is almost over-yes; yet, at the same time, there are well-deserved feelings 

of confidence and pride that the challenge has been met. 

Third Class Year. At the end of Commissioning Week, the first year of intensive 

indoctrination is ended and the new third classmen depart on six to eight weeks of 

training at sea with the Fleet. accompanied by midshipmen of the first class. Atsea training is followed by about 30 days of leave 

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

and respect the Navy·s enlisted men whom they will later command and upon 

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

actively participate in a wide range of shipboard operations. They stand deck. 

gunnery, operations, and engmeenng watches; operate ship's boats; and exercise 

at general shipboard drills. 

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

to the Academy for their second academic year and begin work m their ma1ors. 

And, although the new year brings additional military responsibilities, the lessened emphasis on indoctrination leaves more time for studies and for sports and 

other extracurricular activities. It 1s a welcome and deserved change! 

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

of their second Commissioning Week, third classmen become second classmen 

Second Class Yea r. During a fast-moving summer, second classmen undertake professional studies at the Naval Academy and receive familiarization 

training in the warfare specialties of the Navy and Marine Corps. In New 
I 

London, Connecticut each receives an introduction to the subma rine service 

through lectures ashore and through visits and short cruises on board nuclear 

ubmarines of the U. S. Atlantic Fleet Traveling to Norfolk Virginia, the new 

econd classmen undergo combat systems training at the Fleet Combat Training 

Center, and visit modern destroyers and amphibious ships. Flight indoctrination 

in naval training and operational aircraft 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 summers professional training 

Following summer leave, still greater military responsibilities become theirs as 

second class midshipmen return to the Academy for their third academic year, 

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

officers are selected and trained to direct the Brigade du ring 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 Commissioning Week has come and gone, and first class 

year is undenvay 

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

opportunity to assume the responsibilities and perform the duties of junior 

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

part in the training and indoctrination of the new plebe class at Annapolis during 

the summer. 

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

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

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

center and in the engineering spaces, and lectures and studies on other aspects of 

shipboard life complete the summer's training with the Fleet. 

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

training cruises, although some ships may remain in U.S. coastal waters. Depending on their ship assignment, visits may be made to such places as Hawaii, Japan, 

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

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

Norway in Northern Europe. 

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

academic studies-their principal responsibility throughout the four years at 

Annapolis-and to undertake their important new responsibilities for directing 

the Brigade of Midshipmen. Midshipmen officers, call "stripers,' lead the Brigade 

in parades, ceremonies, and at daily formations. They are responsible for the 

conduct military smartness, and competitive records of their units. They are in 

charge of the midshipman watch organization in Bancroft Hall. The selection of 

three sets of midshipmen officers during each academic year increases the individual opportunity for this valuable leadership experience. The third, or 

Commissioning Week set of stnpers, 1s selected by the Commandant from among 

the most capable midshipmen in the first two. 

In carrying out these demanding responsibilities, the first class midshipmen 

must call upon all the leadership skills they have developed during their first three 

years. Following this final year of practical leadership experience, they find 

themselves well prepared at graduation to assume their responsibilities in the 

Navy or the Marine Corps as newly commissioned officers. 

The Honor Concept 

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

responsibility is a vital goal in each midshipman's professional development at 

Annapolis. Unflinching honesty and forthrightness are essential elements of this 

commitment. The Honor Concept of the Brigade of Midshipmen contributes to 

this development by providing guiding precepts which aid midshipmen in achieving these high personal standards. By outlining generalized principles to live 
by-a way of life rather than a set of regulations-the Honor Concept seeks to instill standards of integrity which will motivate midshipmen to make decisions 

consistent with the highest ideals of honor in every situation they encounter. 

The Honor Concept is more than a device for dealing with certain conduct 

violations. It is an operational reality within the Brigade, with each class participating throughout the year in its interpretation and administration through Company Honor Representatives to the Brigade Honor Committee The Concept does 

not foster the belief in the Brigade that honorable conduct is strictly associated 

with the Naval Academy, but rather that it is an integral part of the professionalism expected of officers throughout their careers. 

The Professional Training Program 

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

assistance of the Director of Professional Development. The program encompasses a wide range of training, studies, and drills, and is designed to provide 

graduates with a sound foundation in the fundamental specialized subjects and 

skills required of professional officers in the Navy or Marine Corps. 

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

at the Academy. Class standing at graduation and seniority as a newly commissioned officer depends significantly on a midshipman's professional training 

performance. 

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

and a variety of evoluhons and drills both ashore and afloat-in which the midshipmen learn by doing. Progressing from basic military and naval knowledge to

the presentation of more advanced information and concepts, the program supports and complements both the military life within the Brigade and the profess10nally oriented academic courses. A description of the courses, drills, and training making up the professional training program begins on page 135. 

The Yard Patrol Squadron 

The Naval Academy's Yard Patrol Squadron provides volunteer midshipmen 

members with a unique opportunity to test and develop professional knowledge 

and skills acquired in the classroom while underway on the Chesapeake Bay and 

its tributaries. Squadron operations are under the general superv1s1on of officers 

of the Seamanship and Navigation Department under the Academy's Director of 

Professional Development. The organization and operations of the YP Squadron 

are similar to those of Navy destroyer squadrons on duty around the world. 

The midshipman selected as the squadron commodore is responsible for the 

overall performance and excellence of the squadron in proficiency competition. 

inspections. and on cruises. Midshipmen assisting the commodore include a 

chief staff officer. two division commanders. and an administrative officer. 

Completing the staff is an engineering officer who supervises training in engineering and ensures proper operation and maintenance of engineering equipment. 

Each of the squadron's six 80-foot yard patrol craft is commanded by a midshipman first or second class selected for his ability to assume the responsibilities 

of a commanding officer. The commanding officer and his crew of 20, composed 

of midshipmen from all classes, get underway three afternoons a week and conduct classroom training the other two. In addition to weekday training sessions, 

weekend cruises are conducted to nearby Chesapeake Bay ports and to 

Washington, Norfolk, and Philadelphia. 

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

crew ad1udged most proficient overall in tactics, deck seamanship. piloting, communications and engineering is declared the winner for the year 

Aviation Training 

The Naval Academy s Aviation Training Program. VT-NA. is a voluntary professional program designed to provide midshipmen with additional knowledge 

and skills relating to naval aviation. Organized along the lines of a Fleet aviation 

squadron, VT-NA affords interested individuals of all classes the opportunity to 

participate in a training syllabus which includes ground school and field trips and 

(for aviation-qualified first classmen) Flight time in general aviation type aircraft. 

Fleet-experienced aviators of the Navy and Marine Corps supervise the program 
to ensure standardization and operational safety. Although designed specifically 

to prepare midshipmen for future careers in military aviation, many midshipmen 

work toward obtaining their private pilot's certificate through this program and 

through the Naval Academy Flying Club, one of over 80 extracurricular activities 

at the Academy 

Leave and Privileges 

The amount of leave and other privileges granted midshipmen varies directly 

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

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

more privileges. 

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

the year. These include a three-week Christmas leave ending the fi rst semester, 

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

summer leaves for the three upper classes. 

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

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

Fourth classmen are granted liberty on Saturday afternoons and evenings and 

dining-out privileges with relatives and close friends on Saturdays and Sundays. 

They are permitted to have dates on at least four weekends in addition to Commissioning Week. 

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

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

on Wednesday afternoons and first classmen have liberty weekday afternoons 

and on Friday evenings Weekday liberties begin after classes are completed for 

the day. 

Weekend liberty is granted to upperclassmen. Midshipmen third class are afforded three weekends each semester; second class midshipmen receive five each 

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

authorized to take; however. a number are required to remain at the Naval 

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

of the Brigade. 

Cultural Affairs Program 

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

arts within the Brigade, the Cultural Affairs Program, sponsored by the English 

Department offers many opportunities for midshipmen to attend the finest professional productions of dramas, operas, symphonies, and ballets in nearby

Physical Education 

In supporting the m1ss1on of the Naval Academy, the program ol the Phvsical 

Education Department makes a vital contribution to the physical development of 

mid,h1pmt·n. The program continues throughout the lour years. All midsJ..ipmen 

participate 

The program's aims are to develop sJ...,11 confidence, teamwork, endurance 

agility, and compellt1ve spant. to develop useful habits ot physical tatness: to 

d•·vclop the capabihty to train and instruct others. and to develop thl' 

b,icJ...ground and capability to withstand physical hardship. Equally important 

the program aims to be enjoyable, to provide a release from the acadl.'mic 

routtnl' to develop a lasting apprl'c1allon for sports in general and to develop ind1v1dual ,J...1lls in carry-over sports for enjoyment after graduation 
Women participate in the same physical fitness and physical education program as the men except that some adjustments are made in the program's content 

(no contact sports such as boxing, wrestling, etc.) and the standards to be met by 

women because of physiological differences. 

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

posture, swimming capability, and general athletic ability is followed by instruction and practice in boxing, wrestling, lacrosse, fencing, soccer, rugby, gymnastics, crew, golf, tennis, squash racquets, swimming and track. 

The pace continues during the first academic year. Instruction is given in swimming, boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, golf, personal conditioning, squash racquets, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. ln addition, midshipmen develop their skills 

in basketball. handball, and bowling, and they are tested in applied strength, 

agility, swimming, boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, during a mile run, and on the 

obstacle course. 

The final three years provide increasingly advanced instruction and demanding 

tests. For additional details of the Physical Education Department and its program, refer to chapter 8.

Religious Activities 

The copper-green dome of the Chapel towers over the other buildings in the Yard 

at the Naval Academy and, in a sense, acts as a symbol of Annapolis to the outside world. This is more than a coincidence. Over the decades of our history, 

fighting Americans have learned by experience that there 1s a dimension to 

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

What 1s 1t that strengthens men and women in the daily battles of life? Where 

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

capable of decisions that disregard political or personal expediency? The answers 

to these questions vary widely among individuals who serve in the armed forces. 

We try to provide some of the answers here. 

Protestant, Catholic and Jewish services, in both traditional and contemporary 

form, are held each week The midshipmen may also attend any of the churches 

in the community. While attendance at religious services is optional, midshipmen 

are reminded that, as officers in the naval service, their personal beliefs will often 

be tested, and that, in time of stress, their subordinates will look to them for 

spiritual as well as professional guidance. The Naval Academy has long believed 

that future officers owe it to themselves and to those they will lead to gain insights into moral, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of military leadership and, 

therefore, urges each midshipman to take full advantage of opportunities here for 

worship and moral development. 

From the first day of plebe summer until the day of commissioning, four years 

later, the Academy's staff of six chaplains serves and administers to the needs of 

the Brigade of Midshipmen in many ways. A chaplain is associated with each of 

the six battalions in Bancroft Hall Here, personal counseling ranges from faithcentered issues through crises of life and death to future marriage plans. 

In exercising a ministry of 'presence" throughout the daily life of the Brigade, 

chaplains lead the prayer at evening meal, involve themselves with athletic teams 

and a host of other Brigade activities, and sponsor Bible studies, prayer groups, 

and instruction classes- all of which are designed to share and build lasting 

spiritual resources, to build the strength and inspiration which comes from a real, 

deeply personal relationship with God. 

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 
, 

ealth. If hospitalization is necessary, m1dsh1pmen are sent to the National Naval 

Vledical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. 

idshipmen are provided professional legal advice and assistance for problems 

of a personal nature by the Legal Assistance Office in his professional capacity as 

a lawyer in uniform. His office is located in the Administration Building. 

Financial Advice 

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

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

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

through individual counselling as needed. The Midshipmen Financial Advisor is a 

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

CHAPTER IV 

The Naval Profession 

0 urs is a complex l\avy-one whose ships range every ocean, whose 

supersonic planes provided the training ground for Americas first 

astronauts. whose nuclear submarines and surface ships are a 

testimony to America's engineering geruus. whose leaders advise in the highest 

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

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

human being is, in the end, all-important. It is an organization which puts a high 

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

proud past and a promising future, broad enough to provide a stimulating 

challenge in a spectrum of interesting fields. 

After four intensive years of learning at Annapolis Naval Academy graduates 

are fully ready lo assume the responsibilities of an officer in lht greatest Navy or 

Manne Corps in the world Every physically qualihcd graduate 1s commissiont•d 

in the unrestricted line of the Navy or the Marine Corps.· Those physically ineligible to accept these commissions may apply for a commission in various stall

Assignments for Women Officers 

Recent Congressional legislation amended the long-standing law that prohibited 

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

in combat missions This new legislation permits women to serve as members of 

ship\ company on a variety of auxiliary ships (repair ships. research vessels. 

salvage ships. replenishment vessels) which do not 11Cn111ally perform a combat 

mission Women ollicers arc now also eligible for temporary duty assignment

The limited number of non-combat related sea billets means that women may, in 

general, expect the majority of their assignments to be ashore. So although a 

percentage of women officer graduates from the a val Academy will go to sea or 

fly a plane (surface and air warfare specialists), the majority of women officer 

graduates will develop other specialties and pursue careers (occas1onally at sea) in 

such areas as administration, communications, computer science, engineering, 

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

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

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

them in a combat situation. Thus, all military occupational specialties are 

available to women officers except infantry, artillery, tanks and combat flying. 

First Duty 

An Annapolis graduates first career opportunity comes in the choice of duty 

following graduation. The priority assigned individual preferences is dependent 

upon the needs of the service and other factors. including class standing and the 

personal qualifications of the individual. Every attempt is made to assign 

graduates to the duty and locality requested. 
Whatever the initial operational duty, officers usually find that the responsibilities assigned are greater than those of their contemporaries in civilian life 

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

thus, headed ultimately for command at sea. Those graduates who choose to go 

to sea initially on a surface ship (e.g., aircraft carrier. cruiser, destroyer, or 

replenishment or amphibious warship) attend a four-month course at the Surface 

Warfare Officer School prior to reporting to their first ship Other graduates may 

qualify and be selected for nuclear power training, with ultimate assignment to 

nuclear-powered submarines or surface combatant ships of the Fleet. 

Graduate programs leading to advanced degrees are available to a small 

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

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

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

One out of every six Annapolis graduates may volunteer for appointment in 

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

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

by officers. After this familiarization training, the Marine lieutenant will receive 

. formal training in the occupational specialty he or she chooses Career field 

· choices include the combat arms, aviation. intelligence. logistics, engineers, air 

traffic control data processing, supply and communications Upon completion 

of training, the lieutenant will be assigned to a regular Marine Corps unit. 

Officers not physically qualified for the options described above may select 

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

Corps 

Officer Career Patterns 

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

career patterns to a significant degree through their requests for assignments 

afloat and ashore, advanced studies, and, of course. by personal performance. 

After the initial tour, most young officers have a fairly well developed idea of 

what specialty they would like to follow. Line officers seek operational 

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

aircraft squadron, or Marine combat unit. Tours of duty ashore occur at regular 

intervals. Officers aspiring to command at sea will serve in a number of ships or 

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

afloat and ashore, in the United States and overseas. 

Graduate studies and repeated assignments within specialized fields provide 

line officers with subspecialties which generally are exercised ashore These 

subspecialties include such varied fields as ship engineering, aeronautical 

engineering, management, international relations, and personnel administration

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

are similar, there are some significant differences. Upon completion of the 

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

the Manne lieutenant can expect to be assigned to Fleet Manne Force operational 

units m the United States or m the Far East. During this initial tour, the Marine 

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

can expect assignment to jobs outside his or her specialty, such as independent 

duty, barracks duty, recruiting duty or duty with other services or with a major 

headquarters staff. As Manne Corps officers advance in rank and experience, 

they find themselves receiving advanced professional training at various service 

schools, attending graduate schools, and assuming greater responsibilities in 

command and staff positions. 

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

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

sailor, Manne, aviator, engineer, manager, scientist, administrator, educator, 

diplomat. Fleet commander. This is not Just a job, but a way of life-a career 

dedicated to the service of the United States and its people, carrying with it high 

professional prestige and opportunities for broad experience, a career which 

rewards the industrious, the loyal. and the imaginative. It is a career for those 

with a zeal for strenuous living, patriotism, and dedication to an ideal of real 

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

Navy or Marine Corps of the United States.

Officer Education and Training 

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

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

as they are in the service. From graduation day forward . they will continue to 

prepare for assignments of greater responsibility and professional attainment by 

acquiring practical experience ashore and afloat and through advanced academic 

work The extent of attainment is limited only by ability initiative, energy and 

resourcefulness, commensurate with logical career planning and execution. 

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

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

at both naval and civilian institutions which are designed to prepare officers for 

higher responsibilities. This move toward graduate education begins before 

graduation for those midshipmen selected for scholarships in civilian universities 

or for Navy and Marine Corps-sponsored graduate programs 

Navy functional and technical courses provide the initial post-commissioning 

training for many officers. The duration and complexity of these courses vary 

w1del> but all are taught on a postgraduate level They vary from the eighteen 

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

damage control, communications, electronics maintenance and antisubmarine 

warfare Some exceptional educational opportunities are afforded by these curriculums. For example, many graduates are selected for the nuclear power training program. Sponsored jointly by the Navy and the Energy Research and 

Development Administration, this training is considered the finest technical 

preparation in its field anywhere in the world. 

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

qualified Naval Academy graduates may expect orders to graduate study for one 

or more years Opportunities for graduate work continue throughout an officer's 

career Military service colleges, in particular, are noted for their educational 

programs in the fields of management, economics tactics and international relations and for relating these studies to our global strategy. Officers who aspire to 

positions of high responsibility must, of necessity, continue to grow intellectually 

and thus be students during all of their professional lives. 

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

fulfillment ot our national policy commitments has opened the way for an unprecedented number of career opportunities for Navy and Marine Corps officers 

Fleet and field operational experience continues to be an important constant in 

the career pattern, and the need for specialists trained in technical fields. governmental affairs, education, training, or managerial skills expands at a rate that can 

be satisfied only by a commitment of the Navy to the concept of an educated off 1ccr This commitment has been made and reaffirmed throughout the Navy at

every kvel of leadership. A career officer becomes a part of this commitment, 

and thus every Naval Academy graduate can be assured that his or her professional talents and intellectual ability will be enhanced by educational opportunities and by assignments that fully challenge interests and capabilities.

CHAPTER V 

Admissions 

E ach year, the Naval Academy selects approximately 1,300 candidates for 

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

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

Naval Academy encourages this diversity and recognizes the value and promise 

of a Brigade enriched by a membership representing every race, creed, color, and 

background found in this nation. Students from minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply for admission. The number of minority students in recent 

entering classes has risen sharply. The Class of 1983 included 192 (over 13 percent 

of the class) from racial and ethnic minorities. 

Certain general eligibility requirements for candidates do exist. Candidates 

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

not have passed their 22nd birthday by 1 July in the year of admission. They must 

I 

be unmarried and have no children and, except for limited quotas of foreign midshipmen specifically authorized by Congress, must be citizens of the United 

States. 

Meeting these requirements, prospective candidates must then proceed to obtain a nomination; qualify scholastically. medically, and in physical aptitude; 

and be selected for entry. The Admissions Board examines each candidate's 

school records, SAT or ACT scores, recommendations from school officials, 

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

potential, and academic aptitude and achievement. Qualification for admission 

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

High School Program 

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

rigorous college program. The quality of the work is important. Over 80 percent 

of the members of the class of 1983 ranked in the top 20 percent of their high 

school classes. 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 

stro11gly encouraged to include the following subjects in their high school or prep

school curriculum 

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

Language-two years. European or World History-one year Chemistry-one 

year, Physics-one year. 

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

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

Academy as plebes, however and must complete the entire Four-year program 

The Admissions Board requires that applicants furnish transcripts of any college 

work they have taken. 

Precandidate Questionnaire 

Applicants should submit a Precandidate Questionnaire to the Naval Academy in 

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

will open a preadmission file upon receipt of this questionnaire, and evaluations 

will be provided to applicants by late summer. Information gathered in the preadmission file will also be used by the Academy to provide the applicant's Congressman with periodic status reports, including a preliminary evaluation of the 

applicant, results of the medical examination. and other information which may 

assist the applicant in being selected for a Congressional nomination. Precandidate Questionnaires should be requested from the Director, Candidate 

Guidance, U S. Naval Academy, Annapolis Maryland 21402. 
Candidate Guidance 

The Candidate Guidance Office in Leahy Hall at the Naval Academy provides 

counsel to young men and women who are interested m a career of naval service 

through Annapolis This office also coordinates the nationwide activities of some 

1,500 selected Naval Reserve officers, not on active duty, and civilians who have 

been designated Na, al Academy Information Officers. These officers are 

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

throughout the year with officials at Annapolis. Appendix E lists the State Area 

Coordinators of this program After reading this catalog, applicants who have 

questions about the Academy or its admission procedures should write to the 

coordinator nearest them or to

Congressional Nominating Procedures 

Ten candidates may be nominated for each vacancy a member of Congress has at 

the Naval Academy. At the member of Congress discretion, nominees may be 

designated as principal," "1st alternate,' '2nd alternate "and so on to '9th alternate·; or they may be nominated as a principal with nine competitive alternates 

for evaluation by the Naval Academy; or they may simply be nominated as a 

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

the vacancy The top candidate on the list who is found to be completely 

qualified for admisswn by the Academy will be appointed But this does not 

ml'an that the others are no longer considered In fact 1f μarticular/11 well 

qualified, 1l is possible that they all may be accepted for admission as qualified 

alternates or competitors. 
Admission of Qualified Alternates and Competitors 

Each year the J aval Academy admits several hundred qualified alternates and 

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

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

vacancies, are still considered on a competitive basis for Annapolis, if qualified. 

No special application for these appointments 1s necessary as all qualified candidates will be considered automatically by the Academy's Admissions Board. 

Admission of Women 

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

be authorized by the Navy to admit approximately 90 women in the Class of 

1985. The number ol women who may bcc appointed from each of the existing 

sources of nominations listed on pages 63 and 64 of this catalog, is proportional 

to the total number of appointments authorized by law for these sources. Women 

compete with men nominated from the same sources, except for children of 

Medal of Honor winners, who are admitted without limit if qualified. 

\!\'omen who hold Congressional principal nominations are admitted, 1f 

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

Congressional-type sources of appointment exceeds the number apportioned to 

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

of Puerto Rico and American Samoa Delegates from D. C Guam, and the 

Virgin Islands, and the Resident Comm1ss1oner of Puerto Rico) If this occurs, 

women who are qualified principal candidates compete in order of merit with 

women who are in line to be offered Congressional-type appointments, up to the 

number apportioned to these sources The remainder ot the women in this group 

have priority among the qualified alternates and competitors discussed above. 

Sound complicated1 Yes, but ii you read it again slowly you will see that, as 

Congress intended, women are being offered the maximum opportunity to compete with men up to the authorized number of appointments. 

Previous Candidates 

Unsuccessful applicants for a previous entering class may reopen their admissions 

files for a subsequent class by writing the Director of Candidate Guidance. A second Prospective Candidate Questionnaire is not required. Applicants must, 

however, obtain a new nomination to be considered for admission, and they 

must continue to meet general eligibility requirements regarcHng age, marital 

status, etc Retaking of SAT ACT tests is highly recommended. Additionally for 

maximum benefit, an} college or Junior college work taken by candidates should

include a curriculum similar lo that of first year midshipmen (i e., a full academic 

schedule including math. science, and English). 

Readmission of Former Midshipmen 

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

1 July of the expected year of graduation from the Academy. In addition to obtaining a new nomination and completing the other normal admission requirements, approval of the Naval Academy's Academic Board is required for 

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

Admissions not later than 1 April 

Medical Examination 

Applicants must pass a very thorough medical examination. The examination is 

designed to ensure that they possess the physical and mental fitness and the personality and behavior characteristics necessary to adjust to service life and to 

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

applicants in good health with normal vision usually have little difficulty in passing the examination. Candidates should carefully review the detailed medical 

standards contained in appendix 8. Candidates having less than 20120 uncorrected vision and or having defective color vision should take careful note of the 

Eyes and Vision section, appendix B Those who wear contact lenses must comply with special examination procedures. 

All medical examinations of candidates are conducted at designated medical 

examining centers. Examinations are conducted only for those candidates who 

have been officially scheduled by the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DODMERB). an agency responsible for scheduling and 

evaluating examinations for all of the U. S. service academies. The priority of 

medical scheduling of Naval Academy candidates is determined by the Academy 

This procedure is necessary because of the limited number and capacity of examining facilities available throughout the nation. 

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

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

for an appointment. Other candidates may not be scheduled at all if for example. 

they are found not scholastically qualified by the Admissions Board. However, 

candidates may be assured that if they are otherwise fully qualified and are in a 

position to be appointed to the Naval Academy immecliate action will be taken to 

see that their medical examination is scheduled. 
The Physical Aptitude Examination 

Candidates must score acceptably on the Physical Aptitude Examination to 

qualify for entry. Testing coordination, strength, speed, agility, and endurance, 

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

hang (women), and a standing long jump, a kneeling basketball throw, and a 

300-yard shuttle run. The examination is a separate examination, separately conducted, and is not part of the Medical Examination. 

Complete details of this examination are provided candidates by the Naval 

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

or by any commissioned officer on active duty. 

In addition to being in good physical condition in order to do well on this test, 

candidates are strongly advised to be in the best possible physical condition when 

they enter the Naval Academy in early July. The first summer is very demanding 

physically, starting with the very first day, and endurance and upper body 

strength are particularly important. Cross-country runs, weightlifting, isometric 

exercises, swimming, push-ups, and chin-ups, and (for women) the flexed-arm 

hang are valuable conditioning exercises prior to entry,

Pay and Expenses 

\ltdsh1pmm arc currently paid 5375.oO per month, commencing on the date of 

admission This salary provides fund, for uniforms. books, equipment, laundry, 

and income ta, and for leaves, dating, and other personal needs while at the 

'-.aval Academy , By graduation, mid,hipmcn will have accrued savings averagin!, some 51 ,500 Typically thts will be u,ed to augment their wardrobe of officer 

uniform, and to help them establish them,dve, at their new duty stations. 

Bdor,· being admitted a, a midshipman, each candidate must deposit with the 

:--tid,hipmen\ Store the sum of 5500, to be used in partial payment tor uniforms, 

ck,thing, etc. In ca,es ol extreme hardship this sum may be reduced to 5100, in 
which case money allowances will be reduced until the individual's account 

reaches prescribed levels. The amount deposited is not refunded, but is expended 

at entrance for clothing, uniforms. etc., which become the property of the 

midshipman. 

The regulation entrance outfit, plus the additional uniforms. clothing, textbooks, and expenses required the first year, are valued at approximately $3,000. 

The deposit made at the time of entrance is supplemented by an entrance credit of 

$1,200 upon first admission to the Naval Academy. The S1,200 credit is an 

interest-free loan advanced by the government to defray the cost of the uniforms 

and equipment required during the first year. Repayment of the indebtedness is 

accomplished by monthly deductions of S100 from the midshipman·s pay, beginning in April of the first year at the Naval Academy and continuing until the indebtedness 1s liquidated. 

Agreement to Serve Signed by Entering Midshipmen 

As required by Title 10, U S. Code, Secllon b959a each midshipman who 1s a 

citizen or national of the United States shall sign an agreement (with the consent 

of parents or guardian if a minor) that he ·she will: 

Complete the course of instruction at the Naval Academy· 

Accept an appointment and serve on active duty as a commissioned officer of 

the Regular Navy or Marine Corps for at least five years immediately after 

graduation and 

Accept an appointment as a commissioned officer in the reserve component of 

the Navy or Marine Corps and remain therein until the sixth anniversary of 

graduation from the Naval Academy if an appointment as a commissioned officer 

in the regular component is not tendered at graduation or if such graduate is permitted to resign as a commissioned officer of the regular component before the 

sixth anniversary. 

Commissioned officers of the regular components of the Navy and Marine 

Corps serve at the pleasure of the President. No terminal dates are established for 

their commissions 

Service Obligation, Separations, and Resignations 

A midshipman entering the Naval Academy directly from a civilian status 

assumes a six-year military service obligation, as provided by Title 10, U. S. 

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

"America11is111 is a q11estio11 of pri11ciple of purpose of idealis111, of

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

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

duty for such a period of time as the Secretary of the Navy may prescribe but not 

for more than four years, as provided by Title 10, U S. Code, Section 69656. 

The following policies apply to midshipmen who enter the Naval Academy 

directly from a civilian status: 

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

classman who is separated, or whose resignation is accepted, will be discharged 

from the naval service. 

Second and first classmen (juniors and seniors): A second classman who is 

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

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

semester) will be discharged from the naval service. A second classman (after 

commencing the second class academic year) or a first classman who is separated 

or whose resignation is accepted prior to fulfilling the Agreement to Serve detailed in the preceding section may be transferred to the Naval or Marine Corps 

Reserve in an enlisted status and may be ordered to active duty, as provided by 

Title 10. U. S. Code Section 6965b, for not less than two years, except in those 

cases where the midshipman 1s physically disqualified, unfit, or unsuited for 

military service in an enlisted status. 

A midshipman entering the Naval Academy from the regular or reserve component of the Navy or Marine Corps, including midshipmen entering from the 

Naval Academy Preparatory School. will not have his. her enlistment or period 

of obligated service terminated because of the acceptance of a midshipman appointment If such a midshipman is separated from the Academy or has a resignation accepted prior to fulfilling the Agreement to Serve detailed in the preceding 

section the midshipman will resume enlisted status and shall complete the period 

of service for which enlisted or obligated, as provided by Title 10, U. S. Code, 

Section 516. In computing the unexpired part of an enlistment or period of 

obligated service, all service as a midshipman is counted as service under that 

enlistment or period of obligated service. However, completion or partial completion of service obligation acquired by prior enlistment in no way exempts a 

separated or resigned midshipman from being transferred to the reserve component and ordered to active duty, the same as a midshipman who enters the 

Academy directly from a civilian status, as provided by Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 6965b.

,, 

Enlisted men and women study at the school from August to May. About onethird are from the regular Navy and Marine Corps, with the remainder from the 

reserves. 

The Preparatory School offers college preparatory work in mathematics, 

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

abilities are able to undertake more advanced work. including courses at the college freshman level. Military training, physical training, and intramural and varsity sports programs complete the school's program 

Nominees in a regular or reserve Navy or Marine Corps status who are not successful in obtaining an appointment to the Naval Academy are considered 

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

No special request for this consideration is necessary. 

Additionally each year, the Naval Academy selects a number of the most promising and highly motivated of those civilian nominees who were not successful 

in gaining an appointment to the Naval Academy. Those selected are offered the 

opportunity to enlist in the Naval Reserve for the express purpose of attending 

the Preparatory School. Consideration for admission to the Preparatory School 

is automatic. No special request is required. Details concerning this program are 

available from the Director of Candidate Guidance, U S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. 21402.

Q. Wl,at service selectio11s are available to women? 

A. Recently amended Federal law allows women to go to 

sea in ships which do not normally perform a combat mission 

(such as repair ships, research vessels, salvage vessels, etc.). 

Women aviators may also, for the first time, perform noncombatant flight duties involving the landing of aircraft 

aboard ships at sea. However, due to the limited number of 

non-combat related sea billets available, only a limited 

number of women officers will be able to select these warfare 

billets. Currently, the majority of women officer graduates 

will develop other specialties and pursue careers ashore in one 

of many areas including administration, communications, 

computer science, engineering, environmental science, legal, 

or research and development, to name just a few. It should be 

emphasized that all physically qualified women will be commissioned in the line upon graduation from the Naval 

Academy. Although most physically qualified women will be 

commissioned in the line upon graduation, women also have 

the opportunity to be commissioned in such restricted line or 

staff communities as the Supply Corps, the Civil Engineering 

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

men, opportunities available to women at graduation are subject to current needs of the Navy. All U.S. Marine Corps occupational specialties are available to women officers except 

infantry, artillery, tanks, and combat flying. 

Q. I don I know my Congressman. How do I get a 

110111i11atio11? 

A. It is 110/ necessary to know him personally. Apply to the 

representatiave of your Congressional district and to both of 

your U. S. senators by mail; your applications will be considered carefully. (See Precandidate Questionnaire, pg 60.) 

Each member of Congress may have five of his appointees attending the Academy at any one time. And each member may 

nominate up to ten candidates for each vacancy. The essential 

thing to remember is that, by law, you must have a nomination to be considered for appointment. Once you are 

nominated, you officially become a candidate and your 

record can then be evaluated by the Naval Academy on its 

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

vacancy, tf you have one of his nominations and have a good 
school record and otherwise meet the basic entry standards, 

you will have an excellent chance to become a midshipman. 

Each year several hundred of the best qualified alternate Congressional nominees are appointed to the Naval Academy by 

the Secretary of the Navy to bring the entering class up to 

authorized strength 

Q. Im in tire Naval Reserve Can I get into the Academy? 

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

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

enter the Academy each year through the reserves. See your 

commanding officer for details. 

Q. If I am eligible for a Presidential nomi11ation sho11ld I 

also apply for a Congressional nomination? 

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

chance you will have for selection if you are found fully 

qualified. 

Q. ls it difficult to enter directly from h,gh school? 

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

from high school. 

Q. My grades were abo11t average but I played III several 

sports and was st11dent body president. Also, I l1ad to work 

after school Will these actru1t1es help me7 

A. Yes. Evidence of leadership ability and participation 

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

Q. ls physical preparation important? 

A . It certainly 1s! Aside from helping candidates to do well 

on the physical aptitude test, men and women alike should be 

as physically fit at entrance as possible since the first summer 

is very demanding. Endurance and upper-body strength are 

particularly important. Cross-country runs, swimming, pushups and chin-ups, and (particularly for women) the flexedarm hang are valuable conditioning exercises. Be III shape1 Or 

be sorry.

electives such as electrical engineering? 

A. From 23 to 38 percent (depending on the major selected) 

of the Academy's curnculum is devoted to professional 

military studies, but at the Academy you will complete at 

least 140 rather than the 120 semester hours typical of most 

civilian colleges. There are many academic majors offered, 

from English to mathematics to physics to electrical engineering. Advanced research projects are offered in these and 

many other areas. 

Q. What part of the medical exam111at1on gives the most 

difficulty to candidates? 

A. The eye examination. Visual acuity of 20:20 is required. 

However, a limited number of outstanding candiates may be 

granted waivers for visual acuity if the refractive error is not 

excessive and their vision is correctable to 20 '20. If within 

waiverable limits, and otherwise fully qualified for admission, you will be considered @lomatically based on your 

overall record, for a waiver by the Academy's Admissions 

Board. Since only a limited number of nominees may be 

granted a medical waiver, the competition for the available 

waivers is keen. It should be noted that all nominees within 

waiverable limits (and otherwise fully qualified). including 

principal nominees of members of Congress, must compete 

for these waivers. 

Q. I don I like sports. Do I have to try out for a11yt/1111g? 

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

may not be the best school for you. A midshipman is required 

to participate in athletics, either varsity or intramural, for the 

development of character. physical fitness, and competitive 

spirit. 

Q . How much does it cost to be a midshipman? 

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

are provided. In addition, midshipmen currently receive a 

monthly salary of 5375.60 for uniforms, books. and personal 

needs. Salary and the value of the daily ration allowance 

(S2.92 day) accrue to a midshipman's pay account while on 

leave. A 5500.00 deposit is required on entry. 
Q . How ofte11 may I ,>isit 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 ma11y flunk out? 

A. About ten percent of each entenng class eventually 

leaves the Naval Academy because of academic failure. 

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

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

your courses. The great majority of midshipmen get their first 

choice of a maior. Occasionally, however, in order to better 

meet the future needs of the Navy, midshipmen must accept 

their second choice The Navy requires at least 80 percent of 

our midshipmen to pursue engineering or science-oriented 

majors-a quota which we have had no trouble meeting 

voluntarily in recent years. 

Q. How much social life would I have at the Academy' 

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

initial (plebe) year, a growing range of social activities 

becomes available In addition to weekend dances and other 

extracurricular activities at the Academy, there are opportunities for afternoon liberties in town and for a number of 

weekends away from the Academy. 

Q. I am a high school freshma11 When should I start 

preparing myself for the Academy? 

A. Now! Your entire four-year high school record in academics and your record in athletics and other extracurricular 

activities for your last three years will be evaluated by the 

Naval Academy. 

Q . I am in college ls it too late to e11ter the Academy7 

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

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

work will permit study of advanced courses at the Academy. 

Normally, about six to eight percent of the members of an 

entering class have been enrolled in a civilian college.

class, am I eligible to apply agai11 7 

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

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

year, a number of the most promising of our unsuccessful 

candidates are invited by the Academy to enlist in the Naval 

Reserve for the express purpose of attending the Naval 

Academy Prep School. Here, they become eligible to compete 

for entry into the Academy under a Secretary of the Navy 

nomination. 

Q. Whe11 should I apply for a 11omi11atio11' 

A. Apply to the representative from your Congressional 
district and lo both your U. S. senators for a nomination, 

whenever possible, in the spring of your junior year in high 

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

senior year, this is nol advised since most members of Congress will have selected their nominees by this time. 

Q. What is my military obligation 011 graduation? 

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

on active duty as a commissioned officer in the Navy or 

Marine Corps. 

Q. Can I become a Navy physician or dentist? 

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

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

present entering classes. If your primary interest is to become 

a Navy doctor or dentist, it is recommended that you attend a 

civilian college offering premedical studies. 

Q. Does tl1e Naval Academy have a pre-law major? 

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

better plan to attend a civilian college offering pre-law studies 

if your primary interest is to become a Navy lawyer. Naval 

Academy graduates may apply for the Navy's law education 

program after two years of commissioned service. This is a 

very limited program, however, with only 25 officers selected 

from the entire Navy and Marine Corps each year. Officers 

not selected are required to continue their careers as line 

officers. 

Q. My father was in tl1e armed forces. Will this help me to 

get a nomination? 

A. Sons and daughters of career members of the regular 

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

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

considered for nomination under the Presidential category. 

Q. What if a midshipman is found to be smoking marijuana 

or to be using other unauthorized drugs? 

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

you are found to be in possession of or using drugs, including 

"The Naval Academy is 

the only place in the 

world where they take 

away all of your Godgiven rights at entry and 

give ti1em back to you, 

one at a time, over the 

next four years as 

privileges."

marijuana-here or anywhere else-during your four years as 

midshipman, out you go. 

Q. Where do midshipmen live? 

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

Bancroft Hall, having more than 4.8 miles of comdors and 33 

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

rooms have been remodeled in recent years. The Midshipmen's 

Wardroom is also located in Bancroft Hall. Here all 4,400 midshipmen are able to sit down and eat at one time. The food is 

served family style. The Hall contains a store, medical and 

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

other facilities. 

Q. I have nominations to both the Naval and the Air Force 

Academies. Must I undergo two medical examinations? 

A. No A single Qual,fying Medical Examination conducted at any of the military examing centers designated by 

the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review 

Board is acceptable for all service academies. 

Q. What reasons are given most frequently by plebes who 

resign from the Academy? 

A. Resigning plebes most frequently say: 

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

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

their obligation to their parents and can safely resign. 

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

They knew that the academic program was demanding, but 

they failed to realize the extent of the daily demands made on 

their time by the military and professional aspects of the 

training at Annapolis. Some. apparently, were expecting 

more of a relaxed, college-type NROTC program than the 

regimen of a service academy. 

Q. As a male graduate what are my career choices 011 

grad11atio11' 

A. During the first semester of the senior year. midshipmen 

found medically qualified for commissioning as line officers 
choose from the following service selections on graduation: 

(]) the surface warfare community, (2) the submarine service, 

(3) naval aviation, or (4) the U S. Marine Corps (either 

ground or pilot 1aviation officer training). Additionally, up to 

five highly qualified graduates may be selected for the Navy 

Engineering Duty officer specialty. Those not medically 

qualified for line duties are commissioned in the staff corps or 

the restricted line. (Women See Assignments for Women Officers, page 51, and Q & A, pp. 74 ) 

Q. How do I apply and wlrat are 111y clra11ces of gel/mg into

CHAPTER VI 

The Curriculum Challenge 

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

the professional education and training at Annapolis will give them 

the knowledge and skills that they will need to perform their 

future military duties effectively. The development of professional officers has 

been central to the objectives of the Naval Academy since its founding over 130 

years ago. It is today. But today's Naval Academy offers considerably more. The 

Naval Academy is primarily an academic institution, offering in-depth studies in 

engineering, science, and the humanities. The curriculum is demanding, and its 

many choices are designed to challenge each midshipman's 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 thoroughly educated at 

the baccalaureate level and well trained in basic professional subjects. 

Each midshipman must satisfy certain minimum course requirements in 

mathematics and science and in the social sciences and the humanities. Midshipmen must also complete a major sequence from a variety of fields designed to 

provide them with the academic background necessary for effective leadership in 

today's Navy or Marine Corps. Consistent with the Navy's technical orientation 

is the Academy's minimum requirement that 80 percent of the midshipmen major 

in one of the engineering, math or science-oriented disciplines. The remaining 

midshipmen may major in the humanities or social sciences. 

The Navy has an ever-increasing need for officers educated in the engineering 

disciplines and thus offers extensive opportunities to its officers for graduate 

work and career specialties or subspecialt1es in engineering programs. Seven 

engineering majors offered by the Naval Academy lead to designated degrees 

which are accredited by the Engineers· Council for Professional Development 

(ECPD).

Choosing a Major 

A midshipmen·s choice of 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, international studies, and English do require foreign language study, yet these programs also include four semesters of 

mathematics, one year of chemistry, and a year of physics. 

Some plebes are sure of their study preferences and their academic aptitudes 

when they first arrive at the Academy However, midshipmen are not normally 

ready to make a firm selection of their major at the beginning of plebe year. They 

may have a general idea of the area of interest. without being sure of which major they should take. They may not yet know whether their talents lie in a 

technical or nontechnical field. And, during plebe year, they may very well 

discover that their real interests and abihlles do not fit the requirements of the 

major fields they first considered 

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

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

meaningful academic experience in fundamental courses which test ability and 

help to evaluate strengths and weaknesses. Approval by the Academic Dean of 

each midshipman·s choice of a major will depend upon the needs of the navy and 

the educational background of the midshipman. 

The Common Plebe Year 

During the first year at the Naval Academy, each m1dsh1pman is placed in a program of study at a level suited to ability and academic background These courses 

are broad enough in scope to provide a sound basis for the selection of a major 

during the latter part of the year. At the same time they contain an element of 

commonality which enables the midshipman to progress into any of the majors 

offered. They include the naval science courses which start professional development The normal academic load for a plebe consists of six courses each semester 

as follows:

Engi neering (second semester). These courses provide midshipmen with knowledge and skills for practical shipboard use during youngster cruise, the most 

important event of third-class summer. They also serve as preparation For the 

professional courses and training which come during the next three years. 

H istory. The plebe history program is a two-semester sequence. Western 

civilization since 1715 is surveyed during the first semester, focusing upon topical 

areas such as geography, social, political, and cultural developments as well as 

the evolution of military institutions and policies. During the second semester, 

America's naval heritage is explored and students examine the antecedents, 

origins, and development of the United States Navy within the framework of 

America's growth as a continental and, eventually, global power. 

M athematics. A full year of calculus provides the requisite mathematical foundation for further study in the various majors. Midshipmen are placed in a sequence appropriale to their background and ability.

Writing, Rhetoric, and Literature. These courses are designed to develop 

primary tools for further education and professional development. Includes intensive practice in a variety of writing techniques, critical thinking, and reading. 

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

are placed in course sequences of varying difficulty depending upon their ability 

and background. 

Computer Science. Each midshipman receives a one-semester introduction to 

the use of the computer during plebe year. Computers are becoming increasingly 

important in virtually every aspect of the modern navy, and midshipmen are expected to use them as tools in a number of their Naval Academy courses. 

Leadership. An introductory course to instill in midshipmen a professional 

sense of purpose and personal honor, those military leadership traits and techniques which will insure credibility in the communication of their ideas and commands, and an appreciation for individual and organizational factors which influence their performance as leaders. 

Advanced Placement 

Prior to entering the Naval Academy, many midshipmen take courses equivalent 

to those offered or required here We consider one or more of the following in 

determining whether to grant credit for this work. validation examinations given 

by the appropriate academic departments, transcripts, and results of College Entrance Examination Board Achievement Tests and Advanced Placement Tests. if 

available Validators of any of the plebe courses may be enrolled in more 

advanced courses during plebe year, if they desire, or they may elect to carry a 

lighter academic load. Over half of the members of plebe class validate at least 

one course 

Counseling and Guidance 

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

selecting specific courses and planning their semester schedules. They may thus 

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

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

out for normal progress in a given major program. If ready for advanced placement in some subjects, or able to handle more than the standard number of 

courses, the midshipman may complete the requirements more rapidly and gain 

time for more elective courses. Some m1dsh1pmen may even complete second 

majors. 
Although decisions regarding their academic program must be their own, midshipmen have ample opportunities for consultation with faculty members. During the first few weeks at the Naval Academy, they receive about 20 hours of 

group and individual counseling on all aspects of the curriculum. They also take a 

number of achievement tests to help determine the levels at which studies should 

begin. 

Temporary academic advisers are assigned to the fourth class midshipmen until 

a major is chosen, normally in the spring of plebe year. Following selection of a 

ma1or, a faculty member from the department in which the student has expressed 

a particular interest will be assigned as the m1dsh1pman's permanent faculty adviser to help define study ob1ect1ves and offer guidance toward a logical selection 

of courses. In addition, the faculty adviser concerns himself with the midshipmans over-all academic progress and any academic problems encountered from 

plebe year through graduation. 

Nuclear Propulsion Training Program 

Midshipmen have the opportunity to apply in their senior year for training in 

nuclear propulsion following graduation. Candidates selected undertake six 

months study at the Nuclear Power School, Orlando Fla followed by six 

months training at one of three nuclear reactor prototype sites in Idaho, New 

York or Connecticut Because of the need_s of the service, selectees may include a 

few midshipmen who did not have nuclear propulsion training as their first 

choice of duties. Completion of the years training leads to assignment in a 

nuclear powered surface ship or submarine, the choice being the individual's. 

Midshipmen who aspire to duty in one of these exciting ships can acquire a strong 

foundation by majoring in engineering, science, or mathematics. Judicious choice 

of elective courses in the scientific technical area and energetic application to the 

entire academic program improve the humanities major's chances for -selection 

into the program 

Professional Course Requirements 

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

addition to providing the professional background required of officers during 

their first few years in the Fleet or the Marine Corps, these courses contribute to 

more effective summer training with the Fleet as midshipmen. Because the professional courses required subsequent to plebe year vary slightly, depending on the 

majors program being followed these requirements are specified with descriptions of the various ma1ors beginning on page 95.

Distribution Requirements 

To assure a broad general education and to provide a sound background for further study in selected majors, midshipmen must satisfy certain distribution requirements in the humanities, soCial sciences, mathematics, science, and a 

modern language. These requirements are specified for each major (chapter 7). 

Academic Organization 

The ma1or academic areas under the direction of the Academic Dean are organized into four divisions-the Divisions of Engineering and Weapons. Mathematics 

and Science, U. S. and International Studies, and English and History-each 

headed by a Navy captain or Marine colonel. The divisions are further subdivided into academic departments, 15 in all, which serve as focal points for the administration of the majors program and for the continuing review and development of the curriculum The departments are chaired by civilian or military 

members of the faculty. 

A fifth ma1or academic area. the Division of Professional Development, is 

under the cognizance of the Commandant of Midshipmen. 

The Nimitz Library 

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

comprehensive library service in support of the curriculum research and recreallonal reading. A representative book collection is maintained in pertinent 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 

The library contains some 500,000 volumes and accommodates between 1 400 

and 1,500 readers, utilizing a seating combination of study tables, study carrels 

and lounge furniture. lncluded in the building are seminar, faculty and groupstudy rooms, typing and calculating rooms, audio and video carrels, and a computer terminal room. 

The Naval Academy Archives, the Division of U S. and International Studies, 

the Educational Resources Center, and the Naval Academy Photographic 

Laboratory are also located within the library building. 

Academic Computing Facilities 

The Naval Academy has one of the most modern and extensive time-shared computer systems to be found at any college or university in America Here similar 
to a library, the comput!:r is recognized as an essential educational resource for 

broad usage by midshipmen. Over three hundred remote computer terminals are 

loc.:ited throughout the Academy in areas convenient to midshipmen and facult}·. 

They .:ire accessible from 8 a.m. until midnight seven days a weel... A wide variety 

of u,eful computer languages is offered such as BASIC. PL I, FORTRA:\ 

ALGOL. APL, and many others. Courses in virtually every academic department 

rdlcct the impact of the computer An extensive public library of computer programs 1s available for instant use. 

In recognition of thi, many effective ways in which computers are employed 

throughout the Academy, the Naval Academy was designated "An Exemplary Institution in Academic Computing in a recently completed nationwide survey 

sponsored by the :--:ataonal Science Foundation. Only 21 of over 7,000 computer 

using institutions and agencies surveyed were chosen for this honor. 

The Educational Resources Center 

The Educational Resoum:s Ct:nter · ERC ·. located within the Nimitz Library 

building provides a broad range of services Functioning as the Ac<1demy s central audiovisual control point, ERC is responsible for procuremmt, administration, and maintenance of virtually all audiovisual hardware and software. It is 

rt'sponsiblt' for production and distribution of closed circuit TV programming 

over the Ac.1dl·my's 12-channd system There is a lcnding library of educational 

video tapes .1nd films. an audiovisual equipment loan pool. and a graphic arts 

studio. Vidro cassette programs arc available in an aud1ov1sual room as remedial 

and tutorial tools. ERC providt·s operational and maintenance assistance for the 

Ac.1dcmy·, l,inguage studies audio laboratory as well as administrative control of 

thl· majority of training devices as,igned to the Naval Academy 

Special Programs 

Trident Scholars. Linder the Trident Scholar program initiated in 19o3. a limited 

numb"r of (•xceptsonally capable midshipmen may carry out indepcndent 

rl'loearch and study during their senior yc.ir. Each scholar has a reduced tormal 

course load, since the n:scarch and thesis constitute the main part of the academic 

pro~ram for the year Scholars are assisted in their proiects by one or more faculty ad\'iscrs who are well acquainted with the held of study. 

The Po~tgraduate Preparato ry Study Program. Thl· purpose of the Academy s 

postgraduate prepar,ltory study program is to provide the fleet with better 

traincd officcrs. to prepare graduate, for advanced study, and to reduce the time 

rl'quired for attainment of an advanccd degree Under the program qualifscd f srst

class midshipmen are encouraged to undertake advanced courses, which in many 

cases are acceptable for graduate credit These courses are above and beyond 

those required for the baccalaureate degree at the Naval Academy. 

Grading 

The Naval Academy employs the letter grades, A,B,C.D, and F (A denoting excellence· F failing), which are in turn assigned a numerical Quality Point 

Equivalent (QPE) of 4 0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0 and 0.0 respectively. 

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

Point Rating (QPR). The QPR is computed by multiplying the QPE corresponding to the letter grade received in each course by the semester hours of credit for 

the course, then dividing the sum of these products by the total number of 

semester hours represented by all the courses taken. A semester QPR (SQPR) is 

computed only for courses taken during a given semester; a Cumulative QPR 

(CQPR) is based upon all academic marks assigned to date. 

An academic probation system provides warning for midshipmen who are not 

making satisfactory progress toward graduation. If a midshipman's cumulative 

QPR 1s below 2.0 at the completion of a semester he or she is placed on probation for the semester following any two consecutive semesters in which the 

semester QPR is below 2.0, even though the cumulative QPR remains above 2.0. 

It should be noted that grades received in military performance, conduct and 

physical education, and for certain professional training conducted during the 

summer, are not included in the computation of QPR. Satisfactory performance 

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

determining class standing. 

As required by law, the Academic Board examines the records of all 

academically deficient midshipmen for the purpose of deciding which of them 

should be retained. A midshipman is subject to academic discharge who has 

failed two or more courses, has a semester QPR below 1.5, has failed to remove 

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

major, has failed to fulfill a requirement previously assigned by the Academic 

Board, or has failed to fulfill all graduation requirements at the end of first class 

year. 

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

midshipmen The Superintendent's list honors midshipmen attaining a SQPR of 

at least 3:4, with no grade below C: with grades of A in military performance and 

m conduct; and with B or better in physical education. Called "star 

midshipmen " they proudly wear gold stars on the lapels of their uniforms. The 

Dean's List honors midshipmen with a minimum SQPR of 3.4 with no failure (F) 
in any academic course or other area , including protessional studies, aptitude, 

conduct, and physical education. 

Graduation Requirements 

To qualify for graduation a midshipman must· 

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

(2) Complete 140 credit hours, of whteh a minimum ol 18 credit hours. exclusive 

of the required English courses, will be in the humanities and social sciences; 

(3) Achieve a cumulative quality point rating CQPR of al least 2.00. a C

(-1) Meet required m1htary-profess1onal standards in professional studies and at 

sea training; 

(5) :-.!eel required standards of military performance, conduct honor, and 

phy,ical education 

(6) Accl·pt a commission in the U S. :-,,;avy or U. S. Marine Corps it proffered 

All midshipmen who graduate are awarded the Bachelor of Science degree by 

the Superintendent upon the recommendation ot the Commandant and the 

Academic Dean, as approved by the Academic Board. 

OJ 

Residence 

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

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

courses have the opportunity to do additional advanced work, pursue independent study and research, complete the requirements of two majors, or study other 

subjects for self-improvement or of general interest. 

Schedule of Instruction 

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

academic year consists of two semesters, each of approximately 16 weeks of instruction and one week of examinations. The normal academic routine provides 

for five and one-half days of classroom, laboratory, and study periods per week. 

Small classes, averaging 20 midshipmen, provide ample opportunity for active 

classroom participation by each midshipman and for individual attention. 

Academic Emphasis 

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

be summarized as follows: 

Seven designated Bachelor of Science degrees. 

Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Naval Architecture 

Bachelor of Science in Ocean Engineering

Department of Naval Systems Engineering 

Marine Engineering Major 

This ECPD accredited major ,s concerned with the analysis and design of energy systems. 

Students complet,ng this program can expect to continue their education ,n the Navy's 

,uclear Pmwr Program or ,n graduate school 

A broad bad.ground in engineering lundamentals is provided students. who then apply 

these principles in their studies of energy systems including convent,onal steam and nuclear 

power plants, gas turbines, and such advanced power systems a, fuel cells and thermoelectric unite. 

A course conring the princ1pll'S of naval engineering systems develop, an understanding 

ot the principles of ship de,ign and construcllon and introduces students lo the problems of 

analyzing and designing systems for use ,n 1he ocean environment. Studies ,n modern 

phys,cs prepare them for the reactor physJCs and reactor engineering courses. Studies in 

heat transfer so essential in the study ol modern energy systems-follow Knowledge 

gamed from these studies is then used in the analysis of marine propulsion plants and in 

group dcs,gns of future propulsion systems. 

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

water plane catamaran. preliminary design of a submanne wa,tt• disposal system. and the 

concept design of an offshore nuclear power plant A Bachelor of Science ,n i\lanne

Naval Architecture Major 

;s;aval architecture, an ECPD accredited ma,or unlike most engineering disciplines unified 

by the nature of the phenomena involved. originally came into being as a discipline 

because of a single end-product, the ship. A special combination of knowledge and expenence ,s needed to develop. design and build this single product Variety exists not only 

in the kinds of work (design, research, cost estimation, management, etc ), but also in the 

types of craft involved-from sail boats to aircraft carriers from hydrofoil boats to 

catamarans, from submarines to surface-effect vehicles. 

Naval architects use both art and engineering in designing ships. Armed with imagination and experience. they convert functional requirements into a suitable, cost-effective 

design. They analyze and select the best dimensions and hull term. they calculate the 

power requirements and estimate the weights of the principal components. They design 

and analyze the hull structure and decide on the location of military subsystems, 

machinery spaces, accommodations. and stores. Additionally. the ship must be divided in· 

lo watertight compartments so that. if damaged. the chances of survival are maximum. 

Weighing and compromising all such conflicting needs in the design of the ship are the 

creative and challenging responsibilities cl the naval architect 

Naval architecture al the Naval Academy treats most of the preceding facets through a 

fully integrated program of classroom sessions. hands-on laboratory work_ field trips. and 

the latest in computer-aided design and analysis techniques. A Bachelor of Science in Naval 

Architecture is awarded

Department of Chemistry 

Chemistry Major 

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

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

undergraduate level. Serious students of chemistry have ample opportunity to experiment 

and observe as they pursue the scientific method. Laboratory equipment includes singlepan balances, gas chromatographs, mass spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, and nuclear 

magnetic resonance spectrometers. 

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

fundamental principles of chemistry and modern experimental techniques is highly 

valuable for officers working in such technical subspecialties as oceanspace research, life 

sciences and support systems, propellants, and many others. 

The Chemistry major is accredited by the American Chemical Society. An undesignated 

Bachelor of Science degree is awarded.

The ma1or program m Physics: (1) presents fundamental physical concepts and principles 

in such a way as to empha~ize their general usefulness and (2) lays a strong foundation for 

further worl-. in .i broad range of technical fields. Some of the topics treated m the sequence 

of courses are the origm, propagation, and reception of waves of all kinds; field concepts; 

theory of relativity basic theory of quantum mechanics: and statistical mechanics. All are 

studied with the object of providing an open-minded and creative approach to the physical 

world-an approach increasingly important to those who will be leaders in our modem 

Navy A solid background in physics achieved at the Academy will facilitate subsequent 

specialization m any technical area An undesignated Bachelor of Science degree is 

awarded

CHAPTER VIII 

Professional Training Courses 

T he overall program at the Naval Academy is designed to provide midshipmen with a broad academic and professional foundation upon 

which they will be able lo build competence in any of the warfare 

specialities they may elect to follow at graduation: surface warfare, aviation, the 

submarine service, or the Manne Corps. The development of a strong sense of 

commitment to the naval service and the fostering of high personal standards are 

ma1or aims of our program. 

Professional development of midshipmen is the overall responsiblity of the 

Commandant of Midshipmen. This development starts on the very first day of 

plebe summer and continues through graduation four years later It consists of 

protessionally oriented classroom studies (in all, 15 courses during the four years) 

and of drills and practical training conducted at the Academy during the 

academic year, as well as of professional training conducted during the summer 

at shore bases and at sea with units of the fleet. Included are instruction and training in navigation, seamanship and tactics, naval engineering, naval weapons, 

leadership, and military law. 

Each m1dsh1pman s professional development is monitored and graded 

throughout the years at Annapolis. These grades are considered along with 

grades achieved for academic studies in other (non-professional) areas of the curriculum in determining a midshipman s class standing at graduation. 

A summary of the Naval Academy s program for the professional development 

of midshipmen follows

Professional Competency Review (PCR). The PCR consists of a series of comprehensive 

examinations administered to m1dsh1pmen of each class during the spring semester. The 

PCR measures whether or not each midshipman 1s making satisfactory progress toward 

achieving the level of professional competence requ1Ted for graduation and commissioning. 

It provides an opportunity for midshipmen to annually evaluate their own professional 

strengths and weaknesses. The PCR also provides meaningful feedback on the effectiveness

CHAPTER IX 

Varsity and Intramural Athletics 

J ust as the Naval Academy has a responsibility for the professional and intellectual development of midshipmen, so. also, must it fulfill its responsibility 

for each midshipman's physical development. This responsibility is met 

through our intercollegiate sports program-with 21 men's and 7 women's varsity teams. one of the broadest in the nation-and an equally ambitious intramural 

program. All midshipmen are required to participate in these programs, either at 

the varsity or intramural level. 

The late John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a World War 11 naval officer who rose lo the 

highest office in the land, underscored the importance of athletics generally in his 

thoughts about football: "1 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 an extremely anxious that its 

implications not be lost upon us." When President Gerald Ford visited the Naval 

Academy in June, 1974 to present the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy to the victorious Navy football team, he was no less emphatic in affirming his deep personal belief in the benefits of athletic competition 

A third gentleman, President Jimmy Carter, Class of 1947, demonstrated his 

interest in athletics by participating in cross country as a midshipman. And, finally. Rear Admiral William P. Lawrence, current Superintendent of the Naval 

Academy and a three-sport varsity athlete as a member of the Academy's Class of 

1951, recently became the 23rd recipient of the National Football Foundation and 

Hall of Fames Gold Medal Award for "his significant contributions to college 

football and his inspirational leadership throughout his adult life which has embodied the highest ideals for which the game of football stands." Previous recipients of this prestigious award have included Presidents Kennedy and 

Eisenhower General Douglas McArthur, and Supreme Court Justice Byron 

White. 

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

the years. midshipmen have carved a reputation for excellence throughout the 

sports spectrum from football to fencing, sailing to squash, and golf to gymTlie Naval Academy

nasties. Two Navy football players-halfback Joe Bellino and quarterback Roger 

Staubach-won the Heisman Trophy, the college gridiron's most coveted individual prize, within a period of four years. In 1975, roverback Chet Moeller 

was on everyone's All-America, and in 1979, Navy won the inaugural Holiday 

Bowl in San Diego. During the 1978-79 season, 27 of our varsity athletes received 

All-America recognition. These ranged from first team selection to honorable 

mention and included selection to Academic All-America. 

Navy heavyweight crews captured the Olympic gold medal for eight-oared 

shells at Antwerp, Belgium in 1920, and in Helsinki, Finland in 1952. And a 

former Navy oarsman-Alan B. Shepard-was America's first man in space. In 

the mid-60's the Navy soccer team did not drop a regular season contest over a 

six-year, 48-game span. And from 1960-67, the Navy lacrosse team reeled off a 

record eight consecutive national championships. They won again in 1970, and 

were runners-up in 1975. In 1976, a Naval Academy graduate, Captain Lloyd 

Keaser, USMC. was an Olympic medalist in wrestling. Academy pistol teams 

have won national intercollegiate titles for the past four years. Finally, and certainly highly appropriate for the Naval Academy, our intercollegiate sailing team 

was adjudged tops in the nation for each of the past three years, an unprecedented feat in the sport. 

Football at the Naval Academy dates from 1879, just ten years after Rutgers 

and Princeton introduced the sport at New Brunswick. The midshipmen have 

participated in the Sugar, Cotton, Orange, and Holiday Bowls, and nothing better symbolizes the Naval Academy athletic program than the Army-Navy football game, a sports event in the same galaxy as the World Series, the Kentucky 

Derby, and the Rose Bowl. Navy was ranked 17th in the nation in 1978. 

There is enough of a variety in Navy's intercollegiate lineup to satisfy virtually 

everyone's athletic tastes. In the fall, there is football, cross country, women's 

volleyball, soccer, 150-pound football, and sailing. Winter is the most active time 

of year with men's and womens basketball, men's and women's fencing, gymnastics, pistol, rifle, squash, men's and women's swimming, track, and wrestling. 

The spring schedule includes baseball, heavyweight crew, lightweight crew, 

women's crew golf. lacrosse, sailing, women's softball, tennis, and track. In addition to women·s teams, women at the Academy are encouraged to try out for, 

and participate with male midshipmen in all Naval Academy sponsored intercollegiate sports except football, lacrosse, wrestling, and basketball. 

Army traditionally 1s Navy s top opponent and the service rivals clash in a 

total of 18 engagements during the athletic year. Annapolis teams also face the 

perennial collegiate strongboys in every sport-Notre Dame in football, Columbia and New York University in fencing, Lehigh in wrestling, Harvard and Pennsylvania in crew, and Maryland in basketball, to name a few. 


But perhaps even more a part of Annapolis life is the competition within the 

Brigade represented by the intramural sports program. Every midshipman, with 

the exception of varsity athletes, must take part. Here all can participate, each at 

a level appropriate to their individual athletic ability. Women may participate in 

all but the following company/battalion-level, contact intramural sports: football, lacrosse, boxing, rugby, and wrestling. Women-only sports are conducted 

on a regimental basis in gymnastics, badminton, softball, tennis, stickball, and 

fencing. Intramural sports at the Academy include: 

Badminton Football Softball Track 

Basketball Gymnastics Squash Volleyball 

Boxing Handball Stickball Water polo 

Crew Knockabout sailing Swimming Weightlifting 

Cross country Lacrosse Team handball Wrestling 

Fencing Rugby Tennis 

Field ball Soccer Touch football 

Excellent physical facilities support the program. Navy-Marine Corps 

Memorial Stadium, seating 28,000 fans between the goal lines, was dedicated in 

1959. Halsey Field House is surfaced throughout with Tartan and includes a 

220-yard indoor track. There are more than 70 acres of lighted playing fields, an 

indoor swimming pool, a 5,000-seat baseball park. a challenging 6,217-yard 

championship golf course, and an impressive array of tennis, squash, handball, 

and badminton courts. An AstroTurf field provides an all-weather practice area 

for football, lacrosse, and soccer, and an indoor skating rink provides for hockey 

and other skating activities. A new athletic center, Lejeune Hall, is under construction adjacent to the Field House. Scheduled for completion in 1981, it will include an Olympic-sized pool, diving facilities, a wrestling loft, and conditioning 

areas. 

Our athletic program is administered by the Naval Academy Athletic Association, a non-profit organization with headquarters in Annapolis. The Association 

arranges varsity schedules and provides coaching staffs and equipment.

CHAPTER X 

Extracurricular Activities 

L ife at the Academy offers midshipmen a wide-ranging choice of over 80 

different extracurricular activities (ECAs). Almost all are organized and 

sustained by the midshipmen themselves. From sky-diving to scuba diving; from the Brigade's FM radio station, WRNV, to its television station, 

WMID: from a six-member rock band to a 150-member chapel choir; from ice 

hockey to rugby football, midshipmen are involved in exciting and interesting 

pastimes. 

Extracurricular activities at the Naval Academy fall into one or more of several 

basic areas: professional, academic, athletic, musical, recreational, publications 

and printing, and Brigade-support. Midshipmen are encouraged to participate in 

as many activities as their interests and time allow. 

Although not a formally organized ECA, judged by the sheer number of enthusiastic participants, the Academy's most popular spare-time activity-professional and recreational- is offered through sailing. With one of the finest sailing 

fleets in the world, over 100 craft in all, midshipmen have the use of the 98-foot 

ketch Astral for coastal and overseas cruising, five large ocean racing yachts, 

twelve 44-foot Luders-designed yawls, twenty 24-foot knockabouts, ten converted Rainbow-class knockabouts, six 30-foot Shields sloops, thirty "420"-class 

dinghies, and 24 Lasers. 

Sailing activities include programs for the varsity sailing team and for offshore 

sail training. The sailing team combines competition with professional development by competing in numerous intercollegiate and other regattas. This competition ranges from single-handed Lasers to the ocean racers with a crew of 14. The 

Academy sponsors many of these regattas, including the McMillan Cup and the 

john F. Kennedy Memorial regattas in the yawls. There are dinghy regattas 

almost every weekend. For the past three years, the Naval Academy has won the 

Fowle Trophy, emblematic of over-all intercollegiate sailing supremacy in North 

America. 

The Offshore Sail Training Program combines recreation and profess.ional 

development by emphasizing good seamanship in cruising atmosphere. During 

the summer, the larger yachts (56-foot Alliance, 48-fool lnsurgente, 46-foot 

Patriot, and the 34-footers Liberty and Pursuit) and many of the 44-foot yawls 

"Sailing saves me some

are sailed in the open sea in such races as the Transatlantic, Newport-Bermuda, 

Marion-Bermuda, Annapolis-Newport, Marblehead-Halifax, and the ChicagoMackinac. Midshipmen command and navigate the yachts both in Chesapeake 

Bay races and in ocean races. 

One way or another, thousands of midshipmen engage in sailing during the 

year. Our encouragement of sailing at the Academy is no accident. Rather, it 

reflects our long-standing conviction that lessons learned under sail contribute 

directly to a midshipman's professional development-for the skills and 

knowledge of seamanship and the sea gained under sail are the same basic skills 

and knowledge which have been used by seamen for centuries. They are as relevant in bringing a ship safely home to port today as ever. Thus, by developing 

better seamen, the Academy's sailing program contributes to the development of 

better naval officers. 

Athletics are, and always will be, an important facet of Academy life. Aside 

from the many varsity and intramural sports, midshipmen may participate in activities of the Judo, Karate, and Gymnastics Clubs. Handball, bowling, and 

bicycling clubs are also available to interested midshipmen. Other team-oriented 

ECA's with a competitive flavor include the men's rugby, ice hockey, water polo, 

and volleyball clubs. These "club" teams compete against other college and 

private teams in the mid-Atlantic area and, although considered ECA's at the 

Academy, participants may earn athletic letters, similar to varsity athletes. 

The Scuba Club offers basic scuba diving courses taught by midshipmen instructors, all certified by the YMCA. Over 200 divers are trained each year in 

basic or advanced diving. Once qualified, midshipmen can enjoy club-sponsored 

trips during weekend liberties or leave periods to the Florida Keys, the Virgin 

Islands or Bermuda, and to the wartime wrecks off the nearby coasts of North 

Carolina and New Jersey. 

The Sport Parachute Club also has its own midshipmen instructors. All are certified by the United States Parachute Association. The club performs demonstration jumps at the Academy during half-time shows, Commissioning Week, and 

during Plebe Summer. Members are afforded an opportunity to qualify for 

military jump wings during summer leave at the Army's Special Warfare Training 

Center, Fort Benning, Georgia. 

The Sportsman Club includes hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, backpacking, 

cycling, and skeet shooting. Because of the variety of popular activities offered, 

membership is one of the largest at the Academy. 

A number of academic ECA's augment studies by sponsoring field trips, guest 

lecturers, conferences, and seminars. The History Club sponsors eminent 

speakers and arranges for movies of historical interest for general viewing by 

members of the Brigade. Members of the Forensic Society compete at district and 
~ 

---- national levels in nearly 40 intercollegiate debate tournaments each year. These 

include an Academy-sponsored debate tournament in the spring attended by 

many of the top teams in the country. 

This past spring, midshipmen and student delegates from over 130 colleges participated in the Naval Academy's 20th annual Foreign Affairs Conference 

(NAFAC). The topic of the four-day conference was "United States - Soviet 

Union Relations in the 1980's: Cooperation or Confrontation?" As in past years, 

speakers and moderators included senior officials of the U. S. State and Defense 

Departments and other prominent Americans knowledgeable on the international 

scene, as well as ambassadors and other senior embassy personnel from the 

Washington diplomatic community Former ambassador to Russia, Malcolm 

Toon, was the banquet speaker. 

Academic ECA's here include a number of nationally recognized clubs and 

societies. Among them are the American Institute of Aeronautics and 

Astronautics, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the American 

Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society of Nuclear Engineers, 

Sigma Pi Sigma (physics honor society), the Marine Technology Society, Pi 

Sigma Alpha (political science honor society), and Omicron Delta Epsilon 

(economics and management). Phi Kappa Phi recognizes superior scholarship in 

all the major fields of study at the Naval Academy. 

The Political Awareness Forum sponsors speakers, field trips, and other club 

activities. The International Club - with Chinese, French, German, Russian, and 

Spanish sections - sponsors formal banquets with distinguished foreign visitors 

speaking in their native language; field trips to foreign ships, diplomatic receptions, plays, films, and exhibits; and the Naval Academy's International Ball, attended by midshipmen and hundreds of young people from Washington's international community. 

ECA's providing support to the Brigade are wide-ranging and popular. A Glee 

Club and three choirs involve hundreds of midshipmen. The Drum and Bugle

Corps, a company-size unit, performs intricate marching routines while playing 

traditional martial pieces or specially adapted popular tunes. 

The Masqueraders attracts midshipmen interested in the threatre. Two plays 

are presented each year. Midshipmen roles include directing, acting, promotion, 

and back-stage support. Performances are attended by midshipmen and faculty 

and by citizens from the Annapolis area. 

The Trident Brass entertains with contemporary jazz, rock, swing, and stage 

band music at concerts and dances throughout the year. There are a number of 

small combos, including rock groups. And the Pep Band, offering a rousing combination of Dixieland, blues, and fight songs, is a feature at pep rallies and sporting events. 

The Brigade Activities Committee leads the Brigade in support of the 

Academy's intercollegiate sports program through pep rallies, smokers, skits, 

stunts, and other innovations devised by the committee. 

Members of the Brigade publish the Lucky Bag, the yearbook for each class; 

the Tride11t Cale11dar, a favorite Christmas gift embellished with photographs 

and cartoons; Tlte Log. a literary and professional magazine featuring campus 

humor; and Reef Pomts, the "Plebe's Bible," a pocket-size guide to Academy and 

Navy customs, lore, and traditions (also serves as a good dictionary for parents 

and friends trying to decipher midshipmen letters). 

In short, the broad range of extracurriculars offered at the Naval Academy offers something for everyone. For leisure-time entertainment. For professional 

enrichment. And, its safe to say, for just plain fun.

CHAPTER XI 

Administration, Staff, and Faculty 

The administration of the Naval Academy is in many respects analogous 

to that of a civilian college A Board of Visitors performs the broad 

supervisory funcltons of a board of trustees. The Superintendent. a flag 

officer of the Navy, 1s the equivalent of a college president, and acts as the executive head of the Academy. He is assisted by the Commandant of Midshipmen, 

a senior naval officer whose function is somewhat like that of a dean of students; 

a civilian Academic Dean and an administrative staff. The Superintendent, the 

Commandant, the Academic Dean, and other senior members of the faculty comprise the Academic Board, which makes major academic decisions and sets the 

academic standards for the Academy. Military professional, and physical training come under the Commandant The Academic Dean heads the academic program. Today's 600-man Naval Academy faculty 1s an intergrated group of officers and civilians in approximately equal numbers The officers. rotated at intervals of about three years, provide a continuing input of new ideas and experience from the Fleet The civilians provide a core of professional scholarship 

and teaching experience, as well as continuity to the educational program. 

The Board of Visitors 

Appointed annually the Board of Visitors to the Academy consists of the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U S. Senate. or his designee, 

three other members of the Senate designated by the Vice President of the United 

States or the President pro tempore of the Senate two of whom are members of 

the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate the chairman of the Committee 

on Armed Services of the U. S. House of Representatives, or his designee four 

other members of the House of Representatives. two of whom are members of the 

Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives, and six persons 

designated by the President of the United States. 

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

Academy to inquire into the state of morale and discipline, the curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs. academic methods, and related mat-

for admission, i.e., the date of reporting to the Naval Academy as designated in 

the Pem11t to Report issued by the Superintendent, U.S. Naval Academy. Living 

accommodations in the city of Annapolis are limited, and cadidates are therefore 

urged to lime their arrivals in Annapolis to coincide as closely as possible with the 

reporting time and dale, keeping in mind, however, that transportation facilities 

between Washington and Annapolis and between Baltimore and Annapolis are 

limited. 

Midshipmen who are involuntarily separated from the Naval Academy prior 

to repayment of the entrance credit, are required to turn in all articles of uniform 

and equipment deemed suitable for reissue, to an amount sufficient to liquidate 

their indebtedness. If reclaimed articles are insufficient to cover the indebtedness, 

parents will be given an opportunity to pay the remaining debt; failing this, the 

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

Every candidate must present a Social Security card upon reporting for appointment. lf an individual has not obtained a Social Security number as a result 

of work experience prior to entering, one should be obtained based on expected 

employment as a midshipman. 

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

outfit from the Midshipmen's Store. Mechanical drawing sets are included in the 

outfit. 

After being admitted to the Naval Academy, midshipmen receive travel and 

transportation allowances as prescribed in Joint Travel Regulations (ordinarily, 

mileage allowance of 10 cents per mile for authorized travel). Midshipmen will be 

reimbursed for the actual cost of their fares in commercial ships provided no 

government transportation was available. In those cases in which travel 

originates outside the United States, candidates must contact the nearest naval activity for information as to the availability of government transportation before 

endeavoring to procure commercial transportation. When government transportation 1s not available, a certified statement to this effect must be presented in 

order for the candidate to be reimbursed after becoming a midshipman. 

Candidates admitted as midshipmen are required to submit documentary 

evidence of birth to the Superintendent, U.S. Naval Academy. A certified copy 

of the public record of birth is the best evidence. Supporting evidence will be required if the name on the evidence of birth is not identical with the name of the 

candidate. Except for candidates entering the Academy as citizens of certain 

foreign countries, as provided by law, all candidates born outside the United 

States must show proof of U.S. citizenship in the form of a Department of State, 

consular, or other governmental report of birth. 

Each qualified candidate, before being admitted as a midshipman, must deposit 

with the Midshipmen's Store, U. S. Naval Academy, the sum of SSOO, to be used 

to cover, in part, the initial cost of uniforms, clothing, textbooks, etc. The 

deposit is not refundable. This deposit should be in the form of a personal check, 

cashier's check, certified check, traveler's check, etc., made payable to the Midshipmen's Store, U. S. Naval Academy. In hardship cases the deposit may be 

reduced to S100 by the Registrar.

Graduate Education Programs 

"Imagination is more important than knowledge " 

ALBERT EINSTEIN 

204 

The vast majority of Annapolis graduates go directly to sea or to the Fleet Marine 

Force, thus beginning their professional careers in an operational environment. A 

few, those with outstanding records as midshipmen, may compete for a limited 

number of graduate scholarships. Several of these scholarships require enrollment 

immediately upon graduation from the Academy. Most graduates, however, will 

first complete their initial operational tour of duty with the Fleet before they may 

expect the opportunity to be enrolled in a master's program, either at the Naval 

Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, or in programs offered at a number 

of participating civilian universities. Still others will have the opportunity to undertake graduate studies at a later time in their careers. 

JUNIOR LINE OFFICER ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC EDUCATIONAL 

(BURKE) PROGRAM 

The Burke Program is open to five qualified midshipmen in each graduating class 

for advanced study in the fields of science and engineering. A master's degree is 

attainable, and school attendance (usually at the Naval Postgraduate School) 

begins following a post-commissioning operational tour of two to four years. 

U.S. MARINE CORPS BURKE-EQUIVALENT PROGRAM 

Open to five qualified midshipmen each year who are entering the Marine Corps. 

Participation in the Burke-Equivalent Program allows those selected to be 

guaranteed being sent to graduate school approximately two years after commissioning. The field of study for each Burke-Equivalent Program selectee is chosen 

by the student from an extensive list of approved disciplines. 

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM 

Nationally known scholarships or fellowships are available to qualified graduates 

of the Naval Academy, much as they are for graduates of other colleges. 

Graduate studies may be pursued in various fields and in several countries while 

receiving pay as a commissioned officer m the Navy or Marine Corps. Among 

programs for which midshipmen have been selected in recent years are the 

tollowing:
