Maximize Your Options: 

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

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

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

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

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

fine education and a commission in either the Navy or the Manne Corps. 

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

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

prep,ue himself, through further education and training, for professional 

service assignments ashore. The Naval Academy meant maximizing hi5 choices 

as he went along with new and exciting options opening before him all 

the way. 

This opportunity can be yours if vou 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, you 

are not permitted by present law to serve in Na\'v ships other than hospital 

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

open to men are yours as well. 

Le,1dersh1p, scholarship, fellowship; this is the Naval Academy Is it for you?

Why the Naval Academy? 

Time Hasn't Changed Our Mission 

lf 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. ln 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 in making my plans for the years ahead? The paragraphs below are 

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

Service to Country 

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

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

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

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

officer in the Naval service. This commitment, if it is to come, develops in 

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

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

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

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

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

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

You should be prepared lo 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 the Navy, both in its 

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

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

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

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

study, ranging from engineering through oceanography, and 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 

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

warfare specialties. 

leadership Training 

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

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

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

program at Annapolis is to produce a self-confident leader who. accepts and 

is fully ready to carry out his responsibilities both to the nation he serves 

and to the men he commands. This is not an easy goal and no one should 

come to the Nava] Academy with the idea that the training program is a 

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

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

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

rise to command-professionnl officers who are physicalJy 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 

"A sclrolnr knows nothing 

of boredom." 

}EAN PAUL RtOiTIR 

12 

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 is a year of academic and professional 

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

better than you ever have before. The chaUenge 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. 

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

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

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

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

advantage. 

Travel and the Sea 

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

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

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

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

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

River or on the Bay. 

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

lived near and known it well all your life; perhaps you have never known 
much about it but it has always spelled adventure, travel, and excitement 

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

Annapolis without also thinking about the sea. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the Far East. 

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

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

heart of the Annapolis program 

Professionalism 

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

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

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

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

really says it all. 

It's up to you 

"Every min1tle of the rlny 

is filled wit/1 somet/1ing

one minute to relax.

II 

The Years 1845-1977 

I 

I 

Through the years 1845 to 1977, as the nation's responsibilities and need for 

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

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

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

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

professional leadership expected in the United States Navy. 

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

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

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

Commander Franklin Buchanan was the first Superintendent of the Naval 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

technical undergraduate program. 

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

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

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

"Wit/rout a Respectable 

Nnvy-nlns America!"

Academy. Michelson continued his brilliant scientific work after leaving the 

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

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

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

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

mathematics complex is named Michelson Hall. 

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

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

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

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

King, Nimitz, Halsey, Spruance, Burke, and Zumwalt and Marine Commandants Lejeune, Russell, Greene, and Cushman have earned their place in 

history. So, also, have astronauts Shepard, Schirra, Lovell, Carr, Stafford and 

Anders. Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, 1922 graduate of Annapolis for whom 

Rickover Hall, our newly completed engineering complex has been named, 

has personified the Navy's nuclear power program for a generation. And, 

highest honor of all, a 1946 graduate, President 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 midshipmen today. 

Following accreditation of the Naval Academy in 1930 by the Association 
of American Univcrst11es, 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.5. degree to all living graduates. The Middle States Association 

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

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

Academy-prepared entrance examma!tons. Since 1970, candidates have had 

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

An Academic Advisory Board of distinguished Americans, formed by the 

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

matters, first met at the Academy in 1966. 

On 8 October 1975 President Ford signed histonc legislation authorizing 

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

of the services." The Naval Academy admitted its first women midshipmen 

(81) on 6 July 1976 

Yard and Facilities 

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

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

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

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

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

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

or Baltimore, Maryland. 

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

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

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

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

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

began in 1899 with a Congressional appropriation of ten million dollars. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

renovation of Bancroft Hall was completed in 1965. 

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

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

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

finest traditions. 

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

plan is nearing completion. Among key structures in this plan are the 

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

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

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

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

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

computer-aided education, and educational television has been provided 

throughout the academic complex. All academic areas are air-conditioned. 

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

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

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

rink, a cafeteria, lounges, and game rooms. 

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

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

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

for recreation, are found in Bancroft Hall.

Life at Annapolis 

Mission 

The Naval Academy is charged with the responsibility of preparing midshipmen for service as commissioned officers in the U. S. Navy or Marine Corps. 1 

In fulfillment of this respons1b1lity, the staff and faculty must ensure not only 

that the academic program 1s of the highest quality but also that midshipmen 

are prepared mora.lly and physically for the rigors of commissioned service. 

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

of priorities. 

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

or varsity sports and other extracurricular activities. 

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

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

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

Organization 

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

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

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

loyalty; for providing military indoctrination and physical development; and 

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

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

carrying out these responsib1lities the Commandant 1s assisted by an imme-

"Most of tl1e111 (the 

profs) will tell yo11, 

'Anything until 11 

o'clock (nt night); if 

it's 1mportnnt call me.'

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

subordinate departments or groups of officers. The departments reporting to 

the Commandant include the Division of Professional Development, the 

Physical Education Department, the Midshipman Supply Department, the 

Brigade Chaplains, and the Brigade Officers. 

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

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

officers composed of Navy lieutenants and lieutenant commanders and Marine 

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

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

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

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

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

commissioned officers. 

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

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

Hall there is a company wardroom for informal meetings, reading, or relaxing 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

activity center in Dahlgren Hall provide attractive settings for dances and 

other recreational activities. 

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

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

organizational unit for numerous competitive activities during the year. 

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

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

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

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

in leadership and their other officer-like qualities.

Years of Development 

The incoming midshipmen are officially designated midshipmen fourth class, 

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

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

senior year, midshipmen first class. 

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

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

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

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

superv1s1on and careful guidance, Plebe indoctrination 1s administered by midshipmen of the first class, assisted by the second classmen, and closely supervised by the Commandant and the Brigade Officers. 

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

other phases of midshipmen training and education, the system directly 

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

a basic understanding of military relationships and the military environment. 

Its aim is to teach each plebe to: 

Exercise self-discipline, 

Organize his time and effort effectively, 

Perfonn efficiently under stress, 

Think and react quickly with good judgment, 

Exhibit an exemplary military bearing and appearance. 

Plebe year 1s designed to test and develop. It is a demanding period of testing, requiring midshipmen to stand on their own feet, to produce under 

pressure, to respond promptly and intelligently to orders and, 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 short day, civilians 

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

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

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



"Keep your sense

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

days soon seem far behind. 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic 

skills in seamanship, navigation, and signaling. fnfantry 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, and talent shows. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

paced by a demanding daily schedule ...

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

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

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

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

the Hudson, the cadets of West Point. 

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

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

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

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

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

the second semester. Majors are selected in early March. Five days of leave 

break the academic routine over the Easter weekend. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

boats, and exercise at general shipboard drills. 

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

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

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

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

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

a welcome and deserved change! 

Following the completion of academic studies of their third class year a.nd 

the end of their second June Week, the third classmen become second classmen. 

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

professional studies at the Naval Academy and receive familiarization training 

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

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

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

new second classman attends a familiarization course at the Navy's Surface 

Warfare Officers' School and visits modern destroyers. Flight indoctrination in 

naval training and operational aircraft at Pensacola, Florida, provides a knowledge of the duties of an officer choosing a career in naval aviation. Introduction to the techniques of vertical envelopment and amphibious assault, provided by the Marine Corps at one 0£ their major training facilities, completes 

the summer's professional training. 

Following summer leave, still greater military responsibilities become theirs 

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

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

Midshipmen officers are selected and trained to direct the Brigade during 

periodic absences of the first class. An important role in the indoctrination of 

the new fourth class is undertaken by the second class. In addition to contributing to the development of the fourth classmen, this responsibility makes 

a vital contribution to the second classmen's growth as leaders. There is little 

time for watching the calendar. And, before long, another June Week has 

come and gone, and first class year is underway. 

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

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

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

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

part in the training and indoctrination of the new plebe class at 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 with the Fleet. Visits are made to such places as Hawaii, 

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

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

Denmark, and Norway in Northern Europe. 

At summer's end, first classmen return to the Academy to continue their 
academic studies -their principal responsibility throughout the four years at 

Annapolis -and to undertake their important new responsibilities for directing 

the Brigade of Midshipmen. Midshipmen officers, called stripers, lead the 

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

for the conduct, milit.1ry 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 ac,1dem1c yc,u 

increases the individual opportunity for this valuable leadership experience. 

The third, or June Weck set of stripers, is selected by the Commandant from 

among the most capable midshipmen in the first two 

In carrying out these demanding responsibilities, the first class midshipmen find themselves calling upon all the leadership skills they have developed 

during their first three years. Following this final year of practical experience, they find themselves well prepared at graduation to assume their leadership responsibilities m the Navy or the Marine Corps as newly commissioned 

officers. 

The Honor Concept 

A vital part of the professional development of a midshipman 1s a total commitment to high standards of honor, duty and responsibility. Unflinching 

honesty and forthrightness are essential elements of this commitment. The 

Brigade of Midshipmen lives under an Honor Concept which contributes to 

this development by providing the precepts which aid a midshipman in 

developing the highest standards of honor and personal integrity. By outlining generalized prinoples to live by, the Honor Concept seeks to instill in 

the midshipmen standards of integrity which will motivate them to make 

dcnsions consistent with the highest ideals of honor in every situation they 

encounter The Honor Concept is more than an administrative device for 

dealing with certain conduct violations. It is an operational reality within the 

Brigade Each class has its elected Honor Committee representatives who 

.ue responsible for instructions, indoctrination and admm1stration of the 

Concept. 

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 

l·arecr'G..

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 depends significantly on 

a midshipman's professional training performance. 

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

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

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

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

making up the professional training program begins on page 133. 

leave and Privileges 

The amount of 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 Christmas leave, a period of 15-20 days; 

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

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

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 June Week. 

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

evenings, and on Sunday afternoons. In addition, second classmen have liberty 
on Wednesday afternoons and first classmen have liberty weekday afternoons and on 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 Washington and Baltimore. Field trips throughout the academic year 

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

midshipmen and their guests. 

Physical Education 

[n supporting the mission of the Naval Academy, the program of the Physical 

Education Department makes a vital contribution to the physical development 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Women participate in the same physical fitness and physical education 

program as the men except that some adiustments are made in the content 

of the program for women (no contact sports such as boxing, wrestling, etc.) 

and the standards to be met by women because of physiological differences.

46 

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. 1n addition, midshipmen develop their 

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

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

run and on the obstacle course. 

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

and its program, refer to chapter 8. 

Medical and Dental Care 

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

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

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

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

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

Bethesda, Maryland. 

Legal Assistance 

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

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

Building. 

Financial Advice 

Midshipmen are provided financial advice on matters relating to 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. 
Religious Activities 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

serve in the armed forces. 

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

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

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

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

Attendance at religious services is optional. Midshipmen are encouraged to 

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

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

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

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

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

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

each midshipman to take full advantage of opportunities for worship and 

moral development. 

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

Protestant or Catholic chapel services which periodically feature nationally 

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

and inspiration that comes from friendship with God.

The Naval Profession 

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

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

from the tropics to the poles and into space, whose supersonic planes provided the training ground for America's first astronauts, whose nuclear submarines and surface ships are a testimony to America's engineering genius, 

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

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

vastly complicated and technological Navy, the human being is, in the end, 

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

with vision, dedication, and ability. It is a Navy with a proud past and a 

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

spectrum of interesting fields. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Assignments for Women Officers 

Much of the informatton contamed in this chapter is applicable to men only 

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

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

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

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

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

to duty m an operational, non-combat flying status, and possibly aboard

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

their assignments to be ashore. 

First Duty 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

aircraft carrier, cruiser, destroyer, or amphibious warship. Other graduates 

may volunteer and be selected for nuclear power training, with ultimate assignment to submarines or surface combatant ships of the Fleet. 

Prospective aviators may elect to go directly to flight school or they may 

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

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. 

One out of every six Annapolis graduates may volunteer for appointment 

in the Marine Corps as a second lieutenant. For those who choose this career 

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

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

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

control, data processing, engineers or supply. 

Officers not physically qualified for operational assignments are assigned to 

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

Officer Career Patterns 

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

own career patterns to a significant degree through their requests for assignments afloat and ashore, advanced studies, and, of course, bv 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 
sea duty assignments that will prepare them for command of a surface ship, 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

communications. 

Repeated assignments within specialized fields and graduate studies provide 

line officers with subspecialties which generally are exercised ashore. These 

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

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

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

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

duty, the Marine Corps officer will be eligible for assignment to a Marine 

barracks in the United States or overseas, to attend graduate school, or to 

serve on a high level staff in Washington, D. C., among many other assignments. As Marine Corps officers advance in rank and experience they will 

find themselves assuming greater responsibilities at larger and more complex 

commands. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

United States.

Officer Education and Training 

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

momentarily, but their theoretical and practical 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, 

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

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

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

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

for higher responsibilities. This move toward graduate education begins 

before graduation for those midshipmen selected for scholarships in civilian 

universities or for Navy-sponsored graduate programs. 

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

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

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

schools in damage control, communications, electronics maintenance, and 

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

finest technical engineering curriculum available in its field anywhere in the 

world 

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

some qualified Naval Academy graduates may expect orders to graduate study 

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

an officer's career. Military war colleges, in particular, are noted for their high 

quality education in the fields of management, economics and international 

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

who aspire to positions of high responsibility must, of necessity, continue to 

grow intellectually and thus be students during all of their professional lives. 

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

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

an unprecedented number of career opportunities for Navy and Marine 
"A collision at sea cnn ruin yo11r entire dny." THucvD1DEs 

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

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

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

the concept of an educated officer. This commitment has been made and reaffirmed at every level of leadership in the Department of the Navy. 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. 55 

V 

Admissions 

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

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

union and from backgrounds reAecting 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 

1980 included 154 (12 percent of the class) from racial minorities. 

Certain general eligibility requirements for candidates do exist. Candidates 

must be at least 17 years of age, and must not have passed their 22nd birthday by 1 July in the year of admission. They must be unmarried and have no 

children and, except for limited quotas of foreign midshipmen specifically 

authorized by Congress, must be citizens of the United States. 

Meeting these requirements, prospective candidates must then proceed to 

obtain a nomination; qualify 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, 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 q11ality of the work is important. About three 

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

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

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

does not have rigid requirements concerning the subjects which must be

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

following subjects in their high school or prep school curriculum: 

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

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

A small percentage of each plebe class will have had at least one semester 

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

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

Precandidate Questionnaire 

Applicants should submit a Precandidate Questionnaire to the Naval Academy 

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

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

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

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

nomination. Precandidate Questionnaires should be requested from the Director of Candidate Guidance, U. 5. 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 in a career of 

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

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

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

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

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

Academy or its admission procedures should write to the coordinator nearest 

them or to:

Tests 

Either the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Scholastic Aptitude 

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

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

not later than February of the year of admission to Annapolis. Candidates 

interested in advanced placement (validation) are encouraged to take the appropriate College Board Achievement test(s). Since achievement tests are not 

considered in determining scholastic qualification for admission, they may be 

taken as late as May.

U. S. Civil Service Commission. Although these special competitive examinations may be used as a tool to assist in the nomination process, they do not 

determine a candidate's scholastic qualifications for admission to the Academy. The Naval Academy requirements for the SAT or ACT tests must stiU 

be met. 

Obtaining a Nomination 

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

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

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

evaluate candidates during the summer months and some nominate in early 

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

include their representative, both senators, and, for the especially wellqualified, the Vice President. The following is a listing of all nomination 

sources: 

U. S. Senators, Representatives, the Delegate to the Congress &om the District of Columbia, and the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico. Each may 

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

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

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

sample letter of application. 

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

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

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

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

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

1331 of Title 10, USC-retirement at age 60 for combined active and inactive service of at least 20 years). Application should be made by 15 December to the Superintendent, U. S. Naval Academy (Attn: Candidate Guidance Office), Annapolis, Maryland 21402. See appendix A for a sample letter 

of application. 

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

President may have five midshipmen attending the Academy at any one time. 
He nominates ten for each vacancy. Application should be made by 1 Novem- ." 

ber to the Office of the Vice President, Washington, D. C. 20501. , 

Delegates in Congress from Guam and the Virgin Islands. Residents should 

apply to the appropriate official. 

Governors of Puerto Rico, the Canal Zone, and American Samoa. Residents 

should apply to the appropriate official. 

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

July of the year of admission. Eighty-five appointments are authorized each 

year. Application should be made to the applicant's commanding officer. 

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

a member of a dnlling unit, and have served in the reserve for one year prior l 

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

Application should be made to the applicant's commanding officer. 

Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps (NROTC & NJROTC/MCJROTC). 

There are ten appointments each year. Application should be made to the 

applicant's professor of naval science or senior naval science/military instructor. 

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

compete for ten appointments. 

"Discipline is the soul 

Children of Deceased or Disabled Veterans and Children of Prisoners of War 

or Servicemen Missing in Action. Children of armed forces members who 

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

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

wounds, injuries, or disease; and children of servicemen who are currently 

prisoners of war or missing in action, are eligible. In addition, the children 

of civilians who are currently in a POW or MlA status are also eligible. A 

maximum of 65 appointees may be at the Academy at any one time. Applicants should write to the Superintendent, U.S. Naval Academy (Attn: Candidate Guidance Office), Annapolis, Maryland 21402. 

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

Superintendent, U. 5. Naval Academy (Attn: Candidate Guidance Office),

Congressional Nominating Procedures 

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

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

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

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

simply nominate a slate of ten competitors to be evaluated and ranked by 

the Nava] Academy for the vacancy. In all cases, the vacancy is filled by the 

top person on the list who is accepted for admission by the Academy. But 

this does not mean that the others are no longer considered. In fact, if particularly well qualified, it is possible that they all may be accepted for admission as qualified alternates or competitors. 

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 some 80 women in the Class of 

1981. The number of women who may be appointed from each of the existing sources of nomination listed on pages 60 and 61 of this catalog, will be 

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

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

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

limit if qualified. 

Women who hold principal Congressional nominations will be admitted, if 

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

Congressional-type sources of appointment exceeds the number apportioned 

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

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

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

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

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

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

called the qualified alternates and competitors list. 

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

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

compete with men up to the authorized number of appointments. 
Admission of Qualified Alternates and Competitors 

Each year the Naval Academy admits several hundred qualified alternates and 

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

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

his vacancy, are still considered on a competitive basis for Annapolis, if qualified. No special application is necessary, as n/1 qualified candidates will be 

considered automatically by the Academy's Admissions Board. 

Readmission of Former Midshipmen 

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

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

required for readmission of former midshipmen. Requests should be addressed 

to the Dean of Admissions. 

Medical Examination 

Applicants must pass a very thorough medical examination designed to ensure 

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

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

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

difficulty in passing the examination. Candidates should carefully review the 

detailed medical standards contained in appendix B. Candidates having less 

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

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

contact lenses must comply with special examination procedures. 

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

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

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

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

available throughout the nation and the current shortage of military phys1C1ans. 

For some candid,1tes, this means that they will not be scheduled for a 

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

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

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

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

will take immediate action to schedule their medical examination. 

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 (men and women) 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 (for military personnel) by any active duty officer. 

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

test, candidates are strongly advised to ensure that they are physically fit at 

the time 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. 

Notification of Qualification and Selection for Appointment 

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

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

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

will, in all probability, not be selected. On 26 May 1978 all candidates wlzo 

/111ve bee11 offerer/ an nppoi11t111ent to the Naval Academy with the Class of 

1982 will have the opportunity to visit the Academy for a full day of orientation briefings and tours. The new class is admitted in early July. 

Pay and Expenses 

The pay of midshipmen is $345.00 per month, commencing on the date of 

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

at the Naval Academv On graduation day, the average midshipman will have 

accrued savings of approximatelv 51,800.00 in addition to a complete wardrobe of officer uniforms. 

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

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

be reduced to 5100, in which c.1se monev 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 

52,000. The deposit made at the time of entrance is supplemented by an entrance credit of S600 upon first admission to the Naval Academy. The 5600 

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

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

the indebtedness is accomplished bv monthlv deductions of 540 from the 

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

and continuing until the indebtedness is liquidated 

Service Obligation 

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

previously acquired a military obligation, will automaticallv do so upon 

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

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

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

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

years on active duh· as commissioned officers. 

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

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

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

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

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

as midshipmen terminated and will immediately resume their enlisted status. 

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

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

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

obligated service. 

Agreement Signed by Entering Midshipmen 

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

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

if a minor, that they will fulfill these obligations: 

They will complete the Academy course of instruction (unless disenrolled 

from the Arademy by competent authority). 

They will accept appointments and serve as commissioned officers on active 

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

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

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

the sixth anniversary. 

Resignations and Separations 

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

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

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

Second and first classmen After the commencement of the second class 

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

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

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

provisions of Title 10, U. 5. Code 69596. Where separation occurs as a result 

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

be waived by the government. 

1\lidshipmen who are separated after h,iving entered the Naval Academy 

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

former status under the appropriate statutory provisions. Completion or 
partial completion of a prior service obligation by separated midshipmen does 

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

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

Refusal to accept commission: Any first classman who completes the 

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

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

status and ordered to active duty for four years. 

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

terminal dates are established for their commissions. 

Pre-Annapolis Scholarship Assistance 

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

h.igh school graduates to enhance their qualifications for admission to the 

Naval Academy The Foundation is chartered for educational purposes under 

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

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

fully supported by the Superintendent of the Naval Academy. 

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

scholarships annually to young men and women seeking admission to the 

Naval Academy to prepare for a career in the Navy or Marine Corps. Cash 
"The only wny to 

compel mnn to speak

VOLTAIRE 

68 

grants for these scholarships are made to participating junior colleges and 

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

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

counseling to individual applicants in obtaining nominations. 

Application should be made to the Executive Director, U. 5. Naval Academy 

Foundation, Inc., 48 Maryland Avenue, Annapolis, Maryland 21401. Applications should be received by 1 April each year, although a limited number 

of later applications can be considered. 

Naval Academy Preparatory School 

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

Island, has prepared servicemen for entry into the Naval Academy for over 

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

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

half from the Naval Reserve. 

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. 

Applicants presently in a regular or reserve military status should apply 

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

including academic transcripts, the recommendations of their commanding 

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

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

promising and highly motivated of those civilian nominees who liave previously indicnted to tire Academy tlint tlrey were 111/erested in attending the 

Preparatory School in the event they were not successful in being selected 

for admission to the Naval Academy. Those selected are offered the opportunity to enlist in the Naval Reserve for the express purpose of attending 

the Preparatory School. Details concerning this program, including how to 

apply, are available from the Director of Candidate Guidance, U.S. Naval 

Academy, Annapolis, Md. 21402. 
Questions and Answers 

Over the years it has been our experience that a great 

many misconceptions exist concerning admission procedures, methods of obtaining nominations, qualification 

and selection for admission, and other basic information 

about the Naval Academy. The following questions are 

among those most often asked by prospective candidates. 

The answers may help you to clear up any doubts or misunderstandings you may have. 

Q. Wlio can become a midshipman? 

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

moral character, without regard to race, creed or national 

origin. Candidates must be citizens of the United States, 

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

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

year of admission. 

Q. What 11111st I do to become a midshipman? 

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

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

secondary school record, including college-preparatory 

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

and physical standards. Be selected for an appointment. 

Q. Where may I get detailed admissions information? 

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

guidance counselors, from your local Navy recruiter, from 

the West Coast Regional Candidate Guidance Office, NAS 

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

or visiting the Candidate Guidance Office, Leahy Hall, 

U. S Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland 21402. 

Q. What seroice selections are available to women? 

A. At present, Title 10, U. S. Code, Section 6015 states: 

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

engaged in combat missions nor may they be assigned to 

duty on vessels of the navy other than hospital ships or

transports." This constraint means that, at present, women 

midshipmen could expect assignment to administrative 

shore billets in the Navy or Marine Corps, and that no more 

than a few could expect to be selected for the limited number of non-combat aviation billets available upon graduation. It should be emphasized that all physically qualified 

women will be commissioned in the line upon graduation 

from the Naval Academy. Thus, there will be no options for 

women to be commissioned in the Supply Corps, Civi.l Engineering Corps, etc., unless they are not physically qualified 

for a line commission. 

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

nomination? 

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

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

senators by mail; your applications will be considered carefully. (See Precandidate Questionnaire, pg 54.) Each member of Congress may have five of his appointees attending the Academy at any one time. And each member may 

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

nomination to be considered for appointment. Once you 

are nominated, you officially become a candidate and your 

record is then evaluated by the Naval Academy on its 

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

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

good school record and otherwise meet the basic entry 

standards, you will have an excellent chance to become a 

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

Naval Academy by the Secretary of the Navy to bring the 

entering class up to authorized strength. 

Q. I'm in the Nm,a/ Reserve. Can l 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 11111 eligible for n Presidentinl 110111i11ntion, should 

I nlso npply for n Co11gressionnl 110111i11ntio11? 

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

chance you will have for selection if you are found fully 

qualified. 

Q. Is it difficult to e11ter directly from high school? 

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

from high school or prep school. 

Q. My grades were nbo11f nverage, but I plnyed in several sports and was student body president. Also, I had to 

work after school. Will these nctivities help me? 

A. Yes. Evidence of leadership ability and participation 

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

Q. ls physicnl prepnrnfion imporlnnt? 

A. It certainly is. Aside from helping them 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, 

push-ups and chin-ups, and (particularly for women) the 

flexed-arm hang are valuable conditioning exercises. Be in 

shape 1 Or be sorry. 

Q. I l1ave a high IQ and am a straight-A student. Will 

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

take any electives, such as electrical engineering? 

A. From 23 to 38 percent (depending on the major selected) of the Academy's curriculum is devoted to professional military studies, but at the Academy you will com-

"011r colleges 011ght

plete 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 electrical engineering. Advanced research projects are offered in these and 

many other areas. 

Q. What part of the medical examination gives the most 

difficulty to candidates? 

A. The eye examination. Visual acuity of 20/20 is required. However, a limited number of outstanding candidates may be granted waivers for visual acuity 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 a11to111at,cally, based on you r 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. rt should be noted 

that all nominees within waiverable limits (and otherwise 

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

Q. l don't like sports. Do l have to fry 011I for anything? 

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

'llay not be the best school for you. A midshipman is re-

.:iuired 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 receive a monthly 

salary of $345.00 for uniforms, books, and personal needs. 

Salary and the value of the daily ration allowance (52.92/ 

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

A 5300.00 deposit is required on entry. 
Q. How often may I visit home? 

A. During Christmas and spring leaves. In addition, 

month-long summer leaves are granted to the three upper 

classes. You must pay for your own travel. 

Q. How many f/11nk out? 

A. About 10 percent of each entering class eventually 

leaves the Naval Academy because of academic failure. 

Q. Do I get to fly? 

A. All midshipmen receive flight indoctrination in naval 

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

Q. Do I get to choose any of my co11rses? 

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

your courses. The great majority of midshipmen get their 

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

better meet the future needs of the Navy, midshipmen 

must accept their second choice. The Navy expects that at 

least 80 percent of our midshipmen will pursue engineering 

or science-oriented majors. 

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, there is a wide range of social activities available. There are weekend dances and other 

extra-curricular activities al the Academy, and there are 

opportunities for afternoon liberties in town and for a 

number of weekends away from the Academy. 

Q. I nm a high school freshman. 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. Is it too late to enter the Academy? 

A. No. As Jong as you will not have passed you r 22nd 

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

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

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

Q. If l failed to be selected for an appointment for one 

class, am I eligible to apply again? 

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

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

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

unsuccessful candidates (who have previously indicated to 

the Naval Academy that they are interested in attending 

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

the Naval Reserve for the express purpose of attending the 

Nava! Academy Prep School. Here, they become eligible 

for a Secretary of the Navy nomination. 

Q. When should l apply for a nomination? 

A. Apply to your Congressional representative and 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 not advised 

since most members of Congress will have selected their 

nominees by this time. 

Q. What is my military obligation on graduation? 

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

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

Marine Corps. 
Q. Cari I become a Navy p/iysician or dentist? 

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

officers who have completed two years of active duty and 

have been admitted to an approved medical school There was 

a limited program for pre-medical training at the Naval 

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

entering classes. If your primary interest is to become a 

Navy doctor or dentist, it is recommended that you attend 

a civilian college offering premedical studies. 

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

A. The Academy has no pre-law program. 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 the armed forces. Will this help me 

to get a nommation? 

A. Sons and daughters of career members of the regular 

and reserve forces who are on active duty or retired may 

be considered for a nomination under the Presidential 

category. 

Q. What degrees are offered at the Academy? 

A. The Naval Academy offers seven designated B.5. degress in engineering and one undesignated B.S. degree 

offering a number of majors in the fields of science, humanities, and the social sciences. 

Q. Where do midshipmen live? 

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

more than 4.8 miles of corridors and 33 acres of floor 

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

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

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

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

numerous other facilities. 

Q. I have nominations to both tire Naval and the Arr 

Force Academies. M11st 1 undergo two medical examinations? 

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

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

Q. 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 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 Hme 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 II male graduate, what are my career choices on 

grad1111tion? 

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

be able lo choose one of the following service selections 

on graduation: (1) the surface warfare community, (2) the 

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

Marine Corps (either ground or pilot aviation officer 

training). The only exception to choosing one of these four 

selections would be in the event you were found not medi-
cally qualified for commissioning as a line officer, in which 

case you would be commissioned in the staff corps or the 

restricted line. 

Q. How do I apply a11d wlint are my clin11ces of ietti11g

A. You should write to the Director of Candidate Guidance at the time you become a candidate and request CO'lsideration For the Preparatory School in the event you are 

unsuccessful in gaining an appointment to the Naval Academy There are also ways (see current Service directives) 

for servicemen and women, Regular and Reserve, to apply 

for direct entry into the Prep School Competition for the 

Preparatory School is quite intense (less competitive for 

candidates applying for admission from the Fleet).

The Curriculum Challenge 

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

professional education and training at Annapolis will give them the knowledge 

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

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

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

today's Naval Academy offers considerably more. 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 in terms of his own academic aptitudes and interests. 

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

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

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

every graduating class a group of individual line officers-all 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 of having 80 percent of 

the midshipmen major in one of the engineering, math or science disciplines. 

The remaining midshipmen may major in one of the humanities or social 

sciences. 

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

Seven engineering majors offered by the Naval Academy lead to designated 

degrees which are accredited by the Engineering Council for Professional 

Development. 

Choosing a Major 

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

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

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

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

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

studies, and English do require foreign language study, yet these programs 

also include four semesters of mathematics, one year of chemistry, and a 

year of physics. 

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

normally not ready to make a firm major selection at the beginning of plebe 

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

sure of which major they should take. They may not yet know whether thei1 

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

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

requirements of the major fields first considered. 

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

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

meaningful academic experience in fundamental courses which test ability and 

help to evaluate strengths and weaknesses. 

The Common Plebe Year 

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

program of study, but at a level suited to individual abilities 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:

Fundamentals of Naval Science (first semester) and Introduction to Naval Engineering (second semester). These courses provide midshipmen with knowledge and skills for practical shipboard use during youngster cruise, the most 

important event of third-class summer. They also serve as preparation for 

the professional courses and training which come during the next three years. 

History. The plebe history program is a two-semester sequence. Western 

civilization since 1715 is surveyed during the first semester, focusing upon 

topical areas such as geography, social, political, and cultural developments as 

well as the evolution of military institutions and policies. During the second 

semester, America's naval heritage is explored and students examine the antecedents, origins, and development of the United States Navy within the framework of America's growth as a continental and, eventually, global power. 

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

sequence appropriate to their backgrounds and ability. 

Rhetoric and Literature. This is a general requirement designed to develop 

"I'd advise nnybody to

82 

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

education and for professional development. 

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

are placed in course sequences of varying difficulty depending upon their 

ability and background. 

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

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

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

Leadership. An introductory course lo 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 inAuence 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 

examinahons grven by the appropriate academic departments, transcripts, and 

results of College Entrance Examinatron Board Achievement Tests and 

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

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

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

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

Counseling and Guidance 

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

for selecting specific courses and planning their semester schedules. They may 

thus set, within certain limits, the pace of studies lo match their capabilities. 

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

are laid out for normal progress in a grven ma1or program. If ready for advanced placement in some subjects, or able to handle more than the standard 

number of courses, the midshipman may complete the requirements more 

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

complete second majors. 

Although decisions regarding their academic program must be their own, 
the midshipmen have ample opportunities for consultation with faculty members. During the first few weeks at the Naval Academy, they receive about 

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

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

at which studies should begin. 

Temporary academic advisers are assigned to the fourth class midshipmen 

until a major is chosen, normally in the spring of plebe year. Following 

selection of a major, a faculty member from the department in which the 

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

guidance toward a logical selection of courses. In addition, the faculty adviser 

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

academic problems encountered from plebe year through graduation. 

Nuclear Propulsion Training Program 

Midshipmen have the opportunity to apply in the fall of their senior year for 

training in nuclear propulsion following graduation. Candidates selected 

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

by six months training at one of three nuclear reactor prototype sites in 

Idaho, New York, or Connecticut. Completion of the year's training leads 

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. Each 

midshipman selected for nuclear propulsion training, regardless of the major, 

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

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

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

the following chapter). 

Professional Course Requirements 

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

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

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

midshipmen. Because the professional courses required subsequent to plebe 

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

requirements are specified with descriptions of the various majors beginning 

on page 91. 

Distribution Requirements 

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

further study in selected majors, midshipmen must satisfy certain distribution 

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

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

various majors. 

Academic Organization 

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

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 sub- 1 

divided into departments, 15 in all, which serve as focal points for the 

administration of the ma1ors 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 major academic area, the Division of Professional 

under the cognizance of the Commandant of Midshipmen. 

"Success is tlie cliild of 

Development, is midncity." 

The Nimitz Library 

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

members with comprehensive library service in support of the curriculum, 

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

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

Washington and Baltimore areas are available to midshipmen and faculty 

members. 

The library has a capacity of approximately 650,000 volumes and accommodates between 1,400 and 1,500 readers, utilizing a seating combination of 

study tables, study carrels, and lounge furniture. Included in the building 

are seminar, faculty and group study rooms, typing and calculating rooms, 

audio and video carrels, and a computer terminal room. 

The Naval Academy Archives, the Division of U. S. and International 

Studies, the Educational Resources Center, and the Naval Academy Photographic Laboratory are also housed within the library building.

Academic Computing Facilities 

The Naval Academy has one of the most modern and extensive time-shared 

computer systems to be found at any college or university in America. Here 

similar to a library, the computer is recognized as an essential educational resource for broad usage by midshipmen Over two hundred remote computer 

terminals have been located throughout the Academy in areas convenient to 

midshipmen and faculty. They are accessible from 8 a. m. until midnight 

seven days a week. A wide variety of useful computer languages are offered 

such as BASIC, FORTRAN, ALGOL, APL, and many others. Courses in 

virtually every academic department have felt the impact of the computer. An 

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

The Educational Resources Center 

The Educational Resources Center at the Naval Academy covers a broad range 

of services. It is responsible for production and distribution of closed circuit 

TV programming over the Academy's 12-channel system. Also under its jurisdiction is a lending library of educational films, an audio-visual equipment 

loan pool, and a graphic arts section. An audio-visual room, located in Nimitz 

Library, is maintained with videocassette programs for use by midshipmen as 

a remedial and tutorial tool. In addition, ERC maintains the Academy's combat information center (CIC) and planetarium. 

Special Programs 

Trident Scholars. Under the Trident Scholar program, initiated in 1963, a 

limited number of exceptionally capable midshipmen may carry out independent research and study during their senior year. Each scholar has a 

reduced formal course load, since the research and thesis constitute the main 

part of the academic program for the year. Scholars are assisted in their 

projects by one or more faculty advisers who are well acquainted with the 

field of study. 

The Postgraduate Preparatory Study Program. The purpose of the Academy's 

postgraduate preparatory study program is to provide the fleet with better 

trained officers, to prepare graduates for advanced study, and to reduce the 

time required for attainment of an advanced degree. Under the program, qualified first class midshipmen will be encouraged to undertake advanced courses, 

which in many cases will be 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 Rahng (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

88 

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

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

also placed on probation for the semester following any two consecutive 

semesters in which the semester QPR is below 2.0, even though the cumulative QPR remains above 2.0. 

It should be noted that grades received in military performance, conduct, 

and physical education, and for certain professional training conducted during 

the summer, are not included in the computation of QPR. Satisfactory performance is required, however, and these grades are assigned very significant 

weight in determining class standing. 

As required by law, the Academic Board examines the records of all academically deficient midshipmen for the purpose of deciding which of them 

should be retained. A midshipman is subject to academic discharge who has 

failed two or more courses, has a Semester QPR below 1.5, has failed to 

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

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

the Academic Board, or has failed lo 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 al least 3.4 with no grade below C, and with grades of A in miHtary 

performance and in conduct and 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 

professional studies, aptitude, conduct, and physical education. 

Graduation Requirements 

To qualify for graduation a midshipman must: 

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

(2) Complete 140 credit hours and satisfy distribution requirements; 

(3) Achieve a cumulative quality point ratio (CQPR) of al least 2.00, a "C" 

average; 

(4) Meet required military-professional standards in professional studies and 

at-sea training; 

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

physical education; 

(6) Accept a commission in the U.S. Navy or U. 5. Marine Corps if proferred. 
All midshipmen who graduate are awarded the Bachelor of Science degree by 

the Superintendent upon the recommendation of the Commandant and the 

Academic Dean, as approved by the Academic Board. 

Residence 

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

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

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

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

Schedule of Instruction 

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

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

instruction and one week of examinations. The normal academic routine provides for five-and-one-half days of classroom, laboratory, and study periods 

per week. Small classes, averaging 20 midshipmen, provide ample opportunity 

for active classroom participation by each midshipman and for individual 

attention to students on the part of the instructor. 

Academic Emphasis 

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

best be summarized as follow: 

Seven designated Bachelor of Science Degrees. 

Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Naval Architecture

Marine Engineering Major 

This ECPD accredited major is concerned with the analysis and design of propulsion 

power plant systems. lt is nuclear engineering oriented. Students completing this program 

can expect to continue their education in the Navy's Nuclear Power Program or in nuclear 

or marine engineering graduate studies. 

A broad background in engineering fundamentals is provided students, who then apply 

these principles in their studies of conventional steam and nuclear power plants, gas 

turbines, and such advanced power systems as fuel cells and thermoelectric units. 

A course covering the principles of naval engineering systems develops an understanding of the principles of ship design and construction and introduces students to the 

problems of analyzing and designing systems for use in the ocean environment. Studies 

in modern physics prepare them for the reactor physics and reactor engineering courses. 

Studies in heat transfer-so essential in the study of modern propulsion power systemsfollow. Knowledge gained from these studies is then used in the analysis of marine pro• 

pulsion plants and in group designs of future propulsion systems. 

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

low water plane catamaran, preliminary design of a submarine waste disposal system, 

and the concept design of an offshore nuclear power plant. A Bachelor of Science in 

f\,tarine Engineering is awarded.

Naval Architecture Major 

Naval architecture, an ECPD accredited ma1or, unlike most engineering disciplines unified 

by the nature of the phenomena involved, originally came into being as a discipline because of a single end-product, the ship. A special combination of knowledge and experience 1s 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 

catdmarans, from submarines to air cushion vehicles. 

"I came here becn11se I 

am serious about the 

b11si11ess of learning." 

99 
"In no other profession 

are tire penalties for employing 1111/rainerl personnel so nppnlling or so 

irrevocnhle ns in tl1e 

militnry." 

GENERAL DouGL.AS MACARTHUR 

100 

Naval architects use both art and science in designing ships. Armed with imagination and experience, they convert the owner's functional requfrements into a suitable cost• 

effective design. They analyze and select the best dimensions and hull form; they calculate 

the power requirements and estimate the weights of the principal components. The)' design 

and analyze the hull structure and decide on the location of military subsystems, 

machinery spaces, accommodations, and stores. Additionally, the ship must be divided 

into watertight compartments so that, if damaged, the chances of survival are maximum. 

Weighing and compromising all such conflicting needs in the design of the ship are the 

creative and challenging responsibilities of the naval architect. 

Naval architecture at the Naval Academy treats most of the preceding facets through a 

fully integrated program of classroom sessions, hands-on laboratory work. field trips, and 

the latest in computer-aided design and analysis techniques. A Bachelor of Science in 

Naval Architecture is awarded.

Ocean Engineering Major 

Ocean Engineering, an ECPD accredited major, is the key to the last frontier on earth-the 

deep ocean. This is an interdisciplinary field involving the application of engineering principles to hardware systems in the ocean environment. The curriculum stresses fundamentals of mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering# and 

oceanography, followed by the application of these fundamentals in ocean engineering 

courses which include analysis of ocean materials, power systems, acoustics. wave 

mechanics# life-support systems. and a wide variety of ocean vehicles and structures. 

Laboratory experiments are conducted in an 85-foot towing tank equipped with a 

pneumatic wave-maker and instrumented with sophisticated sensors and on-line data 

acquisition and analysis equipment. The Naval Academy's computer systems are used in 

solving design problems. Sediment laboratory and environmental chamber facilities are 

also available. Midshipmen have designed and are building an undersea habitat which 

will be used as a field laboratory. A Bachelor of Science in Ocean Engineering is a1varded.

Chemistry Major 

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

Naval Academy. The laboratory facilities of Michelson Hall are uncxcelled al the undergraduate level. Serious students of chemistry have ample opportunity lo experiment and 

observe as they pursue the scientific method. Laboratory equipment includes single· 

pan balances, gas chromatographs, mass spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, and nuclear 

magnetic resonance spectrometers. 

Any naval officer will profit from a good knowledge of chemistry. A background in the 

fundamental principles of chemistry and modem experimental techniques is highly 

valuable for naval officers working in many technical subspecialties, such as oceanspace 

research, life sciences and support systems, propellants, and many others. 

The chemistry major is approved by the American Chemical Society. An undesignated 

Bachelor of Science degree is awarded.

The major program ,n Physics· (1) presents fundamental physical concepts and principles 

in such a wa>• as to emphasize their general usefulness and (2) lays a strong foundation 

for further work in a broad range of technical fields. Some of the topics treated in the 

sequence of courses are the origin, propagation, and reception of waves of all kinds; field 

concepts, theory of relativity, basic theory of quantum mechanics, and statistical me• 

chanics. All are studied with the object of providing an open-minded and creative approach 

to the physical world an approach increasingly important to those who will be leaders in 

our modern Navy. A solid background in physics achieved at the Academy will facilitate 

subsequent specialization in any technical area. An undcsignated Bachelor of Science 

degree is awarded.

English Major 

The major program in English offers study of some of the most significant and influential writings of civilization from ancient times to the present, as well as the opportunity 

for independent study and for creative writing projects. A special feature of the program 

is that the literature of virtually all major countries and cultures is considered, in contrast 

to traditional offerings which are normally restricted to British and American literature. 

An undesignated Bachelor of Science degree is awarded.

Professional Training Courses 

The overall program at the Naval Academy is designed to provide midshipmen with a broad academic and professional foundation upon which they 

will be able to build competence in any of the warfare specialties they may 

elect to follow at graduation: surface warfare, aviation, the submarine service, or the Marine Corps. The development of a strong sense of commitment 

to the naval service and the fostering of high personal standards are major 

aims of our program. 

Professional development of midshipmen is the overall responsibility of 

the Commandant of Midshipmen. This development starts on the very first 

day of plebe summer and continues through graduation four years later. It 

consists of professionally oriented classroom studies (in all, 16 courses during the four years) and of drills and practical training conducted at the 

Academy during the academic year, as well as of professional training conducted during the summer at shore bases and at sea with units of the fleet. 

Included are instruction and training in navigation, seamanship and tactics, 

naval engineering, naval weapons, leadership, and military law. 

Each midshipman's professional development is monitored and graded 

throughout the years at Annapolis These grades are considered along with 

grades achieved for academic studies in other (non-professional) areas of the 

curriwlum in determining a midshipman's class standing at graduation. 

A summary of the Naval Academy's program for the professional development of midshipmen follows:

fencing in place of boxing.) 

Infantry Drill. Approximately 13 hours of infantry drill during both the fall and spring, 

four hours of which are devoted lo Brigade dress parades. 

Naval Science. Four professional academic courses are taken during "youngster year 

The first of hvo navigation courses presents an introduction to the art and science of terrestrial and modern electronic navigation. Topics include chart reading, piloting (position 

plotting), and principles of basic weather phenomena. A naval engineering course offers 

studies in ship construction and system acquisition, material strength., and ship stability. 

The second of three leadership courses emphasizes psychology and considers the application of human behavior theory lo effective leadership. The second naval science course 

provides instruction in the art and science of shiphandling, radar piloting. and tactics 

Second Class Summer 

Avia tion, Submarine, Surface Line, and Marine Corps Orientation. Broad professional 

trainmg m aviation, ~ubmarines, surface line, and the ~-farine Corps at bases a,,•ay from 

the Naval Academy- In addition, during second class summer, each midshipman completes 

four weeks of professional academic training at the Naval Academy which includes afloat 

operations and tactics on yard patrol craft (YP's) and public communications. 

Second Class Year 

P£301 & 302 Physical Education. Advanced instruction in tennis, swimmmg the principles of personal conditioning, officiating, and the principles of hand-to-hand combat 

Electives in handball, squash and volleyball. Tests in applied strength, swimming mile 

run. and on the obstacle course. 

Infantry Drill. Approximately 13 hours of infantry drill during both the fall and spring. 

four hours of which are devoted to Brigade dress parades. 

Naval Science. The majority of a midshipman's professional academic cour5es, six 

courses in aIL are taken during second class year. Navigation II is a continuation of the 

flrst navigation course with emphasis on celestial plotting, including celestial motion, 

development of various coordinate systems, solution of the navigation triangle, and rules 

of the nautical road. Naval \Veapons Systems is taken, a course which includes sensor, 

tracking, computational, fire control., and delivery systems. Naval Engineering ll concentrates on the principles of operation of fossile-fueled steam propulsion and ga~ turbine 

plants as well as the basic elements of thermodynamic~. Courses in naval electricity and 

in electronics are also t,1ken The last of three leadership courses taken at the Academv 

is designed to enhance each midshipman's knowledge and understanding of responsibility, 

accountability and authority, management techniques, problem solving application~ for 

organiz,1tions, and the processes of decision~making. 
First Class Summer 

At-Sea Training. During their last summer of at-sea training with the fleet, 11rst class 

midshipmen undertake the administrative responsibilities and stand the watches of junior 

officer<,,. They complete extensive practical work in navigation, taking celestial sightings 

and determining the ship's position. They are required to complete a cruise training journal, summarizing watches and ~,·ork in engineering, seamanship, navigation, weapons, 

oper.1hons, and in ba~ic Aeet tactics. 

First Class Year 

PC40J & 402 Physical Cducation. Instruction in advanced swimming, personal conditioning. and athletic administration. Tests in applied strength, running (mile run), swimming, and on the obstacle course Electives in squash racquets, tennis, golf handball, 

volle\'ball. and personal defense. 

Infantry Drill. Approximately 13 hours of infantry drill during both the fall and spring, 

four hours of which are devoted to Brigade dress parades. 

Nav.1I Science. The final three of the 16 professional academic courses are taken during 

first class year. The second weapons course provides each midshipman \-·vith the principles 

employed in weapons ~ystems design, and exposes him to the complexities of modern 

day weapons system integration. A tactical ,varfare seminar, the capstone naval science 

course, provides the midshipmen ,vith a broad perspective of naval v,:arfare and tactical 

cons,derations. It also provides the opportunity for in-depth study of areas of special 

interest in naval ,,:arfare. A law course designed for junior officers, addresses procedural 

and substantive military law as well as international law and personal responsibilities. 

Junior Officer Readiness Review (JORR). The )ORR is a comprehensive examination 

given al the beginning of 11rst class year which covers all professional studies completed 

in the first three years at the Naval Academy. The examination determines whether or 

not each midshipman has attained a satisfactory level of professional competence prior 

to graduation and commissioning. It also provides an opportunity for midshipmen to 

ovalualo thoir own professional strengths and weaknesses. The )ORR provides the administration with meaningful feedback on the professional curriculum (seamanship, navigation, engineering .. leadership, weapons, and summer programs) and with a measure of 

how well the Naval Academy is achieving its goals.

Varsity and Intramural Athletics 

Just as the Naval Academy has a responsibility for the professional and 

intellectual development of midshipmen, so, also, must it fulfill its responsibility for their physical development. The late John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a 

World War II naval officer who rose to the highest office in the land, underscored the importance of athletics generally in his thoughts about football: 

" I sometimes wonder whether those of us who love football fu!Jy appreciate 

its great lesson: that dedication, discipline, and teamwork are necessary. We 

take it for granted that the players will spare no sacrifice to become alert, 

strong, and skilled, that they will give their best on the field. This is as it 

should be, and we must never expect less, but I am extremely anxious that its 

implications not be lost upon us." When President Gerald Ford visited the 

Naval Academy m June, 1974 to present the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy to 

the victorious Navy football team, he was no less emphatic m affirming his 

deep personal belief in the benefits of athletic competition. A third gentleman, 

President Jimmy Carter, lettered in two sports as a midshipman-track and 

cross country. 

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

Midshipmen have .:arved an outstanding reputation in 2.2. sports from football 

to fencing, sailing to squash, and golf to gymnastics. Two Navy football 

players halfback Joe Bellino and quarterback Roger Staubach won the 

Heisman Trophy, the college gridiron's most coveted individual prize, within 

a period of four years. In 1975, roverback Chet Moeller was on everyone's AllAmerica. And, in J076, middle guard Jeff Sapp received All-American mention. 

Navy heavyweight crews captured the Olympic gold medal for eight-oared 

shells at Antwerp, Belgium in 192.0, and in Helsinki, Finland in 1952.. And a 

former Navy oarsman Alan B. Shepard was America's first man in space. 

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

over a six-year, 48-game span. And from 1960-67, the Navy lacrosse team 

reeled off eight consecutive national championships, a feat unparalleled in 

"The Naval Academy 

made me a s11ccessful 

man not only for football b11f for life. And to 

develoμ yo11rself ns n 

ninn is the most i111porfanf thing for everyone."

lacrosse history. They won again in 1970, and were runners-up in 1975. In 

J 976, a Naval Academy graduate, Captain Lloyd Keaser, USMC, was an 

Olympic medalist in wrestling. 

Through the intercollegiate program, one of the largest in the nation, and 

an intramural schedule that is equally ambitious, the Naval Academy fulfills 

its responsibility For the physical development of midshipmen. Academy 

athletics are big, nationally known and respected, and put a high premiwn 

on excellence. 

Football at the Naval Academy dates from 1879, just 10 years after Rutgers 

and Princeton introduced the sport at New Brunswick. The midshipmen have 

been to Four bowl games, and nothing better symbolizes the Naval Academy 

athletic program than the Army-Navy football game, a sports event in the 

same galaxy as the World Series, the Kentucky Derby, and the Rose Bowl. 

There is enough of a variety in Navy's intercollegiate lineup to satisfy 

virtually everyone's athletic tastes. In the fall, there is Football, cross country, 

women's volleyball, soccer, 150-pound football, and sailing. Winter is the 

most active time of year with nine different sports in season-basketball, 

fencing, gymnastics, pistol, rifle, squash, swimming, track, and wrestling. The 

spring schedule includes baseball, heavyweight crew, lightweight crew, golf, 

lacrosse, sailing, tennis, and track. 
Women are encouraged to try out for, and participate as competitors along 

with male midshipmen in all Naval Academy sponsored intercollegiate sports 

except football, lacrosse, wrestling, and basketball. In 1976-77, women's 

teams competed for the first time in Naval Academy history at the intercollegiate level in volleyball, fencing, and basketball. The volleyball team was 

undefeated. 

Army traditionally is Navy's top opponent and the service rivals clash in a 

total of 18 engagements during the athletic year. Annapolis teams also face 

the perennial collegiate strongboys in every sport-Notre Dame in football, 

Columbia and New York University in fencing, Lehigh in wrestling, Harvard 

and Pennsylvania in crew, and Maryland in basketball, lo name a few. 

But perhaps even more a part of Annapolis life is the competition within 

the Brigdde represented by the intramural sports program. Every midshipman, with the exception of varsity athletes, must take part. Here all can 

participate, each at a level equal to individual athletic ability. Women are excluded, however, from participating as players in the following battalion-level, 

contact intramural sports: football, lacrosse, boxing, rugby, and wrestling. Intramural sports include. 

Basketball Football Softball Track 

Boxing Handball Squash Volleyball 

Crew Knockabout sailing Swimming Water polo 

Cross country Lacrosse Team handball Weightlifting 

Fencing Rugby Tennis Wrestling 

Field Ball Soccer Touch football 

Excellent physical facilities support the program. Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, seating 28,000 fans betv.•een the goal lines, was dedicated in 

1959. Halsey Field House is surfaced throughout with Tartan and includes a 

220-yard indoor track. There are more than 80 acres of lighted playing fields, 

an indoor swimming pool, a 5,000-seal baseball park, a challenging 6,217-

yard championship golf course, and an impressive array of tennis, squash, 

handball, and badminton courts. An AstroTurf field provides an all-weather 

practice area for football, lacrosse, and soccer, and a recently completed indoor skating rink provides for hockey and other skating activities. 

The athletic program is administered by the Naval Academy Athletic 

Association, a non-profit organization headquartered in Annapolis. The Association arranges the varsity schedules and provides coaching staffs and 

equipment.

Extracurricular Activities 

Life at the Academy offers midshipmen a wide-ranging choice of over 80 different extracurricular activities. All are organized and sustained by the Brigade 

of Midshipmen themselves. From sky-diving to scuba diving; from an FM 

radio station, WRNV, to the ham radio club, W3ADO; from the Madrigal 

Singers to a 150-member chapel choir; from blue water ocean sailing to small 

day-sailors on the Chesapeake Bay; from hockey to rugby football, midshipmen are involved in exciting pastimes. 

In general, the extracurricular activities (ECA's) fall into three areas: 

recreational, professional, and Brigade-support, and it is not uncommon for a 

midshipman to be a member in one or two from each group. 

One of the most popular ECA's is offered through the activities of the Naval 

Academy Sailing Squadron. With one of the finest sailing fleets in the world, 

over 100 craft in all, squadron members have the use of an 80-foot schooner, 

Mistral, for coastal and overseas cruising, five Class "A" ocean racing yachts, 

twelve 44-foot Luders-designed fiberglass yawls, thirty 24-foot converted 

Rainbow-class knockabouts, five 30-foot Shields, thirty "420" -class dinghies 

and 18 lasers. 

The Sailing Squadron is subdivided into two groups-the varsity sailing 

team and the Midshipman Sailing Club. The sailing team combines competition with professional development by competing in numerous intercollegiate 

and other regattas. This competition ranges from the single-handed Lasers to 

the ocean racers with a crew of 14. The Academy sponsors many of these 

regattas, including the McMillan Cup and the John F. Kennedy Memorial 

regattas in the yawls. There are dinghy regattas almost every weekend. During 

the summer, the larger yachts (60-foot sloop Cuerriere, 58-foot Syren, 48-foot 

/usurgente, 39-foot Fair American, and 38-foot Firebrand) are sailed in the 

open sea in such races as the Trans-Atlantic, the Bermuda Race, AnnapolisNewport, Marblehead-Halifax, and Chicago-Mackinac. Midshipmen command 

and navigate the yachts both in Chesapeake Bay races and in ocean races.

The Midshipmen Sailing Club combines recreation and professional development by emphasizing good seamanship in a cruising atmosphere. The highlight of the club's schedule is a summer offshore cruise to such ports as Bermuda and Halifax. 

One way or another, with dates or without, 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 no 

single activity at the Academy contributes more 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 they ever were. Thus, by developing better seamen, the Academy's sailing program contributes to the development of better 

naval officers.

The Scuba Club offers basic scuba diving courses taught by midshipmen 

instructors, all certified by the YMCA. The club provides tanks and regulators. Students purchase their own skin diving equipment from the club's dive 

shop at break-even prices. Over 200 divers are trained each year in basic or 

advanced diving. Once qualified, a member can enjoy club-sponsored trips 

during weekend liberties or leave periods to the Florida Keys, Virgin [slands, 

or Bermuda and to the wartime wrecks off the nearby coasts of North Carolina and New Jersey. 

The Parachute Club also has its own midshipmen instructors. AU are 

certified by the United States Parachute Association. Sport jumps are made by 

dub members at a nearby parachute center. The dub performs demonstration 

jumps at the Academy during half-time shows, June Week, and during Plebe 

Summer. Members are afforded an opportunity to qualify for military jump 

wings during summer leave at the Army's Special Warfare Training Center, 

Fort Benning, Georgia. There is also a Flying Club, with its own airplane. 

The Sportsman Club includes hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, backpacking, cycling, and skeet shooting. Because of the variety of popular 

activities offered, membership is one of the largest at the Academy. 

Professional ECA's at the Academy include a number of academically 

oriented clubs. Nationally recognized academic clubs and societies include the 

American Tnstitute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Institute of Electrical and 

Electronics Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American 

Society of Nuclear Engineers, Sigma Pi Sigma (the physics Honor Society), 

Marine Technology Society and Omicron Delta Epsilon (economics and management). 

The Naval Academy Yard Patrol Squadron, offering another type of professional ECA at the Academy, is organized for midshipmen who desire additional training aAoat. Similar to sailing, this voluntarv activity supplements 

the curriculum at the Academy and summer training with the Fleet The 

Squadron consists of six 80-foot YP craft, one being assigned to each battalion. 

The organization and practices of the YP Squadron are very similar to 

those of Fleet destroyer squadrons on duty around the world. The midshipmen officers are selected for their ability to fulfill command positions. The 

midshipman selected as squadron commodore is responsible for the overall 

performance and excellence of the squadron, including the coordination of 

training, proficiency competition, inspections, and cruises. Midshipmen assisting the commodore include a chief staff officer, two division commanders, and 

an administration officer. Completing the staff is an engineering officer, who 
supervises training in engineering and who ensures that engineering equipment is operated and maintained properly. Each yard patrol craft is commanded by a first or second classman who is assisted by a crew of 20, composed of midshipmen from all classes. 

Training is serious business during the week. Crews get underway on 

Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons. In addition to weekday training 

sessions, weekend cruises are conducted to Washington, Norfolk, Philadelphia, and to various Chesapeake Bay ports. This past summer saw a Bicentennial cruise to New York City and West Point. 

Competition between YPs for the Battle Efficiency Pennant is keen. The 

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

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

The ECA's providing support to the Brigade are wide-ranging and popular. 

The Glee Club and three choirs involve hundreds of midshipmen. The Drum 

and Bugle Corps, a company size unit, performs intricate marching routines 

while playing traditional martial pieces or specially adapted popular tunes. 

The Trident Brass, a concert-caliber organization, performs several times a 

year. The Midshipmen Modern Music Bands include four rock groups. The 

Pep Band, a rousing combination of Dixieland, blues and [ight songs, leads 

the Brigade at pep rallies and sporting events. 

The Masqueraders, the midshipmen drama and theater group, provide firstrate stage entertainments. The Brigade Hop Committee sponsors dozens of 

formal and informal dances. And the Juice Gang provides electrical and lighting support for plays and hops (dances) as well as for concerts by nationally 

recognized entertainers sponsored by the midshipmen's Popular Music Concert Committee. 

Members of the Brigade publish the L11cky Bag, the yearbook for each 

class; the Trident Calendar, a favorite Christmas gift embellished with photographs and cartoons; the Log, a literary and professional magazine featuring 

more than its share of campus humor; and Reef Poi11ts, the "Plebe's Bible," 

a pocket size guide to Academy and Navy customs, lore and tradition (it also 

serves as a good dictionary for parents and friE'nds to decipher midshipmen 

letters) 

In short, the broad range of extracurriculars offered at the Naval Academy 

offer something for everyone. For leisure-time entertainment. For professional 

enrichment And, it's safe to say, for just plain fun. 

"I I turns out tliat there 

are a lot of ways to

Administration, Staff, and Faculty 

The administration of the Naval Academy is in many respects analogous to 

that of any college. A Board of Visitors performs the broad supervisory functions of a board of trustees. The Superintendent, a flag officer of the Navy, 

is the equivalent of a college president, and acts as the executive head of the 

Academy. He is assisted by the Commandant of Midshipmen, whose function 

is somewhat like that of a dean of students; the Academic Dean; and an 

administrative staff. The Superintendent, the Commandant, the Academic 

Dean, and other senior members of the faculty comprise the Academic Board, 

which makes major academic decisions and sets the academic standards for 

the Academy. Military, professional, and physical training come under the 

Commandant. The Academic Dean heads the academic program. Today's 

600-man Naval Academy faculty is an integrated group of officers and civilians in approximately equal numbers. The officers, rotated at intervals of 

about three years, provide a continuing input of new ideas and experience 

from the Fleet. The civilians provide a core of professional scholarship and 

teaching experience, as well as continuity to the educational program. 

The Board of Visitors 

A Board of Visitors to the Academy, appointed annually, consists of the 

chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U.S. Senate, or his 

designee; three other members of the Senate designated by the Vice President 

of the United States or the President pro tempore of the Senate, two of whom 

are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate; the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U. S. House of Representatives, or his designee; four other members of the House of Representatives, 

two of whom are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the House 

of Representatives; and six persons designated by the President of the United 

States.

Academy to inquire into the state of morale and discipline, the curriculum, 

instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and related 

matters, and submits a written report of its action and its views and recommendations to the President of the United States.

Prizes and A wards 

Prizes and Awards 

Each June Week more than 80 prizes and awards, provided by individuals 

and a wide variety of organizations, are presented to deserving midshipmen 

in recognition of their noteworthy accomplishments in such areas as academics, leadership, professional studies, debate, public speaking, sailing, 

marksmanship, and athletics. 

The Museum 

The Naval Academy Museum serves as an inspiration to the midshipmen of 

the Brigade by providing tangible evidence of some of the most famous and 

exciting episodes in our nation's history. Its collection of more than 50,000 

individual items also provides an important reference source for the teaching 

of naval history. 

While most of the museum's valuable collections are located within the 

museum, other items of exceptional interest and value are located in the 

chapel, Bancroft Hall, Rickover Hall, and in other buildings throughout the 

Academy. The museum contains some of the finest ship models in the world, 

including the famous Henry Huddleston Rogers Collection; a superb collection 

of 13 historical marine paintings by Edward Moran; the Beverley R. Robinson 

Collection of naval battle prints; an outstanding collection of items relating to the life of John Paul Jones; the table from the mess deck of the battleship Missouri on which was signed the instrument of surrender ending World 

War II; valuable collections of manuscripts and extensive photographic files; 

"True valor lie, in the middle 

between cowardice and 

rnslrness."

and thousands of other significant items relating to the history of the Navy, 

the Marine Corps, and the Naval Academy. Included are collections of personal items of Decatur, Farragut, Dewey, Sims, Halsey, and other renowned 

American naval leaders. Museum items in Bancroft Hall include the flag 

hoisted by Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry at the Battle of Lake Erie on 

which were emblazoned the immortal words of the dying James Lawrence, 

"Don't Give Up T he Ship!" 

The U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association 

The U. 5. Naval Academy Alumni Association, Inc., is a private organization 

whose mission is to serve and support the United States, the naval service, 

and the Naval Academy by furthering the high standards of the Naval Academy; by seeking out, informing, encouraging, and assisting qualified young 

men and women to enter the Naval Academy and to pursue careers in the regular Navy and Marine Corps; and by initiating and sponsoring activities 

which perpetuate the history, traditions, and growth of the Naval Academy 

and which bind its alumni together in support of the highest ideals of command, citizenship, and government. 

All former midshipmen of the Naval Academy are eligible for membership 

in the Association-graduates, non-graduates, active duty officers, retired 

officers, and alumni who are no longer affiliated with the Navy. 

Alumni House (Ogle Hall of pre-Revolutionary-Annapolis fame), just a 

block outside the Academy's gate, is the Association's handsome national headquarters. Files and records are maintained on all ex-plebes dating from the 

establishment of the present Naval Academy in 1845 through the classes now 

enrolled. The many functions of the Association include annual publication 

of the Register of Alumni; publication of Shipmate, the alumni monthly magazine; support of class and chapter organizations; and service to and support of 

many activities at the Academy throughout the year. 

The United States Naval Institute 

Headquartered in Annapolis, the U. 5. Naval Institute is the professional 

society of the seagoing services. It is a private, nonprofit association of more 

than 63,000 members formed in 1873 for "the advancement of professional, 

literary, and scientific knowledge in the Navy." The membership includes 

officers and enlisted personnel from all branches of the military services, 
distinguished officers of foreign navies, .and U. 5. and foreign citizens interested in events and developments throughout the worldwide maritime community. Members pay annual dues and receive the Institute's monthly professional journal, the U. 5. Naval Institute Proceedmgs, and are entitled 

to purchase Naval Institute books, as well as those of other publishers, at 

reduced prices. 

The Institute's books include texts on professional naval subjects, training 

guides and manuals, scientific and technical works, and studies in naval 

history.

Special Medical Considerations 

Special Medical Examination Considerations 

The following special medical examination considerations are set forth in order 

that candidates, prospective candidates, a11d their private physicians and dentists 

may know the basic medical requirements for entrance to the Academy: 

MEDICAL HISTORY. The medical history will be compiled with particular care, 

with elaboration where indicated. Inquiries will be made in detail concerning all 

illnesses, injuries, and operations which candidates may have had. Failure to fully 

document these items can result in disappointment should related medical disqualification be determined later. A history of familial diseases will be investigated 

thoroughly. If the candidate has received medical ca.re which has significantly 

affected his physical condition, he will be required to submit evidence from attending 

physicians or from hospital records concerning this medical care. A candidate who 

has defects that are remedial, including dental defects, sho11ld have them corrected 

prior to laking the Q11alifying Medical Examination.

· New regulilHons permit admis~lon o( woml'n mldshipml'n up to 78 inches In height. We.ight standilrds 

for women above n inc;hes have not yet been established. 

These weight standards are necessarily arbitrary and waivers may be granted in 

unusual cases. Obesity is disqualifying.

exceptional scholastic and leadership achievements whose eyes are without excessive 

refractive errors and will correct to 20/20 with prescription lenses. (Technically, in 

evaluating the degree of refractive error, the strength of the lens required to correct 

the vision to 20/20 must not be greater than ± 5.50 diopters in any meridian, there 

cannot be more than 3 diopters of astigmatism present, and the maximum difference 

in power between the eyes may not e~ceed 3.5 diopters.) Candidates who wear 

spectacles should take them along when they receive their physical examination. 

Both eyes must be free from any disfiguring or incapacitating abnormality and 

from acute or chronic disease. Candidates wearing contact lenses must remove 

them at least three weeks prior to reporting for medical examination. Normal color 

perception is required. 

HEART AND VASCULAR SYSTEM· An electrocardiogram is required of all candidates. The following conditions may be causes for rejection, and they require complete medical evaluation. all organic valvular diseases of the heart, including those 

improved by surgery; EKG evidence of variations from normal heart beat; and hypertension evidenced by predominant blood pressure reading of 140 mm or more systolic 

or 90 mm or more diastolic. The following are causes for rejection: varicose veins, 

if severe or symptomatic; heart rate greater than 100 on repeated examinations; substantiated history of rheumatic fever within the previous two years; recurrent attacks of rheumatic fever or evidence of residual cardiac damage; history of recurring 

rapid heart beat within the preceding five years (paroxysmal tachycardia).

Appendix C 

Foreign Students 

REPUBLIC OF THE PHfLlPPINES. On behalf of the President of the United States, 

the Secretary of the Navy may authorize up to four Filipmos at any one time to 

receive instruction at the Naval Academy. Applications for these appointments must 

be addressed through diplomatic channels. The appointments are competitive. 

AMERICAN REPUBLICS OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES. Upon designation 

by the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Navy may authorize up 

to 20 persons at any one time from other American nations to receive instruction 

at the U. 5. Naval Academy. Not more than three persons from any one country 

may receive instruction at the same time. Applications for these appointments must 

be addressed through appropriate diplomatic channels. The appointments are 

competitive. Nominations must reach the Superintendent, U. 5. Naval Academy, 

Attn: Candidate Guidance Office, by 1 January of the calendar year in which ente.ring. 

Foreign nationals receiving instruction at the Naval Academy receive the same 

pay, allowances, and emoluments as other midshipmen; are paid from the same 

appropriations; and except for such modifications as may be determined by the 

Secretary of the Navy, are subject to the same rules and regulations governing admission, attendance, discipline, resignation, discharge, dismissal, and graduation, as 

midshipmen at the Naval Academy appointed from the United States. Foreign 

students are not entitled to appointment to any office or position in the U. 5. Navy 

by reason of their graduation from the Naval Academy. The entrance deposit in 

the amount of $300 is required of all foreign students. 

Each foreign candidate must: 

0 Be an unmarried, bona fide citizen of the nominating country and, unless 

otherwise approved by the Secretary of the Navy, be not less than 17 and not yet 

22 years of age on 1 July of the calendar year of entrance to the Naval Academy. 

0 Possess medical qualifications as specified in Appendix B of this catalog. After 

their arrival in the United States, all candidates must undergo a Qualifying Medical 

Examination at the United States Naval Academy. Foreign candidates are urged 

to undergo careful prelimina.ry examination by qualified medical personnel who are 

conversant with the physical requirements set forth in Appendix B of this catalog 

before leaving their homes for the Naval Academy. Those with obviously disqualifying defects may thus be spared the needless expense of the trip to Annapolis. In case of reasonable doubt as to whether or not the defects are disquaLfying, 

it is recommended that a telegraphic inquiry be addressed to the Superintendent, 

U. 5. Naval Academy, Attn: Director of Candidate Guidance, Annapolis, Maryland, 21402 U.S.A. 
D Be proficient in reading, writing, and speaking idiomatic English. Candidates 

may meet scholastic entrance requirements by submitting certificates from schools 

attended. They must also take either the American College Testing Program (ACT) 

test or the College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). 

Due consideration is given to the fact that these tests are prepared in the English 

language and not in the native tongue of the candidate. 

The naval attache or a diplomatic representative of the United States in the 

candidate's country must provide a report of the candidate's proficiency in the use 

of idiomatic English. 

Governments should submit the names of candidates as early as possible in order 

that they may qualify for entrance by the end of April and enter the Naval Academy 

in July. 

In lieu of the oath of allegiance to the United States, a substitute oath will be 

required, in substance as follows: 

.............. , a citizen of ........ . 

having been permitted to receive instruction as a midshipm,rn at the United States Naval Academy, do solemnly 

swear to comply with all regulations for the policy and 

d1sc1phne of the Naval Academy, and to give my utmost 

efforts to accomplish satisfactorily the required curriculum; 

do swear not to divulge any information of military value 

which I may obtain directly or indirectly in consequence 

of my presence at the United States Naval Academy to 

any a hen government; and do agree that I shall be withdrawn from the United States Naval Academy if deficient 

1n conduct, health, or studies. 

Notification will be given to the governments concerned that students found by 

proper authority to be unsatisfactory in conduct, studies, or health will be accorded 

the same consideration given to other midshipmen regarding withdrawal from the 

Academy or repetition of a year's work.

Each candidate for midshipman will be required to take the following oath of 

office upon entrance 

"[, . . .....•........•.•....• , hav111g been appointed a midshipman 

i11 the Urrited States Navy, do solem11ly swear (or affirm) that I w,11 s11pport a11d 

deferrd tire Co11stit11tio11 of tire Urrited States agairrst all e11e1111es, foreig11 a11d dome• tic t/rat I will bear tire true fait/r a11d alleg1a11ce to the same, tlrat I will obey tire 

orders of tire officers appomted over me, that I take tl11s obl,gatio11 freely, without 

,my me11tal resert•ation or p11rpose of evasio11, and that I w,ll well arrd fartl,fully 

disclrarge the duties of tire office on which I am abo11t to e11ter, so Help ,\le Cod." 

You will take the oath by holding up your right hand and swearing that you 

voluntarily bind yourself by its terms. You will also sign your name as a record to 

your oath This must not be a perfunctory procedure in any sense, and you should 

consider carefully and understand thoroughly the obligatton that will become vours. 

Ea ch will also be required to subscribe to the following agreement under oath: 

"For a11d 111 consideration of tire privileges, opportr111rt1es, a11d be11efits afforded me 

d11ri11g the cont1111mnce of my service as a mids/1ipma11, I agree to a11d wit/, tire 

Superi11tendent of tire U111ted States ,\'av,11 Arndemy, as follows: 

"First: To enter the service of the Navy of tire U11ited States and, to the utmost of 

my power and ability, to be in everythi11g corrformable a11d obedierrt to the several 

requireme11ts mid lawful commarrds of the officers who may be placed over me. 

Secorrd; I oblige myself, during such sernice, to comply with and be s11b1ect to t/1e 

U,11form Code of ,\lilitary Justice a11d such other laws a11d regulatio11s as are or 

shall be established by tire Congress of tire U111ted States or other competent authority. 

"Third: To submit to treatment for tire preve11tio11 of smallpox, typhoid (typ/roid 

prop/rylaxis), and to suc/1 other preverrtive measures as may be corrsidered 11ecessary by naval authorities." 

Candidates are usually sworn tn as m1dsh1pmen on the day they are accepted for 

admission, i.e., the date of reporting to the 1'aval Academy as designated in the 

Permit to Report issued by the Superintendent, U. 5. Naval Academy. Living 

accommodaltons m the city of Annapolis are limited, and candidates are therefore 

urged to time their amvals in Annapolis to coincide as closely as possible with the 

reporting time and date, l..eeping in mind, however, that transportalton facihttes between Washington and Annapolis and between Baltunore and Annapolis are 

limited. 

Midshipmen who are involuntarily separated from the Naval Academy pnor to 

repayment of the entrance credit, are required to turn in all articles of uniform and 

equipment deemed suitable for reissue, to an amount sufficient to liquidate their indebtedness. If reclaimed articles are insufficient to cover the indebtedness, parents will 
be given an opportunity to pay the remaining debt; failing this, the remainder of the 

debt is cancelled. Midshipmen applying for voluntary separation for their own convenience are required to repay in full the amount of indebtedness prior to separation. 

Every candidate must present a Social Security card upon reporting for appointment. If an individual has not obtained a Social Security number as a result of 

work experience prior to entering, one should be obtained based on the length of 

expected employment as a nudshipman. 

Upon entrance, midshipmen will be required to obtain a regulation entrance outfit from the midshipmen's storekeeper. Calculators and drawing sets are included in 

the outfit. Candidates are advised, therefore, not to purchase these items prior to 

entering the Academy. 

After being admitted to the Naval Academy, midshipmen receive travel and 

transportation allowances as prescribed in Joint Travel Regulations (ordinarily, 

mileage allowance of 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 is not available, a certified statement to this effect must be presented in order for the candidate 

to be reimbursed after becoming a midshipman. 

Shortly after entrance, each midshipman (except foreign nationals) will be required to complete a statement of personal history. Candidates should be prepared 

to furnish such information as: 

Names and locations of all schools attended. 

Family names, dates and places of birtlt of pare11ts, service data if parents are or 

were 111 armed forces; nah,rn/,zatio11 m,mbers of parents if applicable. 

Relatives i11 foreign countries-relationship a11d locatio11. 

Names a11d addresses of former employers. 

Names and addresses of three credit and five personal references (credit references 

may rnclude t/1ose of pare11ts). 

Residences duri11g past 15 years. (Dates, street addresses, a11d cities are required.) 

Candidates admitted as midshipmen will be 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 

,f 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. 

"The task of leadership 

is 11ot to put greatness 

into l111manity, b11t to 

elicit it, for the greatness is already there."

200 

Each qualified candidate, before being admitted as a midshipman must deposit 

with the Midshipmen Store, U. S. Naval Academy, the sum of S300, to be used to 

cover in part the cost of uniforms, clothing, textbooks, etc. The deposit is not 

refundable. This deposit should be made in the form of a personal check, cashier's 

check, certified check, traveler's check, etc., made payable to the Midshipmen Store, 

U. 5. Naval Academy. In hardship cases the deposit may be reduced to $100 by 

the Registrar.

Graduate Education Program 

Naval and Marine Corps Officers' Graduate Education Programs 

The vast ma1ority 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 masters program, either at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, or in programs offered at a number of 

participating civilian universities. Still others will have the opportunity lo undertake 

graduate studies at a later time in their careers.

science or engineering Officers who demonstrate superior academic ability and 

potential may be authorized to continue their education beyond the master's to the 

attainment of a Ph.D. degree.

of two to four years as officers prior to reporting to the civilian educational institution of their choice. 

U. 5. MARINE CORPS BURKE EQUIVALENT PROGRAM 

Open to five qualified (:vlarine option) midshipmen each year, participation in the 

Burke Equivalent Program allows those selected to be guaranteed being sent lo 

graduate school approximately two years after commissioning. The field of study for 

each Burke Equivalent Program selectee 1s chosen by him from an extensive list of 

approved disciplines.
