Why the Naval Academy? 

Time Hasn't Changed Our Mission 

I

f you ha,·e picked up this catalog and thumbed through it this far. 

presumably you have at least some interest in the Na,·al Academ). 

Perhaps it is only a neeting one prompted by curiosity. Or, conceivably, 

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

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

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

that other schools cannot? What will the Naval Academy expect of me7 What 

will [ get out ol 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, ob1eclive 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 1n the naval service. This commitment, 1f it is to come, develops in 

due time. It is considered necessarv, 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 law, education, medicine, nursing, the 

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

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

accept that you will be educated and trained here for :,ervice to your nation. 

You should be prepared to undertake the challenges of the four-year 

curriculum and to serve as an officer in the Navy or Manne Corps for five 

vears after graduation. And you should have an open mind as to your future 

after that five years. Dedication to the idea of service to your country must 

be high among your reasons for coming to Annapolis if ym1 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 18-15, has been dedicated to provid111g 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 ,ts outside relationships, has

broadened the requirements for the undergraduate education of its officers 

al Annapolis. 

Professional, seagoing. shipboard sub1ects are still required of each graduate, but, beyond these, each midshipman now chooses from many areas of 

study, ranging from engineering through oceanography, and mathematics 

on to h1slon·. economics, and political science. The needs of the Navy require 

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

engineering, scienliiic, or mathemahcs ma1ors. Other midshipmen may major 

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

,·ourself well prepared at graduation to sen·e as a li11e officer in anv of the 

principal \\'arfare special\ies. 

Leadership Training 

The Naval Academ,· does much more than simply offer vou a sound college 

cducatwn Its program includes military training, physical training, and the 

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

program at Annapolis is lo produce sell-confident leaders who accept and 

are fullv ready to carrv out their responsibilities both lo the nation they serve 

and to the men and women entrusted to their command. This 1s not an eaS)' 

goal and no one should come to the Na,·al Academv with the idea that the 

tra1nmg program is a spare-time adjunct to the educational program. It is allencompassmg and its activities pervade the four-\'ear course through all the 

ml>nths of the Year. 

Thus, \'OU should fully appreciate that the ultimate obiective of the 

leadership training that begms here at Annapolis is to produce officers who 

can nse to command-prof,•%itllln/ officers who are physicallv strong and 

mentally competittve and who ha,·e a solid technical foundation. Officers of 

unflinching honesty and forthrightness, with total commitment to high 

standards of honor, duty, and responsibiht~. Officers who relbh a challenge 

and thrive on accomplishment.

Jrn1, F i-E,,w, 

Characteristically, President Harry Truman cut to the essence of command 

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

of what the responsibility of command is all about, and still remarkably 

appropriate for today, was written by English sea captain and writer Joseph 

Conrad: 

"111 ench ship there is one 111a11 who, in the hour of emergency or 

peril nf sen, cnn turn to no other 111n11. There is one who nlone is 

ultimntely responsible for the snfe 11nv1gatio11, e11gi11eeri11g, 

perfor111n11ce, nccurnte gunfire, n11d mornle of his sl11p. He is the 

co11111rn11di11g officer. He is the ship." 

Years at Annapolis 

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

development m a new and different environment. You will certainly feel 

pressure and stress in the process and you will find it necessary to learn to 

utilize time better than you ever have before. The challenge will be total: 

mental, moral, and physical. For the entire vear 

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 m choosing what vou 
will do and where you will go. Along with that increased freedom, however, 

will come increased responsibility. The first class, and particularly the 

midshipmen officers chosen from the first class, are charged with much of 

the responsibility for running the Brigade. Student government was a reality 

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

institutions. It's part of your training here. 

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

worthwhile 1s ever easy And few achievements are so satisfying. By the 

time you graduate, you will have had the opportunity to develop your 

potentials of scholastic achievement, physical condition, 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 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 tleet of 

more than 100 small-craft-sail and power-underway on the Severn River 

or out on the Bay. 

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

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

you to ports along the East or West coasts, to the Caribbean, or to distant 

ports in Europe or the Far East. Recent Academy cruises have gone to a 

number of Mediterranean and Northern European countries, as well as to 

Hawaii, Australia, Japan, and Hong Kong in the Pacific. 

On youngster cruise you will stand the crew's watches on your ship, 

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

plebe year. Similarly, when you go on your first class cruise dunng the 

summer preceding your last academic year at the Academy, you "111 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 train in U.S. coastal waters or visit ports in Europe or the Far East. 

The 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 al Annapolis today lo express the commitment lo 

excellence that has marked our program since the founding of the Naval 

Academy more than a century and a quarter ago. II expresses man\' thingsbut at the heart of 1t 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 ha\'e lo want ii " That reallv says it all.

The Years 1845-1983 

Through the years 1845 lo 1983, as the nation's responsibifjties 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 program and curriculum 

as necessary to provide the timely, second-lo-none professional leadership 

expected m 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 JO-acre site of the Army's nearly abandoned 

Fort Severn, where the Severn Rjver empties into the Chesapeake Bay. 

Commander Franklin Buchanan was the first Superintendent of the Naval 

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

gunnery, naval tactics, engineering, chemistry, mathemalics, 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 Sixtv midshipmen, comprising 

two classes, attended the Academy's first convocation. 

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

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

cruises provided the 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. 

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

1851. 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 slay. During these early years, 

lhe Academy was one of the few institutions in Amenca offering a sophisticated, technical undergraduate program. In 1879, this excellence ,vas 

recognized by the Paris Exposition in the form of a certificate for the "Best 

System of Education in the United States." 

In the late 1870's, Lieutenant Albert A. M1chelson, a graduate of the Class 

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

while serving as an instructor in the Academv's Department of Physics and 

ChemjsLry. 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

to Mtehelson's earlier work. Thus, it is no surpnse that the science wing of 

the Acadcm,·'s science and mathematics complex is named l\lichelson Hall 

Another d1st111guished graduate ol these early years was Alfred Thayer

in peace and war for over 100 years Admirals Dewey, Sims, King, :--:imitz,

Greene, and Cushman have earned their place 111 history. So, also, have 

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

I lyman G. Rickover, "father of the nuclear '\Ja,f' and a 1922 graduate of 

Annapolis for whom RICkover Hall--our recently completed engtneenng 

complex-has been named, personified the Na,f s nuclear power program 

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

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

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

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

today. 

Following accred1ta1ton of the l\m al Academy in 1930 bv the Association 

of American Universities, a Congressional la\\' was passed in 1932 authonzing 

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

beginnmg \\'tlh the Class of 1931. In 1939, Congress authorized the awarding 
of the B.S degree to all living gradu,1tes. The Middle Slates Association ot 

Colleges and Sernndary Schools first accredited the Academy 1n 1947. 1\nd, 

in 1958, tests of the Colle~e Entrance Examination Board replacl'd -\cadenwprcpared entrance examinations. Since 1970, candidates ha,e had the option 

of taking the CLFl3 tests or the American College Testing Program lest for

of a required ma1ors program for all midshipmen Designated Bachelor of

Academy 111 1969. Currentlv, se,·en engineering majors lead tu designated 

degrees. All are nahonalh accredited b1· the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technolog~ (ABET). 

An Academic Ad\'isory Board of distinguished Americans, tormed bv the 

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

matters, has met periodical!~ at the Academ, each vear since 1966. 

Leg1slabon authorizing the adm1ss1on ot women to the ser\'1ce academies 

"consistent with the needs of the ser\'lces" was signed by President Ford 1n 

October 1975 The Naval Academy admitted its first women midshipmen 

(81) on 6 July 1976. Subsequent classes have a\'eraged 90-100 women. 

Yard and Facilities 

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

along the eastern seaboard, the :-s/aval Acade1m· was designated a U.S.

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

curriculum and the Fleet. Fort Se\'ern's original ten acres han~ grown lo 

today's 322 acres \.luch of this new acreage has resulted from a series of 

landfills in the Se\'ern RJ\·cr A landfill wmpleted in 1959 added 56 acres lor 

athletic fields and new buildings. Construction of a number of buildings 111 

use today, including our chapel, several academic buildings, and core areas 

of Bancroft Hall, the midshipmen's dormitory, began in 1899 with a Congressional appropnal10n of ten mtlhon dollars. Ernest Flagg was the architect, 

the stvle, French Renaissance. 

Ensuing years saw the addition of new wings to Bancroft I !all; the 

cnnstruction of M1tscher l lall, containing an inter-lailh chapel, a chaplain's 

center, and an auditonum; the construction of Halse:, Field I louse, and the

range of facilities and sen·ices for student and facullv research, computeraided education, and educational televisi0n is available throughout the 

academic complex. All academic areas arc air-conditioned. 

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

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

the Intercollegiate Sailmg Hall of Fame and new waterfront headquarters for 

our sailing program. These funds have also pronded a beautiful activity 

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

an indoor ice skating rink, a cafeteria, lounges, and game rooms. Construction 

o{ a new athletic facility, Le1cune Hall, featuring Olympic-style sw1mmmg 

and di\'ing facilities and a six-nng wrestling arena, was completed adiacent 

to the Field !-louse in 1982. 

The center for daily li\'ing is Bancroft I !all, one of the largest dormitory 

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

dining facilities for the entire 4,500-membcr Brigade. All of the basic amenities 

for daily living, as well as man) for recreation, arc found in Bancroft Hall.

CHAPTER III 

Life at Annapolis 

The Naval Academy is charged with the responsibility of preparing 

midshipmen for service as commissioned officers 111 the U.S. Navv or 

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

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

midshipmen are prepared morally and phvsically for the rigors of commissioned service. This is a threefold nuss1on that requires careful organization 

and a clear set of priorities. 

Dunng the academic year, first priority is given to studies, and each 

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

weekdays, foUowing the last class of the day, midshipmen participate 111 

intramural or varsity sports and other extracurricular activities. 

During the summer months, the emphasis sw111gs to professional training, 

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

indoctrination visits and trairnng at selected naval shore acl1vit1es Upperclassmen also enjoy an extended lea,·e period during the summer. 

Moral Development 

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

are high and unequivocal, and every m1dsh1pman is expected to measure 

up 

Our entering m1dsh1pmen renect a composite o( feelings, attitudes, and 

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

personal values. Whate,·er their backgrounds, an established moral base for 

decis1onmakmg is presumed for all new midshipmen. But a real test lies 

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

and evaluate their 111dividuaJ values in the clear light of the ethical reqrnrements of the naval service. 

It 1s assumed al the Naval Academy that midshipmen will not lie, cheat, 

or steal, but much more 1s demanded. Midshipmen are taught formally and 

by example to recognize the common good, to build a cummurntv which 

shares concern for its members, and lo mal-.c difficult ethical choices. They 

learn lo do their duty, lo lake careful o,·ers1ghl of their subordinate~. and lo 

meet high standards of moral lt>adership on all occasions. 1 his life-stance 1s 

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

athletic programs. Experience, moral respuns1bilitv, personal growth· Our 

graduates are belier officers because of 1t.

Organization 

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

the student body is orga111zed mto the Brigade of Midshipmen. The Commandant of Midshipmen, a commodore or a senior Navy captain, commands 

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

!ovally; for pro, idmg military indoctrination and physical development, and 

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

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

carrvmg ou t these responsibilities the Commandant is assisted by an immediate staff of officers, designated the Office of the Commandant, and by five 

subordinate departments or groups of officers. The departments reporting 

to the Commandant include the Di\·ision of Professional Development, the 

Brigade Officers, the Phvs1cal Education Department, the Brigade Chaplains, 

and the l\l1dsh1pmen Supply Department. 

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

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

officers composed of Navv lieutenants and lieutenant commanders and 

Marine Corps captains and majors. These officers work in close da1lv contact 

\\'ith the midshipmen in Bancroft Hall. Here, b~• precept and example; the 

application of sound techniques ol leadership, counsel, and guidance; and. 

when required, corrective or disciplinary action, m1dsh1pmen are measured, 

molded, and motivated for the day when they will 10111 the J\.a,·y or the 

Marine Corps as commissioned officers. 
Bancroft H.ill (affechonately known as ".\!other B") houses the entire 

Brigade ol 1'.lidshipmen. The ma1ontv lne two or three to a room. In each ol 

the 36 companv areas in Bancroft Hall there is a wardroom for mformal

a large, air-conditioned d111ing hall extending seaward from Bancroft Hall, 

accommodates the entire Brigade, [amily-stvle, for meals. Also 111cludcd in 

Bancroft Hall are small Catholic, Protestant, and 111ter-laith chapels, with 

chaplains' offices ad1oining; a midshipmen's store for necessities and an 

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

a cobbler shop, a post office, recreation rooms, bowling alle\'s, and a snack 

bar ("The Steerage"). On weekends, Memorial Hall, Smoke Hall, and the 

nearby activity center in Dahlgren I lall pro\'1de attractive settings for dances 

and other recreational acti\'ities. 

f-or purposes of military training and adm1111stration, the Brigade of 

:Vlidsh1pmen 1s d1v1ded 111to two regiments, each of which is divided into 

three battalions. The six battalions are each di,·ided into SI\ comp,rn1es.

Years of Development 

The incoming midshipmen are officially designated midshipmen fourth class, 

bul 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 indoctnnation from the day they enter in early July 

until the end of their plebe year the followmg May. Demands upon them 

and upon their spare time, all with good reason, seem never-ending 

Midshipmen quickly discover dunng this period that the} are learning 

subordinates, under close supervision and careful guidance. Plebe indoctrination is administered by midshipmen of the first class, assisted by the 

second classmen, and closely supervised by lhe Commandant and the Brigade 

Officers. 

Although some form of military training is found at many American colleges 

and umversities, the rigorous rouhnes and challenges of a year-long 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 hastening the development of 

leadership abilities and an understanding of the military environment. Its 

aim 1::; lo leach each plebe lo: 

Exercise self-discipline, 

Organize time and effort effecti vely, 

Perform e ffi ciently under stress, 

Think and react quickly with good judgement, 

Exhibit an exemplary military bearing and appearance. 

Plebe year is designed to test and develop. It is a demanding period, 

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 

forever. This is scarcely surprising, for in one schedule-crammed day, civilians 

are transformed into midshipmen and begin ad1usting lo a strange and 

challenging way of life. It's quite a shock. They are gwen hai.rcuts, pose for 

TD photos, fill out forms and more forms, wince through innoculations, and 

don newly issued umforms; they learn to square their hats and to stand 

straight, to respond to orders, to stav in step while marching, and lo salute; 

and they experience their first meal in King Hall, the vast m1dsh1pmen's 

wardroom. 

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

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

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

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

defend ... " 

Congratulations are in order, but there's little time to enJOV them. A brief 

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

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

The walls close down ...

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

be everywhere 111 Bancroft hall-giving orders, instructing, challenging every 

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

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

time to collapse 11110 bed 

Reveille Jars everyone back to reality. It 1s 6:15 the next morn111g. "Another 

da\' in which to excel," as lhev say around here. And so 11 goes; there's no 

letup 111 sight. Day:, blur 11110 weeks through the hot summer. Civilian ways 

and days soon seem far beh111d. 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic 

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

calibre pistol, sailing Navy vawls, handling mmesweepmg launches (MSL's), 

and parlic1pal111g in a rigorous physical conditionmg program contribute to 

making each midshipman a proudly versatile individual. Team spirit and the 

desire lo win are developed through competition in a wide range of activities, 

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

Plebe summer term111ates in mid-August with Parents' Weekend, when 

parents of the new midshipmen have the opportunitv to visit the Academ} 

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

exhib11tons 111 sports, dming in King Hall, sailing with their midshipmen, 

and the opportunity to meet the faculty and company officers help assure 

parents that their sons and daughters are taking their new hie at Annapolis 

in stride. 

Upperclassmen return from at-sea tram111g, leave, and other summer 

activities the follo\.ving week. Plebe summer 1s over, but plebe indoctrination 

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

begun, paced by a demanding daily schedule .

Third Class Year. Following graduation of the senior class, newly minted 

third classmen depart on a month or more of trainmg at sea with the Fleet, 

accompanied by midshipmen of the first class. At-sea training is followed by 

about 30 days of leave. 

Dunng their first taste of life at sea in the Navv, the midshipmen come to 

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

and upon whom thev will depend as officers. Third classmen serve in many 

capacities and actively participate in a wide range of shipboard operations. 

They stand deck, gunnery, operatrnns, and engineering watches; operate 

ship's boats; and exercise at general shipboard drills. 

With the completion ot at-sea training and summer lea,·e, third classmen 

return to the Academy for their second academic vear and begin worl-.. in 

their ma1ors. And, although the new year brings additional militarv responsibilities, the lessened emphasis on mdoctnnation leaves more time for studies 

and for sports and other extracurricular activities. It is a welcome and 

deserved change of pace' 

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

chance to enjoy the festivities of their second Commissioning Week, third 

classmen become second classmen. Two vears down, two to go.

Second Class Year. During a fast-mo\'lng summer, second classmen undertake 

professional studies al the >la\'al Academy-including training m operations 

and tactics aboard the Academv's 80-foot yard patrol craft-and they receive 

fam1hanzallon tra1nmg 111 the '"ariare specialties of the Nan· and Marine 

Corps along the Eastern Seaboard. In New London, Connecticut, each receives 

an introduction to the submarine service through lectures ashore and through 

v1~1ts and short cruises on board nuclear submarines of the U.S. Atlantic 

Fleet Travelmg to Norfolk, \'1rgirna, the new second classmen undergo 

combat svstems training at the Fleet Combat Traming Center, and visit 

modern destrovers and amphib1ou::, ships. Flight indoctnnation 111 naval 

traming and uperational aircraft at Norfolk and at Pensacola, Florida, provides 

a 1,,.nowledge of the duties of an officer choosing a career in naval aviation. 

Introduction to the techniques of vertical envelopment, amphibious assault, 

and ground combat, provided at Marine Corps training facilities in Virginia, 

completes the summer's protessional training. 

Following summer leave, still greater militarv responsibilities become theirs 

as second cl,1ss midshipmen return to the Academy for their third academic 

vear and enter mto 1ncreasinglv advanced areas of study in their ma1ors. 

M1dsh1pmen officers an~ selected from the class and trained to direct the 

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

mdoctrination of the new fourth class is also undertaken by the second class. 

In addition to contributing to the de\'elopment of the fourth classmen, this 

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

leaders. There 1s little time for watching the calendar. And, before long,

During 

-=-

their last summer, lirst dassmen go to sea -for 

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

they ha\·e the opportunity to assume the responsibilities and perform the 

duties of 1unior officers. For some, the summer will include training in air 

and ground warfare with a Manne brigade m Hawa11. A number of carefully 

chosen members of the first class will also take part m the training and 

indoctrination of the ne" plebe class at Annapolis during the summer. 

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

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

Work 111 na\'lgat10n, watch-standing on the bndge, exercises 111 the combat 

information center and in the engineering spaces, and lectures and studies 

on other aspects of shipboard hie complete the summer's training with the 

Fleet 

Normally, midshipmen visit a number o( foreign lands and ports during 

their trammg cruises, although some ships mav remain 111 u.S. coastal waters. 

Depend mg on their ship assignment, \ 1s1ts ma\' be made to such places as 

Hawaii, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, and \/ew Zealand in the Pac1f1c,

The Honor Concept 

A total commitment to the highest standards of honor, duty, and responsibility 

1s a vital goal in each midshipman's professional development at Annapolis. 

I !ere, the Honor Concept of the Brigade of Midshipmen plavs a key role. By 

providing guiding precepts-a set of principles to live by, rather than a set 

of regulations-the Honor Concept sets forth high standards of integrity for 

all midshipmen and guides them in measuring up to these standards m 

everyday s1tuat10ns. 

There is simply no place at the Naval Academy for lying, cheating, or 

stealing. Violations usually lead to dismissal. The Concept makes this clear. 

But the Ctmcept 1s more than an adm1111strative de\'1Ce for dealing with moral 

failure at the Naval Academy. Bv fostering the development of lasting moral 

principles, it becomes part and parcel of the profess1011al1s111 expected of our 

graduate, as commissioned officers. 

The Honor Concept 1s midshipman-conceived and supported-a living, 

operational system at Annapolis, with each class of midshipmen participating 

throughout the year in its interpretation and administration through their 

elected Company Honor Representati\'eS to the Brigade Honor Committee 

The Professional Training Prog ram 

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

is assisted by the Director of Professional Development. Encompassing a 

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

graduates with a sound foundation 111 the tundamental specialized subjects 

and skill~ required uf professional officers in the Navy or Marine Corps. 

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

years at the Academ1 Class standing at graduation and seniorit1· as a new!) 

commissioned officer depends s1g111ficantlv on a midshipman's professional 

traming performance. 

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

and a \'anet1 ol e,·olutions and dnlls-both ashore and afloat-in \\'hich the 

midshipmen learn by doing. Progressing from basic military and naval 

knowledge to the presentatwn ol more advanced information and concepts, 

the program supports and complements both the milttar\' life "·ithin the 

Brigade and the professionalll' oriented academic courses. A description of 

the courses, drills, and trai111ng makmg up the professional tram1ng program 

begins on page 135.

Physical Education 

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

Education Deparlmenl makes a, ital contnbuhon to the physical development 

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

m1dsh1pmen participate. 

The program's aims are to de,·elop 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 phvsical hardship. Equally important, 

the program aims to be enjoyable, to pronde a release from the academic 

routme, to develop a lasting appreciation for sports in general, and to develop 

individual skills in carry-over sports for enjoyment after graduation. 

\Vomen parhcipate 111 the same physical fitness and physical education 

program as the men except that some adjustments are made in the program's 

conlenl (no contact sports such as boxmg, wrestling, etc.) and the standards 

to be met by women because of phvs1ological differences. 

The program gets off lo a fast start during plebe summer Prelimman 

testing of posture, swimming capability, and general athletic abilit,· is followed 

by mstructwn and pracltce in boxing, wrestling, lacrosse, fencmg, soccer, 

rugb), gymnastics, crew. golf. ten ms, squash, sw1mmmg, and track. 

The pace continues during the first academic vear. Instruction 1s given m 

swimming, bo'\ing, wrestling, gymnastics, goll, personal cond1lloning, squash 

rackets, soccer, len111s, and volleyball. In addition, midshipmen de,·elop their 

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

slrenglh, agilitv, swimming, boxmg, wresllm!?,, g~ mnastic:,, bv a mile run, 

and on the obstacle course.

Religious Activities 

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

Yard at the Na,·al Academ} and, ma sense, serves as a symbol of Annapolis 

to the outside world. This 1s more than a coincidence. O,·er the decades of 

our historv, fighting Americans ha,·e learned by e'\penence that there 1s a 

dimension to militarv leadership-both in and out of combal-\\'hich 1s 

essential to real effectiveness. This is the spiritual factor, the intangible qualitv 

we call moral courage. 

What 1s it that strengthens men and women in the dailv battles ol liie? 

Where do they turn /or help and reassurance m times ot special stress? Whal 

makes them capable of decisions that disregard personal exped1enc1? The 

answer lies in the spiritual dimension that guides their live::,. 

Protestant, Catholic and Jewish ser\"ices, in both traditional and conlemporarv form, are held each week. The midshipmen ma) also attend a1w of 

the churches in lhe commumty. While attendance at religious services is 

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

their personal beliefs will often be tested, and that, in lime ot stress, their 

subordmates will look lo them for spiritual as well as professional guidance 

The Naval Academy has long believed that iuture officers owe 11 to themselves 

and lo those they will lead to gain insights into moral, ethical, and sp1nlu,1! 

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

take full advantage of opportunities here for worship and moral den~lopment. 

From the first dav of plebe summer until the da, ol comm1ss1oning, four 

1•ears later, the Academy's staff of six chaplains serves and administers lo 

the needs of lhe Brigade of M1dsh1pmen. Among other things, they prol'ide 

personal counseling ranging from faith-centered issue, through crises of Ille 

and death to future marriage plans. 

In ei-.ercising a m1111stry ot "presence" throughout the dailv life ol the 

Brigade, chaplains sponsor and parllcipate 111 Bible studies, pnwer groups, 

and instrucllon classes, l'isit in compa111 areas, lead the praver at even111g 

meal, and arc involved in a host of other Brigade acl1\ il1es-all of which are 

designed to share and build lasllng sp1rill.ial resources and t(l cull1vate the 

strength and inspiration which comes from a deeply personal relalll1nsh1p

Dining in King Hall 

Meals are "special" at the Naval Academy With the possible exception of 

those plebes who may feel unprepared for the inevitable blitz of "professional" 

mealtime questions, it's clearly a looked-forward-to time of the day. The 

menu is varied, imag1nal!ve, and hearty ... as far from "institutional" as 

the Academy can make 11. A professional food-service staff heads the efforts 

of 350 employees, including menu planners, cooks, bakers, and a foodservice team (waiters) of 200. Di111ng together at 372 tables 111 Fleet Admiral

A m1dsh1pmen's daily diet approximates 4,500 calories. All meat is U. S.

The Naval Profession 

0 urs is a comple>- Navy-one whose ships range every ocean, whose 

supersonic planes provided the trainmg ground for America's first 

astronauts, whose nuclear submarines and surface ships are a 

testimony to America's engineering ge111us, whose leaders advise 111 the 

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

when tales of valor are told. Though ours is a vastly complicated and 

technolog1cal Navy, the people 111 the Navy are, m the end, the all-important 

factor. Thus, 11 1s an organization which puts a high premium on leaders 

with vision, ded1callon, and ability It is a Na\·y with a proud past and a 

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

spectrum of interesting fields. 

After four intensive and demanding years of academic studies and professional traming at Annapolis, Naval Academy graduates are fully ready to 

assume the responsibilities of an officer 111 the greatest Navy or Marine Corps 

in the world. Everv physically qualified graduate 1s comm1ss1oned 111 the 

unrestricted lme of the Na\'\ or the Marine Corps.• Those physically ineligible 

to accept these comm1ss1ons may apply for a commission in various staff 

corps of the Navy, e.g., Supply Corps or m the various restricted lme 

specialties, e.g., Engineering Duty 

Assignments for Women Officers 

Congressional legislation has amended the long-standing law that prohibited 

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

engaged m combat missions. This legislallon permits women to serve as 

members of ship's compan) on a variety of auxiliary ships (repair ships, 

research vessels, salvage ships, replenishment vessels) which do nut 11orn111/111 

perform a combat mission Women officers are eligible fur temporarv dul\ 

assignment (less than 180 days) to 111111 ship for which a combat mission 1s 

not cnv1s1uned during the temporary duty penud. 

i\!evertheless, even though this significant change will allow women to gn 

to sea in 111creas1ng numbers, the careeer patterns and dut\ stations of 

women graduates of the Naval Academy are still d1i/erent from their male 

wunterparts. The limited number of non-combat related sea billets means 

that woml'll ma}, in general, expect the ma1ont\' of their assignments to be

Academy will go to sea or fly a plane (surface and air warfare specialists), 

the majority of women officer graduates v-·ill develop other specialities and 

pursue careers (occasionally at sea) in such areas as administration, communications, computer science, engineering, en\'1ronmental science, intelligence, or research and de\'elopmenl, to name iust a few 

Women accepting a commiss10n in the Manne Corps may be assigned to 

any duty available lo male officers with the exception of those (infantry, 

artillery, tanks, combat flying, etc.) which mav place them in a combat 

situati~n. Some of the occupational spec1alt1es a\'ailable to women marines 

include supply, adjutant (administration), communications, disbursing, public affairs, law, data systems (computers), and air control. 

First Duty 

A Naval Academy graduate's first career opportunitv comes in the initial 

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

they graduate and rece1\'e their comm1ss10ns. Career options available-on 

land, sea, under the sea, and in lhe air-are bv far the broadest offered by 

any of the service academies The priority assigned individual duty preferences 

1s dependent upon the needs of the service and the indi\'idual's class standing 

and physical and other personal qualifications. Every attempt is made to 

assign graduates to the dutv and locality they request 

The pnnctpal duty assignments tor the 1025 (962 men, 63 women) members 

of the Class of 1982 commissioned in the U.S. Na\'y and 11.larine Corps 

following graduation (where qualified, almost all were granted their first 

choice) included the following: 

Surface Ships (con\'ent1onally powered): 211 men, 7 women 

Nuclear Power Training: 217 men ( 181 submarine-bound, remainder to 

surface ships) 

Submarine Strategic Weapons: 10 men 

Aviation: Pilot training-232 men, 8 women; Flight Officer traming-124 

men, 5 women 

U.S. Marine Corps: 128 men, 5 women 

Seventy-eight midshipmen (-10 men, 38 women), including a number not 

physically qualified for the above dultes, elected and were assigned to such 

fields as cryptology, engineering, administration, communications, intelligence, supply, aviation maintenance, special warfare, salvage and rescue, 

and geophystCs. 

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

life t-.!ost Naval Academy graduates are comm1ss1oned as ensigns in the hne 

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

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

destroyer, or replenishment or amph1b1ous \\'arship) attend a four-month 

course at the Surface Warfare Officer School prior to reporting to their first 

ship. Other graduates may qualify and be selected for nuclear power training, 

with ultimate assignment to nuclear-powered submarines or surface combatant ships of the Fleet. 

Graduate programs leading to the advanced degrees are a\'ailable to a small 

number of new graduates, while broad post-graduate opportunities arc 

available to all officers later in their careers. Normallv these spenal programs 
-

will follow an initial tour of sea duty. Prospective a\'ialors ma) elect to go 

d1rectlv to night school or they may go to sea with the Fleet for two years 

betore entermg night training. 

One out of e\'ery six Annapolis graduates may \·olunteer for appointment 

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

the ,\larine Corps will spend 21 weeks at the Basic School-a school tor 

officers, run b\ officers. After this familiarization training, the Marine 

lieutenant will receive formal trainmg in the occupational specialty he or she 

1s qualified for and chooses. Career field choices include infantry, armor, 

tanks, artillery, intelligence, log1sllcs, engineers, air command and control, 

data processmg, supply, and communications. Upon completion of training, 

the lieutenant will be assigned to a regular Manne Corps unit. 

Officer Career Patterns 

Within the framework of the needs of the service, ollicers determine thL•ir 

own career patterns to a significant degree through their requests tor 

ass1gnml'nts anoat ,111d ashore, advanced studies, and, of course, by personal 

peformance After the 1111tial tour, most voung officers have a fairh well 

developed idea of what specialty thev would like to follow. Lme officers seek 

operational assignments that will pn•pare them for command of a surface 

ship, submarine, aircraft squadron, or Manne combat unit. Tours of duty 

ashore occur at regular mter\'als Otficers aspiring lo command at sea will 

sen·e m a number of ships or aircraft squadrons in different capac1lles, as

well as 111 staff and planning billets, afloat and ashore, in the United States 

and overseas. 

Graduate studies and repeated assignments with111 specialized fields provide l111e officers with subspecialties which generally are exercised ashore. 

These subspecialties include such vaned fields as ship engineering, aeronautical engineering, management, international relations, and personnel administration 

Whtie certa111 aspects ol the career patterns of Nav\' and Manne Corps 

officers are similar, there are some significant differences. Upon completion 

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

training, the Marine lieutenant can expect to be assigned to Fleet Marine 

Force operational u111ts 111 the United States or in the Far East. During this 

i111tial tour, the Manne officer serves in command and staff positions. 

Follow111g this, the Marine officer can e,pect assignments to jobs outside his 

or her specialty, such as independent duty, barracks duty, recru1t111g duty, 

or duty with other sen ices ur with a maior headquarters staff. As Marine 

Corps officers advance in rank and e,perience, they find themselves receiving 

advanced protessional training at various sen·ice schools, attending graduate 

schools, and assum111g greater respons1b1ltttes 111 command and stafl positions. 

It is at once a sahsfymg and demand111g life. The officers 111 the Navy or 

Marine Corps present many faces to the world as they ad, ance in senioritv: 

professional sailor, Marine, aviator, engineer, manager, scientist, administrator, educator, diplomat, Fleet commander. This is not 1ust a 10b, but a 

way of hfe-a career dedJCated to the service of the l.m1ted Stales and its 

people, carrying with it l11gh professional prestige and opportu111ties for 

broad experience, a career which rewards the 111dustrious, the loyal, and the 

imaginative. It 1s a career tor those with a cal for strenuous hnng, patnot1sm, 

and dedication to an ideal of real meaning which can be translated 111to a 

lifet11ne of adventure and service 111 the 'lavv or ~larine Corps of the L,nited 

States.

CHAP I FR V 

Admissions 

Each year, the Naval Academ,·'s Admissions Board selects approximately 1,300 candidates for admission to the plebe (freshman) class. 

Thev come from everv state in the union and from backgrounds 

reflecting everv facet of American hfe. The Na, al Academy encourages this 

d1versit\ and recognizes the value and promise of a Brigade l'nnched by a 

membership representmg e,·ery race. creed, color, and background found in 

this nation Students from minority groups are strongly encouraged lo apply 

for admission The number of minority students in recent entering cla~ses 

has risen sharply The Class of 1986 mcluded 206 m1dsh1pmen (about l'i.5 

percent of the class) from raoal and ethnic mmonhes. 

Certam general eligibility requirements for candidates do exist Candidates 

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

must not haw passed their 22nd birthda,· b, I Jul\ in the ,·ear of admission 

fhey must be unmarried, not pregnant, and ha,·e no d1ildren and, except 

for limited quotas of foreign mKbhipmen spec1f1tally author12ed bv Congress, 

must bl' ohzens of the L.imted States 

Meeting these requirements, prospective candidates must then proceed to 

obtain a nomination; qualify scholasticall\, medicallv. and in ph,·si,al aptitude; 

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

school records, SAT or ACT scores, recommendat10ns I rom school off1nals, 

record of extracurncular achv1hes and other e, 1dence of character leadership 

potential and academic aptitude and achie,ement Qualification for admission and competition for selection is based on all of the above factors 

High School Program 

Cand1d,1te~ should pursue studies m high school that will prep<1rc them for 

a rigorous collegl' program 1 he q11t1ht11 of the work is important. Eighty ·lll1e 

percent of the members of the class of 1986 ranked in the top 20 percent of 

their high school classes. Chances for adm1ssltln are ,·en• limited for those 

who stand belo" the top .JO percent. \\'hile the Academv does not ha\'e ng1d 

requ1rL·ments concernmg the sub1ects whICh must be mcluded 111 the school 

record, c,mdidates arc ,tro11xli1 encouraged to mclude the follow111g sub1ccts

About 80 members of each plebe class will have had one or more semesters 

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

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

Academ1 will open a preadmission file upon receipt ol this questionnaire, 

and evaluations will be provided to applicants b1 earlv summer. Information 

gathered in the preadm1ssllln file wtll also be used by the Academ1· to provide 

the applicant's Congressman with periodic status reports, including a pre!tminan· evaluation ol the applicant, results of the medical e,aminahon, and 

other information which ma1· assist the applicant 111 being selected for a

service through Annapolis. This office a lso coordinates the nationwide 

activities of some 1,500 selected Naval Reserve officers, not on active dutv, 

and civilians who have been designated Naval Academy Information Officers. 

These officers are qualified to counsel applicants on all aspects of admission 

and are in close contact throughout the year with officials al Annapolis.

Congressional Nominating Procedures 

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

has at the Naval Academ) At the member of Congress' discretion, nominees 

may be designated as "principal," "1st alternate," "2nd alternate," and so 

on lo "9th alternate", or they may be nominated as a principal with nine 

competitive alternates for e\'aluation by the Naval Academy; or they may 

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

by the Naval Academy for the \'acancy_ The top candidate on the list who is 

found to be completeh qualified for admission by the Academy is appointed 

lo fill the vacancy. But this does not mean that the others are no longer 

considered. In fact, if pr1r/1c11/arly well qualified, it is possible that they all 

mav be accepted for admission as qualified alternates or competitors. 

Admission of Qualified Alternates and Competitors 

Each Year the Naval Academy selects for admission ,eveml h1111rlred (not 

otherwise selected tor appointment) qualified Congressional-type alternate 

nominees (includes Vice Presidential, Samoa, Guam, etc.) and qualified 

competiti\'e nominees (Presidential, Regular Navy and ~larine Corps, NROTC, 

etc) to bring the entering class up to authorized strength. By law, the first 

150, plus three-fourths of any others so appointed, must be Congressionaltype nominC'es. No special application for these add1t1onal appointments is 

necessarv, since all qualified nominees are considered a11/0111al1cally by the 

Academy's Admissions Board 

Admission of Women 

In meeting the "needs of the Sernce," it is estimated that the Naval Academ) 

will be authorized by the Na,-v to admit approximate!\' 105 women in the 

Class of 1988. The number of women who may be appointed from each of 

the existing sources of nominations listed m this catalog 1s proportional to 

the total numbC'r of appomtments authorized by law tor these sources. 

Women compete with men nominated from the same sources, except for 

children of Medal of Honor winners, who are admitted without limit if 

qualified. 

Women who hold Congressional principal nominations are admitted. if 
qualified, unless the n umber of women in line to receive an appointment 

from Congressional-type sources ol appointment exceeds the number apportioned lo these sources (the Vice President; U.S. Senators and Representatives; Gnvemors of Puerto Rico and American Samoa; Delegates from D.C., 

Guam, and the Virgin Islands, and the Residen t Commissioner of Puerto 

Rico) Ii this occurs, women who are qualified principal candidates compete 

111 order of merit with women who are in hnc to be offered Congressionaltvpe appointments, up to the number apportioned lo these sources. The 

remainder of the women 111 this group have priorilv among the qualified 

alternates and competitors discussed above 

Sound complicated? Yes, but if you read it aga111 slow!\' you will sec that, 

as Congress intended, women are being offered the maximum opportunitv 

lo compete with men up to the authoriLed number of appointments

Pay and Expenses 

Midshipmen are currently paid $480 per month, commencing on the date of 

adm1ss1on. This salary provides funds for uniforms, books, equipment, 

laundrv, and income tax, and for leaves, datmg, and other personal needs 

while at the Naval Acadenw By graduation, midshipmen will have accrued 

savings averaging Sl,500. Typically, this will be used to augment their 

wardrobe of officer uniforms and to help them establish themselves at their 

new duty stations. 

Before being admitted as a m1dsh1pman, each candidate must deposit with 

the Midshipmen's Store the sum of $700 to be used 111 partial payment for 

uniforms, cloth mg, etc. In cases tif extreme hardship this sum mav be reduced 

or wa1\ered, in \\ hich case money allowances will be reduced until the 

individual's account reaches prescribed le\·els (In such cases, the m1dsh1pman's accrued savings will be less than the class a\·erage upon graduation )

Service Obligation, Separations, and Resignations 

A midshipman entering the N,wal Academ, d1recth from a ci\ Jiian status 

assumes a six-vear militan servJCe obligatwn. a~ prm ilil'd b\· Title JO. l, S. 
Code, Section 651 If such a midshipman does not fulfill the Agreement to 

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

to the '\aval or Marine Corps Rese1Te in an enlisted status and may be 

ordered to active duty for such a penod of time as the Secretary of the Navy 

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

Code, Section 6965b. 

The following policies currently apply to midshipmen who enter the Na\'al 

Academy directly from a civilian status: 

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

third classman who is separated, or whose resignation 1s accepted, will be 

discharged from the naval service. 

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

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

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

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

(after commencing the second class academic year) or a first classman who 

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

to Serve detailed m the precedmg section 111mI be transferred to the Na\·al or 

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

duty, as provided by Title 10, U.S. Code Section 6965b, for not less than two 

years, except 1n those cases where the midshipman 1s physically disqualified, 

unfit, or unsuited for military ser\'ice in an enlisted status. 

This authority is implemented as follows: Midshipmen who are separated 

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

but prior to the start of iirst class academic year will !>en·e two years. After 

the start of first class academic year the obligation is three years. If a 

midshipman graduates but refuses a commission, the obligation is four vears. 

A midshipman entering the Na\'al Academy from the regular or reserve 

component of the Navy or Manne Corps, including midshipmen entering 

from the Naval Academy Preparatory School, will not have his'her enlistment 

or period of obligated sen•ice terminated because of the acceptance of a 

midshipmen appointment If such a m1dsh1pman 1s separated from the 

Academv or has a resignation accepted prior to fulfilling the Agreement to 

Serve detailed m the preceding section, the midshipman will resume enlisted 

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

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

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

is counted as sen'ice under that enlistment or period of obligated sen1ice. 

However, completion or partial completion of service obligation acquired by 

prior enlistment in no way exempts a separated or resigned midshipman 

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

the same as a m1dsh1pman who enters the Academy directly from a ci\'ihan 

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

A m1Jshipman who either voluntarily or through misconduct fails tt) 

complete the active duty obligation imposed, either as a result or his 

commissioning (five years), or as a result of disenrollment (not more than 

lour \'ears) may be required to reimburse the United States for the cost of 

education received at the Naval Academy. The cost or education is computed 

by the Naval Academy and includes the costs of professors' salaries, supplies, 

and other expenses. It is comparable to the tuition at a first rate private 

civilian university. 

The amount to be reimbursed vanes proportionally with the period of

unserved obligation. Jf a former midshipman serves none of the active 

obligation, voluntarily or through misconduct, he or she may be required to 

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

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

proporl1onally.

should be emphasized that most physically qualified women 

ma) expect to be commissioned in the line upon graduation 

from the Naval Academy. 

Other women graduates, including those not physically 

qualified for a !me commission, have the opportunity to 

be commissioned in such restricted line or staff communities as the Supply Corps, the Civil Engineer Corps, the 

mtell1gence community, etc. As is the case with men, 

opportunities available to women at graduation are subject

A. From 23 lo 38 percent (dependmg on the major 

selected) of the Academv's curriculum is devoted to professional military studies, but at the Academy you will 

complete at least 140 rather than the 120 semester hours 

typical of most civilian colleges. There are many academic 

majors offered, from English to mathematics to physics to 

electrical engineering. Advanced research projects are offered in these and many other areas. 

Q. Whnt pnrl of the 111ed1cn/ ex11111111ntw11 gives the most

However, a limited number of outstancling candidates may 

be granted waivers for nsual acuity 1f the refractive error 

is not excessive and their vision is correctable to 20, 20. If 

within waiverable limits, and otherwise fulJv qualified for 

admission, you will be considered 1111/oma/1c11/ly, based on 

~-our twerall record, for a \\ aiver by the Academy's Admissions Board Since onl) a limited number of nominees 

mav be granted a medical waiver, the competition for the 

a,·ailable waivers is keen. It should be noted that nil 

nominees \\'lthin waiverable limits (and otherwise fullv 

qualified), 111clud111g principal nominees of members of 

Congress, must compete for these waivers. 

Q. I do11·1 like ,ports. Do I lull'~ lo lrlf 0111 for 11m1t/1111s? 

A . If vou realh· dislike sports, then the Naval Academ\ 

may not be the best school for ~-au. A m1dsh1pman is 

required to participate in athletics, either varsity or intramural, for the de\·elopmenl of character, phvsical fitness, 

and competitive spirit.

A. About eight percent of each entenng class eventually

Q. Do I get to choose n11_11 of 11111 coul'ses.7 

A . Yes, you will choose your ma1or and the majority of 

your courses. The great ma1ority of midshipmen get their 

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

better meet the future needs of the Navy, midshipmen 

must accept their second choice. The Navy requires at 

least 80 percent ot our midshipmen to pursue engineering 

or science-oriented majors--a quota which we have had 

no trouble meeting voluntarily in recent years. 

Q . How much social hfe would I have nt the Academy? 

A. Social life is very limited during the fi rst year. After 

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

becomes available. In addition to weekend dances and 

other extracurricular activities at the Academy, there are 

opportunities for afternoon liberties in town and for a 

number of weekends away from the Academy

the senior year, this is not advised since most members of 

Congress will have selected their nominees by this time. 

Q. What 1s my 111i/itary obligatw11 011 graduation? 

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

be on active duty as a commissioned officer in the Navy 

or Marine Corps. 

Q. Does tire Naval Academy have a pre-law major' 

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

better plan to attend a civilian college offering pre-law 

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

Naval Academy graduates may apply for the Navy's law 

education program after hvo years of commissioned service. This is a 11ery limited program, however, with only 25 

~ officers selected from the entire Navy and Manne Corps 

each year. Officers not selected are required to continue 

their careers as line officers 

Q. Mv father wns III the armed forces. Will this help me to get

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

considered for nommahon under the Presidential category.

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

enlisted, is accepted into the Navy whose pattern of drug 

involvement indicates dependency, or who has a record 

of drug-trafficking offenses. All Induction Day physicals 

at the Naval Academv include a urinalysis testing for 

evidence of use of marijuana or other unauthorized drugs. 

This provides an informative data base and enables explicit 

counseling to be provided for those who need it. Illicit 

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

made on their bme by the military and professional aspects 

of the training at Annapolis. Some, apparentlv, were 

expecting more of a relaxed, college-type NROTC program 

than the regimen of a service academy. 

Q. As a mnle grnd11nle, whnl are 1111/ career ch01ces 011 grndu11t1011? 

A . During the second semester of the senior year, midshipmen found medically qualified for commissioning as 

line officers choose from 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 piloUaviation officer training). 

Additionally, up to five highly qualified graduates may be 

selected for the Navy Engineering Duty officer specialty. 

Those not medically qualified for line duties are commissioned in the staff corps or the restricted line See First 

Duty, page 62. (Women: Also see Assignments for Women 

Officers, page 61, and Q & A, page 83 ). 

Q . How do I npply mid what nre my chances of get1111g 11110 

the Naval Acnde11111 Preparatory School? 

A. Whether you are military or civilian, no application is 

necessary. You will be considered automatically by the 

Naval Academy's Admissions Board, based on your record, 

in the event you are unsuccessful in being selected for an 

appointment to the Naval Academy. 

Q. ls /here a Nnval Academy represe11/ntwe near my ho111e

A. There are more than 1,500 Naval Academy Information 

Officers available for counseling throughout the countrv. 

See appendix E for your nearest State, Area Coordinator. 

Q. Sen duty aboard n Navy sl11p sou11ds romnntic, challe11g111g, 

and all that, but how about f11111ily life? Family separations? 

A . Tough questions! A lot depends on you. On your 

marriage. On the way your family looks at the Navy 

looks at your career. The plusses and the minuses. After 

you try it for awhile. 

Most good marriages prosper in the Navy Some may 

even be made better . . Navy families are a close, loyal, 

and proud group. But it's certainly no cind1. Family 

separation ca11 be a ma1or problem, and it is frequently 

cited by those who elect to leave the Naval Service. 

Sorrv. No crystal ball. That's about all we can tell you 

right now. You may, however, gain some additional 

perspective by reading the following e,cerpts from an 

article by columnist Eric Smith which appeared in Annapolis' Evening Capital of 27 May 1981: 
The Toss of a Hat Begins an 

Uncertain Future 

My midshipman becomes a naval officer today. 

The moment the white hat he hurls into the sky 

over the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium hits 

the ground, he will ha,·e begun the greatest adventure 

of his life 

I've never known any mids personally before, but 

when this young man became engaged to my niece, 

I sort of evolved into an unofficial civilian "sponsor" 

for him. \Ve ha,·e fixed my lawn mower together, 

shared many meals, and plaved on the same volleyball 

team, but we won't see much of each other in the 

next few years because he's going on a JOUrney now 

that he can onlv make alone ... 

My niece is gmng to be his wife, and 1l 1s hard lo 

accept that this bright young girl I knew as an infant 

will be facing a lot of fear and loneliness 111 the near 

future. 

Vihile her new husband learns how lo pull a 1et 

trainer out of a power dive over Pensacola, and the 

proper way to bounce a plane onto the heaving deck 

of an aircraft carrier, she will have lo learn to close 

her mind to the kind of uncertainty wives of 9 to 5 

commuters never know. 

They will both learn to li,·e with frequent moves 

and long separations ... they'll also get to see a lot 

of places together Some of them will be only hot 

strips of north Florida beach and drydocks Ill Norfolk, 

but some of them may be Hawaiian islands or white 

,·illages on the Mediterranean Sea 

There shouldn't be any protest at the stadium 

toda,·. Hair is shorter, the war is over, and the military 

profession 1s no longer dishonorable. l he war he will 

have to fight, ii one comes, will be for different 

reasons and in other places. 

As the vears pass, this young couple might become 

a little isolated from me, because I am a civilian and 

the~ are now encased in a separate martial culturethe ultimate measure of which is not a big salary or 

a new house, but success in war. It's easv to forget 

that cold fact Ill all the hoopla and hijinks of Comm1ss1onmg Week. These are not stockbrokers or 

salesmen here-the, are pulling gold braid on their 

slee,·es to represent a profess10n dedicated, 1f 1t 

becomes necessarv .. 

And that is why, in the midst of the parlies and 

happy sendoffs, I am going to start to worry about 

my niece and my midshipman. 

I kn01, what 11 1s like tu be a military newlvwed, 

because I was one myself I remember h~ving to leave

I am gomg lo worrv about them a lot on'r the 

coming vears, but there will be nothing I can do about 

1t. All I can do 1s hope 

When he marries mv niece in September, I guess

CHAPTER VI 

The Curriculum Challenge 

Young men and women entering the Na\'al Academv can be confident 

tha t the professional education and training rece1\'ed at Annapolis 

will give them the knowledge and skills that thev will need to perform 

their future military duties effectively. The de\·elopment of professional 

officers has been central to the ob1ectives of the Na\'al Academy since its 

founding over 135 years ago. It is today. But today's Na\'al 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 demand111g, and its many choices are designed to challenge 

each midshipman's academic aptitudes and interests. 

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

all the qualifications and specialties desired or needed 111 a naval career. 

Today's Naval Academy, therefore, does not seek to gi.-e the same allmclusive educational package to every graduate. Rather, it undertakes to 

produce in every graduatmg class a group of 1lld1v1dual hne officers--all 

thoroughlv educated at the baccalaureate level and well trallled in basic 

protess,onal subiects. 

Each midshipman must satisfv certam minimum course requirements lll 

mathematics and science and in the sooal sciences and the humantttes. 

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

designed to provide them with the academic background necessan tor 

effective leadership in todav's Na\'y or Marine Corps. Consistent \\'1th the 

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

percent of the midshipmen major in one of the engineering, math, or scienceoriented d1scipl111es. The remaining midshipmen ma~ ma1or in the humanities 

or social sciences. 

The Navy has an ever-increaslllg need for officers educated 111 the engineenng d1sc1plines and thus offers extensi\'l! opporlunil1es tn its officers tor 

graduate work and career specialties or subspec1alties 111 engineering programs. Seven engineering majors offered bv the '\!aval Academv lead lo 

designated degrees accredited bv the Accrcd1lalion Board for Engineering 

and Tech nology (ABET). 

Choosing a Major 

A midshipmen's choice uf maior go\'ern~ the number of related and supporttng 

courses required in science, engineering, m,1themalics, or foreign languages. 

Ma1ors in the sCientific-lechnical field~ enlatl more rnurses, al higher le\'cls, 

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

the other hand, programs in social sciences 1nternat1onal studies, and English 

do require foreign language study, yet these programs also include four 

semesters of mathematics, one ,·e,ir oi chemistry, and a year of physics 

Some plebes are -;ure ol their stud,· preferences and their academic aptitudes 

when they first arrive at the Academy. Howel'er, midshipmen are not 

nom,ally read:, to make a firm selection of their ma1or at the beginning of 

plebe year The,· ma,· have a general idea ol the area ol interest, without 

being sure of which ma1or the, should take Thev ma, not \'Cl know whether 

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

they mav verl' well discover that their real interests and abilities do not fit 

the requirements of the major fields thev lirst .:onsidered. 

For these reasons, selection of a ma1or· 1s dela\'ed until near the end of

The Common Plebe Year 

During the first year at the Na,·al Academy, each m1dsh1pman is placed in 

a program of study at a level suited to abilitv and academic background. 

These courses are broad enough in scope to provide a sound basis for the 

selection of a maior during the latter part oi the year. Al the same time they 

contain an element of commonalilv which enables the midshipman to progress 

into any of the ma1ors offered. Thev 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 ITUdshipmen 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, which 

analyzes the We~tern cultural heritage. In the first semester, students examine 

the development of the Western value system from the ancient world through 

the French Revolution. The second semester's study begins with the American 

Revolutton and concludes with the present day. A fuller understanding of 

the progress of Western culture 1s made possible by incorporating literature, 

art, architecture, music and other cultural expressions into this course of 

study. 

Mathematics. A full year ol calculu5 provides the requisite mathematical 

foundation for further studv 1n the various majors. M1dsh1pmen are placed 

in a sequence appropriate to their background and ability.

Writing, Rhetoric, and Literature. These courses are designed to develop 

primary tools for further education and professional development. Includes 

,ntensive practice in a variety of writing techniques, critical thinking, and 

reading 

Chemistry. A full year of studv is required in this basic disciplme. Midshipmen 

are placed in course sequences of varying difficulty depending upon their 

ability and background. 

Computer Science. Each midshipman receives a one-semester introduction 

to the use of the computer during plebe year. Computers are becoming 

increas,ngly important in virtually every aspect of the modern navy, and 

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

Academy courses. 

Leadership. This introductorv course is designed lo instill in rrudshipmen a 

professional sense of purpose and personal honor, those military leadership 

trails and techniques which will ,nsure credibility in the communication of 

their ideas and commands, and an appreciation for individual and organizational factors which influence their performance as leaders. 

Advanced Placement 

Prior to entering the \Java! Academy, man) midshipmen take courses 

equivalent lo those offered or required here. \Ve consider one or more of the 

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

exam,nat1ons given bv the appropriate academJC departments, transcripts, 

and results of College Entrance E>,amination Board Achievement Tests and 

Advanced Placement Tests, if available. Validators of anv of the plebe courses 

may be enrolled in more advanced courses dunng plebe ,·ear, if they desire, 

or the, mav elect lo carrv a lighter academic load. Over half of the members 

of plebe class validate at least one course 

Counseling and Guidance 

/\lidsh1pmen are responsible not only for deciding upon their major, but also 

for selecting specific courses and planning their semester schedules. They 

mav thus set, "'ithin certa,n limits. the pace of studies to match their 

capab1hl!es. An average student, for example, will likeh- take sequential 

courses as the, are laid out for normal progress in a given major program. 

If read,· for advanced placement in some sub1ects, or able to handle more 

than the standard number ol courses the midshipman mav complete the 

requirements more rapid!\ and gain lime for more elective courses. Some 

midshipmen ma_v even complete second ma1ors. 

Although decisions regarding their academic program must be the1r own, 

midshipmen have ample opportunities for consultation with facult,· members. 

During the ltrsl few weeh.s al !he Na,·al .-\cadenn, thcv recei,:e about 20 

hours of group and ind!\ 1dual wunseltng on all aspects of the curriculum. 

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

at which studies should begin. 

Temporarv academic advisers are assigned to the fourth class m1dsh1pmen

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

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

aLadem1c problems encountered from plebe year through graduation. 

Nuclear Propulsion Training Program 

Midshipmen ha\·e the opporturnty lo apply in their se111or vear for training 

m nuclear propulswn following graduation. Candidates selected undertake 

si, months stud) at the \/uclear Power School, Orlando, Fla , followed by 

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

New York, or Connecticut Because of the needs of the service, selectees may 

mdude a few midshipmen who did not have nuclear propulsion training as 

their first choice of duties. Completion of the year's tra inmg leads to 

assignment in a nuclear powered surface ship or submanne, the choice being 

the indi\'idual's. Midshipmen who aspire to duty in one of these exciting 

ships ..:an acquire a strong foundation by majoring in engmeering, science, 

ur mathematics. Jud1c10us choice of electi\'e courses in the scientific/technical 

area and energetic application to the entire academic program impro\'e the 

humanities ma1or's chances for selection mto the program. 

Professional Course Requirements 

/\ series of protL•ssmnal courses 1s required for the Bachelor of Science degree. 

In addition tu providing the professional background required of officers 

dunng their first fe" years m the Fleet or the Marine Corps, these courses 

contnbute tu more effecti\'e summer traimng with the Fleet as midshipmen 

Bl'cause the professional courses required subsequent to plebe vear var)' 

slightly, depend mg on the maiors program being followed, these requirements 

are specified with descriptions of the \·arious majors beginning on page 105. 

Distribution Requirements 

To assure a broad gl'neral educatwn and to pronde a sound background for 

lurthl'r stud, in selected ma1ors, midshipmen must salisfy certain distribution 

requirements m the humanities. social sciences mathematJCs, science, and a 

modern language. These requirements are specified under the requirements 

for each ma1or (chapter 7) 

Academic Organization 

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

nrg,mized into four d1,·isions-the Di\'1s1ons oi Engineenng and \'\'eapons, 

J\lathematics and Science, U S. and lnternalional Studies, and English and 

H1ston·-each headed bv a '\.a\'\ captain or Manne colonel A fifth major 

academic area, the Di\'ision ot Professional De\·elopment, is under the 

cognizance of the Commandant of l\hdsh1pmen The dinsions are further 

subdi\'ided into academic departments 17 m all which sen·e as focal points

and devt."lnpment of the curriculum. The departnwnts are chaired bv civilian 

or militan members of the facult\'. · 
The Nimitz Library 

1 he Nimitz Library, completed in 1973, provides m1dsh1pmen and faculty 

with comprehensive library scrnce 111 support of the curriculum, research, 

and recreational readmg. A representative book collection is ma,ntamed 111 

pertinent fields of knowledge, and the librarv is especiallv strong in naval 

science and history. In addition, the excellent resources of the libraries 1n the 

\Vashington and Baltimore areas are available to midshipmen and faculty. 

The librarv contains some 500,000 volumes and accommodates between 

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

carrels, and lounge furniture. Included in the building are semmar, faculty 

and group-stud, rooms, typing and calculating rooms, audio and video 

carrels, and a computer ten111nal room.

Academic Computing Facilities 

The Naval Academy 1s nationally recognized for its use of computers in 

education and has one of the most modern and extensive time-shared 

multi-computer systems to be found al any college or unive rsity in America. 

Here, similar to a library, lhe computer is recognized as an essential 

educa tional resource for broad usage by midshipmen. Over four hundred 

remote computer terminals, 111duding color graphics, are located throughout 

the Academy in areas convenient to midshipmen and faculty. They are 

accessible from 8 a.m. until midnight seven days a week. A wide variety of 

useful computer languages is offered such as BASIC, PLI, FORTRAN, 

ALGOL, COBOL, APL, and many others. Courses in virtually every academic 

department reflect 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 (ERC), located within the Nimitz Library 

building, provides a broad range of services. Functioning as the Academy's 

central audiovisual control point, ERC is responsible for procurement, 

administration, and maintenance of virtually all audiovisual hardware and 

software It 1s responsible for production and distribution of closed circuit 

TY programmmg over the Academy's 12-channel system. There is a lending 

library of educational video tapes and films, an audiovisual equipment loan 

pool. and a graphic arts stud10. Video cassette programs are available in an 

aud1onsual room as remedial and tutorial tools. ERC pro,·ides operational 

and mamtenance assistance for the Academy's language studies audio 

laboratory as well as administrative control of the majority of training devices 

assigned to the Na,·al Academy. 

Trident Scholars 

Under the Trident Scholar program, initiated 111 1963. a limited number of 

except10nally capable midshipmen are selected to 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 1•ear. Scholars are assisted in their pro1ects by 

one or more ianilty advisers who are well acquainted with the field of study 

Grading 

The Naval Academy emplovs 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 -1-.0, 3.0, '.! 0, 1.0, and 0.0 respectivelv 

Grades are averaged, using a weighted semester-hour svstem called a 

Quality Point Rating (QPR). The QPR is computed bv mult1plving the QPE 

corresponding lo the letter grade recei\ ed in each course b1 the semester 

hours of credit for the course, then dividing the sum of the~e products bv 

the total number of semester hours represented bv all the courses taken. A 

semester QPR (SQPR) is computed 011l1 tor courses taken dunng a gi,·en

Marine Engineering Major 

This ABET-accredited ma1or 1s concerned with the analysis and design of energy 

systems. Students completing this program can expect lo continue their education 

in the Navy's Nuclear Power Program or in graduate school 

A broad background in engineenng fundamentals is provided students, who 

then apply these principles in their studies of energy systems. These include 

conventional steam and nuclear power plants, gas turbmes, and such advanced 

power systems as fuel cells and thermoelectric umts. 

A course covering the principles of naval engineering svstems develops an 

understanding of the principles of ship design and construction and introduces 

students lo the problems of analv.cing and designing systems for use in the ocean 

en\'lronment. Phvsics prepares the student for the reactor physics and reactor 

engmeenng courses. Studies in heat transfer-so essential in the study of modern 

energy system&-follow Knowledge gained from these studies is then used in the 

ana!\·sis of manne propulsion plants and in group designs of future propulsion 

svsten1s 

Past designs bv 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

CHAPTER VIII 

Professional Training Courses 

The overall program at the 'Java! Academy 1s 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 

specialities 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 na, al service and the fostering of high personal 

standards are ma1or aims of our program. 

Professional development of midshipmen 1s 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 oi professionally oriented classroom studies (in all, 15 courses duting 

the four years) and of drills and practical training conducted at the Academy 

during the academic vear, as well as of prolessional trai111ng conducted 

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

are instruclton and training in na,·igation, seamanship and tactics, naval 

engineering, na,·al 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 

curriculum m determining a midshipman', class standing at graduation. 

A summary of the l\'aval Academy's program fur the professional development of midshipmen follows·

CHAPTER IX 

Varsity and Intramural Athletics 

J usl as the Naval Academy has a responsibilil) for the professional and 

intellectual development of midshipmen, so, also, must il fulfill its 

responsibility for each m1dsh1pman's physical development. This responsibility 1s met through our mtercollegiate sports program-with 22 

men's and 8 women's varsity learns, one of the broadest 111 the nation-and 

an equally ambitious intramural program. All midshipmen are required lo 

participate in these programs, either at the varsity or intramural level. 

The late John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a World \•Var II naval officer who rose 

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

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

of us who love football fully appreciate its great lesson: that ded1cal10n, 

discipline, and teamwork are necessarr We take il for granted that the 

players will spare no sacrifice lo become alert, strong, and skilled, that they 

wtll give their best on the held. This 1s as 1t should be, and we must never 

expect Jess, but I am extremely anxious that its implications not be Jost upon 

us." 

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

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

W!ll1am P. Lawrence, past Superintendent of the Naval Academy and a 

three-sport varsit) athlete as a member of the Academv's Class of I 951, 

became the 23rd recipient of the National Football Foundation and Hall ol 

Fame's Gold Medal Award in 1979 for "his significant contributions lo college 

football and his inspirational leadership throughout his adult life which has 

embodied the highest ideals for which the game ot fool ball stands." Pre\'lous 

rcc1p1ents of this prestigious award have included Presidents Kennedy nnd 

Eisenhower, General Douglas McArthur, and Supreme Court Justice Bvron 

\\ hile. 

the exploits of Navy teams in compel!Uve athletics are well-chronicled 

Over the years, midshipmen have can cd a reputatmn for excellence throughout the sports spectrum from football to fencing, sailing lo squash, and golf 

to g) mnastics. T\\'O Navy football plavers-halfback Joe Belltno and quarterback Roger Staubach-won the I leisman Trophv, the college gridiron's 

most covl'ted individual prize, within a period of four vears During lhe 

1981 -82 season, 33 ot our \'arsit, athletes received All-American recog11111on 

·1 hese ranged trom ftrsl team selection to honorable mentmn and included 

selection lo Academic All-America teams. 

Football al the Na\'al Academ) dates from 1879, just ten vears after RL1lgers 

and Princeton introduced the sport al '\!ew Brunswick. The 1rndsh1pmen

and Liberty Bowls, including three bowls in a recent four-vear period. Of 

course, nothmg better symbolizes the Naval Academy athlehc program than 

the Armv-Navv football game, a sports event in the same galaxy as the World 

Series, the Kentuck~ DerbL and the Rose Bowl. 

l'\an heavyweight crews captured the Olympic gold medal for eight-oared 

shells at Antwerp, Belgium in 1920, and 111 Helsinki, Finland in 1952. A 

former Nm·y oarsman-Alan 8. Shepard-was America's first man in space. 

In 1982, \fa\ \.,s heavyweight ere\\' won the Rowe Trophy at the Eastern 

Sprints and the Jim Ten Eyck Troph) at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association 

Championships This was the first time since 1962 that one school has 

captured both of these trophies 111 the same vear. Other prestigious Navy 

heavyweight crew accomplishments 111 1982 111cluded winning the Head-ofthe Charles Regatta (third consecutive year) and winn111g the Head-of-the 

Schuylk1ll Regatta (4th time in past 5 \·ears), 

In the m1d-b0's the Na\')' soccer team did not dmp a regular season contest 

over a six-year, 48-game span. And from 1960-67, the Na\·y lacrosse team 

reeled oil a record eight consecutive national championships. Thev \\'On 

again 111 1970, and "·ere runners-up in 1975. In 1976, a \1al'al Academy 

graduate, Capta111 Llo\'d Keaser, US,\ IC, was an Oll'mp1C sill'er medalist 111 

wrestling, Academy pistol teams have \\'Oil national intercollegiate titles for 

the past se\·en \'ears. A member of the Class of 1984, Leo \\'illiams, has won 

the high jump in each of the past t\\'O years at the indoor championships 

meets of the Heptagonals Games Association, IC-!A, and l\ational Collegiate 

Athletic Assoc1allon (NCAA), selling a meet record each vear in the NCAA 

meet. 

The Na\·al Academ1 's sailing team pro\ ides midshipmen \\Ith opportunities 

to develop protessional leadership and seamanship skills through competition 

111 numerous mtercollegiate ,1nd private regattas. Competition ranges from 

smgle-handed Lasers to SO-tool ocean racers with a ere\\' of 14. The Acadenw 

sponsors many of these regattas, including the l\lcMillan Cup and the John 

F. Kenned1 f\lemorial Regattas in the ya\\ls. There are d111ghv regattas almost 

e\·er\' \\'eekend. For the past si, 1·ear~. the Naval Academ) has won the 

Fowle rroplw, emblematic of twer-all inlercolleg1ate sailing supremacy in 

Nl>rth Amenca, an unprecedented feat in this sport 

ATHLETICS 148 
There 1s enough \'ariet\' m Na\'y's intercollegiate lineup to satis(v virtually 

evervone's athletic tastes. In the (all, there 1s football, cross country, women's 

volleyball, soccer, ISO-pound football, water polo, and sailing. Winter is the 

most active time of vear with men's and women's basketball, men's and 

women's tencmg, gymnastics, pistol, riOe, squash, men's and women's 

swimmmg, men's and women's track, and wrestlmg The spring schedule 

includes baseball, heavyweight crew, lightweight crew, women's crew, golf, 

lacrosse, sailing, tennis, and men's and women's lrad. .. In addition to women's 

teams, women at the Academy arc encvuraged to trv l>Ut for, and participate 

with male midshipmen in all Naval Academy sponsored mtercolleg1ate sports 

except football, lacrosse, wre,;tling, and basketball. 

Army traditionally is Navy's top opponent, and the service rivals clash in 

a total of 20 varsity engagements during the academic year. Annapolis teams 

also face the perennial collegiate strongbovs in every sport-Notre Dame in 

football, Columbia and New ) ork University m fencmg, Lehigh 111 wrestling, 

I larvard and Pennsylvania in crew, and Johns Hopkins in lacrosse, to name 

a few. 

But perhaps even more a part of Annapolis life is the competition within 

the Brigade represented by the mtramural sports program. E"ery midshipman, 

with the except10n of varsill· athletes, must take part. Herc all can participate, 

each at a level appropriate to their individual athletic ability. Women may 

participate in all but the following Cl1mpany battalion-level sports: football, 

f1eldball, lacrosse, boxmg, rugbv, and wrestling \Vomen-onlv sports are

Administration, Staff, and Faculty 

The admJn1stration of the Naval Academv 1s 111 many respects analogous 

to that of a ch ilian college. A Board of Visitors performs the broad 

supervisory funcllons 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 Acadenw. He 1s assisted b, the Commandant of 

'v!idshipmen, a senior naval officer whose function is somewhat hke that of 

a dean of students; a civilian Academic Dean; and an administrative staff. 

The Superin tendent, the Commandant, the J\cadem1c Dean, and other senior 

members or the faculty comprise the AcademJC Board, which makes maior 

academic decis10ns and sets the academic standards for the Acadenl\ Mil1larv, 

professional. and physical training come under the Commandant. The 

Academic Dean heads the academic program 

Today's 600-man Naval Academ1 lacull, is an integrated group of officers 

and civilians in approximately equal numbers. The officers, rotated at intervals 

of about three years, provide a continumg input of new ideas and experience 

from the Fleet. The civilians provide a core of professional scholarship and 

leaching e:>.perience, as well as cont1nuil\ to the educational program 

The Board of Visitors 

Appointed annualh the Board or Visitors to the Academv consists of the 

chairman of the Committee on •\rmed Senxe~ of the L .S Senate or his 

des1gnee; three other members of the Senate designated bv the\ ice President 

of the Llnited States or the President l'r!' lt'111pMC of the Senate, two of whom 

are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the Scnatc, the chairman 

ol the Comm1tlec on Armed Sernces of the U.S !louse uf Rt!presentatives, 

nr his des1gnl'c; lour other members of the House of Representatives, two 

of whom are members of the Committee on \ppropriations ol the House of 

Rl•presentati,·es, and six persons designated by the !'resident of the Lnited 

Stales. 

The Board meets at least once, but usually twice, each ,·ear al the '\a,·al 

t\cdemy to inquire into the slilte of morale and discipline, the (urriculum, 

instruction, plwsical equipment, fiscal affairs, acadcmic methods, and related 

matters, and submits a written rcport of 1t~ action and its views and 

rl'commendat1cms to the President of the Urnted Stales.
