The United States Naval Academy Catalog 1974-75 

Annapolis, Maryland 
Mission 

To prepare young men 

morally, mentally, and physically 

to be professional officers 

in the naval service. 


It's Your Decision 

As a prospective candidate for Annapolis, you have a lot to think about 

and a lot of questions to ask. I don't have all the answers. No one does. 

I can, of course, assure you that we have a beautiful campus, that our 

faculty and facilities are first-rate, and that the choice of 27 majors we offer 

should include at least one in which you have a particular interest. 

I can also assure you that we will work hard at Annapolis to challenge you 

and to bring out the best in you-morally, mentally, physically-for 

the full four years. Make no mistake. We are here to help you make yourself 

into the best naval officer possible. We take this responsibility seriously. 

Life here isn't easy, and we don't pretend the Naval Academy is for every 

voung man. 

For many, the Naval Academy turns out to be the best step they ever took ... 

the start of a challenging way of life, the reward of service to their 

country, something to look back on with great pride and satisfaction, 

to cherish during many a quiet moment at sea. 

It is not all work here. Far from it. There are sports, dances, sailing, clubs, 

bands, dramatics, student publications, student government, Big Brothers, 

choirs, hobbies, cruises to Europe and the Far East-the full range, and then 

some, of the typical activities you would find on a civilian campus 

Please study this catalog carefully. We have tried to tell it like it is. 

The first chapter, in particular, should add to your perspective. If you have 

questions, let us have them. We want you to know as much as possible 

about the Naval Academy before making up your mind. 

It is your decision.

I. Why the Naval Academy? 

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

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

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

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

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

schools cannot? What will I get out of it in the long run? In short, why 

should I consider the Naval Academy in making my plans for the years 

ahead? The paragraphs below are an attempt to provide brief, objective 

answers to those questions. 

Service to Country 

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

Academy is to prepare young men to be professional officers in the Navy or 

Marine Corps. No one asks that you come to Annapolis with your mind made 

up that you want to be a career officer in the naval service. We do, however, 

ask that you come with the realization that you are being educated and 

trained for service to your nation. You should be ready and willing to complete the four year curriculum, to serve in a ship, aircraft squadron, or the 

Marine Corps for five years after graduation, and you should have an open 

mind as to your future after that five years. Dedication to this idea of service 

to your country must be high in your reasons for coming to Annapolis if you 

hope to succeed, and if you are to justify taking a 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. Since its founding in 1845, the 

Naval Academy has been dedicated to providing the best education for its 

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

years, the growing complexity of the Navy, both in its internal technology, 9 
10 

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

for the undergraduate education of its officers at Annapolis. The bedrock of 

today's Naval Academy education is still in the professional, seagoing, shipboard subjects required of each graduate. Beyond these, however, each midshipman may now choose to study any one of 26 majors, ranging from 

engineering through oceanography and mathematics on to history, economics, 

and international affairs. The needs of the Navy require that at least 70 

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

or mathematics majors. Other midshipmen major in the humanities or social 

sciences. Whatever your major, you will find yourself well prepared at graduation for your duties as a junior officer. 

Leadership Training 

The Naval Academy does much more than simply offer you a sound college education. Its program includes military training, physical training, and 

the inculcation of the ideals of the naval profession. The purpose of the overall program at Annapolis is to produce a self-confident leader who accepts 

his responsibilities both to the nation he serves and to the men he commands. 

This is not an easy goal and no one should come to the Naval Academy with 

the idea that the training program is a sort of spare-time adjunct to the educational program. It is all-encompassing and its activities pervade the fouryear course through all the months of the year. 

The plebe year at Annapolis is not easy. It is a year of development in a 

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

the process and you will learn to utilize time better than you ever have 

before. 

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

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

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

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

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

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 other institutions. 

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

worthwhile is ever easy. By the time you graduate, you will have developed 

your potentials of scholastic achievement, physical conditioning, and leadership ability to the best possible advantage. 
Travel and the Sea 

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

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

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

from Baltimore Whatever the month, you will usually see part of the Academy's fleet of nearly 100 small-craft sail and power-underway in the 

Severn River or on the Bay. 

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

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

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

you. Whatever your situation, you should not think seriously about Annapolis without also thinking about the sea 

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

ships of the Navy. After your plebe year, your youngster cruise will take you 

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

.to Kiel, Portsmouth, Rotterdam, and Copenhagen in Europe, while the Pacific 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Far East 

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

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

heart of the Annapolis program. 

Professionalism 

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

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

desire for service to country with which this chapter started. The midshipmen 

themselves have a good phrase they use when asked if a particular person 

should come to the Academy They say, "You have to want 1t" That really 

says it all. 

It's up to you. 11 

II. The Years 1845-1974 

Through the years 1845 to 1974, as the nation's responsibilities and need for 

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

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

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

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

professional leadership expected in the United States Navy. 

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

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

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

Commander Franklin Buchanan was the first Superintendent of the Naval 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

technical undergraduate program. 

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

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

serving as an instructor in the Department of Physics and Chemistry at the 13 
14 

Academy. Michelson continued his brilliant scientific work after leaving the 

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

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

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

work. Thus, it is nol surprising that the science wing of the Academy's recently-completed science and mathematics building complex is named Michelson Hall. 

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

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

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

Spruance, and Burke need little introduction. The successors and heirs to their 

greatness are midshipmen today. 

Following accreditation of the Naval Academy in 1<130 by the Association 

of American Universities, a Congressional law was passed in 1932 authorizing 
the Academy to confer the Bachelor of Science degree upon all graduates, 

beginning with the Class of 1931. In 1939, Congress authorized the awarding of the B.S. degree to all living graduates. The Middle States Association 

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

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

Academy-prepared en trance examinations. 

[n 1966, an Academic Advisory Board of distinguished Americans was 

appointed by the Secretary of the Navy to advise and counsel the Superintendent on academic matters. 

Yard and Facilities 

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

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

National Historic Site in 1963. Each year over one million visitors tour the 15 




20 

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

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

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

or Baltimore, Maryland. 

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

curriculum and the Fleet. The original ten acres have grown to today's 302 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4,200-man Brigade of Midshipmen and the families and friends of first classmen at graduation time, and the construction, with privately donated funds, 

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

renovation of Bancroft Hall was completed in 1965. 

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

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

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

finest traditions. 

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

plan is nearing completion. Key structures in this plan are the new science building, Michelson Hall, and the adjoining mathematics building, Chauvenet Hall. 

Both were completed in 1968. The 650,000-volume capacity Nimitz Library, 

overlooking the Severn, was completed in 1973. An adjacent engineering 

building and laboratory complex is scheduled for completion in 1975. A full 

range of facilities and services for student and faculty research, computeraided education, and educational television is being provided throughout the 

academic complex. All academic areas will be air-conditioned. 

During the past year, privately donated funds from friends and alumni have 

made it possible to build the Robert Crown Center, new waterfront headquarters for our sailing program, and an activity center (student union) 

which includes an indoor ice skating rink, a cafeteria, lounges, and game 

rooms. 

The center for daily living is Bancroft Hall, perhaps the largest dormitory 
complex in the world. Stretching over many acres, it houses the entire Brigade. 

All of the necessary basic facilities, as well as many for recreation, are found 

in Bancroft Hall. Press shops provide rapid service on midshipmen uniforms 

which the tailor shops keep fitted and repaired. There is a Steerage, or soda 

fountain. The midshipmen's store is the place to buy daily necessities and an 

occasional gift. There are small Protestant and Catholic chapels, with chaplains' offices adjoining. 

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

Wardroom. Here, midshipmen demonstrate their enthusiasm for the appetizing, freshly prepared meals by taking a 4,500-calorie daily diet in stride. 

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

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

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

Smoke Hall, and the activity center in Dahlgren Hall provide attractive 

settings for dances and other recreational activities. 

21 

III.Life at Annapolis 

Mission 

The Naval Academy is charged with the responsibility of preparing midshipmen for service as commissioned officers in the U. 5. Navy or Marine Corps. 

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

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

are imbued with the finest sense of duty, honor, and loyalty, and that they 

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

threefold mission that requires careful organization and a dear set of priorities. 

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

or varsity sports and other extracurricular activities. 

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

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

indoctrination visits and training at selected naval shore activities. Upon 

completion of the summer training program, upperclassmen enjoy an extended 

leave period. 

Organization 

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

the student body is organized into the Brigade of Midshipmen. The Commandant of Midshipmen, a rear admiral or a senior Navy captain, commands 23 
24 

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

loyalty; for providing military indoctrination and physical development; and 

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

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

carrying out these responsibilities the Commandant is assisted by an 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 Physical Education Department, the Dental 

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

the Brigade Officers. 

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

of Navy commander or Marine Corps lieutenant colonel; and 36 Company 

Officers composed of Navy lieutenants and lieutenant commanders and Marine 

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

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

application of sound techniques of leadership, counsel, and guidance, and, 

when required, corrective or disciplinary action, each midshipman is measured, 

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

Corps as a commissioned officer. 

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

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

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

and organizational unit for numerous competitive activities during the year. 

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

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

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

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

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

Years of Development 

The incoming midshipmen are officially designated midshipmen fourth class, 

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

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

senior year, midshipmen first class. 



' 

28 

Plebe Year. The new midshipman undergoes a comprehensive program of 

military training and indoctrination from his first day in early July until the 

end of his plebe year the following June. Demands upon him and upon his 

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

learns during this period that he is a learning subordinate, under close supervision and careful guidance. Plebe indoctrination is administered by midshipmen of the first class, assisted by the second classmen, and closely supervised 

by the Commandant and the Brigade Officers. 

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

other phases of midshipmen training and education, the system directly 

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

a basic understanding of military relationships and the military environment. 

I ts aim is to teach each plebe to: 

Exercise self-discipline, 

Organize his time and effort effectively, 

Perform efficiently under stress, 

Think and react quickly with good judgment, 

Exhibit an exemplary military bearing and appearance. 

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

up to the highest standards of character, honor, and morality. 

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

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

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

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

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

far behind. 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic 

skills in seamanship, navigation, and signaling. Infantry drill, firing an M-16 

rifle and .45 calibre pistol under the supervision of U. 5. Marines, sailing 

Navy yawls, and participating in a rigorous physical conditioning program 

make each midshipman a proudly versatile young man. Team spirit and the 

30 

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

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

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

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

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

dining and sailing with their sons, and the opportunity to meet the faculty 

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

new life as midshipmen in stride. 

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

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

paced by a demanding daily schedule ...

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

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

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

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

the Hudson, the cadets of West Point. 

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

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

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

32 

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

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

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

Easter weekend. 

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

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

Third Class Year. At the end of June \-Veek, the first year of intensive indoctrination is ended, and the new third classmen depart on two months of 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

exercises at general shipboard drills. 

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

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

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

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

Following the completion of academic study during third class year and 

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

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

professional studies at the Naval Academy and receive familiarization training 

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

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

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

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

Destroyer School and visits modern destroyers. Flight indoctrination in naval 

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

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

the techniques of vertical envelopment and amphibious assault, provided by 

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

summer's professional training.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

officers, and they assist in the training of the third classmen assigned to their 

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

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

during the summer. 

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

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

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

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

other aspects of ship-board life complete the summer's training with the Fleet. 

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

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

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

Barcelona, Cannes, Naples, and Athens in the Mediterranean; and Rotterdam, 

Kiel, Copenhagen, and Oslo in Northern Europe. 

The important responsibility assigned the first class in directing the Brigade of Midshipmen has been previously noted. Midshipmen officers, called 

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

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

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

each academic year increases the individual opportunity for this valuable 

leadership experience. The fourth, or June Week, set of stripers is selected by 

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

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

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

The Professional Training Program 

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

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

designed to provide graduates with a sound foundation in the fundamental 

specialized subjects and skills required of professional officers in the Navy or 

Marine Corps. 

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

graduation depends significantly on his professional training performance. 

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

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

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

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

making up the professional training program begins on page 133. 

leave and Privileges 

The amount of personal freedom and the privileges granted a midshipman 

vary directly with his seniority, his responsibility, and his performance. A 

first classman not only will have more responsibility in the administration 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

permitted to have dates on at least four weekends in addition to June Week. 

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

evenings, and on Sunday afternoons. In addition, second classmen rate liberty 35

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

completed for the day. 

Weekend liberty is granted to upperclassmen. Midshipmen third class 

may take two weekends each semester, second class midshipmen receive 

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

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

out the administrative functions of the Brigade. Additional weekends may 

be granted to midshipmen of the second and third classes for noteworthy 

academic performance or other individual achievements. 

CulturaJ Affairs Program 

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

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

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

nearby Washington and Baltimore. Field tnps throughout the academic year 

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

midshipmen and their guests. 

Physical Education 

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

Education Department makes a vital contribution to the physical development 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

soccer, rugby, gymnastics, crew, golf, tennis, squash racquets, swimming and 

track. 
The pace continues during the first academic ye,u. Instruction is given in 

swimming, boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, golf, personal conditioning, squash 

racquets, soccer, tennis, and vollevball In addition, midshipmen develop their 

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

strength, agility, swimming, boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, ,1nd during a mile 

run and on the obstacle course 

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

and its program, refer to chapter 8 

Medical and Dental Care 

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

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

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

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

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

Bethesda, Maryland. 

Legal Assistance 

M1dsh1pmen are provided professional legal advice and assistance for problems of a personal nature by the Legal Assistance Officer in his professional 

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

Building. 

Financial Advice 

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

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

and through individual counselling as needed. The Midshipmen Financial 

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

4] 

Religious Activities 

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

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

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

military leadership-both in and out of combat-which is essential to real 

effectiveness. This is the spiritual factor, the intangible thing we call moral 

courage. 

What is it that strengthens men in the daily battles of life? Where do they 

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

capable of decisions that disregard political or personal expediency? The 

answers to these questions vary widely among individuals who serve in the 

armed forces-there are perhaps as many answers as their are individual 

fighting men. 

An awareness of the diverse concerns and needs of their men both in the 

daily routine of life and in times of stress and danger is an essential dimension of the responsibility of being an officer. 1 t is a major reason why the 

Naval Academy has long had a program designed to produce an appreciation 

in its graduates of the spiritual and moral dimensions of military leadership. 

Attendance at religious services is optional. Midshipmen are encouraged to 

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

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

and that, in times of stress, their men will look to them for spiritual as well 

as professional guidance. The Naval Academy believes that future officers 

owe it to themselves and to their men to gain insights into the moral, ethical, 

and religious dimensions of leadership and, therefore, urges midshipmen to 

take full advantage of opportunities for worship and moral development. 

Some midshipmen prefer a service in the tradition of their own faith pursued at one of the many local churches in Annapolis. Others select the Academy's Protestant or Catholic chapel services which periodically feature nationally famous guest preachers and lecturers. Whatever the approach chosen 

by the individual, he is encouraged and provided many opportunities to seek 

the strength and inspiration that comes from friendship with God.

IV. The Naval Profession 

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

and men not only sail the seas but are also engaged in research from the 

tropics to the poles and into space, whose supersonic planes provided the 

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

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

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

whe.1 tales of valor are told. Though ours is a vastly complicated and technological Navy, the human being is, in the end, all-important. It is an organization which puts a high premium on leaders with vision, dedication, and 

ability. It 1s a Navy with a proud past and a promising future, broad enough 

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

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

graduate is ready to assume his responsibilities as an officer in the greatest 

Navy or Marine Corps in the World. 

First Duty 

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

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

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

him to the duty and locality he requests. 

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

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

thus, headed ultimately for command at sea. As a matter of policy the great 

maJority of graduates initially go to sea in a combatant-type surface shipi.e., aircraft carrier, cruiser, destroyer, or amphibious warfare ship. A certain 

percentage of the graduates may volunteer and be selected for warfare specialties or programs, such as aviation, nuclear power (either submarine or 

surface), and special warfare. 45 
46 

Prospective aviators go to sea with the Fleet for 6 to 15 months before 

entering flight training. Most of those selected for the nuclear power program 

go directly to nuclear power school following graduation; the others follow 

within a few months. Graduate programs leading to advanced degrees are 

available to a small number of new graduates. Normally these special programs will follow a short tour of sea duty. 

A maximum of 16 percent of Annapolis graduates may volunteer for appointment in the Marine Corps as second lieutenants. All must complete 

basic training before joining regular Marine units or commencing flight 

training. 

A small number are commissioned on graduation in the Civil Engineer 

Corps, or as engineering duty officers. The civil engineer designees, after a 

short tour in a public works or Seabee command, proceed to graduate studies 

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

several months' duration prior to their first operating assignments. The engineering duty officers (specialists in such fields as ship and aircraft design, 

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

on board ship before returning to graduate study. Those who have completed 

the bioscience major at the Academv (up to two percent of the class) commence four years of studies at medical school after which they begin careers 

as Navy medical officers. 

Officer Career Patterns 

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

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

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

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

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

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

generally exercised during assignments ashore. These sub-specialties include 

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

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

United States and overseas. 



50 

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

Marine Corps presents many faces to the world as he advances in seniority: 

professional sailor, Marine, aviator, engineer, scientist, administrator, educator, diplomat, Fleet commander His is not just a job, but a way of lifea career dedicated to the service of the United States and its people, carrying 

with it high professional prestige and opportunities for broad experience, a 

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

career for those with a zeal for strenuous living, patriotism, and dedication to 1 an ideal of real meaning, a meaning which can be translated into a lifetime 

of adventure and service in the Navy or Marine Corps of the United States. 

Officer Education and Training 

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

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

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

prepare himself for assignments of greater responsibility and professional 

attainment by acquiring practical experience ashore and afloat and through 

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

ability, 1mtiat1ve, energy, and resourcefulness, commensurate with logical 

career planning and execution. 

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

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

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

officer for higher responsibilities. This move toward graduate education begins 

before graduation for midshipmen who are selected for scholarships in civilian 

universities or for Navy-sponsored graduate programs. 

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

such fields as communications, weapons, antisubmarine warfare, damage 

control, electronics, and amphibious warfare. 

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

many qualified Naval Academy graduates may expect orders to graduate study 

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

officer's career. Senior war colleges, in particular, are noted for bringing officers 

up to date on problems of international import and for relating these problems 

to our global strategy. The officer who aspires to positions of high responsibility must, of necessity, continue to grow intellectually and thus he wiU be a 
student during all of his professional life. Appendix F pro\'ides a brief summary of graduate study opportunities offered by the Na\'y and Manne Corps. 

The e\'er-increasing importance of our Navy 1n defense of this country 

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

an unprecedented number of career opportunities for a na\'al or \farine 

Corps officer. Fleet and field operational experience continues to be an important constant in the career pattern, but the need for specialists tra111ed in 

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

expands at a rate that can be s<11isfied only by a commitment of the Navy to 

the concept of an educated officer This commitment has been made and reaffirmed at C\'ery level of leadership in the Department of the Navv A career 

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

51 

V. Admissions 

Each year, the Naval Academy selects approximately 1,350 young men for 

admission to the plebe (freshman) class. These young men come from every 

state in the Union and from backgrounds reflecting every facet of American 

life. The Naval Academy encourages this diversity and recognizes the value 

and promise of a Brigade enriched by a membership of men representing 

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

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

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

of 1977 included 146 (ten percent of the class) from racial minorities. 

Certain general eligibility requirements for candidates do exist. A candidate 

must be a male, at least 17 years of age, and he must not have passed his 

22nd birthday by 1 July in the year of admission. He must be unmarried and 

have no children and, except for limited quotas of foreign midshipmen specifically authorized by Congress, he must be a citizen of the United States. 

Meeting these requirements, an interested young man must then proceed 

to obtain a nomination, qualify medically and physically, and compete for 

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

SAT or ACT scores, recommendations from school officials, extracurricular 

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

aptitude and achievement, and physical fitness. Qualification for admission is 

based on consideration of all of the above factors. 

High School Program 

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

rigorous college program. The quality of the work is important. The great 

majority of young men accepted for admission to Annapolis come from the 

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

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

does not have rigid requirements concerning the subjects which must be 53 
54 

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

following subjects in their high school or prep school curriculum· 

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

language 2 years, Chemistry 1 year, Physics 1 year 

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

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

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

Tests 

Either the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Scholastic Aptitude 

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

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

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

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

considered in determining scholastic qualification for admission, they may be 

taken as late as May

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

Some congressmen and other authorized nominators use competitive examinations of the U 5. Civil Service Commission solely to assist them in 

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

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

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

Obtaining a Nomination 

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

as a midshipman. It is advisable to apply for nomination d11ring tlie spring 

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

evalua te candidates dunng the summer months and some nominate in early 

fall. Most candidates will be notified of their nomination by the end of January during their senior year. There are many sources of nomination and the 

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

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

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

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

personally. The candidate should apply directly to his two senators and to 

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

sample letter of application. 

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

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

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

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

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

1331 of Title 10, USC-retirement at age 60 for combined active and inactive service of at least 20 years). Application should be made by 15 December to the Superintendent, U. 5. Naval Academy (Attn: Candidate Guidance Office), Annapolis, Maryland 21402. See appendix A for a sample letter 

of application. 

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

President may have five midshipmen attending the Academy at any one time. 

He nominates ten for each vacancy. Application should be made by 1 September to the Office of the Vice President, Washington, D. C. 20501. 

55 
' 

56 

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

American Samoa. Residents should apply to the appropriate official. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

compete for ten appointments. 

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

Servicemen Missing in Action. Sons of armed forces members who were 

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

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

injuries, or disease; and sons of servicemen who are currently prisoners of war 

or missing in action, are eligible In addition, the sons of civilians who are 

currently in a POW or MIA status are also eligible. A maximum of 65 

appointees may be at the Academy at any one time. Applicants should write 

to the Superintendent, U. 5. Naval Academy (Attn: Candidate Guidance 

Office), Annapolis, Maryland 21402. 

Sons of Medal of Honor Winners. Applications should be made to the Superintendent, U. 5. Naval Academy (Attn: Candidate Guidance Office), Annapolis, Maryland 21402.

students sho11/d refer to apμe11rlix D. 

Congressional Nominating Procedures 

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

candidates. He may designate them as "principal," "1st alternate," "2nd 
alternate," and so on to "9th alternate"; he may nominate a principal and 

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

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

Academy for the vacancy. In all cases, the vacancy is filled by the top man 

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

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

qualified, it is possible that they all may be accepted for admission as qualified alternates or competitors. 

Admission of Qualified Alternates and Competitors 

Each year the Naval Academy admits several hundred qualified alternates and 

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

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

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

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

be considered automatically by the Academy's Admissions Board. 

Readmission of Former Midshipmen 

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

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

required for readmission of former midshipmen. Requests should be addressed 

to the Dean of Admissions. 

Medical Examination 

Applicants must pass a very thorough medical examination designed to ensure 

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

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

young men in good health and who have normal vision usually have little 

difficulty in passing the examination. Candidates should carefully review the 

detailed physical standards contained in appendix B. Candidates having less 

than 2.0/ 2.0 uncorrected vision and/ or having defective color vision should 

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

contact lenses must comply with special examination procedures. 

All physical examinations of candidates are conducted at designated Department of Defense medical examining centers. Examinations will be conducted 57 
58 

only for those candidates who have been officially scheduled by the Department of Defense Medical Review Board (DODMRB), a tri-service agency 

responsible for scheduling and evaluating examinations for all of the U. S. 

service academies. Congressional sponsors or (in the case of non-Congressional types of nominations) the Naval Academy will provide each new candidate with a franked Authorization for a Service Academy Medical Examination Card which is to be completed by the candidate and forwarded to the 

DODMRB. The board will schedule the examination at the examining center 

nearest the candidate's home. The candidate 11111st provide his Social Security 

number on the card. 

Notification of Qualification and Selection for Appointment 

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

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

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

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

Pay and Expenses 

The pay of the midshipman is S300.45 per month, commencing on the date of 

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

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

accrued savings of approximately $1,500.00 in his account in addition to his 

complete seabag of officer uniforms. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

$2,000. The deposit made at the time of entrance is supplemented by an entrance credit of $600 upon first admission to the Naval Academy. The $600 

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

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

the indebtedness is accomplished by monthly deductions of $40 from the

Service Obligation 

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

previously acquired a military obligation, will automatically do so upon 

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

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

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

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

Academy graduates as commissioned officers on active duty. 

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

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

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

a commission. (Act of 25 June 1956, 1-2, re-enacted 10 U. 5. Code 516.) 

Midshipmen in this category who are separated from the Naval Academyexcept for one of the two reasons given above-will have their appointments 

as midshipmen terminated and will immediately resume their enlisted status. 

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

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

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

obligated service. 

Agreement Signed by Entering Midshipmen 

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

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

if a minor, that he will fulfill these obligations: ' 

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

He will accept an appointment and serve as a commissioned officer on 

active duty in the U. 5. Navy or U. 5. Marine Corps for at least five years 

immediately after graduation. 
If authorized to resign from the Regular Navy before the sixth anniversary 

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

until the sixth anniversary. 

Resignations and Separations 

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

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

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

Second and first classmen: After the commencement of his second class 

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

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

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

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

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

be waived. 

A midshipman who is separated after having entered the Naval Academy 

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

former status under the appropriate statutory provisions. Completion or 

partial completion of a prior service obligation by a separated midshipman 

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

to a reserve component and call to active duty in accordance with Title 10, 

U. 5. Code 69596. 

Refusal to accept commission: Any first classman who completes the 

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

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

status and ordered to active duty for four years. 

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

terminal dates are established for their commissions. 

Pre-Annapolis Scholarship Assistance 

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

high school graduates to enhance their qualifications for admission to the 

Naval Academy. The Foundation is chartered for educational purposes under 61 
62 

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

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

fully supported by the Superintendent of the Naval Academy. 

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

scholarships annually to young men seeking admission to the Naval Academy 

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

scholarships are made to participating junior colleges and preparatory schools 

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

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

nominations. 

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

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

of later applications can be considered. 

Naval Academy Preparatory School 

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

has prepared servicemen for entry into the Naval Academy for over half a 

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

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

from the Naval Reserve. 

Applicants presently in a regular or reserve military status should apply 

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

including academic transcripts, the recommendations of their commanding 

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

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

promising and highly motivated of those civilian nominees who have indicated 

that they were interested in attending the Preparatory School in the event 

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

for the express purpose of attending the Preparatory School. Details concerning this program, including how to apply, are provided each candidate 

by the Naval Academy. 

The Preparatory School offers college preparatory work in mathematics, 

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

64 

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

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

and varsity sports programs complete the school's schedule. 

Precandidate Questionnaire 

Each applicant should submit a Precandidate Questionnaire to th.e Naval 

Academy in the spring of his Junior year, or as soon thereafter as practicable. 

The Academy will open the applicant's pre-admission file upon receipt of the 

questionnaire. Information gathered in this file will be used by the Academy 

to provide the applicant's Congressman with periodic status reports, including 

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

Congressional nomination. Precandidate Questionnaires should be requested 

from the Director of Candidate Guidance, U. 5. Naval Academy, Annapolis, 

Maryland 21402. 

Candidate Guidance 

The Candidate Guidance Office in Leahy HaJI at the Naval Academy provides counsel to young men who are interested in a career of naval service 

through Annapolis. This office also coordinates the nation-wide activities of 

some 1,300 selected Naval Reserve officers, not on active duty, and civilians 

who have been designated Naval Academy Information ("Blue and Gold") 

Officers. These officers are qualified to counsel you on all aspects of admission 

and are in close contact throughout the year with officials at Annapolis. Appendix E lists the State/ Area Coordinators of this program. [f, after reading 

this catalog, you have a question about the Academy or admission procedures, 

write to the coordinator nearest you or to:

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

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

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

Over the years 11 has been the experience of the Naval 

Academy that a great many misconceptions exist concerning admission procedures, methods of obtaining nominations, qualifications, and o ther factors pertaining to selection 

and admission. The following questions are those most 

often asked by prospective candidates and the answers 

may help you to clear up any doubts or misunderstandings 

you may have concerning this all-important subject. 

Q. IV/10 can become II midshrpn111n7 

A. Admission is open to young men of good moral character, withou t regard to race, creed or national ongin. 

Candidates must be male citizens of the United States, 

unmarried and having no children, who are at least I 7 years 

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

year of admission 

Q. W/111/ 11111st I do to become II midshipm1111? 

A. Obtain a nomination, qualify scholastically (acceptable entrance examination scores· either American College 

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

secondary school record, including college-preparatory 

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

and physical standards. Be selected for an appointment 

Q. Where may I ob/11111 det11ilC'd inform11tion on 11dmiss1on req1<1rements? 

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

guidance counselors, from your local Navy recruiter, from 

the West Coast Regional Candidate Guidance Office, NAS 

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

to the Candidate Guidance Office, U S Naval Academy, 

Annapolis, Maryland 21402. 

Q. I don't know my congressman. How do I get 11 

nom11111tion 7 

65 
66 

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

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

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

of his appointees attending the Academy at any one time. 

And each member is authorized to nominate up to ten 

candidates for each vacancy. The essential thing to remember is that, by law, you must have a nomination to be considered for appointment to the Naval Academy. Once you 

are nominated, you officially become a candidate and your 

record is then evaluated by the Naval Academy on its 

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

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

good school record and otherwise meet the basic entry 

standards, you will have an excellent chance to become a 

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

Naval Academy by the Secretary of the Navy to bring the 

entering class up to authorized strength. 

Q. I am a member of tl1e Naval Reserve. How can I get 

111to tlie Academy? A. A minimum of 85 enlisted reservists (Navy and Ma

-

rine Corps), on active duty or members of drilling units, 

may qualify to enter the Academy each year. See your 

commanding officer for details. 

Q. If I am eligible for botli Co11gressio11al and Presidential 11omi11atio11s, can I request nomination from more tlian 

one so1trce? 

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

obtain, the better chance you will have for selection if you are found fully qualified. Q. Is If diffirn/t to enter tl1e Academy directly from liigli 

scliool? 

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

high school or prep school. 

Q. My grndes were about nverage, b11t I plnyed in sev-
era/ sports and was student L,ody president. Also, I had to 

work after school. Will these activities l,elp me? A. Yes. Evidence of leadership ability and participation 

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

evaluation process. Q. I l1nve a high IQ and nm a straight-A student. Will 

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

take any electives, such as electrical engineering? A. From 23 to 38 percent (depending on the major selected) of the Academy'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 26 academic majors 

offered, from Far Eastern studies lo mathematics to electrical engineering. Advanced research proJects are offered in 

these and many other areas. Q. IVhat part of the medical examination gives the most 

diff,rnlty lo candidates? 

A. The eye examination. Visual acuity of 20/20 is required. However, a limited number of outstanding candidates may be granted waivers for visual acuity if the refractive error is not excessive and the vision is correctable 

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

qualified for admission, you will be considered nilfomatically, based on your overall record, for a waiver by the 

Academv's Admissions Board. Since only a very limited 

number of nominees may be granted a medical waiver, the 

competition for the available waivers is very keen. It 

should be noted that nil nominees within waiverable limits 

(and otherwise fully qualified), including principal nominees of members of Congress, must compete for these 

waivers. 

Q. I don't like sports. Do I have to try 011t for anything? A. If vou really dislike sports, then the Naval Academy 

may not be the best school for you. A midshipman is re- 67 
68 

quired to participate in athletics, either varsity or intra-

mural, for the development of his character, physical fitness, and competitive spirit. 

Q. How m11ch does it cost to be a midshipman at the 

Acndemy? 

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

are provided by the government. In addition, midshipmen 

receive a monthly salary of $300.45 for uniforms, books, 

and personal needs. Salary and the value of the daily ration 

allowance (S1.78/day) accrue to a midshipman's pay account while he is on leave. A $300.00 deposit is required 

on entry 

Q. How often may I visit home? 

A. During Christmas and spring leaves. In addition, 

month-long summer leaves are granted to the three upper 

classes. You must pay for your own travel. 

Q. How many f11111k 011t? A. Losses run approximately 33% over the entire 4-year 

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

academic failures. 

Q. Do I get to fly? 

A. All midshipmen receive Aight indoctrination in naval 

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

Q. Do I get to clioose any of my courses? A. Yes, you will choose your major and the majority of 

your courses. The great majority of midshipmen get their 

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

better meet the future needs of the Navy, a midshipman 

must accept his second choice. 

Q. How 11111ch social life 10011/d I have at the Acndemy? 

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

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

ties available. There are weekend dances and other extra-
curricular activities at the Academy, and there are opportunities for afternoon liberties in town and for a number 

of weekends away from the Academy. 

Q. I nm a /1ig/1 school fres/11111111. Wlie,1 should I start 

prep,1ri11g myself fo,· the Acndemy? 

A. Now1 Your entire four-year high school record in 

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

Q. I 11111 in college now. Is 1t too late to enter the Acndemy? 

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

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

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

entering class have been in a civilian college prior to entering the Naval Academy. Q. If I failed to receive 1111 appointment for one class, am 

I e/1gi/,/e to apply again? 

A. Yes. But a candidate who failed to be selected for an 

appointment in a previous year must obtain a new nomination and complete the entire admissions process in order to 

again be considered for an appointment. Also, each year, a 

number of the most promising of the unsuccessful candidates are invited by the Naval Academy to enlist in the 

Naval Reserve for the express purpose of attending the 

Naval Academy Preparatory School. They then become 

eligible for a Secretary of the Navy nomination. 

Q. When should I npply? 

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

vour junior year in high school. Although a few apply as 

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

since most members of Congress will have selected their 

nominees by this time. 

Q. Wlrnt is my military obligntion on grnd11ation? 

A. The total military service obligation of an Academy 

69 
70 

graduate is six years. Current directives require five of 

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

Navy or Marine Corps. 

Q. Can I become a Navy physician or dentist? 

A. No. Although there was a limited program for premedical training at the Naval Academy in the past, recent 

Congressional legislation has directed that such programs 

be discontinued at all the service academies. If your primary interest is to be a Navy doctor or dentist, it is recommended that you attend a civilian college offering premedical studies. The Navy does have scholarship programs 

available to college seniors who have been accepted into an 

accredited medical school. 

Q. Does tire i\iaval Academy have a pre-law major? 

A. There is no pre-law program at the Naval Academy. 

The Na\'y obtains most of its law officers from civilian 

sources. 

Q. ,\fy fatlrer was in tl,e armed forCl'S. !Viii this lrelp me 

to gel a 110111i11atio11? 

A. Sons of career members of the regular and reserve 

forces who arc on ,Ktive duty or who are retired mav be 

considered for a nomination under the Presidential category 

Q . W/rat types of majors are offered at the Academy? 

A. The 26 majors offered by the Academy include 

analytical management, aerospace engineering, history, 

ocean engineering, English, European studies, physics, and 

many others. 

Q. vVl,ere do 111idshipmen live' 

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

more than 4.8 miles of corridors and 33 acres of Aoor 

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

been remodeled in recent years. The Midshipmen's Ward-
room is also located in Bancroft Hall. Here all 4,200 midshipmen are able to sit down and eat at one time. The food 

is served family style. Bancroft Hall is named after George 

Bancroft who was Secretary of the Navy when the Naval 

Academy was founded. The Hall contains a store, medical 

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

and numerous other facilities. 

Q. I h,me 11omi11atio11s to both the Naval Academy and 

t/1e Air Force Academy. ls it necessary that I 1111dergo two 

ninlical exam11111tio11s: 

A. No. A single Qualifying Medical Examination conducted at any of the military exami111ng centers designated 

by the Department of Defense Medical Review Board is 

acceptable for all service academies. 

Q. l·Vlrnt reasons are given most frequently by plebes 

w/10 resign from tlie Academy? 

A. We have found that resigning plebes most frequently 

say: 

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

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

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

They knew that the academic program was demanding, but 

they failed to realize the extent of the daily demands made 

on their time by the military and professional aspects of 

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

the regimen of a service academy. 

71 

VI• The Curriculum Challenge 

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

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

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

Naval Academy offers considerably more. As a professionally-oriented 

academic institution, it offers in-depth studies in 26 major programs The 

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

midshipman in terms of his own academic aptitudes and interests. 

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

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

educational package to every graduate. Rather, 1t undertakes to produce in 

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

basic professional subjects- who collectively possess the wide range of 

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

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

minimum course requirements in social sciences and humanities, mathematics 

and science. To ensure depth, he completes a major sequence from a variety 

of fields designed to provide him with the academic background necessary for 

effective leadership in today's Navy. Consistent with the Navy's technical 

orientation is the Academy's minimum goal of having 40 percent of the midshipmen major in one of the engineering disciplines and 30 percent in one of 

the physical sciences, math, or operations analysis. The remaining midshipmen would major in one of the humanities or social sciences, or in analytical 

management. 

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

All engineering majors offered by the Naval Academy, except engineering 73 
74 

physics and general engineering, are accredited by the Engineering Council 

for Professional Development and lead to designated engineering degrees. 

Choosing a Major 

A midshipman's choice of a ma1or governs the number of related and supporting courses he will require in science, engineering, mathematics, or foreign 

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

higher levels, in mathematics, sC1ence, and engineering, for example, than do 

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

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

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

but only three semesters of mathematics. 

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

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

plebe vear. He may have a general idea of his area of interest, without being 

sure of which major he should take. He may not yet know whether his 

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

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

requirements of the major fields he first considered. 

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

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

meaningful academic experience in fundamental courses which test his ability 

and help him to evaluate his strengths and weaknesses. 

The Common Plebe Year 

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

program of study suited to his abilities and academic background. These 

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

of a major during the latter part of the year. At the same time they contain 

an element of commonality which enables the midshipman to progress into 

any of the 26 majors offered. They include the naval science courses which 

start his professional development The normal academic load for a plebe 

consists of six courses each semester as follows.

• Offered al several levels depending on the background and academic ability of the midshipman In the case of Calculus I, the lowest level is a pre-calculus course, Sl\1005, for 

midshipmen whose academic background has not adequately prepared them for calculus. lt does not count as part of the minimum mathematics requirement. 

0 16 hours of classroom recitations per week; -4 hours of laboratory work per week; 18 

total semester hours credit. 

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

the midshipman with knowledge and skills for practical shipboard use during 

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

also serve as preparation for the professional courses and training which come 

during the next three years. 

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

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

power in world affairs. 

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

sequence appropriate to their backgrounds and ability. 

Composition and Literature. This is a general requirement designed to develop the skills in thinking, reading, and writing which are primary tools for 

further education and for professional development. Six different courses are 

offered to ensure that each midshipman gets training in communication skills 

at the level best suited to his needs and stage of development. 75 
76 

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

are placed in course sequences of varying difficulty depending upon their 

ability and background. 

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

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

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

Advanced Placement 

Prior to entering the Naval Academy, many midshipmen take courses equivalent to those offered or required here. Credit may be granted for this work 

through validation, a procedure based on examinations given by the appropriate academic departments; consideration of transcripts; and results of 

College Entrance Examination Board Achievement Tests and Advanced Placement Tests, if available. Validators of any of the plebe courses may be enrolled in more advanced courses during plebe year, if they desire, or they may 

elect to carry a lighter academic load. More than one-half of the members of 

a plebe class validate at least one course. 

Counseling and Guidance 

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

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

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

capabilities. If he is an average student, for example, he will likely take 

sequential courses as they are laid out for normal progress in a given major 

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

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

requirements more rapidly and gain time for more elective courses. Some midshipmen may even complete second majors. 

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

midshipman has ample opportunities for consultation with faculty members. 

During his first few weeks at the Naval Academy, he receives about 20 hours 

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

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

begin his studies. 

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

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

spring of plebe year. The midshipman's adviser, a faculty member from the 
department in which he has expressed a particular interest, will help him 

define his study objectives and will offer guidance towards a logical selection 

of courses. In addition to offering guidance in the selection of courses and 

in scheduling, the faculty adviser concerns himself with the midshipman's 

over-all academic progress and any academic problems he may have from 

plebe year through graduation. 

Nuclear Power Program 

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

training in nuclear propulsion upon graduation. Candidates selected undertake 

six months study in Nuclear Power School, Bainbridge, Md., or Vallejo, Cal., 

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

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

to assignment in a nuclear powered surface ship or submarine, the choice being the individual's. Midshipmen who aspire to duty in one of these exciting 

ships can acquire a strong foundation by majoring in engineering, science, or 

mathematics. Judicious choice of elective courses in the scientific/technical 

area and energetic application to the entire academic program improve the 

humanities or management major's chances for selection into the program. 

Each midshipman selected for nuclear propulsion training by the Director, 

Division of Naval Reactors, AEC, regardless of his major, takes one of several 

mathematics, science, or engineering courses the second semester of his senior 

year to enhance his preparation for Nuclear Power School (shown as NPP in 

the professional requirements listed with each major in the following chapter) 

Professional Course Requirements 

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

officer during his first few years in the Fleet or the Marine Corps, these 

courses contribute to more effective summer training with the Fleet. Because 

the professional courses required subsequent to plebe year vary slightly, depending on the majors program being followed, those requirements are 

specified with descriptions of the various majors beginning on page 85. 

Distribution Requirements 

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

further study in selected majors, midshipmen must satisfy certain distribution 

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

77 

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

various majors. 

Academic Organization 

The major areas under the direction of the Academic Dean are organi1ed into 

five divisions the Divisions of Engineering and Weapons, Mathematics and 

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

and English and History- each headed by a Navy captain. The divisions are 

further subdivided into departments, 19 in all, which serve as focal points 

for the administration of the majors program and for the continuing review 

and development of the curriculum. The departments are chaired by civilian 

or mihtarv members of the faculty 

The Nimitz Library 

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

members with comprehensive library service in support of the curriculum, 

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

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

Washington and Baltimore areas are available to midshipmen and faculty 

members. Anticipated developments in the library include the application of 

data processing and closed circuit television techniques to library routines in 

order to provide more modern and efficient service 

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

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

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

audio and video carrels, and a computer terminal room. The Naval Academy 

Archives, the Division of U. 5. and International Studies, the Educational Resources Center, and the Naval Academy Photographic Laboratory are also 

housed in the Nimitz Library 

Special Programs 

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

limited number of exceptionally capable midshipmen carry out independent 

research and study during their senior year. Each scholar has a reduced formal course load, since his research and thesis constitute the main part of his 

79 
80 

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

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

Grading 

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

denoting excellence; F, failing), which are in turn assigned a numerical Quality Point Equivalent (QPE) of 4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0 and 0.0 respectively. 

Grades are averaged, using a weighted semester-hour system called a Quality Point Rating (QPR). The QPR is computed by multiplying the QPE corresponding to the letter grade received in each course by the semester hours 

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

number of semester hours represented by all the courses taken. A semester 

QPR (SQPR) is computed only for courses taken during a given semester; 

a Cumulative QPR (CQPR) is maintained for each midshipman, and includes 

all academic marks assigned to date. 

An academic probation system provides warning for midshipmen who are 

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

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

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

placed on probation for the semester following any two consecutive semesters 

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

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

midshipmen whose mid-semester academic records are unsatisfactory. 

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

education, and for certain professional training conducted during the summer, are not included in the computation of QPR. Satisfactory perfonnance 

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

in determining class standing. 

A midshipman may be recommended for discharge by the Academic Board 

for failure of two courses in any one semester, falling behind two courses in a 

given major, failure to achieve a semester QPR of at least 1.5 for any given 

semester, and failure to fulfill probationary conditions prescribed by the 

Academic Board. 

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

midshipmen. The Superintendent's List honors midshipmen attaining a SQPR 

of at least 3.4 with no grade below C, and with grades of A in aptitude and 

conduct and B or better in physical education. Additional liberty is granted to 

midshipmen on the Superintendent's List. Called "star men," they proudly wear 
-

a gold star on the lapels of their uniforms. The Dean's List honors midshipmen with a minimum SQPR of 3.4 with no failure (''F'') in any academic 

course or other area, including professional studies, aptitude, conduct, and 

physical education. 

Graduation Requirements 

To qualify for graduation a midshipman must: 

(1) Meet required military-professional standards in professional studies and 

at-sea training;

All midshipmen who graduate are awarded the Bachelor of Science degree by 

the Superintendent upon the recommendation of the Commandant and the 

Academic Dean, as approved by the Academic Board. 

Residence 

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

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

courses have the opportunity to do additional advanced work, pursue independent study and research, complete the requirements of two majors, or 

study other subjects for self-improvement or of general interest. 
Schedule of Instruction 

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

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

instruction and one week of examinations. The normal academic routine provides for five-and-one-half days of classroom, laboratory, and study periods 

per week. Small classes, averaging 20 midshipmen, provide ample opportunity 

for active classroom participation by each midshipman and for individual 

attention to students on the part of the instructor.

Aerospace Engineering, an ECPD accredited major, involves the study of compressible and 

incompressible fluid flows, conventional and advanced propulsion systems, vehicle performance, stability and control, and modern structural mechanics. Jt deals primarily with 

the analysis and design of air cushion vehicles, aircraft and spacecraft. Basic principles 

and sound engineering techniques are stressed, 

The curriculum provides for various research projects and choice of a wide variety of 

electives. Throughout the program extensive use is made of laboratory facilities, which 

include a flight test aircraft and a small surf,1ce effect vehicle Computer techniques are 

emphasized for data reduction, design, and graphic display. 

A solid foundation is laid which permits postgraduate work in a number of fields. A 

Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering is awarded.

Marine Engineering Major 

This [CPD accredited maror is concerned w,th the ,malvsis and design of propulsion 

pow<:'r plant systems. It is nuclear engineering oriented Students completing this program 

can e,pect to continue their educ,1tion in the Navy~ NuclC'ar Power Program or in nuclear 

or marine engineering graduate studies. 

A broad background 111 engineering fundament,,Is is provided students, who then apply 
these principles in their studies of conventional steam ,1nd nuclecir po\\'er plants, gas 

turbines., and such advanced power systems as fuel cells and thermoelectric unils. 

A course covering the principles of naval engineering systems develops an understJnding of the principles of ship design and construction and introduces students to the 

problems of analyzing and designing systems for use in the ocean environment. Studies 

an modem physics prepare them for the reactor physics and reactor engineering courses. 

Studies in heat transfer-so essential in the study of modern propulsion power syslemsfollow. Knowledge gained from these studies is then used in the analysis of marine propulsion plants and in group designs of future propulsion systems. 

Past designs by students have included the concept design of a propulsion plant for a 

low water plane catamaran. preliminary design of a submarine \vaste disposal system, 

and the concept design of an offshore nuclear power plant. A Bachelor of Science in 

\,1arine fngineering is awarded.

Naval Architecture Major 

\:'aval architecture, an [CPD accredited major, unlike most engincrring disciplines unified 

by the natt1re of the phenomena involved, originally came into being as a disc:.iplinc becauc;c of a single end-product, the ship. A special combination of knowledge and experience is needed to develop. design, and build this single product Variety exists not only 

in the kinds of work (design, research, cost estimation, management, l'tc.}, but also in the 

types of craft 111volvcd from sail boats to aircralt carriers, from hydrofoil boats to 

catamarans, from submarines to air cushion vehicles. 

The naval architect uses both art and science in designing ships. Armed with 1m.igination and experience, he converts the owner's functional requirement~ into cl suitable costeffective design He analy,es and selects the best dimensions and hull form, he calculates 

the power rc,1uirements and estimates the weights oi the principal components. He designs 

,1nd analvzes the hull structure and decide~ on the location of military subsystems, 

machmer~· spaces, accommodations, and stores. Additionally, th<> ship must be divided 

into watertight compartments so thc1t, if dt1maged, the cht1nces of survival are maximum. 

\\"ei~hing and compromising all such connicting needs in the design of the ship are the 

n1:ative and challenging responsibilities of the naval ,uchitecl 93 
94 

:S:,wal architecture at the !\;aval Academy treats most of the preced,ng facets through a 

tully integrated program of classroom sessions, hands-on laboratory work, held trips, and 

the J,1tl'st in computer-~1i<ll"d design and analysis trchniques. A Bachelor of Scirnce in 

NtlV<ll Architc-dure 1s awardl·d upon SU((l'Ssful completion of the program.

Chemistry, an experimental science, is the most laboratory-oriented program offered at the 

Naval Academy. The undergraduate laboratory facilities of Michelson Hall are unexcelled. 

The serious student of chemistry has ample opportunity to experiment and observe as he 

pursues the scientific method. Laboratory equipment includes single-pan balances, gas 

chromatographs, mass spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, and nuclear magnetic resonance 

spectrometers. 

Any naval officer will profit from a good knowledge of chemistry. A background in the 

fundamental principles of chemistry and modern experimental techniques is highly 

valuable for naval officers working in many technical subspecialties, such as oceanspace 

research, life sciences and support systems, propellants, and many others. 

The chemistry major is approved by the American Chemical Society.

Physics Major 

The major program in Physics: (1) presents fundamental physical concepts and principles 

in such a way as to emphasize their general usefulness and (2) lays a strong foundation 

/or further work in a broad range of technical fields. Some of the topics treated in the 

sequence of courses are the origin, propagation, and reception of waves of all kinds; field 

concepts, theory of relativity, basic theory of quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics. All are studied with the object of providing an open-minded and creative approach 

to the physical world-an approach increasingly important to those who will be leaders in 

our modern Navy. A solid background in physics achieved at the Academy will facilitate 

subsequent specialization in any technical area.

Engineering Physics Major 

Engineering Physics is an inter-disciplinary major providing batanced course sequences in 

physics1 mechanical engineering, and mathematics. The broad scope of the course prepares 

the future officer technically /or a professional career in the naval service. Throughout the 

program, the midshipman is encouraged to develop insight into the application of concepts 

which will enable him to pursue any one of a number of technical areas of graduate study 

Engineering Physics provides a sound background for further concentration in physics, 

ordnance engineering, mechanical engineering, and other areas of engineering based on 

physics and applied mathematics. The curriculum is especially suited to provide a strong 

foundation for the nuclear power training program. 107

The major program in English offers study of some of the most significant and in8uential writings of civ11izalion from ancient times to the present, as well as the opportunity 

for independent study and for creative wrihng pro1ects. A special feature of the program

VIII. Professional Training Courses 

The Commandant of Midshipmen directs the Academy's professional training 

program, which is a vital part of each midshipman's development du ring his 

four years at the Academy. It includes instruction, drills, and practical training conducted during the academic year, as well as summer training conducted 

away from the Academy with Fleet opera tional and training units. 

Midshipmen are graded on their interest and performance in the professional program just as they are on their performance in the academic program. A midshipman's over-all standing within his class at graduation 

depends very significantly on his grades in professional training. 

An outline of the professional training program follows.

139 

IX. Varsity and Intramural Athletics 

Just as the Naval Academy has a responsibility for the professional and 

intellectual development of midshipmen, so, also, must it fulfill its responsibility for their physical development. The late John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a 

World War II naval officer who rose to the highest office in the land, underscored the importance of athletics generally in his thoughts about football: 

"I sometimes wonder whether those of us who love football fully appreciate 

its great lesson: that dedication, discipline, and teamwork are necessary. We 

take it for granted that the players will spare no sacrifice to become alert, 

strong, and skilled, that they wilJ give their best on the field. This is as it 

should be, and we must never expect less, but I am extremely anxious that its 

implications not be lost upon us." 

In the competitive arena that is intercollegiate athletics, the exploits of 

Navy athletes are well-chronicled. Midshipmen have carved an outstanding 

reputation in 21 sports from football to fencing, sailing to squash, and golf 

to gymnastics. 

Two Navy football players-halfback Joe Bellino and quarterback Roger 

Staubach-won the Heisman Trophy, the colJege gridiron's most coveted 

individual prize, within a period of four yea.rs. 

Navy heavyweight crews captured the Olympic gold medal for eight-oared 

shells at Antwerp, Belgium in 1920, and in Helsinki, Finland, in 1952. 

From 1960--67, the Navy lacrosse team reeled off eight consecutive national 

championships, a feat unparalleled in the history of that sport. They were 

again champions in 1970. 

Over a recent six-year, 48-game span, the Navy soccer team did not drop 

a regular season contest. 

And, a former Navy oarsman- Alan B. Shepard- was America's first man 

in space. 

Through the intercollegiate program, one of the largest in the nation, and 

an intramural schedule that is equally ambitious, the Naval Academy fulfills 141 
... . 

- ft, 



146 

its responsibility for the physical development of midshipmen. Academy 

athletics are big, nationally known and respected, and put a high premium 

on excellence. 

Football at the Naval Academy dates from 1879, just 10 years after Rutgers 

and Princeton introduced the sport at New Brunswick. The midshipmen have 

been to four bowl games, and nothing better symbolizes the Naval Academy 

athletic program than the Army-Navy football game, a sports event in the 

same gala><y as the World Series, the Kentucky Derby, and the Rose Bowl. 

There is enough of a variety in Navy's intercollegiate lineup to satisfy 

virtually everyone'; athletic tastes. In the fall, there is football, cross country, 

soccer, 150 ·pound football, and sailing. Winter 1s the most active time of year 

with nine different sports in season basketball, fencing, gymnastics, pistol, 

riAe, squash, swimming, track, and wrestling. The spring schedule includes 

baseball, heavyweight crew, lightweight crew, golf, lacrosse, sailing, tennis, 

and track. 

Army traditionally is Navv's top opponent and the service rivals clash in a 

total of 18 engagements during the athletic year Annapolis teams also face 

the perennial collegiate strongboys in every sport Notre Dame in football, 

Columbia and New York University in fencing, Penn State in gymnastics, 

Harvard and Pennsylvania in crew, and Yale in swimming. 

But perhaps even more a part of Annapolis life is the competition within 

the Brigade represented by the intramural sports program Every midshipman, with the exception of varsitv athletes, must take part. Here all can 

participate, each at a level equal to his athletic ability Intramural sports 

include: 

Basketball Knockabout Sailing Tennis 

Boxing Lauosse Touch Football 

Crew Rugby Track 

Cross Country Soccer Volleyball 

Fencing Softball Water Polo 

Field Ball Squash Weightlifting 

Football Swimming Wrestling 

Handball Team Handball 

Excellent physical fac1lit1es support the program Navy-Marine Corps Memorial St,1dium, seating 28,000 fans between the goal lines, was dedicated in 
1959, Halsey Field House is surfaced throughout with Tartan and includes a 

220-yard indoor track. There are more than 100 acres of lighted playing fields, 

a superb indoor swimming pool, a S,000-seat baseball park, a challenging 

6,217-yard championship golf course, and an impressive sprawl of tennis, 

squash, handball, and badminton courts. A new, Astro-turf field provides an 

all-weather practice area for football, lacrosse, and soccer, and a justcompleted indoor skating rink provides for hockey and other skating activities. 

The athletic program is administered by the Naval Academy Athletic 

Association, a non-profit organization headquartered in Annapolis. The Association arranges the varsity schedules and provides coaching staffs and 

equipment. 

147 

X. Extracurricular Activities 

Life at the Academy offers midshipmen a wide-ranging choice of over 65 

different extracurricular activities which they organize and mamtam themselves-everything from a Big Brother program to social clubs to music 

groups to professionally oriented programs. 

Like music? There is a Glee Club, the Antiphonal Choir, the Protestant 

and Catholic Chapel Choirs; the Drum and Bugle Corps, Concert Band, five 

separate combos which provide a lively variety of music for informal dances 

and other events, and the NA- 10- the ever-popular dance band of the 

Brigade of Midshipmen. 

Interested in writing? Members of the Brigade publish the L11cky Bag, the 

yearbook for each class; the Trident magazine, a literary and professional 

publication; the Log, a less serious and more typical campus humor magazine; the Trident Cale11rlar booklet, embellished by photographs and cartoons; and Reef Points, a pocket size guide to Academy and Navy organization, lore, and customs for the plebes. 

The theater? Dramatic activities include the Masqueraders and the Musical 

Club and their supporting groups-the Stage, Makeup and Property, and Juice 

(electrical) Gangs. Others may find interest in such organizations as the Photographic Club, Amateur Radio Club, Scuba Club, Art and Printing Club, Brigade 

Activities Committee, Public Relations Committee, or Radio Station WRNY, 

the "Voice of the Brigade." 

A wide variety of academically and professionally oriented activities is 

offered for midshipmen whose interests lie in this direction- the local chapter 

of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics for the future 

aviator, astronaut, or paper airplane designer; Sigma Pi Sigma, the Physics 

Honor Society; and the USNA branch of the Marine Technology Society, or 

more simply put, the Oceanography Club. 

Sailing at the Academy has a serious professional purpose. The program 

is extensive and varied. There is sailing for every taste- from basic instruction 

to ocean racing, and from leisurely afternoon cruising to the keen competition 

of high-performance racing dinghies 149 



--- .::;>- ~=----'"----------""""-.........:. 

I 
L54 

Skills and knowledge of seamanship and the sea gained under sail are the 

same basic skills and knowledge which have been used by seamen for centuries. They are as relevant in bringing a ship safely home to port today as they 

ever were. Thus, by developing better seamen, the Academy's sailing program 

contributes to the development of better naval officers. 

Sailing is easily the most popular extracurricular activity at the Academy, 

with almost 1,000 midshipmen engaging in competitive or recreational sailing. 

And, judging by the activity along the seawall on weekends, sailing is equally 

popular with drags (dates). 

The Academy has one of the finest sailing Fleets in the world, including 

boats ranging From the 54-foot ocean racing sloop Rnge and the SO-foot 

sloop 011trnge to 12-foot Interclub dinghies. Basic sail training for all midshipmen is carried out in a Fleet of twelve H-foot Luders-designed fiberglass 

yawls and thirty 24-foot converted Rainbow-class knockabouts. After plebe 

summer, all sailing becomes voluntary and is carried on as a recreational 

activity as well as a varsity sport. 

The midshipmen compete in intercollegiate events across the nation during 

the fall and spring. In support of the teams, the Academy maintains thirty 

420-class racing dinghies and five 30-foot Shields-class sloops. 

The Academy sponsors numerous intercollegiate and Chesapeake Bay regattas. Both the McMillan Cup and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Regattas 

are hosted by the Academy in the yawls. During the summer, the larger 

yachts are sailed m the open sea in such races as the Transatlantic, the Bermuda, and the Annapolis-Newport races. Other races include the Gibson 

Island Yacht Squadron Race to Cape May, the Chesapeake Lightship Race, 

the Cape May to Newport Race, the Marblehead-Halifax Race, and the 

Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro Race. Midshipmen skipper the yachts in Bay 

races and serve as crew members in ocean races. 

Intercollegiate sailing is conducted by the Naval Academy Athletic Association. Other sailing is administered by the Naval Academy Sailing Squadron, an organization of officers, civilian faculty members, and other devotees 

of sailing. Besides being highly popular, Squadron-arranged weekend sailing 

trips give midshipmen a welcome chance to carry the spirit of the Navy to 

nearby ports on the Chesapeake Bay. 

The Naval Academy Yard Patrol Squadron is organized for midshipmen who 

desire more extensive training afloat. This voluntary training supplements the 

curriculum at the Academy and summer training with the Fleet. The Squadron 

consists of six 80-foot YP craft, one being assigned to each battalion. 
The organization and practices of the YP Squadron are very similar to 

those of Fleet destroyer squadrons on dutv around the world. The midshipmen officers are selected for their abilitv to fulfill command positions. The 

midshipman selected as squadron commodore is responsible for the over-all 

performance and excellence of the Squadron, including the co-ordination of 

training, proficiency competition, inspections, and cruises. Midshipmen assisting him include a chief staff officer, two division commanders, and an administration officer. Completing the staff is an engineering officer who 

supervises training in engineering and who ensures that engineering equipment is operated and maintained properly. Each yard patrol craft is commanded by a first or second classman who is assisted by a 20-man crew 

composed of midshipmen from all dasses 

Training is serious business during the week. Crews get underway on 

Tuesday, Thursday, and Frida,· afternoons. In addition to weekday training 

sessions, weekend cruises are conducted to \\Tashington, Norfolk, Philadelphia, and to various Chesapeake Bav ports. 

Competition between YPs for the Battle Efficiency Pennant 1s keen, The 

crew adjudged most proficient overall in tactics, deck seamanship, piloting, 

communications, and engineering is declared the winner for the vear. 

For those with a p,1rticular interest in the humanities, there are the Lan-

~uage Clubs and the Forensic Socictv. An annual spring highlight is the Naval 

Academy Foreign Affairs Conference, which draws together college students 

from across the countrv to dicuss problems of a specific geographic area of 

the world 

These activities offer a midshipman a wide choice for professional enrichment, leisure-time enjoyment, and just plain fun. 

155 

XI• Administration, Staff, and Faculty 

The administration of the Naval Academy is in many respects analogous to 

that of any college. A Board of Visitors performs the broad supervisory functions of a board of trustees. The Superintendent, a flag officer of the Navy, 

is the equivalent of a college president, and acts as the executive head of the 

Academy. He is assisted by the Commandant of Midshipmen, whose function 

is somewhat like that of a dean of students; the Academic Dean; and an 

administrallve staff. The Superintendent, the Commandant, the Academic 

Dean, and other senior members of the faculty comprise the Academic Board, 

which makes major academic decisions and sets the academic standards for 

the Academy. Military, professional, and physical training come under the 

Commandant. The Academic Dean heads the academic program. Today's 

600-man Naval Academy faculty is an integrated group of officers and civilians in approximately equal numbers. The officers, rotated at intervals of 

about three years, provide a continuing input of new ideas and experience 

from the Fleet. The civilians provide a core of professional scholarship and 

teaching experience, as well as continuity to the educational program. 

The Board of Visitors 

A Board of Visitors to the Academy, appointed annually, consists of the 

chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U 5. Senate, or his 

designee; three other members of the Senate designated by the Vice President 

of the United States or the President pro tempore of the Senate, two of whom 

are members of the CommHtee on Appropriation~ of the Senate; the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U. 5. House of Representatives, or his designee, four other members of the House of Representatives, 

two of whom are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the House 

of Representatives; and six persons designated by the President of the United 

States. 157 
.\-Ir Smrla,r 

158 

The Board meets at least once, but usually twice, each year at the Naval 

Academy to inquire into the state of morale and discipline, the curriculum, 

instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and related 

matters, and submits a written report of its action and its views and recommendations to the President of the United States.

The U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association 

The U. 5. Naval Academy Alumni Association, Inc., is a private organization 

whose mission is to serve and support the United States, the naval service, 

and the Naval Academy by furthering the high standards of the Naval Academy; by seeking out, informing, encouraging, and assisting qualified young 

men to enter the Naval Academy and to pursue careers in the regular Navy 

and Marine Corps; and by initiating and sponsoring activities which perpetuate the history, traditions, and growth of the Naval Academy and which 

bind its alumni together in support of the highest ideals of command, citizenship, and government. 

All former midshipmen of the Naval Academy are eligible for membership 

in the Association-graduates, non-graduates, active duty officers, retired 

officers, and alumni who are no longer affiliated with the Navy. 

Alumni House (Ogle Hall of pre-Revolutionary-Annapolis fame) is the 

Association's handsome national headquarters. Files and records are maintained on all ex-plebes dating from the establishment of the present Naval 

Academy in 1845 through the classes now enrolled. The many functions of 

the Association include annual publication of the Register of A/11111111; publication of 5/iipmate, the alumni monthly magazine; support of class and 

chapter organizations; and service to and support of many activities at the 

Academy throughout the year. 
The United States Naval Institute 

Headquartered in Annapolis, the U 5. Naval Institute is the professional 

society of the seagoing services. It is a private, nonprofit association of more 

than 63,000 members formed in 1873 for "the advancement of professional, 

literary, and scientific knowledge in the Navy." The membership includes 

officers and enlisted personnel from all branches of the military services, 

distinguished officers of foreign navies, and U. 5. and foreign citizens interested in events and developments throughout the worldwide maritime community. Members pay annual dues and receive the Institute's monthly professional journal, the U. 5. Naval Institute Proceedings, and are entitled 

to purchase Naval Institute books, as well as those of other publishers, at 

reduced prices. 

The Institute's books include texts on professional naval subjects, training 

guides and manuals, scientific and technical works, and studies in naval 

history.

Appendix B 

Special Medical Examination Considerations 

The following special medical examination considerations are set forth in order 

that candidates, prospective candidates, and their private physicians and dentists 

may know the basic medical requirements for entrance to the Academy: 

MEDICAL HISTORY. The medical history will be compiled with particular care, 

with elaboration where indicated. Inquiries will be made in detail concerning all 

illnesses, injuries, and operations which candidates may have had. Failure to fully 

document these items can result in disappointment should related medical disqualification be determined later. A history of familial diseases will be investigated 

thoroughly. If the candidate has received medical care which has significantly 

affected his physical condition, he will be required to submit evidence from attending 

physicians or from hospital records concerning this medical care. A candidate who 

has defects t/1at are remedial, inc/11d111g dental defects, should have them corrected 

prior to taking the Q11alrfy111g Medical Exam111afion

scholutlc and ludtrshlp achlevtmrnts 

These weight standards are necessarily arbitrary and waivers may be granted in 

unusual cases. Obesity 1s disqualifying. 

EYES AND VISION. Unaided visual acuity of 20/ 20 in each eye is a basic requirement. However, waivers may be granted to a limited number of candidates with 

exceptional scholastic and leadership achievements whose eyes are without excessive 

refractive errors and will correct to 20/ 20 with prescription lenses. (Technically, in 

evaluating the degree of refractive error, the strength of the lens required to correct 

the vision to 20/ 20 must not be greater than ± 5.50 diopters in any meridian, there 
cannot be more than 3 diopters of astigmatism present, and the maximum difference 

in power between the eyes mav not exceed 3.5 diopters.) Candidates who wear 

spectacles should take them along when they receive their physical examination. 

Both eyes must be free from any disfiguring or incapacitating abnormality and 

from acute or chronic disease Candidates wearing contact lenses must remove 

them at least three weeks prior to reporting for medical examination. Normal color 

perception is required. Waivers may be granted to a very limited number of candidates with defective color perception who have exceptional scholastic and leadership 

achievements. 

HEART AND VASCULAR SYSTEM An electrocardiogram is required of all candidates. The following conditions may be causes for rejection, and they require complete medical evaluation: aJI organic valvular diseases of the heart, including those 

improved by surgery; EKG evidence of variations from normal heart beat; and hypertension evidenced by predominant blood pressure reading of 140 mm or more systolic 

or 90 mm or more diastolic. The following are causes for rejection: varicose veins, 

if severe or symptomatic; heart rate greater than 100 on repeated examinations; substantiated history of rheumatic fever within the previous two years; recurrent attacks of rheumatic fever or evidence of residual cardiac damage; history of recurring 

rapid heart beat within the preceding five years (paroxysmal tachycardia). 

EARS AND HEARING: Auditory acuity of all candidates will be determined. Maximum acceptable hearing loss in decibels is indicated on the following chart·

NARES Septa! deviation, hypertrophic rhinitis, or other conditions which result m 

50 percent or more obstruction of either airway, or which interfere with drainage 

of a sinus on either side, are causes for rejection. 

SKIN Chronic diseases such as severe acne or eczema or unsightly congenital 

markings are cause for disqualification. Pilonidal sinus, if evidenced by presence of 

mass or discharging sinus, ts cause for rejection. 193 
194 

SCROLOGIC TESTS: A serologic test for syphilis is required on all candidates. An 

authentic history of syphilis of any type is cause for rejection without furlher 

laboratory procedure. 

CCNITOURINARY SYSTEM: Persistent or recurrent albuminuria of any type or the 

persistence of casts in the urine will be cause for rejection. Other causes for rejection· marked phimosis or epispadias; pronounced hypospadias; atrophy, deformity, 

or maldevelopment of both testes; or an undescended testicle of any degree. Bed 

wetting persisting into late childhood or early adolescence is cause for rejection. 

NEUROLOGICAL EXAMINATION Evidence of degenerative disorders or conditions 

such as established migraine and persistent motion sickness are causes for rejection. 

ASTHMA: Asthma or recurrent asthmatic bronchitis by diagnosis or history since 

the age of 12 are causes for rejection. 

ABDOMINAL WALL EXAMINATION Hernia of any type is disqualifying until 

corrected; history of operation for hernia within past 60 days is disqualifying. 

Other abnormal diseases and conditions which are not acceptable include stomach 

or small bowel ulcer or history of same, acute or chronic gall bladder disease, and 

removal of spleen for reason other than trauma. 

MISCELLANEOUS MEDICAL FINDINGS THAT ARE DISQUALIFYTNG: Acute communicable diseases; anemia; abnormal bleeding states; diabetes mellitus or history 

of diabetes in both parents; persistent sugar in urine regardless of cause; ununited 

fractures; history of surgery to a major 10ml within past six months; history of 

derangement of knee joint not corrected by surgery, or evidence of instability subsequent to surgery; total loss of either thumb; tuberculosis, active in past five years; 

hay fever, if severe; nasal polyps; personality disorders; symptomatic immaturity 

disorders such as stammering or stuttering; arthritis; and herniated nucleus pulposus 

or history of operation for this condition. 

DENTAL STANDARDS: A candidate for appointment must have a minimum of 16 

natural permanent teeth, of which a minimum of eight must be in each arch. All 

missing teeth causing unsightly spaces or significantly reduced masticatory or incisal 

efficiency must be replaced by well-designed bridges or partial dentures which are 

in good condition Except for minor or questionable carious areas, all required 

dental treatment must be completed Candidates undergoing active orthodontic 

treatment will be temporarily disqualified. Each such applicant will be considered on 

an individual basis by the Service Academies Central Medical Review Board. Disqualifying defects are as follows 
Lack of satisfactory indsa1 or masticatory func tion. 

Less than eight natural permanent teeth in each arch. 

Edentulous spaces which are unsightly or which significantly reduce masticatory function. 

Carious tee.th, except minor or questionable. carious areas. 

Infections or chronic diseases of the soft tissue of the oral cavity. 

Marked ma locclusion resulting in severe dentofacial deformity. 

Unsatisfactory restorations, bridges, or dentures. 

Severe or extensive apical or periodontal infection. 

Perforations from t.he oral cavity into the nasal cavil'y or maxillary sinus. 

Tumors or cysts of the oral tissues which requhe treatment or may require treatment in 

the foreseeable future. 

PHYSICAL APTITUDE EXAMINATION. The physical aptitude examination includes 

sit-ups, pull-ups, arm-hang, squat-walk, and related exercises. It is not part of the 

medical examination conducted by Navy medical examining centers; however, physical aptitude examinations conducted by the other services as part of their medical 

examination are acceptable to the Naval Academy. 

The Naval Academy physical aptitude examination may be administered by a 

high school coach or physical education instructor. The details of this examination 

are provided to the candidate along with a testing form, with notification of nomination. The testing form is to be completed and returned to the Dean of Admissions, U 5. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland 21402. 

Appendix C 

Foreign Students 

REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES. On beha lf of the President of the United States, 

the Secretary of the Navy may authorize up to four Filipinos at any one time to 

receive instruction at the Naval Academy. Applications for these appointments must 

be addressed through diplomatic channels. The appointments a re competitive. 

AMERICAN REPUBLICS OTHER THAN THE UNITED ST A TES. Upon designation 

by the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Navy may authorize up 

to 20 persons at any one time from other American nations to receive in struction 195 
196 

at the U. 5. Naval Academy. Not more than three persons from any one country 

may receive instruction at the same time. Applications for these appointments must 

be addressed through appropriate diplomatic channels. The appointments are 

competitive. Nominations must reach the Superintendent, U. 5. Naval Academy, 

Attn Candidate Guidance Office, by 1 January of the calendar year in which entering. 

Foreign nationals receiving instruction at the Naval Academy receive the same 

pay, allowances, and emoluments as other midshipmen; are paid from the same 

appropriations; and except for such modifications as may be determined by the 

Secretary of the Navy, are subiect to the same rules and regulations governing admission, attendance, discipline, resignation, discharge, dismissal, and graduation, as 

midshipmen at the Naval Academy appointed from the United States. Foreign 

students are not entitled to appointment to any office or position in the U. 5. Navy 

by reason of their graduation from the Naval Academy The entrance deposit in 

the amount of $300 is required of all foreign students. 

Each foreign candidate must: 

D Be an unmarried, bona fide male citizen of the nominating country and, unless 

otherwise approved by the Secretary of the Navy, be not less than 17 and not yet 

22 years of age on 1 July of the calendar year in which he enters the Naval Academy. 

D Possess medical qualifications as specified in Appendix B of this catalog. After 

their arrival in the United States, all candidates must undergo a Qualifying Medical 

Examination by ,1 board of medical examiners designated by the Chief of Naval 

Personnel. Foreign candidates are urged to undergo careful preliminary examination 

by qualified medical personnel who are conversant with the physical requirements 

set forth in Appendix B of this c,1talog before leaving their homes for the Naval 

Academy Those with obviously disqualifying defects may thus be spared the needless expense of the trip to Annapolis. In case of reasonable doubt as to whether or 

not the defects are disqualifying, it is recommended that ,1 telegraphic inquiry be 

addressed to the Dean of Admissions, U 5. Naval Academv Annapolis, Maryland, 

21-102, U.5.A 

D Be proficient in reading, writing, and speaking idiomatic English. Candidates 

may meet scholastic entrance requirements by submitting certificates from schools 

attended. They must also take either the American College Testing Program (ACT) 

test or the College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)

language and not in the native tongue of the candidate. 
The naval attache or a diplomatic representative of the United States in the 

candidate's country must provide a report of the candidate's proficiency in the use 

of idiomatic English. 

Governments should submit the names of candidates as early as poss,ble m order 

that they may qualify for entrance by the end of April and enter the Naval Academy 

in July. 

In lieu of the oath of allegiance to the United States, a substitute oath will be 

required, in substance as follows

Naval Academy do solemnly swear to comply with all 

regulations for the policy and discipline of the Naval 

Academy, and to give my utmost efforts to accomplish 

satisfactorily the required curriculum, do swear not to

obtain directly or indirectly in consequence of my presence 

at the United States Naval Academy to any alien government, and do agree that I shall be withdrawn from the

Appendix F 

Naval and Marine Corps Officers' Graduate Education Programs 

The vast ma1ority of Annapolis graduates go directly to sea or to the Fleet Manne 

Force, thus beginning their professional careers 1n an operal1onal environment. A 

few, those with outstanding records as midshipmen, may compete for a limited 

number of graduate scholarships. Several of these scholarships require enrollment 

immediately upon graduation from the Academy. Most graduates, however, will first 

complete their initial operational tour of duty with the Fleet before they may expect 

the opportunity to be enrolled in a masters program, either at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, or in programs offered at a number of 

participating civilian universities. Std! others will have the opportunity to undertake 

graduate studies at a later time in their careers 

JUNIOR LINE OFFICER AD\'ANCED SCIENTIFIC EDUCATIONAL 

(BURKE) PROGRAM 

The Burke Program is open to 15 qualified midshipmen each year, 13 in the fields 

of science or engineering and two in the field of political science. Officers who demonstrate superior academic ability ,ind potential may be authorized to continue their 

education beyond the master's to the attainment of a Ph.D. degree. 

Although selected as midshipmen, gradu,1tes complete an initial operational tour 

of two to four years as officers prior to reporting to the c,vilian educational institution of their choice. 

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM 

Nallonally known scholarships or fellowships are av,11lable lo qualified gradu,1tes of 

the 'saval Academy Graduate studies may be pursued in various fields and in 

several countries while receiving pay ,ls a commissioned officer in the Navy or 

Marine Corps. Among programs for which midshipmen have been selected in recent 

vears arc the following 

Scholarship

Fannie & John Hertz 

Degree Atlainable 

M.S. l'h.D 

MS., M.A., Ph.D. 

various 

various 

various 203 
204 

In addition, each year, a few highly qualified graduates apply directly to various 

graduate schools and are awarded scholarships. 

NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL, MONTEREY 

Among the graduate programs currently offered, all of which lead to a Master of 

Science degree, are: 

Aeronautical Engineering 

Applied Mathematics 

Communications Engineering 

Computer Science 

Computer Systems Management 

Electrical Engineering 

Engineering Acoustics 

Engineering Electronics 

Management 

Mechanical Engineering 

Meteorology 

Nuclear Science (Effects) 

Oceanography 

Operations Research 

Physics 

Physics (Air/space, Electro-optics 

or Missile dynamics) 

It is worth noting that these graduate programs offer considerably more depth 

than do most study opportunities offered employees by private industry.
