Maximize Your Options: 

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

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

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

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

one of 22 varsity sports against the best teams in the country, and receive a 

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

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

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

prepare himself, through further education and training, for professional 

service assignments ashore. The Naval Academy meant maximizing his choices 

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

the way 

This opportunity can be yours if you have had a good secondary school 

education, have done well in the opportunities open to you both in and out of 

school, are physically active and seek challenge. If you are a woman, you 

are not permitted by present law to serve in Navy ships other than hospital 

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

open to men are yours as well. 

Leadership, scholarship, fellowship; this is the Naval Academy. Is it for you?

Why the Naval Academy? 

Time Hasn't Changed Our Mission 

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

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

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

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

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

schools cannot ? What will the Naval Academy expect of me? What will I 

get out of it in the long run? ln short, why should 1 consider the Naval 

Academy in making my plans for the years ahead? The paragraphs below are 

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

Service to Country 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

accept that you will be educated and trained here For service lo your nation. 

You should be prepared to undertake the challenges of the four-year curriculum, and to serve as an officer in the Navy or Marine Corps for five years after 

graduation. And you should have an open mind as lo your future after that 

five years. Dedication to the idea of service to your country must be high in 

your reasons for coming to Annapolis if you hope to succeed, and if you are to 

fully justify taking your place in the entering class.

Education 

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

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

founding in 1845, has been dedicated to providing a sound education for its 

students. In recent years, the growing complexity of the Navy, both in its 

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

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

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

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

study, ranging from engineering through oceanography, and mathematics on 

to history, economics, and political science. The needs of the Navy require 

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

engineering, scientific, or mathematics majors. Other midshipmen may major 

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

warfare specialties. 

Leadership Training 

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

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

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

program at Annapolis is to produce self-confident leaders who accept and 

are fully ready to carry out their responsibilities both to the nation they serve 

and to the men and women entrusted to their command. This is not an easy 

goal and no one should come to the Naval Academy with the idea that the 

training program is a spare-time adjunct to the educational program. It is allencompassing and its activities pervade the four-year course through all the 

months of the year. 

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

rise to command- professional officers who are physically strong and mentally competitive and who have a solid technical founda tion. Officers of 

unflinching honesty and forthrightness, with total commitment to high 

standards of honor, duty, and responsibility. Officers who relish a challenge 

and thrive in accomplishment 

Characteristically, President Harry Truman cut to the essence of command 

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

of what the responsibility of command is all about, however, and still remarkably appropria te today, was written by English sea captain and writer Joseph 

"Bei11g a woman is a 

terribly difficult trade, 

si11re if consists pnncipnl/y of denlrng witlz 

tnen.'" 

}OSEPII CONRAD 

12 

Conrad: "In each srup there is one man who, in the hour of emergency or 

peril al sea, can turn to no other man. There is one who alone is ultimately 

responsible for the safe navigation, engineering, performance, accurate gunfire, and morale of his ship. He is the commanding officer. He is the ship." 

Years at Annapolis 

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

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

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

and physical. For the entire year. 

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

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

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

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

will come increased responsibility. The fi rst class, and particularly the midshipmen officers chosen from the first class, are charged with much of the 

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

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

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

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

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

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

advantage. 

Travel and the Sea 

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

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

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

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

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

River or on the Bay. 

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

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

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

for you. Whatever your situation, you should not think seriously abou t 

Annapolis without also thinking about the sea. 

Two of your four summers at the Academy-there are currently certain 
statutory combatant-ship restrictions for women midshipmen-will be devoted 

to cruises in ships of the Navy. After your plebe year, your youngster cruise 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the Far East. 

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

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

heart of the Annapolis program. 

Professionalism 

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

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

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

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

really says it all. 

It's up to you.

The Years 1845-1978 

Through the years 1845 to 1978, as the nation's responsibilities and need for 

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

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

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

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

professional leadership expected in the United States Navy. 

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

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

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

Commander Franklin Buchanan was the first Superintendent of the Naval 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

technical undergraduate program. 

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

"The pathway of man's 

Journey tlrrouglr the ages 

1s littered wit Ir tire wreckage of nations, which, 1n 

their hour of glory, forgot their dependence on 

tire sen."

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

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

Academy. Michelson continued his brilliant scientific work after leaving the 

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

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

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

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

mathematics complex is named Michelson Hall. 

Another distinguished graduate was Alfred Thayer Mahan, whose profound wntings on seapower and its in.fluences on history are still the world 

standard in the field. Beginning in 1883, \ilarine officers were commissioned 

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

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

King, Nin1itz, Halsey, Spruance, and Burke and Marine Commandants Lejeune, 

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

astronauts Shepard, Schirra, Lovell, Carr, Stafford and Anders. Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, 1922 graduate of Annapolis for whom Rickover Hall, our 

newly completed engineering complex has been named, has personified the 

Navy's nuclear power program For a generation. And, highest honor of all, a 

1946 graduate, President Jimmy Carter, holds the world's attention and the 

hopes of his countrymen for leadership in these difficult times as America's 

39th President. The successors lo these graduates, preparing to meet a new 

generation of challenges, are midshipmen today. 

Following accreditation of the Naval Academy in 1930 by the Association 

of American Universities, a Congressional law was passed in 1Q32 authorizing 
the Academy to confer the Bachelor of Science degree upon all graduates, 

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

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

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

Academy-prepared entrance examinations. Since 1970, candidates have had 

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

An Academic Advisory Board of distinguished Americans, formed by the 

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

matters, first met at the Academy in 1966. 

On 8 October 1975 President Ford signed historic legislation authorizing 

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

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

(81) on 6 July 1976. 

Yard and Facilities 

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

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

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

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

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

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

or Baltimore, Maryland.

Physical and academic facilities have J..ept pace with the demands of the 

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

acres. Much of this new acreage has resulted from ,1 series of landfills in the 

Severn River. A landfill completed in 1950 added 56 acres for athletic fields and 

new buildings. Construction of a number of buildings in use today, including 

our chapel, several academic buildings, and core areas of Bancroft Hall, the midshipmen's dormitory, began in 1809 with a Congressional appropriation of ten 

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

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

funds, of the nearby Navy-;\,larine Corps Memorial Stadium. A multimilliondollar renov,1tion of Bancroft Hall was completed in 1965 

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

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

and mementoes commemorating the deeds of our great naval heroes and honoring the Navy's fmest traditions.

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

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

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

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

1975. New-to-the-walls interiors, including completely modern classrooms and 

laboratories, have been provided in Maury, Sampson, and Luce Halls. A full 

range of facilities and services for student and faculty research, computeraided education, and educational television is available throughout the academic complex. All academic areas are air-conditioned. 

Recently, privately donated funds from friends and alumni have given us 

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

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

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

cafeteria, lounges, and game rooms. 

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

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

Brigade. All of the basic facilities for daily living, as well as many for recreation, are found in Bancroft Hall.

III 

Life at Annapolis 

Mission 

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

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

that the academic program is of the highest quality but also that midshipmen 

are prepared morally and physically for the rigors of commissioned service. 

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

of priorities. 

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

or varsity sports and other extracurricular activities. 

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

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

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

Organization 

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

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

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

loyalty; for providing military indoctrination and physical development; and 

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

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

carrying out these 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 

"Here you're forced to 

mingle with wl1ites ..

.. We get together and 

we get tlie job done."

ed11rntion ?" 

24 

the Commandant include the Division of Professional Development, the 

Physical Education Department, the Midshipman Supply Department, the 

Brigade Chaplains, and the Brigade Officers. 

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

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

officers composed of Navy lieutenants and lieutenant commanders and Marine 

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

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

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

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

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

commissioned officers. 

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

two or three to a room. 1n each of the thirty-six company areas in Bancroft 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

activity center in Dahlgren Hall provide attractive settings for dances and 

other recreational activities. 

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

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

organizational unit for numerous competitive activities during the year. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 demanding period of testing, requiring midshipmen to stand on their own feet, to produce under 

pressure, to respond promptly and intelligently to orders and, finally, to measure up to the highest standards of character, honor, and morality. 

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

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

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

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

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

days soon seem far behind. 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic 

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

calibre pistol, sailing Navy yawls, and participating in a rigorous physical 

conditioning program contribute to making each midshipman a proudly versatile individual. Team spirit and the desire to win are developed through 

competition in a wide range of activities, including athletics, dress parades, 

seamanship, and talent shows.

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

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

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

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

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

Upperclassmen return from at-sea training, leave, and other summer activities the following week. Plebe summer is over, but plebe indoctrination continues. The academic year gets underway. Four years of studies have begun,

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

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

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

Hudson, the cadets of West Point. 

December examinations end the first semester and midshipmen depart on 

Christmas leave. This 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. leave ends and classes 

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

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

are followed by a week of leave for all classes. Studies end with examinations

in mid-May. Following a short leave, midshipmen return for graduation 

("June Week") the last week in May. 

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

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

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

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

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

Durmg their first taste of life at sea m the Navy, the midshipmen come 

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

and upon whom they will depend as officers They serve m many capacities 

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

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

exercise at general shipboard drills. 

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

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

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

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

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

a welcome and deserved change' 

Following the completion of academic studies of their third class year 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 warfare specialties of the Navy and Marine Corps. 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. Atlanhc Fleet. Traveling to Newport, Rhode Island, the new 

second classman attends a familiarization course at the Navy's Surface Warfare Officers' School and visits modern destroyers. Flight indoctrination in 

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

the summer's professional training. 

Following summer leave, still greater military responsibilities become theirs 

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

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

Midshipmen officers are selected and trained to direct the Brigade during 

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

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

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

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

come and gone, and first class year is underway. 

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

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

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

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

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

during the summer. 

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

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

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

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

other aspects of shipboard life complete the summer's training with the Fleet. 

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

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

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

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

Denmark, and Norway in Northern Europe. 

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

academic studies-their principal responsibility throughout the four years at 

Annapolis-and to undertake their important new responsibilities for directing 

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

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

for the conduct, military smartness, and competitive records of their units. 

They are in charge of the midshipman watch organization in Bancroft Hall. 

The selection of three sets of midshipmen officers during each academic year 

increases the individual opportunity for this valuable leadership experience. 

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

among the most capable midshipmen in the first two. 

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

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

officers. 
The Honor Concept 

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

honesty and forthrightness are essential elements of this commitment. The 

Brigade of Midshipmen lives under an Honor Concept which contributes to 

this development by providing the precepts which aid a midshipman in 

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

the midshipmen standards of integrity which will motivate them to make 

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

encounter. The Honor Concept is more than an administrative device for 

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

Brigade with each class participating through Company Honor Representatives 

to the Brigade Honor Committee. 

The Concept does not foster the belief in the Brigade that honorable 

conduct is strictly associated with the Naval Academy, but rather that it is 

an integral part of the professionalism expected of officers throughout their 

careers.

The Professional Training Program 

The Commandant directs the Academy's professional training program with 

the assistance of the Director of Professional Development. The program 

encompasses a wide range of training, studies, and drills, and is designed to 

provide graduates with a sound foundation in the fundamental specialized 

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

Corps. 

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

years at the Academy. Class standing at graduation depends significantly on 

a midshipman's professional training performance. 

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

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

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

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

making up the professional training program begins on page 133. 

Leave and Privileges 

The amount of leave and other privileges granted midshipmen varies directly 

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

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

have more privileges. 

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

during the year. These include a three-week Christmas leave, mid-term and 

end-of-semester leaves, and the month-long summer leave for the three upper 

classes. 

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

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

Fourth classmen are granted liberty on Saturday afternoons and evenings and 

dining-out privileges with relatives and close friends on Saturdays and Sundays. They are permitted to have dates on at least four weekends in addition 

to June Week. 

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

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

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

completed for the day. 
Weekend liberty is granted to upperclassmen. Midshipmen third class 

are afforded three weekends each semester; second class midshipmen receive 

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

they are authorized to take; however, a number are required lo remain at the 

Naval Academy during the weekend in order lo carry out the administrative 

functions of the Brigade. 

Cultural Affairs Program 

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

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

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

nearby Washington and Baltimore. Field trips throughout the academic year 

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

midshipmen and their guests. 

Physical Education 

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 skills in carry-over sports for enjoyment after graduation. 

Women participate in the same physical fitness and physical education 

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

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

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

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

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

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

track. 

The pace continues during the first academic year. Instruction is given in 

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

racquets, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. In addition, midshipmen develop their 

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

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

run and on the obstacle course. 

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

and its program, refer to chapter 8. 

Medical and Dental Care 

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

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

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

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

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

Bethesda, Maryland. 

Legal Assistance 

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

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

Building. 

Financial Advice 

vlidshipmen are provided financial advice on matters relating lo savings, loans, 

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

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

and through individual counselling as needed. The Midshipmen Financial 

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

Religious Activities 

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

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

world. This is more than a coincidence. Over the decades of our history, fighting Americans have learned by experience that there 1s a dimension to military 

leadership-both in and out of combat-which is essential lo real effectiveness. This 1s the spiritual factor, the intangible quality we call moral courage 
What is it that strengthens men and women in the daily battles of life? 

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

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

serve in the armed forces. 

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

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

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

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

Attendance at religious services is optional. Midshipmen are encouraged to 

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

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

and that, in times of stress, their subordinates wi.11 look to them for spiritual 

as well as professional guidance. The t !a val Academy believes that future 

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

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

each midshipman to take full advantage of opportunities for worship and 

moral development. 

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

Protestant or Catholic chapel services which periodically feature nationally 

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

and inspiration that comes from a vital relationship with God.

a truly great man that

The Naval Profession 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

spectrum of interesting fields. 

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

graduate will be fu.lly ready to assume the responsibilities of an officer in the 

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

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

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

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

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

Assignments for Women Officers 

Much of the information contained in this chapter is applicable to men only 

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

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

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

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

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

so 

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

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

their assignments to be ashore. 

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

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

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

are available to women officers except infantry, artillery, tanks and combat 

flying. 

First Duty 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

graduates choose to go to sea 1mhally in a combat-type su.rface ship--i.e., 

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

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

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

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

Graduate programs leading to advanced degrees are available to a small 

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

of sea duty. 

One out of every six Annapolis graduates may volunteer for appointment 

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

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

officers, run by officers. After this familiarization training, the Marine lieutenant 

will receive formal training in the occupational specialty he or she chooses. 

Career field choices include the combat arms, aviation, intelligence, logistics, 

engineers, air traffic control, data processing, supply and communications. 

Upon completion of training, the lieutenant will be assigned to a regular 

Marine Corps unit. 

Officers not physically qualified for operational assignments are assigned to 

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

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

own career patterns to a significant degree through their requests for assignments afloat and ashore, advanced studies, and, of course, by personal performance. After the initial tour, most young officers have a fairly well developed idea of what specialty they would like to follow. Line offkers seek 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

communications. 

Repeated assignments within specialized fields and graduate studies provide 

line officers with subspecialties which generally are exercised ashore. These 

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

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

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

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

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

operational units in the United States or in the Far East. During this initial 

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

this, the Marine officer can expect assignment to jobs outside his or her 

specialty, such as independent duty, barracks duty, recruiting duty, or duty 

with other services or with a major headquarters staff. As Marine Corps 

officers advance in rank and experience, they find themselves receiving advanced professional training at various service schools, attending graduate 

schools, and assuming greater responsibilities in command and staff posibons. 

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

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

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

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

carrying with it high professional prestige and opportunities for broad experience, a career which rewards the industrious, the loyal, and the imagina-

tive. It is a career for those with a zeal for strenuous living, patriotism, and 

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

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

United States. 

Officer Education and Training 

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

momentarily, but their theoretical and practical education will continue as 

long as they are in the service. From graduation day forward, they will continue to prepare for assignments of greater responsibility and professional 

attainment by acquiring practical experience ashore and afloat and through 

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

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

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

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

programs at both naval and civilian mslltut1ons, designed to prepare officers 

for higher responsibilities. This move toward graduate education begins 

before graduation for those midshipmen selected for scholarships in civilian 

umvers1ties or for Navy and Marine Corps-sponsored graduate programs. 

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

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

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

schools in damage control, commumcallons, electronics maintenance, and 

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

finest technical preparation in its field anywhere in the world. 

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

some qualified Naval Academy graduates may expect orders to graduate study 

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

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

quality education in the fields of management, economics and international 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

officer becomes a part of this commitment, and thus every Naval Academy 

graduate can be assured that his or her professional talents and intellectual 

ability will be enhanced by educational opportunities and by assignments that 

fully challenge interests and capabilities.

Admissions 

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

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

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

Naval Academy encourages this diversity and recognizes the value and 

promise of a Brigade enriched by a membership representing every race, 

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

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

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

1981 included 176 (13 percent of the class) from racial and ethnic minorities. 

Certain general eligibility requirements for candidates do exist. Candidates 

must be at least 17 years of age, and must not have passed their 2.2nd birthday by 1 July in the year of admission. They must be unmarried and have no 

children and, except for limited quotas of foreign midshipmen specifically 

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

Meeting these requirements, prospective candidates must then proceed to 

obtain a nomination; qualify scholastically, medically, and in physical aptitude; and be selected for entry. The Admissions Board examines each candidate's school records, SAT or ACT scores, recommendations from school 

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

potential, and academic aptitude and achievement. Qualification for admission 

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

factors. 

High School Program 

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

rigorous college program. The q11ality of the work is important. About three 

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

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

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

does not have rigid requirements concerning the subjects which must be 

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

following subjects in their high school or prep school curriculum: 

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

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

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

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

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

Precandidate Questionnaire 

Applicants should submit a Precandidate Questionnaire to the Naval Academy 

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

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

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

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

nomination. Precandidate Questionnaires should be requested from the Director of Candidate Guidance, U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland 

21402. 

Candidate Guidance 

The Candidate Guidance Office in Leahy Hall at the Naval Academy provides counsel to young men and women who are interested in a career of 

naval service through Annapolis. This office also coordinates the nationwide 

activities of some 1,700 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 applicants on all 

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

Academy or its admission procedures should write to the coordinator nearest 

them or to:

Tests 

Either the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Scholastic Aptitude 

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

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

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

taking a test more than once will be credited with the highest score(s) 

achieved. Candidates interested in advanced placement (validation) are encouraged to take the appropriate College Board Achievement test(s), including 

the English Composition Test with essay. Since achievement tests are not 

considered in determining scholastic qualification for admission, they may be 

taken as late as May, except for the English Composition Test with essay, 

which is offered in December only.

SOPHOCLES 

60 

To assist them in evaluating and selecting their candidates, some Congressmen and other authorized nominators use competitive examinations of the 

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

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

be met. 

Obtaining a Nomination 

Applicants m11st obtain a nomination to be considered for an appointment 

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

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

evaluate candidates during the summer months and some nominate in early 

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

include their U.S. representative, both U.S. senators, and, for the especially 

well-qualified, the Vice President. The following is a listing of all nomination 

sources: 

U. S. Senators, Representa tives, the D elegate to the Congress from the D istrict of Columbia, and the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico. Each may 

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

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

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

sample letter of application. 

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

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

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

either on active duty (other than for training) and who have served continuously on active duty for at least the past 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 shouJd 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 November to the Office of the Vice President, Washington, D. C. 20501. 

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

apply to the appropriate official. 

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

required by 1 July of the year of admission. Eighty-five appointments are 

authorized each year. Application should be made via 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.

compete for ten appointments. 

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

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

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

while on active duty, or who sustained 100 percent disability (as certified by 

the Veteran's Administration) From such wounds, injuries, or disease; and 

children of servicemen who are currently prisoners of war or missing in 

action, are eligible. In addition, the children of civilians who are currently in a 

POW or 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. S. Naval Academy (Attn: Candidate Guidance Office), Annapolis, Maryland 21402. 

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

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

Congressional Nominating Procedures 

For each vacancy a member of Congress has at the Academy, the member may 

nominate ten candidates. They may be designated as "prrncipal," "1st alternate," "2nd alternate," and so on to "9th alternate"; they may be nominated as 

a principal and nine competitive alternates for evalualton by the Naval Academy; or they may simply be nominated as a slate of ten competitors to be evaluated and ranked by the Naval Academy for the vacancy. The top person on the 

list who is accepted for admission by the Academy will be appointed. But this 

does not mean that the others are no longer considered. In fact, if p,irtic11/nrly 

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 alterna tes and 

qualrfied competitors to bring the entering class to the desired number Thus, 

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

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

considered automatically by the Academv's Admissions Board. 

Admission of Women 

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

will be authorized by the Navy to admit approximately 90 women in the 

Class of 1983. The number of women who may be appointed from each of the 

C'C1shng sources of nomination listed on pages 60 and 61 of this catalog, will 

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

these sources. \'\!omen will compete with men nominated from the same 

sources, except for children of !\lledal of Honor winners who are admitted 

without limit if qualified. 

Women who hold principal Congressional nominations will be admitted, if 

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

Congressional-type sources of appointment exceeds the number apportioned 

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

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

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

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

compete in order of merit with women who are in line to be offered Congressional-type appointments, up to the number apportioned to these sources. The 
remainder of the women in this group will have priority on a waiting list 

called the qualified alternates and competitors list. 

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

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

compete with men up to the authorized number of appointments. 

Previous Candidates 

Unsuccessful applicants for a previous entering class may reopen their 

admissions files for a subsequent class by writing the Director of Candidate 

Guidance. A second Prospective Candidate Questionnaire is not required 

Applicants must, however, obtain a new nomination to be considered for 

admission, and they must continue to meet general eligibility requirements 

regarding age, marital status, etc Retaking of SAT .\CT tests 1s highly 

recommended. Additionally, for maximum benefit, any college or junior 

college work taken between candidacies should include a curriculum similar to 

that of first-year midshipmen (i.e., a full academic schedule including math, 

science, and English). 

Readmission of Former Midshipmen 

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

on 1 July of the expected year of graduation. In addition to obtaining a new 

nomination and completing the other normal adm1ss1on requirements, approval of the Naval Academy's Academic Board 1s required for readmission of 

former midshipmen. Requests should be addressed to the Dean of Adm1ss1ons 

not later than 1 April. 

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 ad1ustment to service life and to carry 

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

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

difficulty in passing the examination. Candidates should carefully review the 

detailed medical standards contained in appendix B. Candidates having less 

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

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

contact lenses must comply with special examination procedures.

a 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

will take immediate action to schedule their medical examination. 
The Physical Aptitude Examination 

Candidates must score acceptably on the Physical Aptitude Exammahon to 

qualify for entry. Testing coordination, strength, speed, agility, and enduran,e, 

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

hang (women), and (men and women) a standing long jump, a kneeling basketball throw, and a 300-yard shuttle run The examination is a sepu,,te 

examination, separately conducted, and is not part of the Medical [xamin.,tion. 

Complete details of this examination are provided candidates by the Naval 

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

education or by any commissioned officer 

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

test, candidates are strongly ad\'ised to be in the best possible physical condition when they enter the Naval Academy in early July The first summer is 

very demanding physically, starling with the very first da\' and endurance 

and upper body strength are particularly important. Cross-country runs, 

weightlifting, isometric exercises, swimming, push-ups, and chin-ups, and (for 

women) the Aexed-arm hang are valuable conditioning exercise prior to entrv 

Notification of Qualification and Selection for Appointment 

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

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

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

will, in all probability, not be selected. All candidates wlto lrm1e been offered 

1111 appoin•ment to the Naval Academy with the entering class will h,we the 

opportunity to visit the Academy in late May for a full day of orientation 

briefings and tours. The new class is admitted in early July 

Profile of an Entering Class 

In a typical year, we'll receive some 12,000 applicallons. Over 7,000 of these 

will receive official nominations and some 2,000 of these nominee5 will be 

found qualified schol,,stically and med1Cally, anJ in physical aptitude by our 

Admissions Board We'll offer appointments as midshipmen to about 1,650 of 

these, of which some J .300 will accept and become members of our entering 

class. College Boards of the entering class, will m•crn,q_e about 570 (English) 

and 660 (math); ACT will average 23 (English) anJ 31 (math); over 1,000 

will ha\'c ranked in the top 20 percent of their high school class, and \'cry few 

will have been below the top 40 percent, perhaps l 00 will have had at least

a semester of college; 60 will be children of alumni, and the class will include 

some 90 women and perhaps 170 minority midshipmen, of which some 60 

will be black, 60 will be Oriental-American, and 50 will have a Hispanic 

background Honors and activities will include: class or student body officers 

{18 percent), National Honor Society (52 percent); varsity letter winners 

(71 percent); dramatics, public speaking and debating (57 percent); leaders of 

musical group (8 percent); Eagle Scouts {10 percent); Boys/Girls State or 

Nation (14 percent); and ROTC, NROTC, AFROTC (8 percent). 

Pay and Expenses 

Midshipmen are paid $345.00 per month, commencing on the date of admission. This salary permits them to pay their own expenses; i.e., for uniforms, 

books, equipment, laundry, income tax, and spending money while at the 

Naval Academy. By graduation, midshipmen will have accrued savings 

a\'eraging some Sl,800. Typically, this will be used to augment their wardrobe 

of officer uniforms and to help them establish themselves at their new duty 

stations. 

Before being admitted as a 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 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 $1,200 upon first admission to the Naval Academy. The $1,200 

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

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

the indebtedness is accomplished by monthly deductions of $100 from the 

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

and continuing until the indebtedness is liquidated 

Service Obligation 

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

previously acquired a military obligation, will automaticallv do so upon 

acceptance of appointment as midshipmen at the U. S Naval Academy. Under Section 651 of Title 10, U 5. Code, any person who is enlisted, inducted, 
or appointed in any of the armed services or their reserve components 

automatically acquires a six-year miLltary obligation. Section V.A.1. of Department of Defense Directive 1332.23 of 9 May 1968 includes appointees 

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

years on active duty as commissioned officers. 

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. S. 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, all midshipmen who are citizens of the United States will 

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

if a minor, that they will fulfill these obligations: 

They will complete the Academy course of instruction (unless disenrolled 

from the Academy by competent authority). 

They will accept appoin tments and serve as commissioned officers on active 

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

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

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

the sixth anniversary. 

Resignations and Separations 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

be waived by the government. 

Midshipmen who are separated after having entered the Naval Academy 

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

former status under the appropriate statutory provisions. Completion or 

partial completion of a prior service obligation by separated midshipmen does 

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

active duty in accordance with Title 10, U. 5. Code 69596. 

Refusal to accept commission: Any first classman who completes the 

course of instruction and decJjnes 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 

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

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

fully supported by the Superintendent of the Naval Academy. 

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

scholarships annually to young men and women seeking admission to the 

Naval Academy to prepare for a career in the Navy or Marine Corps. Cash 

grants for these scholarships are made to participating junior colleges and 

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

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

counseling to individual applicants in obtaining nominations. 

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

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

of later applications can be considered. 
Naval Academy Preparatory School 

The Naval Academy Preparatory School, located in Newport, Rhode Island, 

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

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

The class is usually about half from the Regular Navy and half from the 

Naval Reserve. 

The Preparatory School offers college preparatory work in mathematics, 

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

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

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

and varsity sports programs complete the school's program. 

Applicants presently in a regular or reserve military status should apply 

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

including academic transcripts, the recommendations of their commanding 

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

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

promising and highly motivated of those civilian nominees who 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 are available from the Director of Candidate Guidance, U.S. Naval 

Academy, Annapolis, Md. 21402.

Questions and Answers 

Over the years it has been our experience that a great 

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

and selection for admission, and other basic information 

about the Naval Academy. The following questions are 

among those most often asked by prospective candidates. 

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

Q. Who can become a midshipman? 

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

moral character, without regard to race, creed or national 

origin. Candidates must be citizens of the United States, 

unmarried and have no children, and be at least 17 years 

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

year of admission. 

Q. What must I do lo become a midshipman? 

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

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

secondary school record, including college-preparatory 

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

and physical standards. Be selected for an appointment. 

Q. Where may I get detailed admissions in formation? 

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

guidance counselors, from your local Navy recruiter, from 

the West Coast Regional Candidate Guidance Office, NAS 

Moffett Field, California 94035, or by writing or visiting 

the Candidate Guidance Office, Leahy Hall, U. S. Naval 

Academy, Annapolis, Maryland 21402. 

Q. What service selections are available to women ? 

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

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

engaged in combat missions nor may they be assigned to 

duty on vessels of the navy other than hospital ships or 
transports" This constraint means that, at present, women 

midshipmen could expect assignment to administrative 

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

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

women will be commissioned in the line upon graduation 

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

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

for a line commission. 

Q. I r/011'/ know my Co11:~rc>ssmm1. flow rlo I .~c>I a 

110111111aliorr' 

A. It is 1101 necessary to know him personally Apply to 

the representative of your Congressional district and to 

both of your U.S. senators by mail, your applications will 

be considered carefully. (See Precandidate Questionnaire, 

pg 58.) Each member of Congress may have five of his 

appointees attending the Academy at any one time And 

each member may nominate up to le11 candidates for each 

vacancy. The essential thing to remember 1s that, by law, 

you must have a nomination to be considered for appointment Once you are nominated, you officially become a 

candidate and your record can then be evalu,1tcd by the 

Naval Academy on its merits. Even if you arc not selected 

to fill a Congressman's vacancy, 1f you have one of his 

nominations and have a good school record and otherwise 

meet the basic entry standards, you will have an excellent 

ch,rnce to become a midshipman [ach year sever,11 hundred 

of the best qualified alternate Congressional nominees are 

appointed to the Naval Academy by the Secretary of the 

Navy to bring the entering class up to authorized strength. 

Q. I'm in tlie Naual Rt'serve Ca11 I .~el into tl1e Arnrlemy? 

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

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

enter the Academy each year through the Reserves See 

vour commanding officer for details.

Q. If I am eligible for n Presidential 11ominntio11, should 

I also npply for a Congressional nominntion? 

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

chance you will have for selection if you are found fully 

qualified. 

Q. Is if difficult to enter directly from high school? 

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

from high school or prep school. 

Q. My grades were about nverage, b11t I plnyed in several sports nnd wns student body president. Also, I hnd to 

work nfter school. Will t/1ese activities help me? 

A. Yes. Evidence of leadership ability and participation 

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

Q. Is plrysicnl preparation important? 

A. It certainly is. Aside from helping candidates to do 

well on the physical aptitude test, men and women alike 

should be as physically fit at entrance ns possible, since the 

first summer is very demanding. Endurance and upperbody strength are particularly important. Cross-country 

runs, swimming, push-ups and chin-ups, and (particularly 

for women) the flexed-arm hang are valuable conditioning 

exercises. Be in shape! Or be sorry. 

Q. I linve n high IQ nnd nm a straight-A student. Will 

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

tnke any electives, such ns 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 many academic majors 

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

these and many other areas. 
Q. W/znt pnrt of the medical exnminntion gives the most 

difficulty to cnndidntes? 

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

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

qualified for admission, you will be considered a11tomnficnlly, based on your overall record, for a waiver by the 

Academy's Admissions Board. Since only a limited number 

of nominees may be granted a medical waiver, the competition for the available waivers is keen. Tt should be noted 

that n/1 nominees within waiverable limits (and otherwise 

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

Q. I don't like sports. Do I hnve lo try 011/ for anything? 

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

may not be the best school for you. A midshipman is required to participate in athletics, either varsity or intramural, for the development of character, physical fitness, 

and competitive spirit. 

Q. How much does if cost fo be n midshipman? 

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

are provided. In addition, midshipmen receive a monthly 

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

Salary and the value of the daily ration allowance ($2.92/ 

day) accrue to a midshipman's pay account while 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 flunk out? 

A. About ten percent of each entering class eventually 

leaves the Naval Academy because of academic failure.

Q. Do I get to fly? 

A. All midshipmen receive flight indoctrination in naval 

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

Q. Do I get to choose any of my 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, midshipmen 

must accept their second choice. The Navy expects that at 

least 80 percent of our midshipmen will pursue engineering 

or science-oriented majors. 

Q. How 11111ch social life would I have at the Academy? 

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

the initial (plebe) year, there is a wide range of social activities available. There are weekend dances and other 

extra-curricular activities at the Academy, and there are 

opportunities for afternoon liberties in town and for a 

number of weekends away from the Academy. 

Q. l am a liigli school freshman. ll\ll1e11 slioulrl l star/ 

preparing myself for the Acnrle111y? 

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

academics and your record in athletics and other extracurricular activities for your last three years will be evaluated 

by the Naval Academy. 

Q. l a111 in college. ls it too late fo enter the Academy? 

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

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

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

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

Q. If l failed to be selected for an appoi11tmenl for one 

class, am l eligil,le to apply again? 
A. Yes, as long as you still meet basic eligibility requirements pertaining to age, citizenship, etc., and obtain a new 

nomination (see Previous Candidates, pg 63). Also, each 

year, a number of the most promising of our unsuccessful 

candidates is invited by the Academy to enlist in the 

Naval Reserve for the express purpose of attending the 

Naval Academy Prep School. Here, they become eligible 

to compete under a Secretary of the Navy nomination. 

Q. When should I apply for a 11ominatio11? 

A. Apply to the representative from your Congressional 

district and to both your senators for a nomination, whenever possible, in the spring of your j1111ior year in high 

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

senior year, this is not advised since most members of 

Congress will have selected their nominees by this time. 

Q. What is my military obligation 011 grad11ation? 

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

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

Marine Corps. 

Q. Can I become a Navy physician or dentist? 

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

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

exist for present entering classes. If your primary interest 

is to become a Navy doctor or dentist, it is recommended 

that you attend a civilian college offering premedical 

studies. 

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

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

better plan to attend a civilian college offering pre-law 

studies if your primary interest is to become a Navy 

lawyer. Naval Academy graduates may apply for the 

Navy's law education program after two years of commissioned service. This is a very limited program, however, 

with only 25 officers selected from the entire Navy and 

Marine Corps each year. Officers not selected are required 

to continue their careers as line officers.

Q. My fnt/1er was in the armed forces. Will this help me 

to get a nomination? 

A. Sons and daughters of career members of the regular 

and reserve forces who are on active duty or retired may 

be considered for a nomination under the Presidential 

category. 

Q. What if a midshipman is found to be smoking marij1rnna or to be us111g other unauthorized drugs? 

A. The Naval Academy considers a midshipman's possession or use of unauthorized drugs, including marijuana, to 

be a most serious offense for which the normal disposition 

is dismissal. 

Q. Where do 111ids/ripme11 live? 

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

more than 4.8 miles of corridors and 33 acres of floor 

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

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

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

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

numerous other facilities. 

Q. I /,ave nominations to both the Naval and the Air 

Force Academies. Must I undergo two medical examinations? 

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

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

Q. What reasons are given most frequently by plebes 

who resign from the Academy? 

A. Resigning plebes most frequently say· 

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

After a few weeks as plebes, they feel that they have fulfilled their obligation to their parents and can resign. 
(2) They were attracted to the Academy by its glamour. 

They knew that the academic program was demanding, but 

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

on their time by the military and professional aspects of 

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

the regimen of a service academy. 

Q. As n male grnd11nte, w!tnt nre my cnreer cl1oices 011 

grndun/1011? 

A. During the first semester of the senior year, midshipmen found medically qualified for commissioning as line officers choose from the following service selections on graduation: (1) the surface warfare community, (2) the submarine 

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

(either ground or pilot/aviation officer training). Additionally, up to five highly qualified graduates may be selected for 

the Navy Engineering Duty officer specialty. Those not medically qualified for line duties are commissioned in the staff 

corps or the restricted line. (Women: See Assignments for 

Women Officers, page 49.) 

Q. How do I npply and whnt are my chances of getting 

into the Nnvnl Academy Prepnratory Scl,ool? 

A. No application is necessary from cimlian candidates. 

You will be considered automatically, based on your record, 

in the event you are unsuccessful in gaining an appointment to the Naval Academy. There are also ways (see 

current Service directives) for servicemen and women, 

regular and reserve, to apply for direct entry into the Prep 

School. Competition for the Preparatory School 1s quite 

intense, although it is somewhat less competitive for candidates applying for admission from the Fleet. 

Q. Is there a Nnvnl Academy representative i11 my home 

101011? 

A. There are more than 1,600 Naval Academy representatives located throughout the country. See appendix E 

for the state coordinator nearest you.

The Curriculum Challenge 

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

professional education and training at Annapolis will give them the knowledge 

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

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

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

today's Naval Academy offers considerably more. The Naval Academy is primarily an academic institution, offering in-depth studies in engineering, science 

and the humanities. The curriculum is demanding, and its many choices are 

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

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

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

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

every graduating class a group of individual line officers-all thoroughly 

educated at the baccalaureate level and well trained in basic professional 

subjects. 

Each midshipman must satisfy certain minimum course requirements in 

mathematics and science and in the social sciences and the humanities. Midshipmen must also complete a major sequence from a variety of fields designed 

to provide them with the academic background necessary for effective leadership in today's Navy or Marine Corps. Consistent with the Navy's technical 

orientation is the Academy's minimum requirement of having 80 percent of 

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

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

sciences. 

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

Seven engineering majors offered by the Naval Academy lead to designated 

degrees which are accredited by the Engineering Council for Professional 

Development. 

Choosing a Major 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

year of physics. 

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

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

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

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

whether their talents lie in a technical or nontechnical field. And, during 

plebe year, they may very well discover that their real interests and abilities 

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

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

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

meaningful academic experience in fundamental courses which test ability and 

help to evaJuate strengths and weaknesses. Approval by the Academic Dean 

of each midshipman's choice of a ma1or will depend upon the needs of the 

Navy and the educational background of the midshipman. 

The Common Plebe Year 

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

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

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

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

an element of commonality which enables the midshipman to progress into 

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

start professionaJ development. The normal academic load for a plebe 

consists of six courses each semester as follows:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

sequence appropriate to their backgrounds and ability. 

Writing, Rhetoric, and Literature, Designed to develop primary tools for 

further education and professional development. Includes intensive practice

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 are expected 

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

l eadership. An introductory course to instill in midshipmen a professional 

sense of purpose and personal honor, those military leadership traits and 

techniques which will insure credibility in the communication of their ideas 

and commands, and an appreciation for individual and organizational factors 

which inAuence their performance as leaders. 

Advanced Placement 

Prior to entering the Naval Academy, many midshipmen take courses equivalent to those offered or required here. We consider one or more of the 

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

examinations given by the appropriate academic departments, transcripts, and 

results of College Entrance Examination Board Achievement Tests and 

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

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

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

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

Counseling and Guidance 

Midshipmen are responsible not only for deciding upon their ma1or, but also 

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

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

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

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

number of courses, the midshipman may complete the requirements more 

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

complete second majors 

Although decisions regarding their academic program must be their own, 

midshipmen have ample opportunities for consultation with faculty members. During the first few weeks at the Naval Academy, they receive about 

20 hours of group and individual counseling on all aspects of the curriculum. 
They also take a number of achievement tests to help determine the levels 

at which studies should begin. 

Temporary academic advisers are assigned to the fourth class midshipmen 

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

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

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

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

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

academic problems encountered from plebe year through graduation. 

Nuclear Propulsion Training Program 

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

training in nuclear propulsion following graduation. Candidates selected 

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

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

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

to assignment in a nuclear powered surface ship or submarine, the choice 

being the individual's. Midshipmen who aspire to duty in one of these exciting ships can acquire a strong foundation by majoring in engineering, 

science, or mathematics. Judicious choice of elective courses in the scientific/ 

technical area and energetic application to the entire academic program 

improve the humanities major's chances for selection into the program. Each 

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

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

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

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

the following chapter). 

Professional Course Requirements 

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

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

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

midshipmen. Because the professional courses required subsequent to plebe 

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

requirements are specified with descriptions of the various majors beginning 

on page 91.

Distribution Requirements 

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

further study in selected majors, midshipmen must satisfy certain distribution 

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

a modem language. These requirements are specified for each major 

(chapter 7 ). 

Academic Organization 

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

four divisions· the Divisions of Engineering and Weapons, Mathematics and 

Science, U. 5. and International Studies, and English and History-each 

headed by a Navy captain or Marine colonel. The divisions are further subdivided into departments, 15 in all, which serve as focal points for the

administration of the majors program and for the continuing review and 

development of the curriculum. The departments are chaired by civilian or 

military members of the faculty. 

A fifth major academic area, the Division of Professional Development, is 

under the cognizance of the Commandant of Midshipmen. 

The Nimitz Library 

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

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

and recreational reading. A representative book collection 1s maintained in 

pertinent fields of knowledge, and the library is especially strong in naval 

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

Washington and Baltimore areas are available to midshipmen and faculty 

members. 

The library contains some 480,000 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, typmg 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 located within the library building. 

Academic Computing Facilities 

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

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

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

terminals are located throughout the Academy in areas convenient to midshipmen and faculty They are accessible from 8 a m. until midnight seven 

days a week. A wide va riety of useful computer languages is offered such 

,1s BASIC, FORTRAN, ALGOL, APL, and many others. Courses in virtually 

everv academic department reflect the impact of the computer An extensive 

public library of computer programs is available for instant use 

The Educational Resources Center 

The Educahonal Resources Center at the Naval Academy provides a broad 

range of services. It is responsible for production and distribution of closed 
circuit TV programming over the Academy's 12-channel system. There is a 

lending library of educational films, an audio-visual equipment loan pool, 

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

is maintained with videocassette programs for use by midshipmen as a 

remedial and tutorial tool. 

Special Programs 

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

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

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

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

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

field of study. 

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

postgraduate preparatory study program is to provide the fleet with better 

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

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

which in many cases will be acceptable for graduate credit. These courses are 

above and beyond those required for the baccalaureate degree at the Naval 

Academy. 

Grading 

The Naval Academy employs the letter grades, A, B, C, D, and F (A denoting 

excellence; F, failing), which are in turn assigned a numerical Quality Point 

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

Grades are averaged, using a weighted semester-hour system called a Quality Point Rating (QPR). The QPR is computed by multiplying the QPE corresponding to the letter grade received in each course by the semester hours 

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

number of semester hours represented by all the courses taken. A semester 

QPR (SQPR) is computed only for courses taken during a given semester; 

a Cumulative QPR (CQPR) is based upon all academic marks assigned to 

date. 

An academic probation system provides warning for midshipmen who are 

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

"I came /,ere becn11se I 

am serious about tlie 

business of learning." 

87 
. . .. 

"Going to t/,e Academy 

is something I have 

nlways wanted to do. It 

is definitely not a copout for blacks to go to 

Annapolis. America is 

my country and I want 

to get with it." 

88 

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

placed on academic pre>bation for the following semester. A midshipman is 

also placed on probation for the semester following any two consecutive 

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

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

and physical education, and for certain professional training conducted during 

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

weight in determining class standing. 

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

should be retained. A midshipman is subject to academic discharge who has 

failed two or more courses, has a Semester QPR below 1.5, has failed to 

remove academic probation, is two or more courses behind in the matrix of 

the assigned major, has failed to fulfill a requirement previously assigned by 

the Academic Board, or has failed to fulfill all graduation requirements at the 

end of first class year. 

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

midshipmen. The Superintendent's List honors midshipmen attaining a SQPR 

of at least 3.4 with no grade below C, and with grades of A in military 

performance and in conduct and B or better in physical education. Called 

"star midshipmen," they proudly wear gold stars on the lapels of their 

uniforms The Dea.n's list honors midshipmen with a minimum SQPR of 

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

professional studies, aptitude, conduct, and physical education. 

Graduation Requirements 

To qualify for graduation a midshipman must: 

(1) Complete the courses specified for the assigned major; 

(2) Complete 140 credit hours, of which a minimum of 16 credit hours, 

exclusive of the required English courses, will be in the humanities and 

social sciences. 

(3) Achieve a cumulative quality point ratio (CQPR) of at least 2.00, a "C" 

average; 

(4) Meet required military-professional standards in professional studies and 

at-sea training; 

(5) Meet required standards of military performance, conduct, honor, and 

physical education; 

(6) Accept a commission in the U.S. Navy or U. 5. Marine Corps if proferred. 
All midshipmen who graduate are awarded the Bachelor of Science degree by 

the Superintendent upon the recommendation of the Commandant and the 

Academic Dean, as approved by the Academic Board. 

Residence 

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

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

courses have the opportunity to do additional advanced work, pursue independent study and research, complete the requirements of two majors, or 

study other subjects for self-improvement or of general interest. 

Schedule of Instruction 

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

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

instruction and one week of examinations. The normal academic routine provides for five and one-half days of classroom, laboratory, and study periods 

per week. Small classes, averaging 20 midshipmen, provide ample opportunity 

for active classroom participation by each midshipman and for individual 

attention. 

Academic Emphasis 

The emphasis and diversity of the Naval Academy's academic program can 

best be summarized as follow: 

Seven designated Bachelor of Science degrees. 

Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering 

Bachelor of Science in Naval Architecture 

Bachelor of Science in Ocean Engineering 

One undesignated degree, Bachelor of Science, with majors in: 

Chemistry Physics *English 

Mathematics Physical Science *History 

Resources Management General Engineering *Political Science 

Oceanography *Economics 

• No more than 20 percent (combined) of the class may enroll in these programs

Aerospace Engineering Major 

Aerospace Engineering, an ECPD accredited major, focuses on the study of compressible 

and incompressible Auid Aows, conventional and advanced propulsion systems, vehicle 

performance, stability and control, and modern structural mechanics. It 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 propulsion lab; a rotor lab; low speed, transonic, and hypersonic wind tunnels; 

and a structures lab. Field tests are also conducted using a Aight lest aircraft, small 

surface effects vehicles, and a variable stability flight simulator. Computer techiques 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 ECPD accredited major is concerned with the analysis and design of propulsion 

power plant systems. It is nuclear engineering oriented. Students completing this program 

can expect to continue their education in the Navy's Nuclear Power Program or in nuclear 

or marine engineering graduate studies. 

A broad background in engineering fundamentals is provided students, who then apply 

these principles in their studies of conventional steam and nuclear power plants, gas 

turbines, and such advanced power systems as fuel cells and thermoelectric units. 

A course covering the principles of naval engineering systems develops an understanding of the principles of ship design and construction and introduces students to the 

problems of analyzing and designing systems for use in the ocean environment. Studies 

In modern physics prepare them for the reactor physics and reactor engineering courses. 

Studies in heat transfer-so essential in the study of modern propulsion power systemsfollow. Knowledge gained from these studies is then used in the analysis of marine 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 waste disposal system, 

and the concept design of an offshore nuclear power plant. A Bachelor of Science in 

Marine Engineering is awarded.

Naval Architecture Major 

Naval architecture, an ECPD accredited major, unlike most engineering disciplines unified 

by the nature of the phenomena involved, originally came into being as a discipline because of a single end-product, the ship. A special combination of knowledge and experience is needed lo develop, design, and build this single product, Variety exists not only 

in the kinds of work (design, research, cost estimation, management, etc.), but also in the 

types of craft involved-from sail boats to aircraft carriers, from hydrofoil boats to 

catamarans, from submarines to air cushion vehicles. 

Naval architects use both art and engineering in designing ships. Armed with imagination and experience, lhey convert functional requirements into a suitable, cost-effective 

design. They analyze and select the best dimensions and hull form; they calculate 

the power requirements and estimate the weights of the principal components. They design 

and analyze the hull structure and decide on the location of military subsystems, 

"None preaches better 

than the ant, and she 

says nothing."

machinery spaces, accommodations, and stores. Additionally, the ship must be divided 

into watertight compartments so that, if damaged, the chances of survival are maximum. 

Weighing and compromising all such conflicting needs in the design of the ship are the 

creative and challenging responsibilities of the naval architect 

Naval architecture at the Naval Academy treats most of the preceding facets through a 

fully integrated program of classroom sessions, hands-on laboratory work, field trips, and 

the latest in computer-aided design and analysis techniques. A Bachelor of Science in 

Naval Architecture is awarded.

Ocean Engineering Major 

Ocean Engineering, an ECPD accredited major, is the key to the last frontier on earth- the 

dee!? ocean. This is an interdisciplinary field involving the application of engineering principles to hardware systems in the ocean environment. The curriculum stresses fundamentals of mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering. electrical engineering, and 

oceanography, followed by the application of these fundamentals in ocean engineering 

courses which include analysis of ocean materials, power systems, acoustics, wave 

mecha nics, life-support systems, and a wide variety of ocean vehicles and structures. 

Laboratory experiments are conducted in the 120-foot towing tank and coastal engineering tank. Both are equipped with pneumatic ,vave-maker and in!itrumented with sophistisated sensors and on-line data acquisition and analysis equipment. The Naval Academy's 

computer systems are used in solving design problems. Sediment laboratory and environmental chamber facilities are also available. ~idshipmen have designed and are building 

an undersea habitat which will be used as a field laboratory. A Bachelor of Science in 

Ocean Engineering is awarded.

Chemistry Major 

Chemistry, an experimental science, is the most laboratory-oriented program offe·ed a t the 

Naval Academy. The laboratory facilities of Michelson Hall are unexcelled at t',e under• 

graduate level. Serious students of chemistry have ample opportunity to experi:nent and 

observe as they pursue the scientific method. Laboratory equipment includ,s single• 

pan balances, gas chromatographs, mass spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, anti 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 1s highly 

valuable for naval officers working in such technical subspeciahies as a ·etinspacc 

research, life sciences and support systems, propellants, and many others. 

The Chemistry maier is approval by the American Chemical Society An uncesignated 

Bachelor of Science degree is awarded

The major program in Physics: (I) presents fundamental physical concepts and principles 

in such a way as to emphasize their general usefulness and (Z) lays a strong foundation 

for further work in a broad range of technical fields. Some of the topics treated in the 

sequence of courses are the origin, propagation, and reception of waves of all kinds; field 

concepts, theory of relativity; basic theory of quantum mechanics; and statistical 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 al the Academy will facilitate 

subsequent specialization in any technical area. An undesignated Bachelor of Science 

degree is awarded.

Professional Training Courses 

The overall program at the Naval Academy is designed to provide midshipmen with a broad academic and professional foundation upon which they 

will be able to build competence in any of the warfare specialties they may 

elect to follow at graduation: surface warfare, aviation, the submarine service, or the Marine Corps. The development of a strong sense of commitment 

to the naval service and the fostering of high personal standards are major 

aims of our program. 

Professional development of midshipmen is the overall responsibility of 

the Commandant of Midshipmen. This development starts on the very first 

day of plebe summer and continues through graduation four years later. It 

consists of professionally oriented classroom studies (in all, 16 courses during the four years) and of drills and practical training conducted at the 

Academy during the academic year, as well as of professional training conducted during the summer at shore bases and at sea with units of the fleet. 

Included are instruction and training in navigation, seamanship and tactics, 

naval engineering, naval weapons, leadership, and military law. 

Each midshipman's professional development is monitored and graded 

throughout the years at Annapolis. These grades are considered along with 

grades achieved for academic studies in other (non-professional) areas of the 

curriculum in determining a midshipman's class standing at graduation. 

A summary of the Naval Academy's program for the professional development of midshipmen follows: 

Fourth Class Summer 

IntToduc tion lo Seamanship. Practical instruction in elementary seamanship, sailing in 

small sloops and yawls, powerboat handling, rules of the nautical road, and visual signalling. 

Physical Education Orientation and Indoc trination. Preliminary examinations in swimming, posture, and athletic ability. Physical education drills in fundamentals of swimming, 

boxing, wrestling, hand-to-hand skills, posture, and personal conditioning. Indoctrination 

"The value of tradition 

to the social body is immense. The veneration 

for practices or for 

authority, consecrated 

by long acceptance, has 

n reserve of strength 

which cannot be obtained 

by any nnvnl device."

and track. 

Small Arms. Practical instruction in nomenclature, field stripping and assembly of small 

arms. Firing of service pistol. Midshipmen who qualify are awarded the Navy Expert Pistol 

Medal. 

Indoctrination. The plebe summer indoctrination program is designed to provide a fundamental knowledge of the Naval Academy and the Navy and a thorough indoctrination 

into plebe responsibilities. The program is fundamental to the smooth transition of each 

midshipman from civilian life to life as a member of the Bridgade of Midshipmen. The 

strenuous and demanding regimen prepare the plebe for rigors of the four-year program and provides the basis for future development of professional competence, integrity, 

and physical and mental stamina. 

Fundamentals of Naval Hygiene. The fundamentals of personal hygiene, including 

mental and physical hygiene, and first aid. 

Fourth Class Year 

PEIOI & 102 Physical Education. Instruction in the fundamentals of swimming, boxing, 

wrestling, gymnastics, hand-to-hand skills, soccer, golf, tennis, volleyball, basketball, handball, squash racquets, and personal conditioning. Tests in applied strength, mile nm, swimming, boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, and on the obstacle course. (Women midshipmen will 

participate in hand-to-hand skills in place of boxing and wrestling.) 

Infantry Drill. Approximately 13 hours of infantry drill during both the fall and spring, 

four hours of which Jre devoted to Brigade dress parades. 

Na.val Science Three professional academic courses in the fields of naval engineering, 

leadership, and naval science are taken during plebe year. These courses lay the groundwork upon which advanced professional studies will be based. [ngineering topics include 

the basic operation, function and components of propulsion systems and auxiliary engineering equipment. Basic shiphandling, watch and battle organization, communications 

and command and control centers are topics presented in the f'irst of three naval science 

courses. The initial lcildership course is designed to strengthen each midshipman's sense 

of responsibility, accountability and personal integrity.

Third Class Summer 

At-Sea Training. Midshipmen are sent lo units of the Aeel on both coasts of the United 

Stales as well as the Sixth Feet in the Mediterranean and the Seventh Fleet in the Pacific for 

summer-at-sea training. Third classmen are introduced to Navy life at sea, to shipboard 

organization and relationships, a nd lo the leadership opportunities and challenges of a 

1unior officer. Midshipmen active participate ,n a wide range of shipboard tasks a nd 

evolutions under normal and simulated emergency conditions, both a l sea and in port. They 

stand deck and engineering watches, parlicipate in gun and missile evolutions, and become 

familiar with shipboard equipment. Each midshipman is required to complete a cruise 

training journal. Successful completion of a comprehensive cruise examination al the 

completion of the training period is required. 

Third Class Year 

PE201 &. 202 Physical Education. Continuation of instruction in tennis, swimming, boxing, 

and wrestling. Instruction in the basics of judo. Tests i.n applied sti:ength, mile run, swimming, boxing, and on the obstacle course. (Women midshipmen participate in judo and 

fencing in place of boxing.) 

Infantry Drill. Approximately 13 hours of infantry drill during both the fall and spring. 

fours hours of which are devoted lo Brigade dress parades. 

Naval Science. Four professional academic courses are taken during "youngster year:" 

The first two navigation courses presents an introduction to the ar-t and science of terrestrial and modern electronic navigation. Topics include chart reading, piloting (position 

plotting), and principles of basic weather phenomena. A naval engineering course offers 

studies in ship construction and system acquisition, material strength, and ship stability. 

The second of three leadership courses emphasizes psychology and considers the application of human behavior theory to effective leadership. The second naval science course 

provides instruction in the art and science of shiphandling, radar piloting, and tactics. 

Second Class Summer 

Aviatio n, Submarine, Surface line, and Marine Corps Orientation. Broad professional 

training in aviation, submarines, surface line, and the ?vfarine Corps at bases away from 

the Naval Academy. In addition, during second class summer, each midshipman completes 

four weeks of professional academic training at the Naval Academy which includes aAoat 

operations and tactics on yard patrol craft (YP's) and public communications. 

Second Class Year 

PEJ0l &. 302 Physical Education. Advanced instruction in tennis, swimming, the principles of personal conditioning, officiating, and the principles of hand-to-hand combat. 

Electi,•es in handball. squash and volleyball. Tests in applied strength, swimming, mile 

run, and on the obstacle course. 

Infantry Drill. Approximately 13 hours of infantry drill during both the fall and spring, 

four hours of which are devoted to Brigade dress parades. 

Na.val Science. The majority of a midshipm.1n·s professional academic courses, six 

courses in all, arc taken during second class year. Navigation II is a continuation of the 

first navigation course with emph,.1o:;is on celestial plotting, including celestial motion, 
devrlopment of various coordinate.- '.'>ystem">, -.olution of the navigJtion triangle, and rule~ 

of the nautical road. Naval Weapons Systems is taken, a cour,e which includes sensor, 

tracking, computational, fire control, and delivery system,. Naval Engineering II concentrates on the principles of operation of fo.sile-fueled ,team propulsion and gas turbine 

plants as well as the basic elements of thermodynamics. Course, m naval electricity and 

in electron,c< are also taken. The last of three leadership course< taken at the Academy 

is designed to enhance each midshipman's knowledge and understanding of responsibility, 

accountability and authority, management techniques, problem -.olving application~ for 

organizations. and the processes of decision-making. 

First Class Summer 

At-SH Training. Ounng their last summer of at-sea tram,ng with the fleet, first class 

midshipmen undertake the administrative responsibilities and stand the watches of 1unior 

officers Thev complete exten,;ive practical work in navigation, taking celestial sightings 

and determining the ship's position. They are required to complete a crui"e training jour• 

nal. summarizing watches and work in engineenng, ~eaman~hip, na\'igation, weapons, 

operations. and in basic fleet tactics. Selected first class midshipmen may (in lieu of train· 

ing at sea) participate in a Marine Corps cruise with the First \4arine Brigade in Hawaii. 

Here midshipmen learn first-hand what it is like to be an officer of Marine<, workinl! with 

\liarines of all ranks in ~arine ground unite;, and aviation squadronc..

first class year The second weapons cour<e provide, each mid<hipman with the principles 

rmployed in weapons c.ystems dec;ign, .,nd e'l(poc.ec; him to the complexities of modern 

day weapons system integration. A tactical \varfare -seminar, the capstone naval c.cience 

course, provides the midshipmen with a broad peric;,pective of naval warfare and tactical 

consideration< It al,o provide< the opportunity for in-depth study of areas of •pecial 

interest in naval warfare- A law course. d{'c;igned For junior officers, addres-.ec;, procedural

Professional Competency Review (PCR). The PCR is a comprehensive examination g,ven 

at the beginning of first clas, year which covers all professional studies completed during 

the first three years at the Naval Academy. The examination determines whether or not 

each midshipman has attained the requisite level of professional competence for graduation and commisc;ionmg. It also provides an opportunity for mid\hipmen to evaluate their 

own professional strengths and weaknesses, The PCR provides the administration with 

mraningful feedback on the professional curriculum (sramanship, navigation, engineering, 

leadership, weapons, and summer programs) and thus with a measure of how well the Naval 

Academy is achieving its goals.

Varsity and Intramural Athletics 

Just as the Naval Academy has a responsibility for the professional and 

intellectual development of midshipmen, so, also, must it fulfill its responsibility for their physical development. The late John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a 

World War II naval officer who rose to the highest office in the land, underscored the importance of athletics generally in his thoughts about football: 

"I sometimes wonder whether those of us who love football fully appreciate 

its great lesson: that dedication, discipline, and teamwork are necessary. We 

take it for granted that the players will spare no sacrifice to become alert, 

strong, and skilled, that they will give their best on the field. This is as it 

should be, and we must never expect less, but I am extremely anxious that its 

implications not be lost upon us." When President Gerald Ford visited the 

Naval Academy in June, 1974 to present the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy to 

the victorious Navy football team, he was no less emphatic in affirming his 

deep personal belief in the benefits of athletic competition. A third gentleman, 

President Jimmy Carter, lettered in two sports as a midshipman-track and 

cross country. 

The exploits of Navy teams in competitive athletics are well-chronicled. 

Midshipmen have carved an outstanding reputation in 22 sports from football 

to fencing, sailing to squash, and golf to gymnastics. Two Navy football 

players-halfback Joe Bellino and quarterback Roger Staubach won the 

Heisman Trophy, the college gridiron's most coveted individual prize, within 

a period of four years. In 1975, roverback Chet Moeller was on everyone's AllAmerica. And, in 1976, middle guard Jeff Sapp received All-American mention. 

Navy heavyweight crews captured the Olympic gold medal for eight-oarerl 

shells at Antwerp, Belgium in 1920, and in Helsinki, Finland in 1952. And a 

former Navy oarsman- Alan B. Shepard- was America's first man in space. 

In the mid-60's the Navy soccer team did not drop a regular season contest 

over a six-year, 48-game span. And from 1960-67, the Navy lacrosse team 

reeled off eight consecutive national championships, a feat unparalleled in 

"If you don't have any 

atliletic interest you 

probably won't be 

liappy here. I've 

learned to play and 

really enjoy a lot of 

sports that I probably 

wouldn't even /,ave 

known about at another 

school."

"T/,e civilian schools

If I got in, I wanted it 

to be on my academics. 

I didn't want to be

lacrosse history. They won again in 1970, and were runners-up in 1975. In 

1976, a Naval Academy graduate, Captain Lloyd Keaser, USMC, was an 

Olympic medalist in wrestling. 

Through the intercollegiate program, one of the largest in the nation, and 

an intramural schedule that is equally ambitious, the Naval Academy fulfills 

its responsibility for the physical development of midshipmen. Academy 

athletics are big, nationally known and respected, and put a high premium 

on excellence. 

Football at the Naval Academy dates from 1879, just 10 yea rs after Rutgers 

and Princeton introduced the sport at New Brunswick. The midshipmen have 

participated in the Sugar, Cotton, and Orange Bowls, and nothing better symbolizes the Naval Academy athletic program than the Army-Navy football 

game, a sports event in the same galaxy as the World Series, the Kentucky 

Derby, and the Rose Bowl. 

There is enough of a variety in Navy's intercollegiate lineup to satisfy 

virtually everyone's athletic tastes. In the fall, there is football, cross country, 

women's volleyball, soccer, 150-pound football, and sailing. Winter is the 

most active time of year with nine different sports in season-basketball, 

fencing, gymnastics, pistol, rifle, squash, swimming, track, and wrestling. The 

spring schedule includes baseball, heavyweight crew, lightweight crew, golf. 

lacrosse, sailing, tennis, and track. 
Women are encouraged to try out for, and participate as competitors along 

with male midshipmen in all Naval Academy sponsored intercollegiate sports 

except football, lacrosse, wrestling, and basketball. In 1976 77, women's 

teams competed for the first time m Naval Academy history at the intercollegiate level m volleyball, fencing, and basketball. The volleyball team was 

undefeated. 

Army traditionally is Navy's top opponent and the service rivals clash in a 

total of 18 engagements during the athletic year. Annapolis teams also face 

the perennial collegiate strongboys in every sport Notre Dame in football, 

Columbia and New York University in fencing, Lehigh in wrestling, Harvard 

and Pennsylvania in crew, and Maryland in basketball, to name a few. 

But perhaps even more a part of Annapolis life is the competition within 

the Brigade represented by the intramural sports program Every midshipman, with the exception of varsity athletes, must take part. Here all can 

participate, each at a level equal to individual athletic ability. Women are excluded, however, from participating ,15 players in the following battalion-level, 

contact intramural sports football, lacrosse, boxing, rugby, and wrestling. Intramural sports include: 

Badminton Field Ball 

Basketball Football 

Bowling Handball 

Boxing Knockabout sailing 

Crew Lacrosse 

Cross country Rugby 

Fencing Soccer 

Softball 

Squash 

Swimming 

Team handball 

Tennis 

Touch football 

Track 

Volleyball 

Water polo 

Weightlifting 

Wrestling 

Excellent physical facilities support the program. Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, seating 28,000 fans between the goal lines, was dedicated in 

1959 Halsey Field House is surfaced throughout with Tartan and includes a 

220-yard indoor track. There are more than 80 acres of lighted playing fields, 

,m indoor swimming pool, a 5,000-seat baseball park, a challenging 6,217-

yard championship golf course, and an impressive array of tennis, squash, 

handball, and badminton courts. An AstroTurf field provides an all-weather 

practice area for football, lacrosse, and soccer, and a recently completed indoor skating rink provides for hockey and other skating activities. 

The athletic program is administered by the Naval Academy Athletic 

Association, a non-profit organization with headquarters in Annapolis. The Association arranges the varsity schedules and provides coaching staffs and 

equipment. 

"Some of my f nends 

went to good schools, 

MIT, Brown, places 

like that ... Others 

who were good in 

athletics went to a 1ock 

school. I get the best of

Extracurricular Activities 

Life at the Academy offers midshipmen a wide-ranging choice of over 80 different extracurricular activities (ECAs). All are organized and sustained by 

the Brigade of Midshipmen themselves. From sky-diving to scuba diving; 

from an FM radio station, WRNV, to the ham radio club, W3ADO; from the 

Madrigal Singers to a ISO-member chapel choir; from blue water ocean sailing to small day-sailors on the Chesapeake Bay; from hockey lo rugby football, midshipmen are involved in exciting pastimes. 

In general, extracurricular activities fall into three areas: professional, 

recreational, and Brigade-support. It is not uncommon for a midshipman to 

participate in one or two from each group. 

One of the most popular ECAs- profess,onal and recreational-is offered 

through sailing. With one of the finest sailing fleets in the world, over 100 

craft in all, midshipmen have the use of an SO-foot schooner, Mistral, for 

coastal and overseas cruising, eight Class "A" ocean racing yachts, twelve 

-14-foot Luders-designed fiberglass yawls, thirty 24-foot converted Rainbowclass knockabouts, five 30-foot Shields sloops, thirty "420"-class dinghies and 

18 Lasers. 

Sailing activities include programs of the varsity sailing team and the Midshipman Sailing Club. The sailing team combines competition with professonal development by competing in numerous intercollegiate and other 

regattas This competition ranges from the single-handed Lasers to the ocean 

racers with a crew of 14. The Academy sponsors many of these regattas, including the McMillan Cup and the John F. Kennedy Memorial regattas in the 

yawls. There are dinghy regattas almost every weekend. During the summer, 

the larger yachts (60-foot sloop G11eniere, 58-foot Syren, 56-foot Allra11ce, 

48-foot lns11rge11te, 39-foot Fair American, 38-foot Patriot, 38-foot Fire/Jrm,rl 

and 3-1-foot Liberty) are sailed in the open sea in such races as the TransAtlantic, Bermuda, Annapolis-Newport, Marblehead-Halifax, and the ChicagoMackinac race. Midshipmen command and navigate the yachts both in Chesa-

Academy won the Fowle Trophy, emblema tic of overall intercollegiate sailing 

supremacy 

The Midshipmen Sailing Club combines recreation and professional development by emphasizing good seamanship in a cruising atmosphere. The highlight of the club's schedule is a summer offshore cruise to such ports as Bermuda and Halifax. 

One way or another, with dates or without, thousands of midshipmen 

engage in sailing during the year. Our encouragement of sailing at the Academy is no accident Rather, it reflects our long-standing conviction that lessons learned under sail contribute directly to a midshipman's professional 

development-for the skills and knowledge of seamanship and the se,1 gained 

under sail are the same basic skills and knowledge which have been used bv 
seamen for centuries. They are as relevant in bringing a ship safely home to 

port today as they ever were. Thus, by developing better seamen, the Academy's sailing program contributes to the development of better naval officers. 

The Naval Academy Yard Patrol Squadron, offering another type of professional ECA at the Academy, is organized for midshipmen who desire more 

extensive training afloat aboard the Academy's yard patrol craft than that 

offered by the regular curriculum. Similar to sailing, this voluntary activity 

supplements professional work at the Academy and summer training with 

the Fleet. The squadron consists of six 80-foot YP craft, one being assigned 

to each ba Italian. 

The organization and practices of the YP Squadron are very similar to 

those of Fleet destroyer squadrons on duty around the world. The midshipmen officers are selected for their ability to ful.fill command positions. The 

midshipman selected as squadron commodore is responsible for the overall 

performance and excellence of the squadron, including the coordination of 

training, proficiency competition, inspections, and cruises. Midshipmen assisting the commodore include a chief staff officer, two division commanders, and 

an administration officer. Completing the staff is an engineering officer, who 

supervises training in engineering and who ensures that engineering equipment is operated and maintained properly. Each yard patrol craft is commanded by a first or second classman who is assisted by a crew of 20, composed of midshipmen from all classes. 

Training is serious business during the week. Crews get underway on 

Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons. In addition to weekday training 

sessions, weekend cruises are conducted to Washington, Norfolk, Philadelphia, and to various Chesapeake Bay ports. A Bicentennial cruise was 

made to New York Gty and West Point in 1976. 

Competition between YPs for the Battle Efficiency Pennant is keen. The 

crew adjudged most proficient overall in tactics, deck seamanship, piloting, 

communications, and engineering is declared the winner for the year. 

The Scuba Club offers basic scuba diving courses taught by midshipmen 

instructors, all certified by the YMCA. The club provides tanks and regulators. Students purchase their own skin diving equipment from the club's dive 

shop at break-even prices. Over 200 divers are trained each year in basic or 

advanced diving. Once qualified, a member can enjoy club-sponsored trips 

during weekend liberties or leave periods to the Florida Keys, Virgin Islands, 

or Bermuda and to the wartime wrecks off the nearby coasts of North Carolina and New ) ersey. 

The Parachute Club also has its own midshipmen instructors. All are 

certified by the United States Parachute Association. The club performs

demonstration jumps at the Academy during half-time shows, June Week, 

and during Plebe Summer. Members are afforded an opportunity to qualify 

for military jump wings during summer leave at the Army's Special Warfare 

Training Center, Fort Benning, Georgia. There is also a Flying Club, with its 

own airplane. 

The Sportsman Club includes hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, backpacking, cycling, and skeet shooting. Because of the variety of popular 

activities offered, membership is one of the largest at the Academy. 

Our varsity debate teams regularly give an excellent account of themselves 

as they compete at district and national levels in over 40 intercollegiate tournaments each year. This includes an Academy-sponsored debate tournament 

in the spring attended by many of the top teams in the country. The History 

Club sponsors visits by eminent speakers on historical topics and conducts 

field trips for midshipmen and faculty to points of historical interest. The 

club newsletter features work of midshipmen. 

Professional ECAs at the Academy include a number of nationally recognized academic clubs and societies. Among them are the American [nstitute 

of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics 

Engineers, the American Societv of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society of Nuclear Engineers, Sigma Pi Sigma (the physics Honor Society), the 

Marine Technology Society and Omicron Delta Epsilon (economics and management). A chapter of the national Semper Fidelis Society provides midshipmen and foculty with an opportunity to share their common interests in the 

Marine Corps, including its history and traditions. Phi Kappa Phi recognizes 

superior scholarship in all the major fields of study at the Naval Academy. 

Each year, up to one percent of the second classmen and five percent of the 

first classmen are elected to membership by our chapter. Trident Scholars and 

other graduating first classrnen who have distinguished themselves in research while at the Academy may be sponsored by faculty members comprising the local chapter of Sigma Xi for associate membership in the national 

organization. 

The ECAs providing support to the Brigade are wide-ranging and popular. 

The Glee Club and three choirs involve hundreds of midshipmen. The Drum 

and Bugle Corps, a company size unit, performs intricate marching routines 

while playing traditional martial pieces or specially adapted popular tunes. 

The Trident Brass entertains with contemporary jazz, rock, swing, and stage 

band music at concerts and dances throughout the year. There are a number 

of small combos, including rock groups. And the Pep Band, offering a rousing 

combination of Dixieland, blues and fight songs, leads the Brigade at pep 

rallies and sporting events. 
The Masqueraders, the midshipmen drama and theater group, provide firstrate stage entertainments. The Brigade Hop Committee sponsors dozens of 

formal and informal dances. And the Juice Gang provides electrical and lighting support for plays and hops (dances). 

Members of the Brigade publish the Lucky Bag, the yearbook for each 

class; the Trident Calendar, a favorite Christmas gift embellished with photographs and cartoons; the Log, a literary and professional magazine featuring 

campus humor; and Reef Points, the "Plebe's Bible," a pocket size guide to 

Academy and Navy customs, lore and traditions (it also serves as a good 

dictionary for parents and friends to decipher midshipmen letters). 

In short, the broad range of extracurriculars offered at the Naval Academy 

offers something for everyone. For leisure-time entertainment. For professional 

enrichment. And, it's safe to say, for just plain fun.

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 Aag 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; an Academic Dean; and an 

administrative staff. The Superintendent, the Commandant, the Academic 

Dean, and other senior members of the faculty comprise the Academic Board, 

which makes major academic decisions and sets the academic standards for 

the Academy Military, professional, and physical training come under the 

Commandant. The Academic Dean heads the academic program. Today's 

600-man Naval Academy faculty is an integrated group of officers and civilians in approximately equal numbers. The officers, rotated at intervals of 

about three years, provide a continuing input of new ideas and experience 

from the Fleet. The civilians provide a core of professional scholarship and 

teaching experience, as well as continuity to the educational program. 

The Board of Visitors 

A Board of Visitors to the Academy, appointed annually, consists of the 

chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U.S. Senate, or his 

designee; three other members of the Senate designated by the Vice President 

of the United States or the President pro lempore of the Senate, two of whom 

are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate; the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U. S. House of Representatives, or his designee; four other members of the House of Representatives, 

two of whom are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the House 

of Representatives; and six persons designated by the President of the United 

States. 

Senator Bu,.1μcrs

Lituttnant General Krulak

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.

Prizes and Awards 

Prizes and Awards

marksmanship, and athletics. 

The Museum 

The Naval Academy Museum serves as an inspiration to the midshipmen of 

the Brigade by providing tangible evidence of some of the most famous and 

exciting episodes in our n,1tion's history Its collection of more than 50,000 

individual items offers a unique educ,1tional opportunity to the midshipmen, 

generally, while providing both fondly and midshipmen with ,1 valuable and 

convenient reference source for the study of n,w.11 history. 

While most of the museum's valuable collections are located within the 

museum, other items of exceptional interest and value are located in the 

chapel, Bancroft Hall, R,ckover Hall, and in other buildings throughout the 

Academy. The museum contains some of the finest ship models in the world, 

including the famous Henry Huddleston Rogers Collection; a superb collection 

of 13 historical marine paintings by Edward Moran; the Beverley R. Robinson 

Collection of naval battle prints; an outstanding collection of items relating to the life of john Paul Jones; the table from the mess deck of the battleship Missouri on which was signed the instrument of surrender ending World

The U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association 

The U. 5. Naval Academy Alumni Association, Inc., is a priva te organization 

whose mission is to serve and support the United States, the naval service, 

and the Naval Academy by furthering the high standards of the Naval Academy; by seeking out, informing, encouraging, and assisting qualified young 

men and women to enter the Naval Academy and to pursue careers in the regular Navy and Marine Corps; and by initiating and sponsoring activities 

which perpetuate the history, traditions, and growth of the Naval Academy 

and which bind its alumni together in support of the highest ideals of command, citizenship, and government. 

All former midshipmen of the Naval Academy are eligible for membership 

in the Association. Associate membership is available to a limited number of 

persons who have demonstrated their interest in and support of the Navy, the 

Naval Academy, or the Alumni Association. 

National headquarters of the more than 20,000-member association is 

located in Alumni House, just a block outside the Academy's gate. Constructed in 1739, and originally named Ogle Hall, it has served as the home of 

three Maryland governors. Alumni House has been beautifully restored and 

furnished by members of the Association. Files and records are maintained 

there on all who have taken the oath of office as midshipmen at the Naval 

Academy since its founding in 1845. 

In addition to serving its members through such activities as pubhration of 

an annual Register of Al1m1111, publication of the monthly alumni maga1ine, 

Shipmnte, support of class and chapter organizations, and the offering of 

group life insurance, medical, and investment programs, the Alumnj Association serves as a major source of private funds for the many needs of the 

Academy and the Brigade which cannot be met by federal funding. The 

Alumru Association is also the designated coordinator for all other organizations supporting the Naval Academy. 

The United States Naval Institute 

With headquarters 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. S. and foreign citizens interested in events and developments throughout the worldwide maritime community. Members pay annual dues and receive the lnstitute's monthly professional journal, the U. S. Naval Institute Proceedings, and are entitled 

to purchase Naval Institute books, as well as those of other publishers, at "It seems as if I /Jave 

reduced prices. been climbing tlie ladder 

The lnstitute's books include texts on professional naval subjects, training of success wrong by 

guides and manuals, scientific and technical works, and studies in naval wrong."

exceptional scholastic and leadership achievements whose eyes are without excessive 

refractive errors and will correct to 20120 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 astigm,1tism present, and the maximum difference 
in power between the eyes may not exceed 3.5 diopters.) Candidates who wear 

spectacles should take them along when they receive their physical examination.

from acute or chronic disease. Candidates wearing contact lenses must remove 

them at least three weeks prior lo reporting for medical examination. Normal color 

perception is required.

or 90 mm or more diastolic. The following are causes for rejection: varicose veins, 

if severe or symptomatic; heart rate greater than 100 on repeated examinations; substantiated history of rheumatic fever within the previous two years; recurrent attacks of rheumatic fever or evidence of residual cardiac damage; history of recurring 

rapid heart beat within the preceding five years (paroxysmal tachycardia).

Appendix C 

Foreign Students 

REPUBLIC OF THE PHTLIPPTNES. On behalf of the President of the United States, 

the Secretary of the Navy may authorize up to four Filipinos at any one time to 

receive instruction at the Naval Academy. Applications for these appointments must 

be addressed through diplomatic channels. The appointments are competitive. 

AMERICAN REPUBLICS OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES. Upon designation 

by the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Navy may authorize up 

to 20 persons at any one time from other American nations to receive instruction 

at the U. S. 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 subject to the same rules and regulations governing admission, attendance, discipline, resignation, discharge, dismissal, and graduation, as 

midshipmen at the Naval Academy appointed from the United States. Foreign 

students are not entitled to appointment to any office or position in the U. 5. Navy 

by reason of their graduation from the Naval Academy. The entrance deposit in 

the amount of $300 is required of all foreign students. 

Each foreign candidate must: 

D Be an unmarried, bona fide citizen of the nominating country and, unless 

otherwise approved by the Secretary of the Navy, be not less than 17 and not yet 

22 years of age on l July of the calendar year of entrance to 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 at the United States Naval Academy. 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 catalog 

before leaving their homes for the Naval Academy. Those with obviously disqualifying defects may thus be spared the needless expense of the trip to Annapolis In case of reasonable doubt as to whether or not the defects are disqualifying, 

it is recommended that a telegraphic inquiry be addressed to the Superintendent, 

U. 5. Naval Academy, Attn: Director of Candidate Guidance, Annapolis, Maryland, 21'102 U.S.A. 
D Be proficient in reading, writing, and speaking idiomatic English. Candidates 

may meet scholastic entrance requirements by submitting certificates from schools 

attended. They must also take either the American College Testing Program (ACT) 

test or the College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). 

Due consideration is given to the fact that these tests are prepared in the English 

language and not in the native tongue of the candidate. 

The naval attache or a diplomatic representative of the United States in the 

candidate's country must provide a report of the candidate's proficiency in the use 

of idiomatic English. 

Governments should submit the names of candidates as early as possible in order 

that they may qualify for entrance by the end of April and enter the Naval Academy 

in July. 

In lieu of the oath of allegiance to the United States, a substitute oath will be 

required, in substance as follows: 

I . . ......... , a citizen of ........... . 

having been permitted to receive instruction as a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy, do solemnly 

swear to comply with all regulations for the policy and 

discipline of the Naval Academy, and to give my utmost 

efforts to accomplish satisfactorily the required curriculum; 

do swear not to divulge any information of military value 

which I may obtain directly or indirectly in consequence 

of my presence at the United States Naval Academy to 

any alien government; and do agree that I shall be withdrawn from the United States Naval Academy if deficient 

in conduct, health, or studies. 

Notification will be given to the governments concerned that students found by 

proper authority to be unsatisfactory in conduct, shrdies, or health will be accorded 

the same consideration given to other midshipmen regarding withdrawal from the 

Academy or repetition of a year's work.

Appendix D 

Oath of Office and Entrance Day Procedures 

Candidates for whom there are vacancies and who have met the scholastic, moral, 

and physical requirements, will be offered appointments as midshipmen and be 

admitted to the Naval Academy. 

Each candidate for midshipman will be required to take the following oath of 

office upon entrance· 

"I, .................. , lrntnJJg beeu appointed n 1nidsJ1iprnnn 

in tlte U11ited States Navy, do solemnly swear (or affirm) thnt I will support nnd 

defend tlte Constitution of tlte United States against nil enemies, foreign nnd do111estic-; tl111t I will benr tlie tr11e fnitlt and nllegwnce to tlte same; t/1111 I will obey tlte 

orders of tlr,· officers nppai11ted over 111e, t/1111 I take tliis obligation freely, witliout 

any 111e11t11I reser1111tio11 or purpose of evasion, nnd tl111t I will well nnd faithfully 

./ <dr rr·e tlie duties of tire office 011 wl1icli I am 11bout to enter, so Help Me God." 

You will take the oath by holding up your right hand and swearing that you 

voluntarily bind yourself by its terms. You will also sign your name as a record to 

your oath. This must not be a perfunctory procedure in any sense, and you should 

consider carefully and understand thoroughly the obligation that will become yours. 

[ach will also be required to subscribe to the following agreement under oath 

For nnd 111 consideration of the privileges, opportunities, nnd benefits afforded me 

d1m11g tire conti111mnce of my scn•ice 11s a midsltipman, I agree to n11d w1t/1 tlte 

Supcri11tende11t of tire U111ted St,lles Naval Acade111y, ns follows: 

"First· To enter tire service of the Navy of tlie United States nnd, to tire utmost of 

111y power nnd ability, to be III everytliing confor111nble and obedient to tlte several 

requirements nnd lawful comm,wds of tire officers wlro may be placed ot•er me. 

"Second: I oblige 111yself, during such sen•icc, to co111ply w1tlr and be subject to tire 

Ll11ifom1 Code of Military Justice nnd suc/1 otlter laws nnd regulations ns are or 

slrnll be establislrcd by tire Congress of tire United St11tcs or otlrer co111petent nutlronty. 

"Tlrird: To submit to trcat111cnt for tire pret•cntion of s111allpox, typltoid (typlroid 

propl1yl11xis), n11d to suclr otlrer pret>entit>e 111easures ,1s may be considered 11ecessmy by naval a11thorities." 

Candidates are usually sworn in as midshipmen on the day they are accepted for 

admission, i.e., the date of reporting to the Naval Academy as designated in the 

Pern11t to Report issued by the Superintendent, U. 5. Naval Academy. Living 

accommodations in the city of Annapolis are limited, and candidates are therefore 
urged to time their arrivals in Annapolis to coi,,cide as closely as possible with the 

reporting time and date, keeping in mind, however, that transportation facilities between Washington and Annapolis and between Baltimore and Annapolis are 

limited. 

Midshipmen who are involuntarily separated from the Naval Academy prior to 

repayment of the entrance credit, are required to tum in all articles of uniform and 

equipment deemed suitable for reissue, to an amount sufficient to liquidate their indebtedness. If reclaimed articles are insufficient to cover the indebtedness, parents will 

be given an opportunity to pay the rema.ining debt; failing this, the remainder of the 

debt is canceUed. Midshipmen applying for voluntary separation for their own convenience are required to repay in full the amount of indebtedness prior to separation. 

Every candidate must present a Social Security card upon reporting for appointment. If an individual has not obtained a Social Security number as a result of 

work experience prior to entering, one should be obtained based on the length of 

expected employment as a m.idsh.ipman. 

Upon entrance, midshipmen will be required to obtain a regulation entrance outfit from the midshipmen's storekeeper. Calculators and drawing sets are included in 

the outfit. Candidates are advised, therefore, not to purchase these items prior to 

entering the Academy. 

After being admitted to the Naval Academy, midshipmen receive travel and 

transportation allowances as prescribed m Joint Travel Regulations (ordinarily, 

mileage allowance of 10 cents per mile for authorized travel). Midshipmen will be 

reimbursed for the actual cost of the.ir fares in commercial ships provided no government transportation was available. In those cases in which travel originates outside the United States, candidates must contact the nearest naval activity for information as to the availability of government transportation before endeavoring 

to procure commercial transportation. When government transportation is not available, a certified statement to this effect must be presented in order for the candidate 

to be reimbursed after becoming a midshipman. 

Shortly after entrance, each midshipman (except foreign nationals) will be required to complete a statement of personal history. Candidates should be prepared 

to furnish such information as: 

Names and locations of all schools attended. 

Family names, dates and places of birth of parents, service data if pare11ts are or 

were in armed forces; naturalization 1111mbers of parents if applicable. 

Relatives in foreign co11111Ties- rel11tionship and location. 

Names a,1d addresses of former employers. 

Names and addresses of three credit and froe personal references (credit references 

may iricl11de those of parents). 

Residences during past 15 years. (Dates, street addresses, and cities are required.) 

Candidates admitted as midshipmen will be required lo submit documentary 

"For they had learned 

that true safety was to 

be found in long previous 

training, and not in 

eloquent exhortations 

uttered when they were 

going into action."

evidence of birth to the Superintendent, U. 5. Naval Academy. A certified copy of 

the public record of birth is the best evidence. Supporting evidence will be required 

if the name on the evidence of birth is not identical with the name of the candidate. 

Except for candidates entering the Academy as citizens of certain foreign countries, 

as provided by law, all candidates born outside the United States must show proof 

of U. 5. citizenship in the form of a Department of State, consular, or other governmental report of birth. 

Each qualified candidate, before being admitted as a midshipman must deposit 

with the Midshipmen Store, U. 5. Naval Academy, the sum of S300, to be used to 

cover in part the cost of uniforms, clothing, textbooks, etc. The deposit is not 

refundable. This deposit should be made in the form of a personal check, cashier's 

check, certified check, traveler's check, etc., made payable to the Midshipmen Store, 

U. 5. Naval Academy. In hardship cases the deposit may be reduced to $100 by 

the Registrar.

Graduate Education Program 

Naval and Marine Corps Officers' Graduate Education Programs 

The vast majority of Annapolis graduates go directly to sea or to the Fleet Marine 

Force, thus beginning their professional careers in an operational environment. A 

few, those with outstanding records as midshipmen, may compete for a limited 

number of graduate scholarships. Several of these scholarships require enrollment 

immediately upon graduation from the Academy. Most graduates, however, will first 

complete their initial operational tour of duty with the Fleet before they may expect 

the opportunity to be enrolled in a masters program, either at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, or in programs offered at a number of 

participating civilian universities. Still others will have the opportunity to undertake 

graduate studies at a later time in their careers. 

JUNIOR LINE OFFICER ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC EDUCATIONAL 

(BURKE) PROGRAM 

The Burke Program is open to five qualified midshipmen each year in the fields of 

science or engineering. Officers who demonstrate superior academic ability and 

potential may be authorized to continue their education beyond the master's to the 

attainment of a Ph.D. degree. 

Although selected as midshipmen, graduates complete an initial operational tour 

of two to four years as officers prior to reporting to the civilian educational institution of their choice. 

U. 5. MARINE CORPS BURKE EQUIVALENT PROGRAM 

Open to five qualified (Marine option) midshipmen each year, participation in the 

Burke Equivalent Program allows those selected to be guaranteed being sent to 

graduate school approximately two years after commissioning. The field of study for 

each Burke Equivalent Program selectee is chosen by him from an extensive list of 

approved disciplines. 

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM 

Nationally known scholarships or fellowships are available to qualified graduates of 

the Naval Academy. Graduate studies may be pursued in various fields and in 

several countries while receiving pay as a commissioned officer in the Navy or 

Marine Corps. Among programs for which midshipmen have been selected in recent 

years are the following: 

Scholarship 

Guggenheim 

National Science Foundation 

Rhodes 

Olmsted 

Fannie & John Hertz 

Degree Atta inable 

M.S., Ph.D. 

M.S./M.A./Ph.D. 

various 

various 

various 

In addition, each year, a few highly qualified graduates apply directly to various 

graduate schools and are awarded scholarships.
