CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS FOREWORD FOR THE MUSTER Prom the time of Prince Henry ' s School of Navigation almost 500 years ago, there has been a recognized need for training of the men who go down to the sea in ships. Never in this long history has there been a greater need for such training than today and for the years ahead. You who are graduating from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy are entering one of the world s most demanding professions at an exciting period in its history. As populations continue to grow, as world resources continue to develop, maritime commerce likewise continues to increase. The free world is more dependent upon the sea than ever before, and the oceans are becoming more important. You are on the threshold of a new age in seapower, an age In which new vistas are opening up In the nautical sciences. In naval architecture, in marine engineering, and maritime operations. Those of you who are graduating will soon find that your education Is far from ended. Your future success will depend upon your ability to build solidly on the professional training you have received at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. It takes strong men to go to sea, men with stout hearts, men who are young in spirit, hearty, and courageous. The life of a sailor has always been a life of challenge, of opportunity, of individual responsibility and of adventure. For this reason, it takes a special kind of leadership to be effective at sea. It takes stamina. It takes imagination and initiative. Above all, it takes knowledge. Your horizons are unlimited. Your future holds a challenge no other profession offers. May you seize your opportunities, work hard in the tradition of sailors, and in all your voyages may you sail the seven seas of the world proudly under the flag of the United States upholding always the honor and integrity of your country.
