D. Wichert. E. Cooney, Lt. P. Nazzaro, Lcdr. L. Pearson, Lcdr. O. Thompson. Third Row: Lcdr. J. LaDage, Lcdr. W. O’Hara, Lcdr. R. May. “To develop efficient Merchant Marine officers who possess high professional standards, will accept and encourage progress, and are capable of individual growth and successful performance of their duties on the vessels of their nation.” This is the Mission of the Department of Nautical Science. To implement this mission, the department offers the deck cadet many varied theoretical and practical courses ranging from boathandling and mar- linspike seamanship to astronomy and naval archi- tecture. The proper combination of these and other courses produce deck officers that are a credit to the American Merchant Marine. 31 —

McCready, USMS HEAD OF DEPARTMENT The Department of Engineering has for its mis- sion the development of “Marine Engineers Second to None.” The success of the department is clearly evidenced each year by the great demand for engi- neers from Kings Point. The department has some of the best equipped laboratories in the marine field and its graduates rise quickly to the top positions in their profession. The courses offered are many and varied with a fair emphasis on practical engineering work. The department’s desire to keep ahead of the rapidly changing times is noted in the ever growing list of electives being offered. 30

MATH AIMP SCIENCE Front Row: Lcdr. G. Keyes, Mrs. Feldman, Cdr. J. Dittrick. Second Row: Lcdr. A. Stwert- ka, Lcdr. J. Drucker, Lcdr. P. Crum, Cdr. C. Oberist. Third Row: Lcdr. W. Bay, Lt. A. Rausch, Lt. A. Nickel. Back Row: Lt. R. Rod- man, Lt. (jg.) H. Lasher, C.W.O. J. Ciancio. Cdr. John M. Dittrick, USMS HEAD OF DEPARTMENT The enormous achievements of the marine industry in the fields of technology and automation make it necessary for the modem officer to understand the theories underlying the opera- tion of a modem ship. To this end the Department of Math and Science is dedicated. From basic trigonometry through nuclear physics, this department equips the cadet with the tools neces- sary to dig behind the hows and into the whys of the operating components of a merchant vessel. 32
