YAMASHIT Clockwise from left: Trooping the line during a Fall Formal Review; de- tailed shot of the Battle Standard; and marching on the Colors during a Formal Review. Upon entering Wiley Hall, one steps onto the Academy Quarterdeck. Locat- ed in the center are a ship’s wheel, ship’s binnacle, four rifles, and three flags. Every officer and midshipman who enters or departs Wiley Hall renders a salute to the Colors before proceeding. The three flags, curiously enough, are the U.S. Ensign, the Academy flag, and the Academy Battle Standard. The Battle Standard is a silent remind- er of the 142 cadet-midshipmen who were lost in action during the World War II. Unlike the other academies, Kings Point is the only federal training institu- tion which has sent her undergraduates out into the combat world to face the enemy and for those 142, to perish in his hands. The background of the Battle Stan- dard is thirteen red and white stripes without stars. This was adopted as the first merchant flag of the United States by the Continental Congress, but never confirmed by its Federal successor un- der the Constitution. Centered on the striped background is a modification of the Academy seal which is an eagle above a shield having the same horizon- tal stripes and an anchor. Located just below and toward the outside edge is a blue compass rose with the numerals 142 for the lost cadet-midshipmen. The colored streamers on the tip of the staff signify the Cadet Corps’ battle honors. The Battle Standard represents a way of life. One which only Kings Pointers can truly appreciate.

Kings Point has become a way of life for many of us over these past years. Almost as soon as we got here, we had to conform to a different life style. Regi- mental aspects soon took over our daily lives. Most of us, however, chose to stay and see what this place had to offer. Every God given right we had was taken away and given back as a privilege. Now, four years later, we look back and wonder if it really was that bad. In the beginning, not many of us knew what Kings Point was about or what we were getting ourselves in to. With Plebe Year came the horrors of calculus, phys- ics, and chemistry to mention a few. In addition, we had to leave the securities of our old high school days and find new friends to help us cope with this abnor- mal college life. Like on a safari, we faced new challenges and overcame ob- stacles as they presented themselves. Leering in the future, was the question of surviving the journey through Kings Point. After the completion of Plebe Year, the infamous first part of sea year came. Liberty from the school was par- tially achieved and a new growth would soon develop with world travels. Without even realizing it, the year at sea came to an end before we knew it. Along with a greater respect for the sea came a bet- ter understanding of what we were actu- ally being trained for at Kings Point. Yearned with the desire to return to the mighty sea, many of us may find our- selves sailing as officers aboard the same ships we were on as cadets. Still, for some, the year at sea may have been the experience needed to realize that the seafaring career was not for them. Like many previous graduates, they may choose to serve the maritime industry through a shore side job. On the other hand, application of the skills acquired at Kings Point might go into serving in the armed forces of the United States. Virtually everyone will have made his or her decision by graduation. Even the scarce few who will pull the traditional Kings Point move and wait until the last minute to decide, will land a job thanks to the reputation of the Kings Point name. Yesterday seems like that hot and hu- mid day on July 7, 1986, when the class of 1990 reported for the first day of their four year saga at Kings Point. Our time here has flown by now that we look back upon it and graduation came knocking on our door. Until we had those papers in our hand, though, life at Kings Point continued as we knew it. “The sea is our life. Our life is the world.” The aver- age mid- shipman at Kings Point will travel 40,000 nau- tical miles in about 300 days and visit at least 10 coun- tries, before he or she turns 21! Sea Year consists of two, 6 month periods that midshipmen (this refers to women also) travel aboard different vessels in the American Merchant Marine, which range from tankers carry- ing olive oil to general cargo ships carrying lumber and raw rubber. What do we do for 12 months? Well, it’s hard to con- vey the things we do, even using pictures. It’s even harder to ex- plain the extreme conditions we live under sometimes, like to work 16-18 hours in the engine room when the ship is pounding in the middle of a storm, and to have sweat off 5 pounds of wa- ter, only to go back to your room to find it in chaos from the ships pitching; or to have to go through 40 pitch black, cargo holds (twice) and every compart- ment on the ship searching for a stowaway that had been locked up, but that had escaped from his room through a porthole that he broke the night before. We found out what it’s like to tie a ship up when it’s snowing out, having to hold wet lines when you can’t feel your fingers; or to walk down a dusty road in Alexandria, Egypt, lined with beggars and crumbling houses (in the middle of the city) and to have more money in your pocket that any given family on the street sees in a year ( $100); or to nearly pass out in the bottom of an empty, 100 foot deep gas- oline tank on a tank ship; or to be told that you are going to Afri- ca for your last four months of Sea Year, but then be told when you get to Africa, that your ship is going around the world and that you’ll be 2 weeks late to school. We’ve met strangers who were willing to help us with a smile, for nothing, in a port that we didn’t speak the language (most ports), and we’ve met people poor enough to eat raw grain off the docks, drink the water drain- ing off the ships decks and beg for the shoes we were wearing. I don’t know how many count- less times I’ve seen old-timers immammmt come out to watch a sunset at sea, with the intrigue and fasci- nation as if it was their first time. Maybe this is because you re- main young in mind living at sea. Each day is a new experience, with an element of mystery in it. Perhaps what keeps some sail- ors from going ashore perma- nently is that they find a peace at sea that can’t be found any- where else in this world. These are the experiences that we, as Kings Pointers, go through, which few people ever go through. Our experiences have finely honed our senses and skills. We have developed a professional attitude, and seem able to set and achieve remark- ably high personal goals. The world truly is our campus, our playground. There is no doubt that each picture of Sea Year is a chapter of a midship- man’s life at Kings Point, a chap- ter that only he can tell. Within these pages are the places, peo- ple, and ships of our Sea Year, and are, at most, a few minutes of history frozen in time. I doubt that there is a Kings Pointer alive today that doesn’t grasp at all that life has to offer. Perhaps these pictures will show you why. 20 Editor: Kris Kallaway Staff: Sean Ricks, Bruce Matthews, Pat McGrogan, Brooke Socher, Senior Class of 90 photo credit. Right: Chinese junk in Hong Kong Harbor WHAT IS A MIDSHIPMAN? A midshipman is a guy who is worked too hard, gets too little sleep, takes verbal abuse no ci- vilian would tolerate, never seems to get paid, seldom gets a jump ahead of the system, rarely has a spare moment, is often asked to do the impossible . . . yet he stubbornly refuses to give up. You wonder why this fellow is willing to stand watch till he’s dead tired, to serve extra duty for numerous petty offenses, to lose the little liberty he rates, to sacrifice the many privileges most people take for granted. It’s not because he likes it, he doesn’t; it goes much deeper than that. This fellow is looking ahead, he has weighed the pos- sibilities and sees somewhere beyond the horizon a lot to be gained. What he often doesn’t realize is that he’s learning some things many fail to assimilate in a life time . . . he’s learning to for- get the words “impossible” and “discouragement,” to face a job squarely, regardless of its diffi- culties, and most of all to com- bine knowledge and ambition with common sense. - Anon. 1961 22 Clockwise: Sealand Settler, Schooner In Valpariso, APL Ship Leaving Port, American Falcon, James River Naval Reserve Fleet. 23 24 Mi SOUTH AMERICA Left Page Clockwise: Puerto Cabello, Venezuela; Rio De Janeiro; Rio Grande, Brazil; Peru This Page Clockwise: El Salvador; Peru; Vina Del Mar, Chile; Sugar Loaf Mnt, Brazil. 27 Clockwise From Top: Roman Coliseum; Miracles Square, Italy; Saracusa, Sicily; Carthage, Greece; Istanbul, Turkey; Right Page Clockwise From Top: Mike At The Parthenon; Alley In Athens, Greece; Fishing Vessels In Sorento, Italy; Scott In Greece; Castle On Coast Of Italy. 28 Clockwise From Top: Architecture In Greece; Kris At The Acropolis; Jennifer In Turkey; The Leaning Tower Of Pisa, Italy; Mark And Greg In Malta; Dominating-View Of The Acropolis. 30 Clockwise: Corinth, A Canal Which Divides Peloplenisia From Greek Mainland; Western Wall, Jerusalem; Mike And Ossie In Alexandria; Jennifer And “Friend” In Egypt; Castle In Naples, Italy.

Some changes were for the better, some were for the worse. We made lasting friend- ships, and experienced things that, before, we could only dream about. We also learned how to cope with extreme conditions, surviving countless Delano meals, all-nighters, and seedy bars. No matter what the situation, our comradeship remained and grew. This comradeship is expressed in these pages. Praying for more Hinie. L Whaaaaaaaat??? We love Kings Point, ohh-ahh 56 “No More! Zestfully Clean!! LIFE s I Which Club Sir? Lynn, Jamie. Todd Dan.

It unifies the goals of the class and represents the culmination of many Plebe requirements. Recognition grants the 4th c the privilege of be- ing intergrated with the Regiment. Probably the most significant as- pect of Recognition is the issue of when the ciass will be Recognized. Rumors fly rampant of the time the class will be recognized. In the eyes of many, it is the ultimate 4 c privi- lege, always within reach but diffi- cult to obtain. Before the recogni- tion of a class, the class must prove itself worthy to be part of the Regi- ment of Midshipmen. Recognition comes after the Regiment believes the class is up to par. The class then completes a “Run for Recog- nition”. Recognition becomes final after a ceremony with the Admiral where he announces that the class is “Recognized” by the Regiment. Victory!!

The team was in a rebuilding year and began with an impressive 4-0 start, under the relentless leadership of the “Little Admiral’’, Coach Barrett, and his staff. For those who could withstand the grueling lifestyle of a Kings Point football player now know the meaning of competition.

At the PAC Championships, Sheahan, Ballou, and O’Rourke all placed among the top 5 to help the Mariners to a second place finish while earning all-PAC honors. At the same race, Captain Jennifer Beck finished strongly in the women’s race and was named to the all-PAC women’s squad. At the competitive CTC championships at Van Cortland Park, the Mariners placed 3rd, edging rivals Trenton State and Stony Brook. Sheahan, O’Rourke, and Ballou ran well placing in the top 5 and notching all-CTC honors. Sheahan and O’Rourke would again be honored by placing among the top 15 in a strong field at the ECAC’s. Jennifer Beck, Patrick O’Rourke, and Greg Sheahan will all be missed next season as Kings Point harriers. Each of them deserve to be recognized as All-Time K.P.

Tech King’s College As seven seniors and four juniors of the mens soccer team returned from sea leave, the attitude was extremely positive. The actual result was nothing more than a very long and frustrating season. The defense looked strong with Gary Tyranski tending the nets for his third straight year. The fullback line was anchored by Mike “The Beast’’ Kerst, Andy Leoni, sophomore O’Leary and newcomer Mike Murphy. Midfield was dominated by Andy Ackerman and freshman Brian “Nice” Brown. Steve Souza and Jim Homan added their skills to the lineup. The strikers for the season were John “Cowboy Orton, Andy “Masamasa Fogle, and Mike “Yo” Martino. Three of the boys were named to the All-League team this year. Mike Kerst, Andy Ackerman and Gary Tyranski were named for the second straight year. There is extreme hopes that the Mariners will return to their winning ways in the coming '90 season.

The team was led by Dan Spano and Madonna Orton in the standard course and by Henry Cook in the Free Course. The team was led by seniors Dan Spano, James Webb, Henry Cook, and Jim Biles. The K.P. Rifle team was led through the season by Henry Cook and Jon Cullum with averages of 502 and 498 respectively. The team attained a record of 8 and 4 which was sufficient to win a slot in the Mid- Atlantic Rifle Conference. The rifle team got third place overall.

With four of five members from the A-team returning, they hoped to repeat as champions. The first match of the season was a repeat of the 1988 season, with K.P. coming out on top again with 9-8. With the toughest match out of the way, the team cruised into the finals with a 7-0 record. The Mariners earned a bid in the finals and were seeded number one, with West Point seeded number two. This time, the results were reversed when West Point took the match and the 1989 title with a 21-0 victory. 1989 Record: 10 Wins, 1 Loss 2nd place in Collegiate Men’s Martial Arts N.E.

Junior Bob Kocis’ school record toss at the Division III Nationals in the 35 lb weight throw capped a successful season for the Mariner Track and Field teams. This throw earned Bob an ALL AMERICAN status and it also set a new school record which had stood since 1960. Bob also became the first mariner to win an event in the prestigious ECAC Div III Champion- ships. Another highlight of the season was the men’s third place finish at the Public Athletic Conference. Here, the team was led by seniors Greg Sheahan and Pat O’Rourke in the 1500m and 3000m runs; Brad Pecherek in the 800m; Chris Williams in the shot put; and Kirk Rider in the high hurdles. The women’s team, for the first time in K.P. history won a team trophy for taking third place at the PAC out of nine women’s teams. Plebe Carpenter finished second in the shot put, third in the high jump, and fourth in the high hurdles. Senior Jen Beck won the 1500m racewalk, the only first place finish for Kings Point. Coach Bill Omeltchenko is to be congratulated on doing an excellent job with both teams. 106 Tim Ryan looks to pass in the D.M.R Chris Williams waits on deck A winning season, was unfortunate- ly not in the deck of cards for the Men’s Volleyball team. The team led by captain Paul Hastie and co-cap- tain Bob Bossa did however get a few good wins. With the help of players such as senior Jeff Elmore and freshman Dow Knight, the team played well against rival schools, defeating the SUNY Maritime team in five games. The team stands a good chance to improve with all but one of the starting players returning for next year’s season. Fordham York Queens Paul Hastie does the bump!

The Kings Point Hockey team had an up and down season. The team lost to teams they should have beat due to the fact that they were plagued by numbers the whole year, only having nine players that played the entire season. The team made it into the playoffs beating Stony Brook in the first round and narrowly losing to SUNY Maritime in the second round. The team was led offensively by 1st team all star Darrell Pilant, followed closely by 2nd team all star Lynn Bell. Todd Soper, also a 2nd team all star contributed heavily to the offensive. Others that contributed to the offensive attack are Ken Mattson, Jeff Kristianson, Mike Zacharich, Bill Ellis, Steve Meng, Ben Eustice, Quoc Nguyen, Bill Blaine, and Troy Greco. Dan O’Donnell hung tough in the net for the Mariners along with Ray Collette. The defense was led by hard hitting Joe Flanagan who was a 2nd team all star. Travis West, Rob Tracy, Dave Balok, and Brendon Donovon also contributed to the fine defensive play for the Mariners. The team would like to thank it’s best manager ever, Aaron “Barnyard” Bernard.

Two daily regulars and team cap- tains Kabir “Mohat” Kalsi and Grant Gabel “Geek” both won their fourth consecutive individ- ual titles in tournaments at La Salle and Wilks- barre, PA. Kalsi, who went undefeated in duals this year, moved to 134 lb weight class while Gabel moved up to heavyweight. Longtime rivals, Kalsi also beat Gabelivichsky for the “world title” in front of a sellout crowd in Crystal Lake, Illinois—a repeat of last year’s Vienna, VA match. Surprises included the return of Phil “Philly Wil- ly” Tomazic who never had a problem making weight but occasionally had sobriety problems. Another surprise was the fifty percent attendance rate of the coach—an increase over past years. A common thread binding the team was the realiza- tion that their coach Mike “Clue” Cigala had no wrestling knowledge. Injuries plagued the wrestlers incessantly. Tim “Eggroll” Young, Sam “Sambo” Lesky had short seasons due to physical injuries while Tony “If I wrestle I can’t see my girlfriend” Hernandez traded in his wrestling shoes for a skirt and left the team. Kalsi injured his foot the last dual of the season and limped to fifth place at the national qualifiers. Gable suffered severe cumulative effects of Ciga- la’s coaching and also placed fifth. The plebes are learning about coach quickly. Kevin Reynolds scopes the hefty babes, Chris Schroeder sets the clock ahead, Pete Ford twitch- es uncontrollably when coaches back is turned, and Wreath, Hague, and Saunders simply blow off practice. Other plebes consisting of John “Volp- ster” Volpe, Dave Hedrick, Rich “The Missionary” Blake, Kevin “Hacksaw” Reynold and Rick Hartwicke bonded quickly to the older members of the team. On a sad and final note is that Kalsi’s old high school teammate and roommate, Conrad Harrell, the team’s spiritual leader and a devout Morman frustratingly quit the team after only converting one person to the Morman faith.

My little Venison Gabes vs. “The Incredible Bulk Opponent caught leading Third base After consecutive ten win sea- sons, everyone thought that the ten win plateau was as high as the Mar- iners could climb. But head coach Neil Gederberg proved them wrong, leading KP to an Academy record 12 win season. KP finished the season with a 12-7 record and just missed making the ECAC Play- offs for the second straight year. Leading the team in hitting for the season was junior co-captain Dave Fontana who hit .378 with a team high 28 hits, 21 RBI, 9 dou- bles and 6 stolen bases. Sopho- more co-captain Mike McVay also had a good year at the plate, hitting .358 with 15 RBI, 7 doubles and 3 triples. Also hitting over .300 for the Mariners were senior Greg Suth (.341), sophomore Walt Hime (.316) and sophomore Chris Ket- terer (.313). On the mound, sophomore John Uhlmann was the ace of the staff, recording a 3-2 record and a 2.79 ERA. Uhlmann struck out 32 bat- ters in 29 innings of work. Also leading the way on the mound was senior Chuck Minton, who threw the first no-hitter in KP history against New Jersey Tech. Also chipping in from the hill were McVay (2-0, 3.86), freshman Ryan Vanderberg (3-2, 4.17) and sopho- more Brian Stackpole (2-0, 5.74). CHUCK MINTON- Two year letter winner. On the mound, Chuck was 1-3 with a 4.05 ERA. At the plate, he hit .167 with one double, one home run and eight RBI. GREG SUTH- a three year letter winner. He hit .341, fourth on the team, one double, two triples and six RBI for the season. He also scored 13 runs and was a perfect four for four in stolen bases. JOHN DUDO- a two year letter winner. John appeared in one game on the mound this spring, throwing two innings against Lehman College. MITCH GILLAM- a first year letter winner in baseball. Mitch scored five runs and stole a base in his rookie campaign on the diamond.

Coach also led sophomore javelin thrower, Chris Pecherek, to All American honors. Pecherek, the javelin champ at Penn Relays, placed 3rd at Nationals with a throw of 213 feet and 3 inches. Teammate Bob Kocis barely missed earn- ing his second All American title by placing 9th in the hammer throw. Kocis’ throw of 168 feet 08.5 inches at the Conference meet set a new school record beating out a thirty year old mark. At the Conference meet, Pecherek and Kocis won their respective events and senior Chris “the Guppy” Williams was the shot put champion. Senior Patrick O’Rourke was the steeple chase champion and he also placed second in the 5000 meters. Tim Ryan, Ron Hart, Jamie LeCompte. Art Miller, and Brad Pecherek were double scorers for the Mariners, who scored 152 points to beat out nine other schools. The women’s team surprised everybody by placing 1st in the Conference Meet edging out ten other teams. Pacing the team were freshmen Anna Maly and LaRhonda Carpenter. Together they scored in nine events. Maly set three Academy records in the shot put, javelin, and triple jump. Racewalkers Jennifer Beck and a freshman, Bobbi Postman, did well in their 3300 meter walk placing second and fourth respectively. Also making their first appearance at a track meet were freshmen D. Magnifico and K. Batalden who both set new Academy records in the 400 meter intermediate hurdles and 400 meter run respectfully. Overall, a great year for a great coach. Congratulations!!!

This marked the first year in six years that the Kings Point golf team had the privilege of hav- ing their own home golf course, and it just happens to be one of the nicest in the state. Thanks to good public relations by Coach and Athletic Director Susan Petersen-Lubow, the Tam O’Shanter Club in Brookeville allowed the team to use its beautiful course for home matches and practice. The course is very well kept as members pay a hefty fee to ensure that it stays that way. All players enjoyed playing the course and did not find it easy for the blue tees as it measured up to over 7000 yards and had a 73.6 rating. Bruce Petersen (brother of Sue) assumed the responsibility of coaching. A former Maryland Terrapin Varsity basketball player, Petersen is also a talented golfer with a swing that could easily compete on tour. The team won half of its matches as it competed against schools such as N.Y. Tech, Army, N.Y.U., Dowling, Nassau, Wagner, Stevens Tech, and Queens. Second classman Martin Kegel (Wilmington, NC) led off all matches as the 1 spot. Seniors who regularly competed included: Jay Webb (Knoxville, TN), Mike Mullahy (Los Angeles), and Andy Schober (The BRONX). The team looks forward to its first season of Fall golf in 1990.

Power, and Crew Squadron U. S Merchant Manne Academy Kings Point. New York 11024-1699 SAILING MASTER � LETTER TO THE CLASS OF 1990 Dear Sailor� and Friends: Every now and then when you chance lo reflect on these 1400 odd yesterdays, remember the dreams and visions that we shared. Our world and your world changed in dramatic and profound ways. Our Sailing, Power, and Crew Squadron did nothing less. The size of our Squadron increased and the opportunities to learn the skills of seafaring and to learn about ourselves evolved into creating the most unique waterfront program in the world. So much happened over the years; so much changed. In the years 1986-1990, look back at the changos in ourselves. We grew older; we grew wiser, and we felt the salt of the sea course through our heart and into our soul and a great voyage began. It is all too easy to forget these changes and feelings as the years slip farther and farther into the depths of the sea and the depths of age. It takes courage not to forget both the good and the bad. Spontaneity, change, surprise and power are all hallmark characteristics of the sailor and the sea. I would wish nothing less for you all as new voyages begin. When the storms of life blow hard upon you, as they shall, remember that the careful and courageous sailor will endure. It is care, concern, compassion, and respect that will save a ship in a gale's full fury, and not the reckless abandon of a demanding and unbending fool. Conversely, when the winds blow fair, though they might be strong, the ship and the sailor must strive to bend on all canvas to the wind, less the ship and the sailor find themselves passed by others and becalmed in Che doldrums of complacency. Finally, it is important to remember that a ship moves fastest when in balance: when wind, sea, helm, and sail are working in harmony and each is giving to the other and not taking away. May you find your voyages happy ones, filled with all that a voyage can be. May warm fair winds and gentle following sea carry you on to your destinies. Christopher J. McMahon Master Mariner Director of Waterfront Activities Sailing Master - ...........— Envy leads the pack during the M.B.F.S. Jeff “House” M. Chuck M. during the ’round L.l. Flamin' does the intense concentration thing Holding the lead The USMMA Offshore Sailing Team has enjoyed another successful fall season. The boats were very active in a variety of Long Island Sound regattas. Hard work and dedication combined to help the team stay in top form, with daily practices and guidance from the new Offshore Coach Scott Ikle. The practicing paid off on the race course. This fall, Flamin’ and Envy entered several local races. Flamin’ took a first in the Manhasset Bay Race Week and a second in the Corinthians Intercollegiate Regatta after a tie-breaker with USCGA. Envy came on strong at the end of the season, placing in the upper quarter of the fleet of the Manhasset Bay Fall series. In the Newsday Around L.l. Race, Envy placed midfleet, but Flamin’ had to retire because of a ripped main. The Academy’s third vessel Seventh Son spent most of the season being restored to mint condition, with the addition of a new engine, headsail, and other high tech racing gear. The Offshore team has aquired a new boat, a Tripp 40’, called Leverage. She will eventually replace Flamin’ in the lineup. Leverage is a highly competitive boat, with a four spreader rig, el- liptical keel, and a PHRF handicap rating of 60. Though the midshipmen are excited about the new boat, they are saddened by the departure of Flamin’, one of the most successful offshore racers in the Academy’s history. 137 420’s at the start Tommy H. takes the jibe mark Techs on the run Sue M. in style at Navy Chris N. and Matty S. cut a crest Evening practice at home Tommy H. heads out to the course Sue M.

Strong finishes in major events have ranked K P among the top ten teams for most of the fall season, led by John Porter and Chris Newton. Porter performed well in the singlehanded divisions of the Nevins Trophy at K P and the Navy Fall Invite at the US Naval Academy, finishing second in both events. Newton won the “B” division at Nevins and placed eighth in the highly competitive “A” division at the Navy Invite. Both John and Chris are strong candidates for All American Honors in the Spring. Two important events took place at the beginning of this season which has helped to shape the team. Mike Mergenthaler was named as Direc- tor of Intercollegiate Sailing and Head Coach, while Scott Ikle continued his tour as Assistant Coach. Then in late August, the new fleet of 420’s arrived, replacing the old fleet and adding variety to practices which had been limit- ed to sailing the Techs and Lasers.

Bruce M. on Dawn Star Since last spring, the Power Squadron has received several new vessels. Because of this, there has been an in- crease in the number of midshipmen participating as well as variety added to the scope of the Power Squadrons activities. The addition of Poseidon and Neptune, two former Coast Guard vessels, has provided new opportunities for midshipmen as skippers and chief engineers to help lead the fleet. The crews of these two vessels have been working double duty since Atlantis, the new replacement for the aging Neried, arrived late last summer. The Atlantis, a T-boat which had been maintained by NOAA for the past few years, offers berthing for ten and the op- portunity for overnight cruises for her crew, something that was not possible aboard the Neried. Poseidon, Liberator, Wings Of The Morning, and several of the other Academy’s launches and whalers assisted with the rescue efforts following the crash of the US Air 737 at LaGuardia Airport. The Academy was later thanked by the Coast Guard, who commented on the professionalism shown by the young mariners. Flag Landing continues to be the departure point for many special voyages. S V Dawn Star competed in this years storm-filled Marion-to- Bermuda Race. After experiencing twenty-five foot seas and fifty knots of wind southbound, she finished in the up- per third of the fleet. Then, following the visit of the Danish sail vessel George Stage, the Power Squadron settled down to the fall season of V.I.P. cruises and training excursions. Highlights included a trip to Block Island by Dawn Star and Dragoon. Already in the planning stages for next summer is a sail down the east coast for S V Contessa and Dawn Star to visit USMMA Alumni chapters in Philadelphia, D.C., Baltimore, and Norfolk. Also looked forward to is the much awaited arrival of Dragoon’s replacement, Mariner. w smi e ZTo Brian A. and crew prepare for a morning race Preparation, Concentration, Victory Darin D. rigs the shell for the start 142 Teamwork in and out of the water Getting in a good stretch SEA FEVER I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking. And a gray mist on the sea’s face and a gray dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the seagulls crying. I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life. To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quite sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over. JOHN MASEFIELD Kings Pointer, Atlantis, Nereid Hague Basin, launches whalers That lonely S. Dock shack All midshipmen mature from landlubbers to professional seamen by the end of their four years at Kings Point. Through a combination of required and elective academic courses, midshipmen learn the theory behind ship handling, engine operation, navigation, and weather. Then, the waterfront takes it one step further and puts midshipmen in the boat where they can fully develop their knowledge and skills by seeing theory at work. Upon graduation, midshipmen are fully prepared to'handle any ship, operate its power plant, and lead its crew. As freshmen, midshipmen learn the basics of handling small vessels and launching lifeboats. As sophomores, they are taught how to sail, interpret wind and weather, and operate simple engines. When juniors, they are put in charge of larger boats, refining their skills and understanding of seamanship and engineering. When they become seniors, they are ready to command KINGS POINTER, the Academy’s 150 foot ocean—going tug. The Seaman Between the innocence of infancy and the recklessness of adultery comes that unique species or humanity known as a Seaman. Seamen can be found in bars, in arguments, in bed. in debt and intoxicated. They are tall, short, fat. thin, dark, fair, but never normal. They hate ships’ food, chief engineers, writing letters, sailing on Saturdays and dry ships. They like receiving mail, pay-off day, nude pin-ups, sympathy, complaining and beer. A Seaman is Sir Galahad in a Japanese brothel, a psychoanalyst with “Deadens’ Digest ’ on the table, JDon Quixote with a discharge Book, the saviour of mankind with his back teeth awash. Valentino with a fiver in his pocket and Democracy personified in a Ded Chinese prison cell. A Seaman’s secret ambition is to change places with a shipowner for just one trip, tb own a brewery and to be loved by everyone in the world. A Seaman is a provider in war and a parasite in peace. No-one is subject to so much abuse, wrongly accused so often and misunderstood by so many as a Seaman. He has the patience of Job, the honesty of a fool and a heaven- sent ability to laugh at himself. When he returns home from a long voyage no-one else but a Seaman can create such an atmosphere of Suspense, excitement and longing as he walks through the door with the magic words on his lips: “Have you got the beer in.

Under the leadership of Club President Gary Reed ’90 and Treasurer Bob Murphy, the Club held a five mile “Fun Run,” KP Lotto, and one of the most de- structive Boards Days in recent KP history, culminating with a large food fight in Delano. August was a busy month for the MDA Club, during which a formal re- view was held for the 1989 Nassau County poster child. Other social events included attendance to the New York and Las Vegas telethons where midshipmen answered tele- phones, assisted in crowd control, and stood security watches. On the Las Vegas trip, Capt. Vernon, GSgt. Kommer, and Ens. Drogalis accom- panied the group of ambitious juniors and seniors.

Midshipmen Council serves as the voice of the regiment, raising and dis- cussing issues with the “Ivory Palace’’ concerning our welfare and quality of life. Topics of discussion have ranged from food quality in the commissary, to academic and regimental policies that do not sit well with the regiment. During the A-split year, President Bob Desrosiers was successful in implement- ing the use of government vans to take midshipmen to and from the airport for Christmas vacation, replacing soda ma- chines with units that accept dollar bills, as well as the sale of contraceptives in the Ships Service Store. During the B-split year, President Scott Spears was able to improve the line of communication between faculty and midshipmen through scheduled meetings, minimize the emergence of “scab patties’’ in Delano, and reduce food prices at the Seafarer for midship- men. All midshipmen are encouraged to voice their opinions and differences at the weekly meetings. _J CLASS OFFICERS SECOND CLASS: President J.C.

The Varsity Club for the 1989-1990 year was head- ed by Dave Morgan ’90, who was successful in orga- nizing the concession stand in time for the football sea- son. In addition to throwing the little footballs to us in the stands, the Club sold fund raiser items such as USMMA ski hats. The Var- sity Club operated the con- cession stand during home basketball games and swimming meets as well. This year, Dave Morgan also served on the USMMA Athletic Board as the mid- shipman representative.

Most notably, during January of 1989, the Band marched in the Presidential In- augural Parade in Washington, D.C. for President Bush. Officer Advisor Capt. Kenneth Force, USMS has been instrumental in maintaining an active schedule for the Band both on and off the Academy grounds. In ad- dition to performing for morning col- ors and all regimental reviews, the Band has also served as a major pub- lic relations tool for the Academy. This year, the Regimental Band per- formed at the 105th National Horse Show, which was held for the first time at the Meadowlands Arena in NJ. Other events included performances at the opening of a new APL terminal in Bayonne, NJ, and the 100th Anni- versary of the Stamford Yacht Club in CT. Another component of the Band, which was just as busy, were the Fan- fare Trumpets under the leadership of James Louer ’90.

In the Fall, the Arts and World Affairs Committee host- ed a play-group from Ireland during their tour of the United States and Canada. They performed Sean O’Casey's “Juno and the Pay- cock” and also entertained the au- dience with Irish song and dance. During the Winter season, the Club attended “The Christmas Spectac- ular” and the Moscow Circus, both of which were performed at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. During the second half of the year, the Club had the opportunity to attend some of the most popular Broadway shows including “Les Miserables,” “Phantom of the Op- era,” and “Cats.” A trip was also made to Lehman Center for a spe- cial appearance by James Galway and the Tokyo String Quartet. SNAME CLUB The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) is: “A society organized in 1893, to advance the art, science, and practice of Naval Architecture, Shipbuilding, and Ma- rine Engineering; commercial and governmental, in all of their branches of the Allied Arts and Sciences, and to promote the professional integrity of its members.” SNAME allows for members of the maritime industry to pool their resources and address ma- jor developments and problems through paper presentations and jour- nal publications. In fact, the marine engineering majors at the Academy are issued SNAME publications such as Harrington’s Marine Engineering and Taggart’s Ship Design and Con- struction. The SNAME Club at the Academy is the Student Section of the NY Met- ropolitan Section of SNAME, and was headed by Club Chairman Eric Liu ’90. The officer advisor was Professor Paul Baham, who had been instru- mental in making the club active. Dur- ing the 1989-1990 year, attendance by midshipmen to NY Metropolitan meetings was strong, especially to the annual meeting in NYC. In April 1990, a NY Metropolitan meeting was held at the Academy on ship operations, management, and economics. 89.5 CLUB Most midshipmen are not familiar with the five year option that is offered at Kings Point, but it is one of the “best kept secrets” here. In fact, the 89.5ers numbered 28 in the Class of ’90, showing a strong representation in the class. ETHNIC CULTURE CLUB The Ethnic Culture Club seeks to promote and enhance the awareness of cultural pluralism and ethnic diver- sity among the regiment of midship- men. The Club was under the leader- ship of Co-Chairmen Ossen D’ Haiti ’90 and Chris Williams ’90 for the 1989-1990 year. During the year, so- cial events included visits to Little Italy for the Feast of Saint Genarro and to Rockefeller Center for the lighting of the Christmas tree, as well as activi- ties at Smith College, Mount Holyoke College, and the College of New Ro- chelle. The Club also attended the Fourth Annual Black Engineers Con- ference and the B.R.A.I.N.Y. Confer- ence. The staff advisors for this year were Cdr. Ferguson, USMS and Capt. Jenkins, USMS.

PROPELLER CLUB TO PROMOTE, FURTHER AND SUPPORT AN AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE TO AID THE DEVELOPMENT OF RIVER, GREAT LAKES AND HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS The Propeller Club is a student port chapter that is affiliat- ed with the senior Port of New York chapter. The basic goal of the National club is to promote a strong, prosperous, American flag merchant marine. This year, Co-Presidents Michael DiMauro ’90 and Jennifer Lehman ’90 raised enough money to attend the National Convention in Honolulu with four other members. Last Fall, the Club hosted the newly appointed Maritime Administrator, Capt. Warren Leback, to discuss current maritime issues. Members of the Club were always present at the Port of New York meetings to repre- sent the Academy.

Watch standers have the responsibility of making rounds between the two computer rooms to check the equipment, per- sonnel utilizing the equipment, and to aid anyone with a question. Present hardware includes Apple Macintoshes, IBM PCs, laser printers, and a plethora of obsolete monitor and terminal sets for the Dart- mouth Time Sharing System. These lab spaces are especially busy the night before labs and papers are due, or when it is interview time for the seniors. This year’s advisor was Jan Genemans ’89 and the club president was Matthew York ’90. MUSEUM WATCH Many unique and noteworthy items are included in the Museum’s inventory. Among the 50 ship models regularly on display in the 10 exhibit rooms are an 18-foot model of the famous passenger ship SS WASHING- TON and a 16-foot WWII Liberty ship. There is also a collection of rare antique naviga- tional instruments and paintings depicting famous ships. Other exhibits include hundreds of hand- somely-displayed coffee cups, each differ- ent and bearing the emblem of the shipping line from whose vessel the crockery came. A magnificent item in the Museum’s collection is the Hales Blue Riband Trophy, a large gilt award last won in 1952 by the SS UNITED STATES for the fastest trans-Atlantic cross- ing ever by a passenger liner.

In particular, the Student Section encourages students inclined in the Naval Engineering community, and through increased participation in the af- fairs of the Society, to establish closer personal associations with professionals working in the many areas of Naval Engi- neering. This year, the Student Section was headed by President James Dolan '90 and Vice-President James Louer ’90. In addition to attending monthly NY Metro- politan meetings, the Student Section hosted lectures at the Academy, one of which was presented by Wartsila Diesel on shipboard re-engining. The group vis- ited the nuclear power plant at Indian Point in Upstate NY, and also attended the Annual Convention in Washington, D.C. James Louer (VP) and James Dolan (Pres.) ’90 Advisor Capt.

The officer advisor was Capt. Charles Renick, USMS who arranged work details for the Honor Guard that promoted favorable relations with the public. Examples of these work details included conducting tours, ushering at parade reviews, v and bell ringing at home football games. -7— Eric R. Liu ’90 served as the Regimental Honor Guard Commander for the first rotation, supervising the orga- nized functions for the A-split year. Major events included an ushering detail at South Street Seaport in NYC, the Acceptance Day parade review, Homecoming Weekend, an open house for the Class of 1994, as well as the weekend football games. At the end of the rotation, a trip was made to NYC which included visits to the Statue of Liberty, the World Trade Center,.and Rockefeller Center. I Jennifer Lehman '90 served as the Regimental Honor Guard Commander for the second rotation, organizing a trip down to Washington, D C. to visit nominating con- gressmen and their aides. The trip served to educate them about the Academy. The Honor Guard also hosted visiting students from the French Maritime Academy during Feb- ruary 1990. Other B-split functions included a Spring open house for the Class of 1994; formal reviews for Armed Forces Day and Maritime Day, as well as June Weekend. For 1989-1990, the outstanding Honor Guard member awardees were Mark Marino ’93, Steve Meng ’93, Bryn Henderson ’93, Scott Saunders ’93, and Joe Ferguson ’93.' 1990 B-split Honor Guard members “Dis is no Girly-Man” M n “X” commits a chuck key violation “Sir, permission to make a ding-a-ling!” First Class plebes )thing that a little paint couldn’t fix wish I had gone Active Duty!

Not many people realize the amount of time and effort required to put together a yearbook. Most people take it for granted and just expect to receive their yearbook sometime during the year. Once the book is given out, a vast majority of us will first flip through the book to see how many times we were included (if at all). Upon a second glance, we try to identify those people that we know and maybe even say to our- selves, “Oh, that’s who that was!’’ Finally, after prob- ably a few years, the dusty book is taken out and given a close look (some of the text being read for the first time). A successful book will most likely be for- gotten, but one such as the 1989 Midships will long be remembered due to its disappointment. The point that is trying to be made is ... if you are not satisfied with these results, ask yourself if you assisted in determining this final outcome. We, the 1990 Mid- ships staff, hope you find our efforts worthwhile. Tim Whalen, Photography Editor Personal Ad - Oscar Prada CDR. Kenneth Cohen - Advisor 1990 Midships staff - front row: CDR.

YEAft � By midnight, thousands of East Germans had entered the western part of the city which had been inac- cessible only hours before. The Berlin Wall, which has divided East and West Germany since 1961, has finally begun to crumble. TIENANMEN SQUARE — BEIJING, CHINA Gone from Tiananmen Square are the pro-democracy banners and the tents of China’s freedom movement, the armed guards and the chants of BETiEW drilling soldiers. The Goddess of De- mocracy, a 33-foot-high replica of the Statue of Liberty which had become a symbol of the movement for demo- cratic reform, has been crushed by tanks and taken away. The pro-democracy protests began on April 15 with a call by students for talks on increasing social freedoms and ending official corruption. They peaked during the week of May 15, when Gorbachev visited the country, and nearly one million people poured into the streets. Martial law was declared on May 20, and troops attempted to move into the square but were driven back by masses of citizens sympathetic to the protesters. On June 3, troops opened fire on the protesters, smashing through bar- ricades with tanks to reach Tianan- men Square. dent and raised the possibility of even more aid to Poland by Western na- tions than the $115 million previously announced by Bush. Solidarity argues that the help is needed to ensure that public unrest does not upset the delicate progress toward democracy. But it agrees any aid should have tight controls on it, so it is not wasted as it was in the past. Before taking leave of the workers, Bush and Walesa together faced the monument and raised their arms and gave the “V” for victory, a sign used by Solidarity. HURRICANE HUGO Leaving a trail of death and de- struction across the Caribbean, Hurri- cane Hugo smashed into the coastal city of Charleston, South Carolina on September 22, 1989. Hugo’s 135-mile-an-hour winds snapped power lines, toppled trees and flooded the low-lying areas of South Carolina, causing more than half a million people to flee and leav- ing thousands homeless. Congress readily approved $1.1 bil- lion in emergency aid for the victims of Hurricane Hugo — Capitol Hill’s largest disaster relief package ever. PRESIDENT BUSH VISITS POLAND More than 50,000 people gave President Bush a hero's welcome at the worker’s monument where Soli- darity was born in a wave of labor upheaval. Bush told the cheering crowd that their struggle had pro- duced “a time when dreams can live again” in the democratic transforma- tion of Poland.

Iowa, killing 47 sailors and in- juring many others. The explosion occurred on April 19, 1989, in one of the battleship’s three 16-inch gun turrets as the ship was taking part in a gunnery exercise about 330 miles northeast of Puerto Rico. After a lengthy study, the Navy said that gunner’s mate Clayton Hatwig “most likely” caused the explosion in the battleship’s No. 2 gun turret by inserting a detonator between two powder bags. But the investigation also alleged numerous lax procedures aboard the ship, including unauthorized experi- mentation with extra-strength gun- powder and projectile loads. Voyager capped its historic 4.43- billion-mile, 12-year tour of four plan- ets when it skimmed 3,048 miles over Neptune’s north pole in August, then dove past Triton, the planet’s largest moon. It made its closest approach about 23,900 miles above the moon’s surface at 2:10 a.m. on 8 25 89. Voyager was nearly 4.5 billion miles along a curving path that took it from Earth in 1977, past Jupiter in 1979, Saturn in 1981 and Uranus in 1986, and now past Neptune in search of the edge of the solar system. Voyager 1 explored Jupiter in 1979 and Saturn in 1980. “If you want to understand Earth, go look at other worlds,” said astron- omer Carl Sagan. VOYAGER 2 NEPTUNE UNITED CRASH IN SIOUX CITY United Airlines pilot, Captain Al Haynes, declared “there is no hero in the fiery DC-10 crash in which survi- vors outnumbered fatalities. Of the 296 people aboard, there were 185 survivors. Aviation experts have cred- ited Haynes with keeping the craft aloft until he reached the airport, where hundreds of emergency work- ers were waiting. The flight crew never doubted the stricken jetliner would make it to Sioux Gateway Airport, where the plane crash-landed short of a runway, flipped and broke apart. “We must not forget that 111 peo- ple perished in this accident. This crew ... is dedicated to finding the cause of this accident so we can nev- er have it happen again,” said Haynes. ALASKA OIL SPILL The Exxon Valdez, a 987-foot tank- er owned by Exxon Shipping Co., struck Bligh Reef about 25 miles from Valdez, Alaska, ripping holes in its hull, gushing millions of gallons of thick crude oil into pristine Prince Wil- liam Sound. The result was the largest oil spill in U.S. history. Thousands of workers have helped scrub the oil-fouled shorelines, but as one environmental disaster consultant said, “A spill of this size in such a complex environment promises to be a cleanup nightmare.” Exxon has pulled out its cleanup crews for the winter, and the state announced its own plan to protect fish hatcheries and those still untaint- ed areas Exxon has said it will re-evaluate the shorelines next spring and decide then whether to resume the cleanup on a large scale.

Bennett says he wants to extend the concept of drug-free schools nationally and make punishment a fact of life for drug dealers. He is shown here during a recent speech. KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR It seemed that the 7-foot-2 center would be on the court forever. But at 42, the oldest player in NBA history retired. We watched him change his name from Lou Alcindor and his religion to Muslim. His Afro-style hair gave way to a clean-shaven head. He began wearing goggles as he aged. Through most of the changes, his gracefulness endured. The skyhook was unstoppable. On June 13, 1989, Kareem gave us his last performance. At the end of the night fans cheered him, his team- mates hugged him and his opponent, Isiah Thomas, shook the hand that launched thousands of skyhooks. When asked about retirement he said, “It really hasn’t set in, as far as deeper meanings. I’m just thankful I’ve been able to last this long and walk out the door.” SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE A catastrophic earthquake rocked Northern California on October 17, killing at least 62 people and injuring hundreds, caving in bridges and free- ways, igniting fires and causing wide- spread damage to buildings. The quake which struck during the evening rush hour, just as Game 3 of the World Series was about to begin, registered 6.9 on the Richter scale and was on the notorious San An- dreas Fault. It was the second deadli- est in the nation’s history, exceeded only by the 1906 San Francisco earth- quake that destroyed much of the city and killed more than 700 people. ROLLING STONES (Photo by Dimo Safari) The Rolling Stones launched their 1989 tour August 13 when they pulled into a tiny New Haven, Connecticut, nightclub for a tuneup that thrilled 700 fans who paid $3. apiece for the impromptu gig. The Stones, who had been rehears- ing for the previous six weeks in the tiny northwest Connecticut town of Washington, brought the house down with an 11-song, hour-long set. Members of the band are (l r) Ron Wood, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Bill Wyman. The drummer behind is Charlie Watt. This tour is the Stones’ first in eight years.

A pledge was made to address the environmental problems that threaten the planet, and they endorsed a sig- nificant strategic switch in the way rich countries cope with the Third World’s staggering $1.3 trillion debt. For the first time, the seven leaders turned down, the game’s most prolific hitter will still be eligible for election to the Hall of Fame in 1992. ‘‘I’ve been in baseball three de- cades and to think I’m going to be out of baseball for a very short period of time hurts,” Rose said at a press con- ference in Cincinnati, where he was born and where he broke Ty Cobb’s all-time hit record of 4,191 in 1985. On August 19, 1990 Pete Rose was handed down a sentence of five month’s imprisonment for tax eva- sion. Cincinnati Reds Manager Pete Rose, one of the greatest players in the history of baseball, had been banned for life from the game for bet- ting on his own team.

Dan Quayle, the man chosen by George Bush as his running mate, took office with the President this year. The best way to describe Bobby McFerrin is to call him a “rhythmic one-man orchestra.” The 39-year-old entertainer creates a sound that is un- like any other. It isn’t rock and it isn’t jazz. It’s just Bobby McFerrin. He is shown here holding the four Grammy Awards he won this year. Arsenio Hall was the star in the film “Coming to America’’ and later showed that he had what it takes to star on his own television show. His syndicated late night talk show got started earlier this year. Skid Row is Skid Row. The group was born two years ago as a song- writing partnership between guitarist Dave “The Snake” Sabo and Rachel Bolan. Vocalist Sebastian Bach joined later as the outrageous front- man; guitarist Scotti Hill and drummer Rob Affuso came out as clear winners from a series of auditions. Neneh Cherry hit the top of the charts in August with Buffalo Stance, which combines rock, jazz, funk and disco. Neneh grew up in Sweden and New York. She is pictured here with her father, a jazz trumpeter. The hot group 10,000 Maniacs has been together for many years, but the five-member group really hit the charts this year. The group, hailed by critics as innovative and diverse, has been together since 1981, when the members met at Jamestown (N.Y.) Community College. a run for their money. at Lenin Stadium benefited the fight against drug and alcohol abuse among youths. The comic book hero Batman was the movie hit of the year, producing over $200 million in revenue. Michael Keaton played Bruce Wayne, also known as Batman, and Jack Nichol- son starred as The Joker. Bobby Brown has arrived. He split from the New Edition in 1987 and de- veloped a distinctive style that made his first album an immediate hit. Paula Abdul is very popular. The 25-year-old choreographer, who got her start teaching Duran Duran and other groups how to dance, is now topping the charts herself, as a singer. She is also giving her former students Bon Jovi is popular not only here in the United States but also in Russia. Members of the group, shown in this photo, met with Jan Inenkov of the Russian group Gorky Park before a two-day concert in Moscow.

Rock ‘n’ roll has always meant the unexpected for Tom Petty, even when he was growing up in Gainesville, Fla. “Rock ‘n’ roll came over me like a fever that I never got rid of,’’ he says. And that’s good. His album Full Moon Fever is a smash hit. PARAPLEGIC CLIMBER With the strength of his arm and the power of his will, a paraplegic com- pleted a weeklong ascent of El Capi- tan and said his 3,200-foot climb proves the disabled can accomplish great feats. Mark Wellman, accompanied by his friend Mike Corbett, reached the sum- mit seven days and four hours after they left the Yosemite Valley floor. “My whole thing in life is finding another way to do it, whether that be skiing, kayaking or whatever,” said Wellman, a 29-year-old park ranger. Wellman wore the same boots he was wearing in 1982 when he fell 30 feet during a climb of 13,700 foot Ga- bles Peak south of Yosemite. He was left paralyzed from the waist down. Wellman became the first paraple- gic to conquer El Capitan. MISS AMERICA 1990 Miss Missouri Debbye Turner, a marimba-playing veterinary student from the University of Missouri, was crowned Miss America 1990 this Sep- tember. She grabbed and hugged first run- ner-up Miss Maryland Virginia Cha, of Frederick, and gave a thumbs-up sign to the audience before tearfully walk- ing the runway. Miss Turner is the third Black wom- an to become Miss America in the pageant’s 68-year history. She suc- ceeds Miss America 1989, Gretchen Elizabeth Carlson of Minnesota. Guitarist Daniel Ash formed Love and Rockets in 1985 and has achieved top-40 stardom. The group has developed an appreciative audi- ence for their ever-changing moods despite an experimental and uncom- promising approach. Diana Ross started with the Su- premes nearly 25 years ago and to- day she remains a top-40 vocalist.

The Academy's high standards and the scope of its curriculum, together with the hands-on training it offers, make Kings Point one of the world's foremost maritime education institutions. Throughout our history, members of the Merchant Marine and civilian seafarers have played a vital role in securing and main- taining our freedom. Their service is just as essential to our national defense today. As Kings Point graduates, you can be proud to carry on the Academy's great tradition of seamanship and of loyalty, comradeship, and integrity. I salute you for the commitment you have made to serving America through the maritime industries. As you embark on your chosen careers, I wish you calm seas and a following wind. “THE VICE PRESIDENT “JAMES DANFOPTH QUAYLE THE VICE PRESIDENT WASHI NGTON June 18, 1990 The Class of 1990 United States Merchant Marine Academy Kings Point, New York 11024 Ladies and Gentlemen: Hearty congratulations as you celebrate the culmination of four exhilarating years. Your happiness is well deserved. Sailing is in our national blood. From the days when our colonial forebears fished and traded along the great Atlantic seaboard and engaged in a brisk maritime traffic with the mother country, to today, when vessels piloted by Americans are in every ocean of the world, our history and geography have made it our destiny to be a power on the seas. Kings Point has prepared you not just for ordinary marine service, but also for maintaining our leadership at sea, military as well as commercial. The proud vessels that fly the Stars and Stripes deserve nothing less than the exemplary honor and professionalism you'll give them. In arriving at this day, you've merited a bit of honest pride--and the envy of every earthbound American. For aboard ship it will be your special privilege to feel, as did Columbus himself, the long stretches of pure delight such as only a seaman may know, and moments of high proud exultation that only a discoverer can experience. Congratulations and good luck. i 1 THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION SAMUEL K. SKINNED THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590 June 18, 1990 MESSAGE TO THE MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY 1990 GRADUATING CLASS Congratulations to the 1990 graduating class of the United States Merchant Marine Academy. The education you take with you from Kings Point prepares you well for the many challenges that lie ahead You, the class of 1990, have the distinct responsibility of carrying a tradition of excellence in the Merchant Marine into the next decade As alumni of the Academy, you are already part of this Nation's proud maritime heritage Whether you choose a career as a deck officer, an engineer, in the military or any other numerous options open to you, I know you will serve your nation successfully Enjoy this exciting day of graduation. Be proud of yourselves and your accomplishments You have my smcerest wishes for a happy and rewarding future K Samuel K Skinner - ' 4 4 MARITIME ADMINISTRATOR 9 9 WARREN G. LE5ACK’ US Department Administrator 400 Seventh Street. S w Of Transportation Washington DC 20590 Maritime Administration June 18 1990 To the Class of 1990 United States Merchant Marine Academy As an alumnus of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy I am keenly aware of the high standards and scope of the curricula and hands-on training at Kings Point. I am especially pleased to have the opportunity to congratulate you on four years of dedicated, disciplined work and to share with you some positive developments which, I believe, are precursors to the assignment of higher priorities to remedy our maritime deficiencies. Throughout our Nation's history, the American merchant marine and civilian American seafarers have played vital roles in securing and maintaining our freedom. They remain essential to our national defense today. The Department of Transportation's national transportation policy, released earlier this year, supports this objective, and recognizes the need to reform Federal maritime programs to enhance the American merchant marine's competitive position and sealift capacity. The Department is closely examining maritime issues and programs, and will develop legislation to provide our commercial vessel operators with greater flexibility to compete in international trades. i As the watch is passed to you, the new generation of maritime leaders, I am certain that the traditions of the sea— loyalty, comradeship and integrity—instilled in you during your years at Kings Point will never change as you help meet the challenges and create the opportunities needed to revitalize the American merchant marine. {M 229 THE SUPERINTENDENT fc t RADM PAUL L.

A specialization in the Division of Nautical Science can pro- vide indepth knowledge of the technical aspects of ship operation. Midshipmen can develop a basic foundation in marine electronics, domestic shipping, advanced tanker operations, offshore vessel recov- ery, and small vessel operations by utilizing the electives available in the Nautical Science Division. Completion of the core curriculum in Marine Transportation and concentrations in management in the Division of Maritime Business and Administration can provide students with a foundation in maritime law, statistical methods, environmental law and regulation, personnel man- agement, industrial psychology, and international trade. Midshipmen are encouraged by faculty advisors to select from the inventory of courses in the Department of Engineering and Department of Math and Science that are best suited to their career objectives. Courses in the areas of engineering economics, small engine mainte- nance and repair, operations research, probability, statistics, and chemistry of hazardous cargos are among those offered which are recommended. Ann Cannizaro, secretary “MARINE ENGINEERING 1st Row: Charnews, Butman, Prigozy, Madden, Harbach 2nd Row: Baham, Brazeil, Chubb, Hennings, Hubert Top Row: Russo, Jannone, Rhea Department of Engineering The Marine Engineering program has two objectives: to prepare gradu- ates to sail as Third Assistant Engineers and to give graduates a sound engineering education. It accomplishes these objectives through a mix of practical courses such as welding and machine shop and theoretical courses such as strength of materials and fluid mechanics. During the plebe year, the students who choose the engineering curricu- lum are exposed to the basic essentials of marine engineering. The academ- ic portion of the second and third class years presents the students with their first professional engineering courses. Both sailing periods are also utilized to supplement classroom instruction through the on-the-job experi- ence the midshipman gains. First class year is used to combine the practical and theoretical experience gained through the underclass years in the marine engineering and diesel courses. The Department of Engineering also offers the Marine Engineering Sys- tems program, which includes all of the features of the Marine Engineering program, and adds emphasis on the math and engineering design. By virtue of these additions, it is accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology. Elective concentrations are offered in analysis and design, computer engineering, electrical engineering, engineering economics, fluid thermal power systems, naval architecture, or nuclear engineering. “HUMANITIES” The Department of Humanities is charged with the broader aspect of a midshipman’s training. This depart- ment likes to regard itself as the “baccalaureate” depart- ment of the Academy. It offers the kinds of liberal arts courses which prepare the midshipman to be a “whole man.” It teaches no professional courses required to award an academic degree. Fourth class year consists of three quarters of old fash- ioned English, literature, art, and composition, with con- siderable emphasis on the latter in the remainder of the program to insure the development of basic skills in writ- ten English. This emphasis is vital to the overall develop- ment of a graduate who is able to write technical reports or written logs. During second and third class years, the department’s program consists of three quarters of modern, European, and American history. This provides a fundamental appre- ciation of humanism and human condition via classical and western literary traditions, area studies of western and developing people, political science, a survey of current world problems, and the application of historical solutions. The program of the Department of Humanities is de- signed to balance the technical and professional emphasis in the rest of the curriculum. As graduates move on to position of increasing responsibility in their professional careers, they discover that it is the world of people and ideas rather than techniques and things upon which con- tinuing success depends. Humanities courses, both re- quired and electives, seek to open windows on the world and to provide a basis for continuing personal growth and professional success. Department: Donovan, Arnold, Szaluta, Delson, Eastwood, Magnus, Gardella, Oleszczuk, Bardot, McCor- mick, Sullivan, Wasserman. Special thanks goes to Professor Sullivan for sub- stituting for Prof. Gardella during the fourth quarter. It was very amazing for a man not familiar with the Kings Point Spirit to teach a class of licensed and rowdy seniors the course of Chinese Culture. The amazing thing about it was that the students left the final exam with a keen knowledge of the Chinese Culture and the strong desire to learn how to use the abacus. “MATH AND SCIENCE” NAVAL SCIENCE Within a few years, the U.S. Maritime Industry has exper- ienced tramendous change. So too has the U.S. Navy. Yet throughout these tumultous times, one thing has not changed; the mutually supportive relationship between the two. At no time before in the history of of our country, has the importance of this relationship been more pronounced. The need for Merchant Marine officers who are well trainned in naval procedures and operations is paramount to our coun- try’s national defense and well being. Fulfilling this need is the role of the Academy’s Depart- ment of Naval Science. Through its comprehensive offering of naval science courses, the department instructs Midship- men in a variety of areas: sea power, naval organization, naval weapon systems, naval communications, naval control of shipping, the role of the Military Sealift Command, con- voy concepts, naval operations and tactics are a few. I he material presented in these courses, coupled with the Mid- shipmen’s other subjects, sufficiently prepares them to fulfill their duties and responsibilities as officers in the U.S. Naval Reserve upon graduation. The Naval Science staff also avails its time and expertise to those Midshipmen that seek careers as commissioned offi- cers on active duty in any of the Armed Forces. In recent years, the Academy has placed dozens of graduates onto active duty in fields as diverse as nuclear power, avaition, submarine duty, and surface warfare. These individuals have consistently proven themselves to be outstanding officers; a direct reflection upon the Academy and the Department of Naval Science as well.

Love, MOM AND DAD 480 $ I Dear Pat, You have brought us great joy in the first twenty-two years of your life. We love you and are very proud of you. Since you were a tiny babe bouncing in your Johnny-Jump-Up” in the doorway and tackling your brother and sisters as they passed by, we knew you were going to be a tiger”. You excelled in school and did especially well in athletics. Pootball and baseball seemed to be your favorites, but football was your first love. You put your heart and soul into everything you did. You credited your trophies and MVP awards to others and were always very humble about your success. Just when things were looking rosie for your senior year, injuries came along requiring three knee surgeries, and yet you fought hard, exercised and came back to finish the season with your team. At the academy, you studied hard, got involved in a lot of activities and played football hard. You overcame the knee problems and the sprained ankles and were just shifting into high gear when another tragedy struck. During the football game with Hofstra, your leg was broken requiring surgery, and your sea duty was delayed. Most people would give up about this point, but not you. You worked very hard at recovering and continued to do your very best to get into condition for your senior football season. When your leg didn't heal enough to enable you to play, you were a shining example of never getting down”. You moved ahead and got involved in other activities. You have made your whole family proud. Keep up your courage, persistence, and most of all. Trust in God and you will succeed in all you do.

Skrocki THE ACADEMY LOSES A GREAT ARCHITECT OF ITS PROGRAM: VICE ADM. GORDON MCLINTOCK, 1903-1990 By Martin P. Skrocki Gordon McLintock, who was at the helm of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy longer than any other su- perintendent and who guided the institution through some of its stormiest periods, succumbed to cancer on April 23. 1990. McLintock was appointed the Academy’s fourth su- perintendent on April 1, 1948, and retired with the rank of vice admiral, U.S. Maritime Service, on June 15, 1970. He had been living in retirement in Chevy Chase, MD since then. McLintock, who was 87, was buried on April 30 at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors, after a service at Fort Myer Chapel. Richard O’Leary, who had served as one of McLintock’s aides at the Academy, gave the eulogy. McLintock’s term of 22 years as the Academy’s chief is the longest of any federal academy superintendent. Because of his longevity in an administrative post, it is easy to forget that he was first and foremost an out- standing mariner. He was born on February 10, 1903 in Dysart, Scot- land, to a family with a long seafaring tradition. One ancestor was an 18th century Scottish shipbuilder; his father. William, was a renowned chief engineer. After attending Sevenoaks School in the county of Kent, he enrolled as a British Merchant Navy cadet at the age of 15. When his father moved the family to the United States in 1920, they settled in New York City. McLintock served as quartermaster aboard the LEW- IS LUCKENBACH, then the largest cargo ship in the world. In 1927, at age 24, he became master of a Standard Oil Co. tanker. He was commissioned in the U.S. Naval Reserve in 1928. Throughout his entire career, McLintock maintained a valid master mariner’s license, for ships of any tonnage, any ocean. He also held first-class pilot licenses for vessels of unlimited tonnage for eight of the principal seaports on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. In 1931, McLintock joined the Bureau of Marine In- spection and Navigation, first as a surveyor in the Port of New York, and then in Washington, D.C., as the person in charge of revising deck and engineering offi- cer license examinations. He later headed all investigations of collisions involving American merchant vessels, and handled disciplinary cases. In 1943, McLintock joined the Bureau of Training of the U.S. Maritime Commission as chief inspection officer, which provided him with regular contact with the (then new) U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. He held this post until relieving RADM Richard R. McNulty as the Academy's superintendent in 1948. McLintock assumed command at Kings Point at a time when many in Congress and the federal government saw the Academy as a wartime institution that was no longer needed. McLintock opposed what he considered a short sighted view and fought throughout the 1940’s and ’50’s to establish the Academy on solid footing. He worked hard to gain degree-granting status and accreditation for the Academy in 1949. Seven years later, Public Law 415 gave the Academy permanency as a federal institution and equity with the other service academies. Under McLintock’s guidance, the Academy entered the atomic age in 1954 with its first nuclear physics courses. In the early 1960s, the USMMA was close- ly tied to the nuclear ship SAVANNAH and created a Nuclear Study Center on campus. In 1965, the nation’s maritime training establishment focused its attention on Kings Point as qualified midshipmen enrolled in the first-ever Dual License program. When McLintock began his superintendency, the great majority of the Academy’s physical plant was already in place, a tribute to the wartime planners and construction crews. But two buildings which McLintock considered vital to a federal academy were missing-a chapel and a library. (Both facilities existed only as parts of other buildings.) Addressing the need for a chapel first, McLintock, assisted by his energetic wife, Wynne, initiated a fundraising campaign. Ground was broken for a chapel in 1958. In May 1961, the Mariners Chapel, a national shrine to merchant seafarers who gave their lives in service to their country, was dedicated. Three quar- ters of a million dollars had been raised through public subscription to construct and equip the beautiful chapel. Next on McLintock’s agenda was a library. In December 1968, the project came to fruition-a modern, three-level facility was opened. During McLintock’s tenure as superintendent, some 4,800 midshipmen graduated from the Academy.

At the start of a voyage, a ship’s log is just an ordinary looking book, devoid of life and character. But by the time the vessel completes her journey and arrives safely back at her home port, the logbook has assumed a much different status. It is no longer a mere journal for it is now a complete and accurate record of the ship, her voyage, and her crew. Every event occurring to the vessel during her voyage, be it an event of great magni- tude or just a routine occurrence, was faithfully recorded in the logbook. The logbook is now capable of telling a sto- ry, a story of a ship, her voyage, and the men who sailed with her. Midships is also a logbook but instead of telling of a ship and her crew, it re- creates the history of a class and its members. It attempts to remind the graduate of his cadet years, from the first day he walked through Vickery Gate right up until graduation. Nothing is left untold; the plebe year with its many dis- tasteful aspects, the fascinating adven- tures of the sea year, the unhappy return to the “beach” in the second class year, and the dignity and responsibility of the first class year are all included.

When I accepted the responsibility of being Editor-in- Chief of the 1990 Midships, I had no idea the impact it would have on me. On about 323,212 occasions I felt like dropping the whole thing and letting some other fool pick it up. However, I was convinced the same number of times that no one else would dare attempt it and that I had to finish what I started. Well, this is the final page and on it, I would like to thank all of those who supported me through it. Thank you to all who contributed photographs for without them, the book would not have been possible. A special thanks to all the section editors for assuming part of this burden. An extra special thanks to Eric Liu, Matt Schmitt, Mark Ruppert, Hector Bernaldo, Jaqui Gerber, Rich Bohn, Dan Spano, and Jennifer Beck for working with me up to one month after graduation on finishing touches in the dungeon of Jones Hall. I would also like to thank CDR. Cohen for keeping the pressure on me to finish this task and for being so understanding when the results were minimal (I feel like I’m giving a speech after winning an Oscar). Most of all, I would like to thank Carl Miller (Jostens’ representative) to whom I would like to dedicate the efforts of this book. Carl has been responsible for the quality of the year- books that have been published for the Academy for the past ten years. A dedicated staff combined with his advice and input have resulted in two National Award winners (1986, 1987). I can honestly say that this has been quite an experience and because of it, my path crossed with his. Carl, I know I put you through a lot this past year but I sincerely want to thank you for giving me your trust, support, but most of all, for giving me your friendship. I have definitely learned that life is for the living. This is not a practice life.

Two years later he took over the position of it Director in the Office of External Affairs. The true mark of Ken’s came his level of dedication to the Midshipmen and his concern welfare. His efforts to provide employment opportunities and to sm to apply for employment were tireless and his pers J ounseling abilities only enhanced those efforts, rved as Officer advisor to several midshipmen acth the student yearbook MIDSHIPS. Under his able gui the yearbook was an annual product of the finest quality which twi earned “top yearbook in the country” honors and recognit collateral duties as the Superintendent’s Aid ional function which required abilities and ski ruly blessed. Rounding out his ser role in the Long Island Chapter Alumni Association. Ken’s commitment to the Academy was extraordinary and there are who could match his level of service and dedication. His love for the th which he was stay’ institution and her midshipmen was always evident and the entire Academy community has lost a good friend and mourns his passing. We are all better however, for having had him among us. lira pi s. con,« A JUNE. 1924 - A OCIOBIlR 1990 sdiHsaiw-1 as' The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy was dedicat- ed in 1943 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as the federal academy to serve America’s Merchant Ma- rine, just as Annapolis serves the Navy and West Point serves the Army. The mission of the Academy is to train young men and women enrolled from all the states of the Union as Merchant Marine Officers and as future leaders of the maritime industry. A graduate of the Academy receives a Merchant Marine Officer’s License, a Bachelor of Science degree, and a U.S. Naval Reserve commission. Each graduate is re- quired by law to serve for a specified period of time in the marine field and concurrently as a naval reservist. The Academy’s 82-acre waterfront is located in Kings Point, Long Island, New York, 20 miles east of New York City. Candidates for admission require a Congressional nomination and must demonstrate su- perior academic achievement in high school. In 1974, the Academy admitted female students for the first time, the first federal academy to do so. The Acade- my’s student body numbers 904 midshipmen, about eight percent of whom are women. Each student spends a year at sea aboard various U.S.-flag mer- chant ships as an integral part of their accredited, four-year training program. During World War II, 142 Academy undergraduates were lost at sea to enemy action while involved in sea training. The Academy is thus privileged to carry a Battle Standard in its color guard, the only federal academy to do so. During the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, graduating classes were accelerated to help ease the shortage of shipboard personnel. Academy graduates, who number some 17,700, include the current U.S. Maritime Administrator (des- ignate), the heads of many major U.S. shipping com- panies, many prominent marine engineers and naval architects, the president of the AFL-CIO, past White House aides and an astronaut in the Gemini program. In addition, the Academy has produced 15 flag-rank military officers, with hundreds of graduates proudly serving on active duty in all branches of the Armed Forces. : ■
