Hirschowitz, USMS (Ret.) Professor Emeritus The 1997 Midships is dedicated to CAPT Moses W. Hirschowitz in appreciation of his outstanding service to the Academy during his 46 year teaching career. Professor Hirschowitz came to the Academy in 1949 as the first Chief Engineer member of the faculty to have a baccalaureate degree in engineering. He brought to the academy his experience in the Bethlehem Steel Shipbuilding Division’s Quincy, Mass, shipyard where he served in the test engineering group. He also brought with him rich experience in the operation of reciprocating and turbine machinery of operating ships at sea. During his early years as a faculty member, he pursued graduate study, earning his master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from New York State in 1957 and promoted to the rank of Full Professor in 1966. He undertook the study of the Nuclear Power Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology and entered the Nuclear Training program for the N S Savannah crew in 1957, becoming the first faculty member to attain a Nuclear Reactor Operator’s license while sailing onboard the N S Savannah in 1964. During his career, he has played an important and continuing role in the development of the Department of Engineering, its programs and facilities. Over the many years of his service, Professor Hirschkowitz has developed and taught a wide variety of courses ranging from introductory plebe level courses through the engineering sciences to the professional level courses given to firstclassmen. He has developed special courses in nuclear power and gas turbines, and has designed and brought into use special facilities to support the courses such as the nuclear laboratory facilities supporting the N S Savannah training program. He was for many years a primary builder of the Marine Engineering Laboratory facilities in Fulton Hall. He is also widely recognized as the “Father” of the Dual License Officer program at the Academy. During the 1970s, when the transition from steam to diesel propulsion of U.S. Flag vessels was getting underway, he took a sabatical to allow him to sail on U.S. and foreign flag motor vessels as a MARAD observer to provide him with a better understanding of the ever changing maritime industry and commercial vessel operations in order to better develop and coordinate Academy programs. Professor Hirschowitz’s impact has gone beyond the Academy. His students have gone on to develop important civilian and military careers, in the U.S. Merchant Marine at sea and ashore, in the U.S. Navy, nuclear and conventional, and shore based utility industry, in the maritime related manufacturing industry, in the navi architechture marine engineering research and design community and the shipbuilding repair segments of the nation’s industry. He has been and continues to be at the forefront of technological development in his field, serving in professional organizations and their technical committees, as a consultant to industry, and as a stimulus to sound thinking and judgment in all professional matters. Professor Hirschowitz’s remarkable career represents the finest tradition of excellence and dedication. His career has touched the lives of thousands of Kings Pointers. With this edition of Midships we pay tribute to his contributions to Kings Point. From all of us, thank you Mo. 3 Above: The Class of 2000 on Acceptance Day taking their Merchant Marine Reserve Oaths.

With tijbproghess civilization, his vessels and equipment have improved, reducing some- what the dangers of his occupation, but not eliminating them. The lot and ■ life (jfflfhe seaman has improved steadily in recent years. Todays his profes- sion requires both skill and knowledge. Yet, in many ways, the actual man, the seaman, has not changed. He is a man away from his ho me, his family, his friends. His world is a tossing hull; his society, his shipmates. He faces the fury of the elements as does no other man. In this modem World, equipped as it is with instant communication, nuclear power, a world on the threshold of space, the sea is still virtually unknown. Its past, its future, its inhabitants, its very nature, remain shrouded in mystery. On this vast void, covering two-thirds of the earth’s surface, this last frontier of science, the seaman makes his home. hull . . . . - ■ ' Nr� - V s ‘M� A Front Row (L to R): CAPT John Jochmans, Assistant Superintendent for Administration; Arnold Rosensweig, Thomas Goodwin, Kenneth Sendlein, Mitchell Glazer.

The day after the stone was brought up, water had filled the heretofore dry shaft to within 35 feet of surface. Further investigation revealed a fan- shaped inlet from the sea, with a chamber leading di- rectly to the “treasure shaft. The system was elabo- rately prepared to flood the chamber when the inscribed stone was removed. So far, men have sunk down exploratory shafts as far as 118 feet, and always have been faced with defeat just when victory seemed within their grasp. No method, including modern earth-moving equipment, has proven capable of bringing to light the secret laid by pirates better than two centuries ago with nothing but imagina- tion and the crudest tools. The of the - Oak Island stands firmly in Mahonc Bay, Nova Scotia, a mute witness to the genius of the men who succedcd in wresting gold away from the British fleet in the early XVIII century and buried it for future enjoyment. Early in 1720, giant bonfires were sighted on the island. Silhouettes of men moved around the fires and appeared to be busily at work. Two fishermen went out to the island later on to investigate, but never returned. The superstitious people of the mainland vowed never to fake part in any expedition to search the accursed island. However, their lust for wealth won out, and a few consented to explore it for possible treasure, but to no avail. One group sank a shaft down 80 feet through many platforms of heavy logs.

We packed our seabags and prepared to join our ships determined to amaze the ship’s officers with the knowledge and work ethic we gained during our plebe year. Our duty was clear. We must bring efficiency and knowledge to the uninformed. The rude awakening came soon to most. The stubborn reformers chipped winches and worked in the bilges while they came to the rapid realization that the learning had just begun. For a year we struggled with the complexities of modem ship operation, always awed by the sights, sounds, and scents of new places and faces.

The story re- mains with us as another tale of the mysterious sea. told by the men who attempted to conquer her, and solve her many mysteries. Among the most famous and widely spread stories about the sea. those myths concerning the sea serpent have always held enchantment. Indeed, these tales are far from belonging to a past when men harbored thoughts of a flat ocean, but are of recent vintage and an ani- mated part of the American seagoing story. Hardly a century ago. the imaginative seamen re- peatedly returned with tales of having sighted a large serpent-like monster that vibrated its way through the waters of Massachussets Bay, Cape Cod, and Long Island Sound. Among these reports the story of the “Mongahela and the monster stands out as a myth that has endured the years. In 1852, after a long and heavy battle, the whaling vessel “Monagahela captured and dissected one of these monsters, retaining her skeleton and skin, to be preserved in a nautical museum.

They gathered up the kill and began the flensing operations. Contrary to custom, they dissected the stomach of every whale, hoping to find the body. Two days later, while still stripping the blubber from th . whales caught that day,.they noticed the vague outline of a man through the. walls of the monstrous stomach of one of the whales. Minutes later they had the unconscious but living codr- rade free and were bathing and massaging him to. restore circulation. The record of the event, published by Henri de Pasvifle four years later, tells of no harmful effects resulting from the experience, excepting nightmares in which Bartley relived his experiences inside the whales body. 124 125 127 'Panadet.,.

Nearly a century before this, however, a single pirate sloop managed to strike fear into the mighty naval forces of both England and Spain, as well as terrorizing and holding in check the commercial ventures of the strongest English colonies. The pirate was the infamous Edward Teach, better known as Black- beard. This bloodthirsty buccaneer has been the subject of many legends. He was a legend in his own time. The magnificent black beard, which grew up and joined his eyebrows, gave him a ferocious appearance which he heightened by wrapping line inside the brim of his hat and lighting the ends so that his eyes glowed with the fire of death. No one can realize the relief of the American colonial shippers when they watched Robert Maynard sail up the James River with the ugly head of this incarnate of the devil swaying from his bowsprit, and many of his crew chained to the base of the mast. 160 161 FOOTBALL i, i' ' V M The Mariners achieved a successful season in 1996, posting a 7-3 overall record and earning a third place finish in the Freedom Football Conference with a 4-2 record. The team received a bid to the 1996 EC AC Division III Southwest Championship game and defeated Franklin and Marshall by a 20-0 score. The season opened in Northfield, VT against Norwich University, where the Mariners posted a 27-13 victory over the Cadets. Quarterback Bobby Brown completed 14 passes in 26 attempts for 197 yards and two touchdowns. A good start! Next came the first of six home games, pitting the Mariners against Springfield College, predicted to win the Freedom Football Conference in a pre-season poll. Kings Point defied the odds, defeating the Massachusetts school, 21-14. The game against Catholic University brought the Mariners back to earth. Despite two touchdowns orchestrated by freshman QB Jeff Turpen late in the game, and 12 tackles from linebacker Jacob Hawkinson, the Mariners lost, 34-20. However, the Blue and Gray displayed their mettle in the following game against Plymouth State College, whose Panthers had not lost a regular season game since November 1993! The Mariners hung tough in limiting the Panthers to only 198 yards of total offense, and emerged with an impressive 19-3 win. Kings Point kept the winning streak going the following week with a 31 -14 triumph over WPI. Corey Marker led the ground attack with 125 yards and three touchdowns, while linebacker Craig Clasen led the defense with 10 tackles. With the Tomb Field grandstand filled by some 2,700onlookers for Homecoming weekend, the Mariners the Ursinus College Bears, who were the third seeded team in the South, their first season defeat, 37-27. Kicker Mike O’Connell became the Academy ’ s all-time leading kick scorer with seven points in the game.

Junior punter Adam Guice gave the Blue and Gray a distinct field position advantage with five punts for 209 yards. The Mariners’ winning streak came to an end with a frustrating 33-26 loss to Western Connecticut. However, Gavin Shannon broke a 12-year-old Academy record with an 80-yard punt return. The regular season ended on a sour note with a 23-13 loss to the Coast Guard Academy, who captured the Secretary’s Cup for the second consecutive year. The bright spot in the finale was Corey Marker who ran for 64 yards and a touchdown. After the last scheduled game, the Mariners handed were seeded second in the Metro region and earned the EC AC Division HI Southwest Championship Title with a 20-0 upset of Franklin and Marshall, the South’ s number one seed. The Kings Point defense was again outstanding, holding the F M Diplomats to just 23 yards rushing and 156 yards in the air. Jacob Hawkinson was the game MVP with six tackles, two for a loss of 11 yards, one sack for a seven yard loss, a pass break up, and a fumble recovery.

This was their sixth consecutive ten- i win season and earned a berth in the ECAC Metro NY NJ Championship Tournament for the fifth time in six '[ years. The Mariners also won the Skyline Conference title with a 4-0-1 record. | Kings Point began the season on the road for its first five matches, returning home with a 3-1-1-record, including an impressive 2-0 victory over perennial power Cortland State. The next three games resulted in two ties and a close 1-0 win over NJIT. In the second half of the season, the Mariners suffered three defeats, but also posted five victories, including a 4-0 drubbing of rival SUNY Maritime. Having played one of the more competitive schedules in the East, the ‘96 squad earned a bid as the fifth seed to the ECAC Metro NY NJ Tournament. The Mariners advanced to the semi-final round with a 2-1 upset of number four seed Rutgers The victory was truly exciting, with no goals scored until the last 25 minutes of the game. In the semi-final game. Kings Point faced number two seed Kean. The Mariners played almost flawlessly, but Kean was just a bit better that day and came away with a 1 -0 victory. Kawika Lucas led the offense in 1996, averaging 95.4 minutes of play and scoring 10 goals with three assists for 23 points in the season.

Tearn captains Mark Van Houtte and Jeff Derr led the team through a tough schedule that pitted the Mariners against mostly Division I teams. Also providing leadership in the water and out were David McPhee and Doug Ribble. The offense was sparked by Keith Long, the team’s primary two-meter man, and Derr, who led in scoring with 62 points. Ri bble was a constant threat from the outside, scoring several critical two-point shots during the season. The defense, however, proved to be Kings Point’s strong suit in 1996. Mike Chung and Jason Robinson led the team in steals, while Blake Gaylord proved to be a major asset in goal during his first year of play. Water Polo coach Nina Cunningham orchestrates team strategy during a match at Kings Point. The highlight of 1996 was an early season tournament, when the Mariners defeated Iona, 9-8, buried Lehman, 17-2, and upset Fordham, 9-7. Kings Point hosted the Division III Eastern National Championships and finished fifth of six teams, suffering disappointing losses to RIT and Washington Lee. However, Derr and Long were selected for the All- ToumamentTeam. The Mariners’ early season victories against Iona, Lehman and Fordham qualified the team for the Division I Northern Playoffs for the first time in history. The team played well, butagainst stiff competition, walked away with three losses. However, the experience gained by the squad in 1996 may bode a strong return in 1997. 172 173 Doug Ribble gets ready to pass. 174 I Season Results vs. MIT .15-13,L vs. Johns Hopkins .13-6, L vs. Coast Guard ..15-10, L vs. St. Franris 24-9 L vs. Massachusetts ...17-5, L vs. Brown ..21-1,L v«.

Posting an overall 17-8 record for the season, the Mariners did not disappoint. In its first week, the team placed first in the Skyline Conference Toumament. After a loss in the following game, the Mariners went on to win the next five matches. The middle of the year found Kings Point pitted against tough opponents, as the team won just four of nine matches. However, the Mariners finished the year strong with a 5-2 run.

The Kings Point Rifle and Pistol Team had another championship season and added to their already impressive list of titles. In February the Pistol Team traveled to Kings College for the Intersectional Championships against annual powerhouses MIT and Coast Guard. The team, composed of Mike Wyant, Noberto Donoso, Barbara Ehman, Susan Hlad, Kipp Leland and Adam Vokac, finished third and qualified for the national championships. Wyant took first place in the Standard Pistol category with a score of 534. Hlad qualified for the nationals when she fired a 482 in the air pistol division. In March, the Rifle Team attempted to duplicate the success of their pistol compatriots when they journeyed to the Virginia Military Institute for the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships. The team of Jack Goode, Tom Bowen, Gerald Delk, Eric Hansen, Chris Marciano and Chad Moore added three more conference championship trophies to the seven they have won in the past two years. The Mariner shooters recorded two first place and one second place finish in the meet. Kings Point defeated Columbia University, 1210-986 for the Air Rifle crown and downed Kutztown University, 1998-1956, for the NCAA .22 Caliber Rifle title. The Mariners finished second in the ROTC .22 Caliber Rifle event, falling to host VMI, 2160-1988. The Pistol Team next traveled to the Intersectional Championships at the NRA National Collegiate ROTC Pistol Championships at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

The Basketball Team finished with a stellar 19-7 overall record and made only their second appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament in the program’s 52-year history. The Mariners entered the season with their youngest lineup in recent memory, boasting only one junior to combine with six sophomores and four plebes. But what they lacked in years and experience, they made up in talent and spirit, with a solid nucleus lead by junior captain Ryan Bradshaw. The Blue and Gray showed their colors early, defeating Brooklyn College and SUNY Maritime to win the SUNY Invitational Tournament and start the season 2-0. More wins than losses followed. But the true highlight of the season came on Feb. 9 when the Mariners squared off against SUNY Maritime in New York City’s famous venue, Madison Square Garden. Six busloads of midshipmen, family and friends, including New York Knicks head coach Jeff Van Gundy, watched as the trio of Sean Bradley, Ryan Robinson and Johnny Garrett led the Mariners to an impressive 70-41 victor)'. Kings Point captured the Skyline Conference Title by season’s end, and qualified for a bid to the NCAA Division III Championships. Facing a tough first round opponent in William Patterson College, the Mariners lost 51-43 to end their campaign. But it was a season of accomplishment. Kings Point shot 42.1% from the floor and 32.5% from three-point range. They held opponents to 37.6% shooting and 23.6% from behind the arc. The Mariners ranked fourth in the nation in scoring defense and fifth in field goal percentage defense. Sean Bradley led in scoring (19.5 ppg), rebounding (7.2 rpg), shooting (49.0%), three-point shooting (35.2%) and blocks (24).

However, the Mariners went 4- 3 in the Hudson Valley Lacrosse League, winning Hudson Valley Division for the fourth straight year and earning a chance for the league championship. During the regular season, Kings Point posted victories over seven good teams. Their seven losses came at the hands of ranked opponents. In April, the Blue and Gray captured their fourth straight Maritime Lacrosse Tournament Championship by defeating Maine Maritime, 12-4, and Massachusetts Maritime, 22-11. Rookie goaltender Morgan Ames was the tournie’s Most Valuable Player after recording 45 saves in two games. Senior defenseman Jamie Brennan and the attack trio of Clancy Cornwall, Rocky Curtis and Matt Glasser were named to the All-T ournament Team. During the regular season, the Mariners traveled to West Chester, PA to square off against Widener College for the League title. Widener was the title w inner from the previous year and boasted a 5-0 record in 1997 league play. During the contest, Ames had 10 saves in 39 minutes, w hile plebe Tom Martino registered seven saves in 21 minutes of action. But it was not enough as the Mariners came up short, 18-3. Cornwall led the Mariner offense in ‘97, scoring 36 goals with 28 assists for 64 points. Right behind him w as Mike Hamilton, w ith 22 goals and 18 assists for 40 total points. Rocky Curtis placed third in scoring with 22 goals and 15 assists for 37 points. In net, Ames had a 10.25 goals- against average and a save percentage of .611. 1% The Mariners win the Maritime Lacrosse T ournament for the fourth straight time.

HUDSON DIVISION CHAMPS 197 198 199 BASEBALL An overall 6-13 season record could not be deemed successful, but the Mariner Baseball Team did post some impressive individual performances and played some of the region’s top teams very close. Six of the Kings Point losses came by two runs or less, including one-run losses to the top two teams in the conference. The Mariners again traveled to Florida for a series of games, but could not manage a win in the sunny climate, going 0-3. Returning to Kings Point, the diamond men broke even at 5-5 before losing five games to conference powerhouses Mt. St. Mary and Staten Island and regional powerhouse Old Westbury. However, the season ended on a positive note with a victory over St. Joseph’s. Five Mariners were honored as Skyline Conference All Stars. Making the first team were junior outfielder James Kohlmeyer and sophomore outfielder Joe Clark. Kohlmeyer, the Mariners’ cleanup hitter, led the team with a .385 batting average, driving in 13 runs. He also led the team in doubles (4), carried a .462 slugging percentage and a .448 on-base percentage. He also pitched two games, posting a 3.15 ERA and was named the team’s MVP. Clark, the Mariners’ leadoff man, batted .329 and knocked four doubles and two triples. Three Mariners made the Second Team: plebe outfielder Erick Fielding, senior DH Craig Fishbough, and sophomore shortstop Steve Berquist. Offense was the strength of the 1997 Mariners, with the Blue and Gray batting .286 as a team with 42 extra base hits. 200 Ed Seifert (left) shows determination going after a ground ball.

The Mariners opened the season with a training trip to Fort Myers, FL, were they played six games and posted a 1-5 record. Despite the trip’s negative results, it offered the team a chance to work on fundamentals. This was apparent when the team returned north and went 12- 8, for an overall 13-13 season mark. The 13 wins were a season high for a Softball Team at Kings Point. Among the other “high water” marks achieved by the 1997 edition were most at-bats (653), most stolen bases (74), most walks (92), most strikeouts recorded by Kings Point pitchers (98), least runs allowed (131), and lowest ERA (3.12). The Mariner softballers batted a respectable .276 as a team with 180 hits that included 34 doubles, 15 triples and three home runs. Their opponents hit only .233 against them. However, one of the season’s problems was defense. The Mariners only managed a .868 average, while their opponents posted a .910 mark. Sophomore Kirsten Preisch led the Blue and Gray with a .351 batting average—20 hits including two doubles and four triples. Plebe backstop Annie D’Elia led the team in stolen bases with 13, while classmate Eileen D’Elia was the put-out leader at first base with 130. Mostly importantly, the Mariners gained valuable experience to bring to the ‘98 campaign. 202 Holly St. George provides a steady target behind the plate.

Sophomore Zach Chapman had the best overall mark, posting nine wins against two losses in singles, and nine wins and one loss in doubles. Senior Mike Huh was 6-4 in singles, and 7-2 in doubles. Plebe Justin Crawford has a terrific frosh campaign as he tallied an overall 14-2 record.

In 1996, the Rugby Tearn exhibited growth. Against teams from West Point and locally from Long Island, the ruggers performed well for a team young in experience. The Rugby Team hopes to bring this experience to bear next season. I t I 205 206 Ever since he had first taken to the sea as a 14-year- old youth on Danish vessels, he had been impressed by the fact that a captain stayed with his ship until the very last. Now he shed out a niggardly existence on his stricken vessel, surviving on pound cake, bisquits and coffee, purely because he believed implicitly in this, one of the oldest traditions of the sea. Reviewing the case in his hunger-sharpened mind, certain things stood out boldly. The storm was obviously thickening when he left the Elks on December 21. The pig iron cargo, normally a cause for concern, became a giant worry in the face of the pounding the ship had taken. Then in the face of the worst possible weather, the steering gear was carried away. As the Flying Enter- prise broached to before the heavy seas, the cargo shifted and the ship took on a heavy list. Under these conditions, the vulnerable ship began to give. A horizontal crack opened behind the housing forward of number three hatch. As the crew abandoned ship and was picked up by the waiting vessels, it became increasingly obvious that their Captain had chosen a most difficult and lonely course. Still, he had his convictions, and strongest among them was his determination that he should not abandon his ship until her fate was perfectly clear. So, convinced that what he was doing was not particu- larly brave nor noteworthy, he sat. While he occupied his time with fragmentary thoughts of his wife and two daughters in their New Jersey home, the world watched through the eyes of newsmen who had hurried to the site of his lonely, courageous confinement. Every time he inched his way out along the bulkheads to the open deck, the world cheered for a man whose convictions about the ethics of his profession were so strong that he was willing to stake his life on them. No one can appreciate the multitude of minor annoyances which made the act heroic. The cold, wet berth in which he snatched such slumber as the sea allowed, the soggy food upon which he sur- vived, the many bruises he suffered each time he tried to make his way on deck, the thrill of terror when he was nearly torn from his stricken vessel as he attempted to rescue the tow single-handed. When he was joined by another seaman Kenneth B. Darsey, 24-year-old mate of the famous tug Turmoil, the world rejoiced—he was winning. Then the rescued inched towards England. His battle was being won. Still the North Atlantic was not willing to give up the brave man and his ship so easily. In a night of gale force winds, the tow line parted. Fifty miles from port, the operation was held up as the tug made ready for a second try. Then the vessel which had taken the storm’s worst for a week began to settle over further on its side. The two heroes fled to the side of the funnel and jumped off into the sea. Kurt Carlsen had been finally assured of the fate of his vessel, and he left her. He had lived far too bravely to die foolishly. His brave action was nonetheless cour- ageous due to this apparent failure. He joined the sparse ranks of the sea’s heroes who survived their heroic battle against the sea. He had not won in this battle, but, unlike most men, he did not lose!

We were blessed to have Chaplain Newhouse and his wife Mary join us. There were also many new faces from the class of2000. We had a blast at our retreats, concerts. Kingdom Bound, ice- skating, pizza parties, 30-hour famine, Christmas party, Mardi Gras party, dinner at the Chaplain’s, and all that jazz. We’ll never forget Brian getting lost at the fall retreat, and we didn’ t even know Steve was lost! Amy, don’t listen to Alecc... you have a “heart and a brain.” (Or is it just a heart???) I praise God for each and every one of you for all that you have done for CFC. I could thank all the people that helped out a great deal, but it would take up the whole page. The important thing is that we were and always will be family, supporting one another and praising our God together. I know we have all grown in our faith and personal walk with the Lord. To all the seniors... Carrie, Jon G., Steve H., Emma, Mike, Jon K., Jason, Susan, Jeremy, Harold, Cara, Ian, Billy Lukes, Corey, and Billy J., may God continue to guide you in the path he has laid for your future as you depart KP. And to ‘98, ‘99, and 2000, you are running the show now. Continue to press on for the Lord. Take advantage of each passing day he blesses you with by taking the opportunity to love and serve others. Let Jesus’ light shine through your lives. P.S. Now you can sing “As the Deer” all you want. Remember ...the greatest achievements are those that benefit others. “To be the greatest, be a servant.” Matthew 23:11 Keep in touch!!! .

The 1997 Midships staff learned that it is a chronicle of events, a photo journal, a book of memories - and a lot of work!!! Under the editorship of Cliff Creech, the Midships volunteers collected and cropped photos, laid out pages, wrote captions and text, and eventually, after many long nights and frantic rushing to meet deadlines, produced the yearbook you hold in your hands. One enjoyable respite from the task was afalltrip to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to visit the plant where the book is printed. Everyone associated with the yearbook sincerely hopes that you enjoy this edition of Midships. 230 Editor-in-Chief Cliff Creech also served as one of the yearbook’s - , busiestphotographers. Andres Carrizo contributed many photographs to 1997 Midships. DanaOesterling undertook probably the most exacting and complex job on the staff as editor of the Senior Section. 231 A AUTOMOTIVE INTEREST CLUB Nothing has made more young people interested in the physics of the internal combustion engine than the small block Chevrolet. The auto club visited local car shows to see the many varieties of hot rods and a dsiplay of workmanship. The club also frequented Island Dragstrip on Eastern Long Island to see everything from the weekend warrior to the massive horsepower dragsters. While at the Academy a perfectly running 1981 Camaro was transformed into a Drag Racing hot rod. We would like to thank Professor Joe Kass, Captain Robert Larsen, and the rest of the faculty for all the support and help throughout the year. Members PresidentWilliamT.

The bewildered Mate argued and refused. After putting him in irons, the Captain him- self gave the order; the vessel returned to England. Immediately upon return, the Captain was tried for his actions, and, with the testimony of the First Mate, Edwards, was found guilty. He lost his Master's papers and was declared unfit for the command of a ship. The ship was rapidly outfitted again, and de- parted. After the vessel had been out for some months, a dispatch was received from Cosquimbo, Chile; the USK had burned at sea with almost total loss of life. Explanations were offered, but no one ever convinced the seamen of Cardiff that the cause was any other than the disregard of the warning of the beautiful phantom and the punishment metered out to the man who had heeded her dictum. The sea has always had its omens and portents of HI which have frightened mariners and caused them to take precautions that seem at best, odd, to people who do not understand them. Perhaps the most ex- plicit warning of ill-fate on record came to the Cap- tain of the USK in early 1 864. Captain Richard Brown was doing his usual tour of the deck aboard his vessel, which was bound for a small port in Peru. The wind was picking up, and it seemed that he was about to make up some of the time he had lott with ill winds and storms in the tropics. He was three-and-a-half months out of Eng- land and was still four hundred miles from Cape Horn. As he pondered his sorry schedule, a beautiful woman clad in pure white veils appeared in the rigging and beckoned to him. “Go back to tho port from which you come; watte no time, but turn back toward Cardiff before you lose your ship and yourself as well.” As the vision faded from the quarter-deck, a thick fog enveloped the ship. « mwm mm BhHNM atis sc fcrsv '-.

Many hazards must be faced and dozens of trying situations must be coped with. One of the more famous and dramatic risks of the sea is now practically a thing of the past. Being marooned, long one of the most feared and least predictable of hazards is being pushed out of sight in our shrinking world by our rapid and easy means of communication and travel. Shipwrecks and desert islands are. nevertheless, an integral part of the seaman’s past. They formed the most feared part of life on the sea because they repre- sented the unknown. Men died on desert islands with no more witness to their passing than bottles containing their desperate pleas for help found bobbing on the sea years later. If the island happened to be uninhabi- table or barren of animal and vegetable life, death was horrible and protracted. Searchers seldom came in time to these men, and if they did arrive opportunely, the men were generally incapable of recognizing their saviors. Some men. of course, survived the ordeals of being marooned, but each was fortunate as to the characteris- tics of their prison, and all were endowed with physical stamina and mental ability above the ordinary. Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe’s hero, typifies most cf them. His struggle for physical and mental health is a common presentation of their needs and experiences. The endless watch of the sea for a rescuing vessel, the solitary struggle against the elements, the search for companionship and the yearning for the comforts of civilization, are all part of the vital fight for survival. It is no wonder that they are characterized as some of the greatest heroes of the sea. Some men may deplore the loss of some of the ro- mance connected with the sea engendered by the pass- ing of the desert island and the forbidden mysteries of an uninhabited land, but only the seaman can fully ap- preciate the passage of an ordeal connected with starva- tion. madness, and loneliness of a coral reef not fit for human habitation.

If you have a history of moisture problems, you should know Cargocaire history. In 1939, we were founded by Commander Oliver Colvin, USN. Our mission: eliminate costly deterioration of cargo which was caused by moisture condensing in holds. After World War II, Cargocaire began using dehumidified air to preserve surplus naval ships and equip- ment. This successful program was thoroughly tested, when many of these mothballed ships were reactivated and used to bring supplies to Korea. In the 1950’s andl960’s, ships were again protected long-term by Cargocaire dehumidifiers, and again the results were outstanding. One example is the Battleship Iowa, which was recommissioned in record time—and below budget—because there was simply no measurable corrosion of its weapon systems. Records show that after 15 years of dry air protection, even the ship’s brass bell did not need polishing. Today, every active US nuclear submarine has an onboard Cargocaire dehumidifier. Most other US combatant vessels are protected by our equipment. The US Army protects equipment and ammunition stored in prepositioning ships stationed around the world. Blasting and coating operations in shipyards continue without regard to humid outside weather. Marine drill rig operators keep equipment diy inside submerged caissons. And in port, storage areas are kept moisture-free by Cargocaire. If you have any of these or other moisture related problems, call Cargocaire today. Odds are we’ve solved it in the past. If not, we’ll be pleased to assist you with finding a new dry air solution. That’s why we’ve been making marine history for the past half century!

I can honestly say that I started planning for this book four years ago when I drew out the cover design for the first time. I started this job like I have everything else in my life, trying to make this book the biggest and best book ever, and only stopping to think about the work it would take after the plans were already in motion. At times it seemed that it would never be finished, but after many long nights and frantic rushing to meet deadlines, the 1997 Midships is finally complete. This book was the biggest project I have ever tackled, and I couldn’t have done it without help. I was very fortunate in that I was able to find some really great people to help me along the way. If there was an MVP award to give out, my vote would be for Dana Oesterling - she agreed to be the senior section editor and did nearly half of the pages in the book by herself. Jeffrey Adamczyk was the first editor to finish his section, and also deserves special recognition. As the year drew to a close and it seemed that the book would never be finished, my best friends were right there to help where they could - labeling photos, writing captions, cropping photos, and even drawing layouts. Charlie Beers helped so much with the advertisements that he deserves to be recognized as the advertisement section editor, and the same recognition belongs to Jeremy Mushtare, who laid out almost all of the special events section. To Karl Fisher, John Kerr, Lance Suvans and the rest of the staff, thank you one and all for your efforts. I would like to extend a special “thank you” to Marty Skrocki, the yearbook advisor. I have worked on seven yearbooks, and I have never had an advisor who was as supportive or understanding as Marty was. For the first time, Midships was done completely on the computer, and it was painfully slow at times. As the year dragged on and the great mountain of unfinished pages threatened to overwhelm us, Marty stood right there beside me and even stepped in and laid out two sections on his own - the sports and the company advertisement sections. Thank you Marty. You were every bit as much the editor of this book as I was. Another special thanks goes out to Mark Mandrakos, the Herff Jones Publications Consultant. This was the first year of this contract for Mark, and I know that the Kings Point way of “if it’s not due next period, it’s not due” nearly gave him a stroke on more than one occasion. Still, after four years of practiced procrastination, I think I will play one more game of NHL’97 before our meeting - after all, I’ve got another 25 minutes...hee,hee,hee... Clifford W. Creech Editor-In-Chief 1997 Midships 581 The Meaning Behind the Ring sea 1. The chain base border aroun the stone has an obvious nautical association. The linking together is symbolic of class unity. clustered together on the he Ensign stands out in front, the academy flag and the battle standard with its battle ribbons. 2.
