The visit on June 19, 2006 by President George W. Bush to deliver the keynote address at commencement overshadowed much of the events of the 2005-2006 Academic Year. But it was a notable year nonetheless. From midshipmen on the field at the 2006 Super Bowl, to laudable license exam success by the senior class, to the sad task of recognizing a Kings Pointer who perished in the Iraq War, 2005-2006 proved to be both notable and newsworthy.

T aking Command Producing leaders for our Nation is something that the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy does extremely well. From admirals to astronauts, shipmasters to chief engineers, company presidents to CEOs, the products of Kings Point’s unique brand of training and education excel in their professional careers. The Regimental System is responsible in no small measure for this record of excellence.Twice a year, the leadership of the Regiment rotates among midshipmen so that most members of the Regiment will benefit from the leadership experience before they graduate.

The last big hurdle for any U.S. Merchant Marine Academy midshipman is passing the U.S. Coast Guard-administered licenseexam. It’sa difficult and nerve-racking rite of spring for all members of the senior class. But the exhilartion that follows, when midshipmen learn that they've passed the license exam, is something to behold. Bell-ringing, cheers and hugs take over the first class when the results are posted.

In mid-March 2006, the USMMA Superintendent, VADM Joseph Stewart, received a telephone call for The White House. The President had accepted the Academy's invitiation to deliver the commencement address to the Class of 2006. Thus was set in motion the whirlwind of activity necessary to prepare for a Presidential visit. President George W.

A Long Time Coming! “Thank you for the warm welcome — if you know what I mean,” said President George W. Bush, referring not only to the solid applause which greeted him, but also to the hot, humid weather of June 19, 2006. ‘T know that a presidential visit to Kings Point has been a long time in coming,” the President continued. For the next 20 minutes, the Chief Executive explained why the USMMA and the maritime industry were vital to the Nation, and he issued warnings to America’s adversaries. “I wish you fair winds and following seas,” he concluded, speaking directly to the 2006 class.

Bush's Commencement Address to the Class of 2006 at Kings Point, June 19, 2006. For more than six decades, the mission of [the U.S. Merchant Marine] Academy has been to graduate highly skilled mariners to serve America's economic and national security needs. To train you for these responsibilities, this Academy sharpens your mind, it strengthens your body, and builds up your character. The Academy has made you strong and instilled respect for the Kings Point motto - Acta Non Verba - Deeds, Not Words. The advance of freedom is the calling of our time - and the men and women of the United States Merchant Marine Academy are answering that call. In a few moments you'll walk through Vickery Gate and leave the Academy that's been your home. You leave with... the great truth that duty and honor and courage are not just words. They are... the virtues that America has come to expect from the Blue and Grey. Trust your instincts, and use the skills you were taught here to give back to the nation. Do not be afraid to make mistakes; learn from them. Show leadership and character in whatever you do. In all that lies ahead, I wish you fair winds and following seas. As I look out at the men and women before me, I will leave here knowing that you will bring honor to our nation, and to this Academy that has prepared you for the challenges you will face. 17 18 THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590 To the Class of 2006 Congratulations on your graduation!

Your maritime skills, paired with your lessons in teamwork, will help you weather any storm.

Superintendent 21 (Right) RADM Robert Safarik provided 23 years of distinguished service to Kings Point.

Safarik The staff of 2006 Midships is pleased to dedicate this yearbook to Rear Admiral Robert L. Safarik, USMS. A 1961 graduate of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, RADM Safarik retired in January 2006 after 23 years of distinguished service to Kings Point. He was born in Queens, NY and attended grammar school and high school on Long Island. A member of Boy Scout Troop 145, he attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and he took great interest in the Academy's Eagle Scout Program. After graduating from the Academy in 1961, RADM Safarik served two years on active duty in the U.S. Navy, then sailed as a deck officer with United States Lines. He came ashore in 1969 to work for Moore-McCormack Lines as Manager of Container Operations. Three years later he entered federal service with the U.S. Maritime Administration’s Eastern Region Office, involved in Port and Intermodal Development. In 1983 he returned to his alma mater as Commandant of Midshipmen. In 1989 he was tapped to be Director, Office of External Affairs. In November 1998, VADM Joseph Stewart, the Superintendent, selected RADM Safarik to serve as his Chief of Staff, a position he held until his retirement. RADM Safarik says: “My time as a midshipman at Kings Point was a period of personal development and the setting of a career course. It was an extraordinary time in my life! “Age and experience refine one’s personal perspective, and the Class of2006 will ultimately develop a deep and lasting appreciation of the positive role of Kings Point in shaping careers, professionalism, human qualities and character. Equally invaluable are the lifetime friendships that you have formed with your classmates. This is something indeed to be treasured! “As members of the 2006 Class, you are part of the Academy's legacy of service, professionalism and integrity begun over six decades ago. You will al 1 meet this challenge and will continue in the fine tradition of those who have preceded you. You will make all of us even prouder of Kings Point, if that's possible. “Good luck, take care and God speed!” RADM Robert Safarik thanks the many guests at his retirement party in January 2006. 23 25 CDR David Mund keeps a watchful eye on the Regiment of Midshipmen.

I The 2005 Football Mariners may have notched an equivalent 3-7 record from the season prior, but under the tutelage of first-year head coach Mike Toop ’77, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Football underwent an attitude • change for the better. With the exception of one game, the Mariners stood i competitive in each contest, losing by one or two scores in the waning moments of play. The Mariners exhibited the type of no-quit spirit they would play with for the entirety of the season in the opener at Kean University, where the Blue Gray | fell to the Cougars, 21-13. r The Academy took to the air the ensuing week for a trip to California to tango with Claremont Mudd-Scripps. The Mariners’ rally cry fell short as a late turnover proved to be the difference in a 33-26 defeat. The players bounced back in the home opener against Dickinson College with a 29-26 overtime victory courtesy a field goal by Geoffrey Troy. With a freshman calling the signals behind center, USMMA closed the season with two consecutive victories to end the year on a high note. Many of the lessons learned from the year were exhibited in the final two wins. In a ■ tightly played contest in the Hoffman Cup versus St. Lawrence, the Mariners converted I turnovers into points, capitalizing on the mistakes of the Saints, including the game- winning fumble recovery for a touchdown by Brandon Brooks. In the Secretaries’ Cup game at Coast Guard, USMMA dominated the Bears, 21-5. For their sensational efforts over the course of the year, four Mariners were named to the All-Liberty League team, i including Frank Dore, Charlie Mayrer, Garron Edgington, and Geoffrey Troy. Troy, who led the nation in field goals, went onto be named All-Region and All- American. ►ii M . % gu UA,g the teflwi the gam,e plfli u Right: Geoffrey IliaXia,0 ucp a klc-te.

With the addition of 12 new freshman players, the 2005 Soccer program placed second in the Shyline Conference with a conference record of 8-1 and an overall record of 13-5-3. Earning a top-seed in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Metro Championships, USMMA extended its streak of post-season play to ten straight years of playoff competition. USMMA has participated in post-season games in 20 of the last 30 years, making the Mariners one of the most successful Division III programs in the country. This post-season, USMMA advanced to the Skyline Conference finals for the third straight year. In the finals, the Blue and Gray fell in double overtime to No. 1 seeded Stevens. The Mariners ended their season with an ECAC Semi-final loss to the evenly matched Ramapo Roadrunners. In the semi-final game against the Manhattanville Valiants, head coach, Michael Smolens earned his 200th career win with a last second goal courtesy of a Kyle Flynn free kick with 12 seconds remaining on the clock for the 2-1 Mariner victory. Six Mariners were recognized for their efforts over the course of the season, including senior captain Nik Dandapani, (First Team All-Skyline and Second Team All-Metro Region); junior goalkeeper Joseph Halverson (First Team All-Skyline and Second Team All- Metro Region); junior defender Matt Steinkamp (Second Team All-Skyline); junior forward Flynn (First Team All-Skyline and First Team All-Metro Region); sophomore defender Chris Nitta (First Team All-Skyline); and freshman Flanagan (First Team All- Skyline and Skyline Rookie of the Vear).

USMMA’s hopes of making a trip to the NCAA Championships fell short one match for the second straight season in the Skyline Conference Championship versus Stevens. The third-seeded Mariners fell to the top-seeded Ducks, 3-0. After losing their first three matches to open the campaign, USMMA surged as one of the hottest teams in the nation via winning 10 of its next 11 contests. USMMA concluded the season with a mark of 16-12. The Mariners did not earn a berth to the ECAC Championships, but had a successful season nonetheless. Avenging their early season loss against St. Joseph’s, the Mariners defeated the Golden Eagles 3-2 in the Skyline Conference semifinals. After losing the first game of the match 19-30, the Mariners rallied back for the win in five games going 30-19, 30-28, 22-30 then finally coming back from a large point deficit to win 17-15 in the final game. In the win, senior Janine Wachter broke the Academy’s All-Time Kill Record, previously set by Lael Nichols in 2002, with 1,263 kills.

The 2005-06 United States Merchant Marine Academy Wrestling Mariners may have not enjoyed the overall team success of seasons prior, mostly due to a number of hey injuries sustained over the course of the season. Nonetheless, the Mariners managed some incredible feats with a seventh place finish at the 12th Annual All-Academy Wrestling Championships and senior Danny Song advancing to the NCAA Championships for the third straight year. Even though USMMA finished the year with a 3-10-1 overall record, the Mariners found themselves in nearly every match, despite not having someone to fill the void at the 125-pound weight class. USMMA triumphed over Veshiva in the home- opening tri-match, followed by wins over Centenary (NJ) and Maritime. The Mariners tied with Stevens, 25-25. USMMA was led by two upperclassmen over the course of the campaign. Senior Nate Van De Venter fell short in his final pursuit of a trip to Nationals with a third place finish at the 2006 Centennial Conference Championships, but was a crowd favorite for the heart he displayed in every match. He concluded the season with the most wins on the team (22-13) at 171 pounds. Song, a senior on the mat but second-classman at the Academy, earned his third straight trip to Nationals via winning the Centennial Conference Championship at the 141-pound weight class. Song concluded the season with an 18-5 overall mark, including wins over Lief Gisdorf of Army and Jake Kriegbaum of Air Force. Song placed second at the All- Academy Wrestling Championships and earned All-America status with an eight place finish at the NCAA Championships. Matt R-ussell Jolm victoria 65 The Coaches,: Jim.
