This handy pocket-size guide is updated every year to welcome aboard incoming midshipmen and ease their transition from civilian to Navy life. Now in its ninety-second year of production, the handbook is filled with aids that are used throughout a midshipman's naval career -- and memorized by most during Plebe year. The book includes a brief history of the Naval Academy and its traditions, a copy of its seal and insignia, anthem and hymn, and code of conduct, as well as a curriculum outline, glossary of academy slang, an overview of the Navy's organization, the Rules of the Road, Morse code, and international code flags. It also includes sailing directions, a list of famous naval sayings, and a map of the academy, along with a description of various ship and aircraft types and photographs. Numerous color and black and white illustrations accompany the text.
