The United States Merchant Marine Academy (also known as USMMA or Kings Point) is one of the five United States service academies, located in Kings Point, New York. It is charged with training officers for the United States Merchant Marine, branches of the military, and the transportation industry. Midshipmen (as students at the Academy are called) are trained in marine engineering, navigation, ship's administration, maritime law, personnel management, international law, customs, and many other subjects important to the task of running a large ship.

History

Between 1874 and 1936, diverse federal legislation supported maritime training through school ships, internships at sea, and other methods. A disastrous fire in 1934 aboard the passenger ship SS Morro Castle, in which 134 lives were lost, convinced the U.S. Congress that direct federal involvement in efficient and standardized training was needed.

Originally--and in cooperation with the State of New York (which donated the land)--the U.S. government planned to establish a large-scale Merchant Marine Academy at Fort Schuyler, New York; nothing came of these plans.

Congress passed the landmark Merchant Marine Act in 1936, and two years later, the U.S. Merchant Marine Cadet Corps was established. In that year, the USTS Nantucket (ex-USS Ranger) was transferred from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy to Kings Point and renamed the USTS Emory Rice. The first training was given at temporary facilities until the Academy's permanent site in Kings Point, New York was acquired in early 1942. The Kings Point campus was originally Walter Chrysler's twelve-acre waterfront estate, named "Forker House" (now known as the USMMA's Wiley Hall). Construction of the Academy began immediately, and 15 months later the task was virtually completed. The Academy was dedicated on 30 September 1943, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who noted "the Academy serves the Merchant Marine as West Point serves the Army and Annapolis the Navy."

World War II required the Academy to forgo its normal operation and to devote all of its resources toward meeting the emergency need for Merchant Marine officers. Its enrollment rose to 2,700 men, and the planned course of instruction was reduced in length from four years to 18 months. To meet the wartime needs for qualified merchant marine officers two additional merchant marine cadet training school sites were established, one located in Pass Christian, Mississippi, and the other in San Mateo, California. (The San Mateo location was closed in September 1947, and the students transferred to Kings Point. The location in Pass Christian was similarly closed in 1950.) In spite of the war, shipboard training continued to be an integral part of the Academy curriculum, and midshipmen served at sea in combat zones the world over. One hundred and forty-two midshipmen gave their lives in service to their country, and many others survived torpedo and aerial attacks. From 1942-1945, the Academy graduated 6,895 officers. As the war drew to a close, plans were made to convert the Academy's wartime curriculum to a four-year, college-level program to meet the peacetime requirements of the merchant marine. In 1948, such a course was instituted.

Authorization for awarding the degree of bachelor of science to graduates was granted by Congress in 1949. The Academy became fully accredited as a degree-granting institution in the same year. It was made a permanent institution by an Act of Congress in 1956. The Academy accelerated graduating classes during the Korean War and the Vietnam War. It was involved in such programs as training U.S. officers for the nuclear-powered merchant ship, the NS Savannah.

Admission requirements were amended in 1974, and this Academy became the first federal service academy to enroll female students, two years before the Military, Naval, Air Force, and Coast Guard Academies.

During the Persian Gulf War in early 1991, and for many months prior to the war, both Academy graduates and midshipmen played important roles in the large sealift of military supplies to the Middle East. Midshipmen training at sea also participated in the humanitarian sealift to Somalia during Operation Restore Hope.

In 1992, the Academy acquired its largest campus-based training vessel, the T/V Kings Pointer. After 20 years at the Academy, MARAD transferred the ship to the Texas Maritime Academy in Galveston to serve as its new primary training vessel. This was followed by an announcement on 21 August 2012, that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) agreed to transfer the MV Liberty Star to the U.S. Department of Transportation for use as the new training vessel at the Academy. Before being redesigned to serve as a training vessel for students, the former MV Liberty Star served as a solid rocket booster recovery vessel for NASA retrieving solid rocket boosters following space shuttle launches. In June 2014, the vessel was rechristened the T/V Kings Pointer, the fifth vessel of the Academy to carry that name. The rechristening followed the earlier dedication of the Academy's newly replaced Mallory Pier.

In the 1990s, the Academy's future came into question when it was included in the National Performance Review, chaired by Vice President Albert Gore, Jr. The report recommended halving the federal subsidy and requiring students to pay half of tuition to reduce costs. Congress, however, soundly rejected the recommendation and voted to continue the prohibitions on charging tuition to students.

Between 2009 and 2014, the Obama Administration invested more than $450 million at the Academy, including almost $100 million for capital improvements--the most funding ever secured for physical improvements at the Academy.

During the attacks of 11 September 2001, the Merchant Marine Academy assisted in the evacuation of civilians from Lower Manhattan as well as the transportation of first responders and supplies to and from Ground Zero. Midshipman, faculty, and staff from the academy, within hours of the attack, were using boats from the waterfront and sending them to the city. Members of the Merchant Marine Academy participated in the relief efforts for nine days.

Merchant Marine Academy midshipmen and graduates have been involved in many facets of the war in Iraq. Many graduates were involved in the transportation of supplies during the buildup to the war in 2003. Many graduates in the U.S. Naval Reserve, now known as the Navy Reserve, have been called to active duty to serve supporting naval roles in ports in Iraq and Kuwait. Graduates who have entered other branches of the service have had more direct roles in Iraq. Aaron Seesan, a 2003 graduate and Army First Lieutenant, was the first graduate to give his life for his country during a war since the Vietnam War.

Because of the service of midshipmen in every major conflict the country has been involved in since World War II, the Regiment is privileged to carry a regimental battle standard. The Merchant Marine Academy is the only Federal Service Academy granted the right to do so, and the standard is carried with the colors at all times. Campaign ribbons from all the conflicts in which midshipmen have taken part help to dress the battle standard, and bring honor to the academy and her midshipmen.

On 19 June 2006, President George W. Bush gave the commencement address at the Academy, becoming the first sitting president to visit the academy.

Organization

The Academy is administered by the U.S. Maritime Administration, and has an annual budget of $85 million from the United States Department of Transportation.

The entire student body is referred to as the Regiment of Midshipmen and is subdivided into two battalions and five companies. The 1st and 2nd Companies form the 1st Battalion, the 3rd and 4th Companies make up the 2nd Battalion, while the Academy Band is the 5th Company. Company assignment is random, although candidates with experience of playing a musical instrument are highly considered for joining the Band Company.

Department of Public Safety

The USMMA Department of Public Safety is a full-service law enforcement agency responsible for campus safety and security. It has mutual-aid agreements with the nearby Kings Point police and fire departments, and Nassau County Police Department, as well as investigative support from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Department Head is assisted by two federal police officers and two federal guards, with contract security guards utilized to meet minimum manning requirements. Federal police officers, federal guards, and contract guards wear distinct uniforms and perform access control, foot and motor patrols, respond to transmitted fire and security alarms, address safety and security matters, direct traffic, and enforce parking and traffic regulations. The police officers have full arrest authority under federal law (Title 40 United States Code Section 1315), and may also issue Federal and New York State summonses, protect persons and property, prevent breaches of the peace, and enforce rules and regulations for the protection of property at the Academy. The guards have no arrest authority other than that of an ordinary citizen.

Curriculum

Freshmen enter as plebe candidates in early July, when they begin a two-and-a-half-week indoctrination period familiarly called "indoc." Indoc is run by upperclass drill instructors overseen by United States Maritime Service officers of the Commandant of Midshipman's staff. This high stress period involves physical training, marching, and an intensive introduction to regimental life at the academy. After indoc, the academic year begins. On Acceptance Day, in August, first-year students take the oath of office of the U.S. Navy Reserve and become members of the Regiment as plebes. Plebes are required to adhere to stringent rules affecting most aspects of their daily lives. In the spring of their freshmen year, plebes are recognized as Midshipmen, fourth class, a status that eases the restrictions and affords some privileges.

The following academic programs (Bachelor of Science 4 year degree programs) are offered at USMMA:

  • Marine Transportation
  • Maritime Logistics and Security
  • Marine Engineering
  • Marine Engineering Systems
  • Marine Engineering and Shipyard Management
  • Maritime Operations and Technology

Midshipmen focus on one of two ship transport areas of education: marine transportation or marine engineering. Marine transportation students learn about ship navigation, cargo handling, navigation rules and maritime law. Marine engineering students learn about the function of the ship's engines and its supporting systems.

There are six academic majors:

  • The two "Deck Majors" are: Marine Transportation and Maritime Logistics and Security. These majors grant midshipman a Third Mate license for work on steam or motor vessels of unlimited tonnage.
  • The three "Engine Majors" are: Marine Engineering, Marine Engineering Systems, and Marine Engineering and Shipyard Management. These majors lead to the issuance of Third Assistant Engineer (3 A/E - Engineering Officer) licenses for steam and motor vessel of any horsepower. Marine Engineering Systems, and Marine Engineering and Shipyard Management, graduates are also qualified to sit for the Engineer in Training (EIT) examination administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES).
  • The final major, Maritime Operations and Technology, referred to as "Shoppers", may obtain certification as "Qualified Members of Engine Department", the highest unlicensed rating in the engine department.

For part of sophomore and junior years, third- and second-class midshipmen serve as cadets on US merchant ships. Midshipmen are typically paired two to a ship, an engineering cadet and a deck cadet. Midshipmen work and function as part of the crew and gain an opportunity for hands-on experience as well as the opportunity to travel abroad to foreign ports. The average midshipman travels to eighteen countries during the three-hundred-day training period. This practical training necessitates an academic year that runs from late July to mid-June.

Toward the end of 1st class (senior) year, midshipmen prepare for exams to be licensed as either Third Assistant Engineers (steam and motor unlimited HP) or Third Mates (any gross tons, oceans). All US merchant marine officers must be licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard.

**NOTE: CADET vs MIDSHIPMAN - While these terms are frequently used interchangeably to refer to students at USMMA, to do so is incorrect. The terms serve two different purposes--the term "Midshipman" refers to a military rank, whereas the term "Cadet" refers to a job description, much the same way the term "Captain" is used for any officer in command of a ship regardless of actual rank. Example: Midshipman Smith is the Deck Cadet on the SS Kauai. Midshipman Jones is the Engine Cadet.

Distinguished midshipmen

The Merchant Marine Distinguished Service Medal is the highest award which can be bestowed upon members of the United States Merchant Marine and is the service's equivalent of the Medal of Honor. Since mariners serving in the U.S. Merchant Marine are not directly employed by the Department of Defense, they are not eligible for the Medal of Honor.

Since USMMA opened in 1943, eight midshipmen have been awarded the Distinguished Service Medal.

  • Midshipman Francis A. Dales,
  • Midshipman Elmer C. Donnelly,
  • Midshipman Carl M. Medved - Awarded posthumously,
  • Midshipman Edwin Joseph O'Hara - Awarded posthumously,
  • Midshipman Walter G. Sittmann,
  • Midshipman William M. Thomas, Jr.,
  • Midshipman Phil Cox Vannais, and
  • Midshipman Frederick R. Zito.

After graduation

Midshipmen at Kings Point have a wide variety of options upon graduation. Unlike the nation's other Federal Service Academies, graduates of USMMA are required to fulfill their service obligation on their own by providing annual proof of employment in a wide variety of occupations as approved by MARAD for a specified period of time.

Graduates may elect to fulfill their service obligation by working as licensed officers on US-flagged merchant vessels, as civilians in the maritime industry, or as active duty officers in any branch of the uniformed services of the United States, including the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, Public Health Service, or the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration. Regardless, graduates are required to maintain their US Coast Guard-issued merchant marine officer's license for a period of at least 6 years.

Those graduates electing to enter the civilian work force in the maritime industry, and those sailing in the Merchant Marine, are also required to maintain their Navy Reserve commission (or another reserve component commission in the Army National Guard or Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, Air Force National Guard or Reserve, or Coast Guard Reserve) for a period of at least 8 years after their commissioning as officers, and are required to serve in the maritime industry for at least 5 years following graduation.

  • On average about 1/3 of each graduating class goes to sea working in the United States Merchant Marine as officers serving on ships in overseas trade, inland & near-coastal transportation, research vessels, and other types of vessels.
  • Another 1/3 generally go to work in the maritime industry ashore working in commercial shipping, ship broking, intermodal logistics, marine engineering, maritime law, maritime insurance, or defense contracting.
  • And, about 1/3 enter the military as active duty Commissioned Officers. Of those going on active duty, most enter the Navy as Naval Aviators, Naval Flight Officers, Surface Warfare Officers, Submarine Officers, or occasionally even as SEALs. Some midshipmen enter the Marine Corps or Coast Guard, while a small number enter the Army, Air Force and their Reserve or National Guard components. Midshipmen may also apply for commissions in the Public Health Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) with the NOAA Commissioned Corps.

A graduate from USMMA receives upon graduation:

  • 1: A Bachelor of Science degree,
  • 2: An Unlimited USCG License as a Merchant Marine Officer, either 3rd Mate or 3rd Assistant Engineer, and
  • 3: A Commission as an Ensign in the U.S. Navy Reserve Strategic Sealift Officer Program (see: Navy Reserve Merchant Marine Insignia), or if accepted, as an Ensign in the US Navy, US Coast Guard (USCG), or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), or as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Marine Corps, US Army, or US Air Force. Graduates who choose military service must serve at least five years in the active duty force of their respective service.

American Merchant Marine Museum

The USMMA in Kings Point, New York is the home of the American Merchant Marine Museum. The museum houses:

  • A learning center which is open to the regiment and the public
  • The Academy's collection of maritime art and artifacts
  • Exhibits, including:
    • The only known back-acting engine still in existence, that of the former gunboat USS Ranger
    • The National Maritime Hall of Fame (the only permanent exhibit of its kind in the nation), which honors people and ships important to American oceanic, coastal, inland waterways, and Great Lakes shipping. Inductees into the Hall of Fame must be deceased, or sunk or scrapped, for at least five years. Only one person and one ship are inducted into the Hall of Fame each year. The Hall inducted its first set of members in or about 1982.

Among the museum's many items are the world's largest collection of navigation and nautical instruments, and the only extensive selection of ship's china, on display anywhere in the world. In addition, one of the five surrender swords presented by the Japanese to General of the Army Douglas MacArthur at the conclusion of World War II is housed there.

Images from the museum and from the Academy can be seen at the Photographic Catalog of the US Merchant Marine Academy website.
