The maritime academies are the<br />
Nation’s principal source of entry-level merchant marine officers and an integral component of defense<br />
readiness. They support national security policy by providing a guaranteed source of U.S. merchant<br />
marine officers to meet domestic and international crewing needs.<br />
The maritime industry continues to present a promising future for the men and women graduating from<br />
maritime academies. Graduates from all 7 American maritime academies continue to be regarded as<br />
some of the most highly-trained seafarers entering the domestic and international job markets. New<br />
opportunities are increasing internationally as the worldwide shortage of licensed officers continues.<br />
