Programs

The Department of Maritime Operations is centered on the Cal Maritime waterfront and encompasses the Training Ship GOLDEN BEAR, Boathouse, and Pier. The faculty and staff are comprised of both deck and engineering marine professionals of various backgrounds and experiences. Many of the faculty are alumni of the Academy.

The mission of the department is to teach Applied Technology through experiential or hands-on learning. The goal is to provide cadets with the basic hands-on skills, technical expertise, and leadership experiences so that they can continue to develop as licensed officers throughout their career either at sea or ashore.
