Roger graduated from the Naval Academy in 1956 with a BS in naval engineering.
The sub-field of ocean engineering is, in fact, viewed by some as being all-inclusive, but the word "ocean" clearly excludes much of the marine domain where engineering is practiced and is of vital importance.
In short, the designation "naval architecture" is gradually developing a ring of antiquation, conveying a quaint, perhaps romatic, and certainly exclusive, but "low-tech" image in the eyes of the general public, and the general engineering community as well.
