    The purpose is to train sailors for merchant ships, ie. tankers, cargo, etc. where they can earn a fantastic living. Some are employed by shipping companies in an on shore job. Secondly, they serve in the Naval Reserve with the rank of Ensign. This service covers the cost of their education, which is free while at the academy.
