Golden Bear. Merchant Marine Officers of tomorrow! Midshipmen of the California Maritime Academy are shown at various tasks on board their training ship 'Golden Bear' during annual cruise which took them to Lima, Peru, and Acapulco, Mexico. These pix taken during run from San Diego to Long Beach. Midshipmen call 'Golden Bear' the Academy's 'glamour girl' because they enjoy cruise on her more than pouring over textbooks and chalk talks in Academy which is located near Vallejo, Calif. Midshipmen take three year course, emerge as Third Mates in Deck Department, and Third Assistant Engineers in engineer room. They automatically earn commissions as Ensigns in Naval Reserve's Merchant Marine Reserve, are subject to Navy call-up. 1: Midshipman Signalman COlin Campbell, 21, of Los Angeles, is shown poised to answer call from passing ship while Midshipman Signalman Ivan Dalgren, 20, Astoria, Oregon, waits to take down message. 2: Captain Ralph M.G. Swany, commander of training ship Golden Bear, looks in direction that Midshipman Norman Sherer, 20, Santa Monica, is taking a bearing to locate ship's position at sea. Capt. Swany keeps sharp watch on midshipmen's activity after he has turned operation of ship over to them in practical training program. 3: Midshipmen enjoy passing knowledge gained in California Maritime Academy studies to Sea Scouts as part of program to interest them in striving for Academy entry when 'they grow up'. Here R.F. Luckey, left, midshipmen, explains how magnetic compass is constructed and operates".; Supplementary material continues: "4: R.F. Luckey, tallest of group, explains bridge procedure to Orange County Sea Scouts during Golden Bear's cruise from San Diego to Long Beach. 5: Midshipman Commander James Williams shows sea scout Allen Nies, 14, how to take a bearing to plot ship's position off shore. 6: After ship gets under way, spare lines are stowed on reel.

Here Midshipman Walter Newton, 18, Los Angeles, is shown 'flaking down' line ready for use when ship ties up. 10: Robert Hahn, 19, Oakland, bow-talkers, gets message from Bridge while Midshipman Commander James Williams, 24, in charge of bow line detail waits to hear if it is command to 'take in one or all lines forward'.

补充说明文本写道：“格申（Gershon）绘图。《金熊号：明日的商船军官！》
加州海事学院（California Maritime Academy）的见习军官们在年度巡航期间，于训练舰“金熊号”上执行各项任务，此次巡航途经秘鲁利马与墨西哥阿卡普尔科。本组照片拍摄于该舰从圣迭戈前往长滩的航段。见习军官们将“金熊号”称为学院的“魅力女神”，因为相较于在加州瓦列霍附近的校园内研读课本、聆听课堂讲授，他们更享受在舰上的巡航时光。
见习军官需修读三年课程，毕业后将成为甲板部三副以及轮机部三管轮。他们将自动获得海军预备役商船后备队的少尉军衔，并有义务接受海军征召。

1. 见习信号兵科林·坎贝尔（21岁，洛杉矶）正准备应答过往船只的呼叫，与此同时，见习信号兵伊万·达尔格伦（20岁，俄勒冈州阿斯托利亚）正等待接收报文。
2. 训练舰“金熊号”舰长拉尔夫·M·G·斯瓦尼正望向见习军官诺曼·谢勒（20岁，圣莫尼卡）的方向——谢勒正在通过测定方位来确定舰船在海上的位置。在将舰船的操作交由见习军官们开展实操训练后，斯瓦尼舰长仍会密切关注他们的作业情况。
3. 见习军官们会将在加州海事学院所学的知识传授给海童军，以此吸引年轻人在长大后报考该学院。图中左侧的见习军官R·F·勒基（R.F. Luckey）正在讲解磁罗盘（magnetic compass）的构造与工作原理。

4. 作为团队中最高大的学员，R·F·勒基正在“金熊号”从圣迭戈前往长滩的巡航期间，向奥兰治县的海童军讲解驾驶台（bridge）操作流程。
5. 见习军官詹姆斯·威廉姆斯正向14岁的海童军艾伦·尼斯（Allen Nies）演示如何测定方位以绘制近海舰船位置图。
6. 舰船启航后，备用缆绳需卷绕至缆绳卷筒上。图中前排从左至右依次为：见习军官W·L·加哈特（W.L. Gahart，20岁，埃克塞特）、罗伯特·J·莱贝尔（Robert J. Leibel，21岁，阿拉米达）；中间为吉恩·克莱因（Gene Kline，18岁，内华达州），他们正在处理缆绳；左上侧为道格拉斯·马洛尼（Douglas Maloney，18岁，旧金山）与马文·海曼（Marvin Hyman，18岁，洛杉矶），二人正在操作缆绳卷筒。
7. 见习军官肯尼斯·多蒂（19岁，洛杉矶）作为驾驶台传令兵，正等待来自见习军官诺曼·谢勒（20岁，圣莫尼卡）的指令——此时谢勒担任值更官，负责指挥训练舰“金熊号”。
8. 见习军官们需要掌握方位测定技能，而他们工作的一部分便是将相关知识传授给海童军。图中左侧的R·F·勒基正在向海童军理查德·马登、罗纳德·皮、艾伦·梅斯以及理查德·马登讲解方位圈的使用方法。
9. 巡航期间一切事务都需井然有序。图中的见习军官沃尔特·牛顿（18岁，洛杉矶）正在“整理缆绳”，以备舰船靠泊时使用。
10. 见习军官罗伯特·哈恩（19岁，奥克兰）作为船首传令兵，正从驾驶台接收指令；而见习军官詹姆斯·威廉姆斯（24岁，负责船首缆绳分队）正等待指令，以确认是否收到“收前部一根或全部缆绳”的命令。他的职责是传递指令并监督操作流程，确保训练舰“金熊号”顺利驶离圣迭戈码头。

11. 两名来自圣佩德罗的学员正在执行驾驶台值勤任务，此时“金熊号”正驶向长滩。见习军官约翰·瑞安（C·J·瑞安医生之子）正在操舵，而见习军官理查德·雅各布森（J·A·雅各布森船长之子，长滩港引航主管）正在检查罗盘，以确认瑞安是否将舰船保持在预定航向上。瑞安曾修习两年预医学课程，之后转而投身航海事业，计划以商船航运为职业发展方向。
12. 见习军官们同样需要掌握轮机舱内的各项操作！图中的见习军官詹姆斯·帕特森（22岁，波莫纳）正在发电机旁值守，以响应驾驶台的电力需求——此时“金熊号”正准备启航，驾驶台需要电力驱动绞盘（winches）以处理缆绳。
13. 见习军官巴里·费伯（23岁，洛杉矶）正在为“金熊号”启航点燃锅炉（boiler）。
14. 见习军官罗伯特·希斯勒（20岁，萨克拉门托）正等待来自驾驶台的启航指令，他双手握住节流阀。”
