Don’t ask, don’t tell. controversial u.s. dod policy concerning sexual orientation. d?dalus’ creature: one of the most famous sea serpent sightings was reported by captain peter m’quahe of the frigate hms d?dalus. on 6th august 1848, off the cape of good hope, the midshipman of the watch reported a strange object approaching. the captain and five others moved to the gunwale, where they watched the creature for twenty minutes using telescopes. m’quahe later reported that all seven witnesses saw... ... an enormous serpent with head and shoulders kept about four feet constantly above the sea and at the very least sixty feet of the animal a fleur d’eau (just above the water) ... so close under our lee quarter that, had it been a man of my acquaintance, i should have recognized his features with the naked eye.... the diameter of the serpent was about 15 or 16 inches behind the head, which was without a doubt that of a snake ... its colour a dark brown with yellowish-white about the throat. when eminent scientists poured scorn on the sighting, captain m’quahe issued a public rebuttal saying, “i adhere to the statements ... in my official report to the admiralty.” (see also appendix.)

Midshipman, àíãëèéñêèé
- 1. during the 17th century, a naval rating for an experienced seaman.
- A naval cadet appointed by the admiralty, with the exception of one in each ship appointed by the captain. no person can be appointed midshipman until he has served one year, and passed his examinations; nor a lieutenant without having previously served six years in the royal navy as midshipman, and having further passed two severe examinations—one in seamanship and one in gunnery. a midshipman is then the station in which a young volunteer is trained in the several exercises necessary to attain a knowledge of steam, machinery, discipline, the general movements and operations of a ship, and qualify him to command.
- Formerly, a senior petty officer belonging to a group from which commissioned officers would be chosen. so-called because they berthed amidships, between the crew who berthed forward and the commissioned officers who lived aft. to be rated midshipman, a candidate had to have served at least two years at sea, either before the mast or as a captain’s servant, the latter position being reserved for “young gentlemen” with patronage connections. after a minimum of six years of sea service a midshipman could take the examination for third lieutenant, but might have to wait many more years before a vacancy arose. thereafter advancement depended entirely on seniority (see also master’s mate). during the napoleonic wars midshipmen tended to fall into three distinct categories: • well-connected teenage “gentlemen,” confidently expecting to pass the lieutenant’s examination and be commissioned. • ambitious but embittered 30–40 year-olds, who had either repeatedly failed that exam or, worse, had passed but lacked the essential patron. • hard-bitten professional seamen, promoted from the lower deck and not expecting to go further. nowadays it is the rank of the most junior british naval officer, equivalent to u.s. ensign but not commissioned and classified as “subordinate officer.” the rank insignia, which originated in 1758, is a white collar patch that some say can be traced all the way back to roman times when a white toga was the badge of aspirants to higher office. in the united states the title refers to members of the naval reserve officer training corps at a u.s. university and to students at the u.s. naval and merchant marine academies. navy regulations give them an ambiguous status, saying “midshipmen are, by law, officers in a qualified sense” (author’s emphasis). see also passed midshipman and aviation midshipman.
