20 be regarded as valuable acquisition.
There are four classes OF officers In
the United States navy, and each is
known by a special set of devicea These
classes are commissioned officers of the
line, the commissioned corps, warrant
officers and petty officers. The first two
include the graduates from Annapolis
and regularly commissioned officers,
and the third and fourth classes COM
prise enlisted men who have been pro-
NOTED. The rank devices are worn by
commissioned officers ON the shoulder
knots when full dress is worn, but ON
service coats the devices are embroider-
ed on the collar. All commissioned off.
GERS above the rank of ensign wear two
gold bullion epauletS, with their re-
