   It is my understanding that a "Midshipman" is what they call the cadets
at the Naval Academy, whereas an Ensign is the navy equivalent of an Army
private. Midshipmen will become lieutenants on successful completion of 
their Academy training. You Navy folks out there correct me (and the others)
if I am wrong.
