Explain to me why you have 3 ranks of seaman (seaman recruit, seaman apprentice, and seaman) along with 2 Rear Admirals, and a Poop Deck, and take offense to people thinking there are so many homosexualls in the navy.

The three ranks of seaman provide for staged training and advancement.
As to the Rear Admirals, if they aren't mustang they are probably just ticket-punchers anyhow, so who cares?
The Poop Deck went away with the Mains'l.
And homosexuals? If they can get elected to Congress, you sure ain't gonna keep them outta the Nav.

They don't have poop decks any longer. Those were only on the tall ships of the 1800s.
They take offense for people thinking things like that, because the thinkng is flawed.
