Wehrmacht
In the navy of the Wehrmacht , the rank designation sea cadet or fahnenjunker was used analogously to the army and air force . The naval cadet was on an equal footing with the SS Junker of the Waffen SS . The next higher rank for officer candidates was ensign at sea .
The midshipman's insignia showed a round gold braid over a five-pointed gold star .
Imperial Navy
In the Imperial Navy , the cadet (from 1899 sea cadet) and the (higher-ranking) sea cadet (from 1899 ensign in the sea ) were ranks of the sea officer candidates . The equivalent in the Imperial Army was the Portepee Ensign for both naval officer candidate ranks . The cadet ranked between mate and chief mate , the midshipman (before the officers' main examination) as a non-commissioned officer without porterage between chief mate and vice sergeant . After the chief officer examination, the midshipman stood as a so-called "saber cadet" (from 1899 "saber ensign") directly behind the sergeant and was now equal in rank to the "sword ensign" of the land army (in contrast to portepee ensign were "sabers -Kadett / Ensign "or" sword-ensign "not official, but UMG. names).
The training of the midshipmen lasted around 3½ years. The regulations for the individual training phases (especially on board and shore times) have varied over the years. The following description gives the regulations around the year 1885: The candidate was employed as a cadet (from 1899 sea cadet). After six months of practical training on a cadet training ship and six months of theory at the Kiel Naval School (in Mürwik since 1910 ), he took the midshipman's exam and was promoted to midshipman (from 1899 ensign at sea).
During a two-year school ship voyage, the candidate passed the first naval officer examination and was promoted to sub-lieutenant at sea (from 1899 lieutenant) without a patent if he had a) received a favorable certificate of service and b) the naval officers of his naval station considered him "capable of corps" and this in an election (officers' right of co-option).
Uniforms
The officer candidates , also maritime officer candidates , wore a sailor jacket with three buttons on the cuffs and a black and red clasp made of silver braid on the shoulders. In addition a white shirt with a corner collar ("father murderer"), black tie and dark trousers. The hat was similar to the model used by the naval officers, but the oak leaf embroidery around the cockade was missing on the lower rank. The equipment also included the marine dagger with a white ivory handle and portepee. The latter was also allowed to wear the officer's saber on the officer's paddock after passing the officer's examination.
Common Navy
In the Austro-Hungarian Navy, the midshipman was the lower of the two officer candidate ranks. The higher rank was the sea ensign .
