determining the seniority at which they are promoted to lleutenant, which depends upon the class of certificate obtained in the various examinations. The revised rules are now published In Fleet Orders. Sub-lieutenants who obtain Arst- class certificates in all their exam- inations are to be promoted after 16 months' service as sub-lieu- tenant, including acting time: and the period to be served varies, ac- cording to examination resulta, up to a maximum of two years
