I've been out of the Navy for a long time so I'm wondering if female officers are addressed as "Yes, sir" or "Yes, ma'am"?
Excellent question. Here's a good answer (for now):
The correct term of address for a female officer is "Ma'am", although the Navy has a tendency to refer to junior officers as Mr (male) and Miss (female) when they are being spoken to . The other branches simply address them by their respective rank(s) and last name.

The day may arrive (unless the female majority relents from its attacks on males) to refer to ALL officers with a gender nuetral form of address. This would have to be preceeded by making the terms Mr. and Mrs. politically incorrect, as well. Any ideas what the neutered prefix will be, "Comrade" Contrary?
