In the “for what it is worth” department, the United States Merchant Marine Academy is a perfectly legitimate way to obtain an officer’s commission in the Navy. Applying to it in addition to USNA is very easy. Just list it too when you apply to your Senators and Congressman for USNA.

The only real disadvantage to USMMA is that the academic majors are extremely restricted. Only five majors, and all have to do with ships and shipping. Personally, I did not understand this option when I applied to USNA and NROTC many years ago. If I had known, then I would have applied. If accepted, I would have gone and majored in Logistics, which is my current field now as a civilian.
