How to give advice to the Navy?

Well it would depend on what kind of advice, if its legal advice about something you think they are doing unlawfully then maybe contact their legal dept, if its how to restructure their fleet then maybe you can write a blog about it?

I would think the admirals who have been in service 20 or more years have their own ideas how to run the navy, and with their guidance buy new warships with the Pentagon, which have the Congress and other organizations as watch dogs. Your advice if it doesn't agree with the admirals will most likely be ignored.

I fully agree with Sea Toby. In fact, I would not trust anyone else but those Admirals with their experience in running a navy. It's all the folks that have no navy experience that always seem to muck things up with their opinions and advice.

I'd suggest contacting the office of your senator (assuming you are from the US), and submitting a well written statement or question through him. A member of my family was able to get an official response from the USN that way. The key is if it isn't respectful and well stated the staff of the senator is going to chuck it and you'll never hear anything again.

Ditto. Same applies for the UK, Australia etc. Legislative representatives are the best way to go. Contact a few of them if you must. They are tasked with keeping an eye on the executive, questioning why and/or how things happen.

If you are in the Bundeswehr one can send ideas to the MoD and if it tunrs out to be a really great idea they give you 20.000€ (Not only Navy but all services).

I don't know if it ever happend though but they are advertising it.

The US Navy does that if you figure out a tool or way of doing things that saves significant manpower and money.
