Rama:
'''''Enseigne de vaisseau non entretenu''''' (litterally: "Ensign without a salary") was a junior [[naval rank]] in the [[French Navy]] during the [[Revolutionary Wars]].
The duties of an ''Enseigne de vaisseau non entretenu'' were the same as those of an ''enseigne de vaisseau entretenu'' ([[Ensign (rank)|Ensign]]), but on a contractual basis rather than a full commission. An ''Enseigne de vaisseau non entretenu'' would wear the uniform and have authority only when on service, and was not paid when off-duty.
There was a fixed number (200) of positions for "entretenus", which required a competitive examination. The number "non entretenus" had no such limit, and one could obtain the status by a simple examination or by captaining a merchantman.<ref>[http://bit.ly/2WMsMX7 ''Révolutions de Paris, dédiées à la nation et au district des Petits-Augustins: Avec gravures et cartes des departemens du Royaume de France''. 8. Trimester 3. Année de la liberté française. - 1791]</ref><ref>[http://bit.ly/2EhgWgs Les Tropéziens et la marine de guerre ]</ref> This allowed the Navy to augment its ranks at a time of crisis and as the personel of the Navy was thin and disorganised by emigration and purges.
