No - there are a lot more Navy aircraft than there are Academy graduates. Though Annapolis graduates tend to get better assignments, any college graduate with the proper degree (typically aeronautical engineering) can be a Naval Aviator.

How was Birish in the war?

The British Harrier Pilots did well, but the British Navy under estimated the Argentine A-4 Skyhawk pilots (the US sold them US Jet Aircraft years earlier). Had not the Argentine pilots armed their bombs better, the British Navy would have probably lost the war. The A-4 pilots scored many hits on British warships, but half were duds. They had been armed for detonating at different altitudes. Had those bombs been armed properly, the British Navy would've been sunk, nearly all of them.
