Can an enlisted date an officer if they are not in the same unit?

Not a good idea, the military has a no fraternization rule between officers and enlisted. Fraternization falls under Article 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The actual offense can be more clearly defined by the individual services and by local unit and base regulations. It is not necessarily going to be punished, but it can be.

The Marine Corps is much less lenient on the charge, partially because of the smaller number of individuals involved.

What was the Navy special force in World War 2 that wore gold earrings?

This answer comes from an old Marine only vaguely familiar with Navy tradition.

Traditionally those sailors who had served aboard a submarine were entitled to wear a gold earring in their right ear. As late as the mid-1970s this was the case, and this privilege was even extended to Marines who had served as ships company aboard a sub.

It was not a specific force. It was part of Navy tradition that a sailor was entitled to wear a single gold ring if he had survived a ship being sunk. So if your ship had been sunk and you survived, you could wear an earring.

Did the colonists had a stronger Navy than the British navy?

The American Colonies in the time of the American Revolution most certainly did not have a stronger navy, in terms of pure numbers or technology. England was, around that time, the most powerful naval power in the world. There is no doubt to that fact. The Royal Navy employed well over 600 vessels, from tiny sloops to first-rate ships of the line. However, their navy was not employed in one area; Great Britain had naval forces spread over the earth as a result of their size and power. Ships patrolled the waters around various British colonies and such, or were engaged in wars or operated out of naval bases located throughout the world. Halifax, in Nova Scotia, was the headquarters of the British North American Squadron and they operated out of that port for the majority of the American Revolution and War of 1812. The Colonies had the advantage of fighting in their home waters, which they knew well. Many of the sailors and captains in the Continental Navy were originally merchants or had worked in the Royal Navy in the past, and as such had the advantage of local knowledge and tactics and training employed in the Royal Navy, on top of the fact that the North American squadron was not provided with the number of ships and men they requested, and were thus limited in their fight against the rebelling colonists, whereas the colonists had numerous ports to operate out of which. The American Navy managed to win the Revolution through a combination of luck, skill, and misfortune on the part of the British, on top of the established European superpower of the French fleet. british had a stronger navy.
