What navy uniform in place of tuxedo?
There is a special Dinner Dress uniform that resembles a tuxedo, however it is quite expensive.

How can you advance at the Navy's boot camp?
You can't - unless you're prior service and are re-entering boot camp for the second time (after being discharged for a certain period and re-entering the service), you're stuck being an E-1 recruit just like everyone else in your company.
There are company leaders, typically a Recruit Chief and First Class, but those are selected by the Company Commander after the Company is formed. They're typically older or those who have had leadership training as a civilian.

Which ship was nicknamed Old Ironsides?
The heavy frigate, USS Constitution, launched in 1797, earned the nickname 'Old Ironsides' after the battle with the HMS Guerriere during the War of 1812.
This is a reference to "Old Ironsides," a colonial era battleship which is docked in Boston Harbor. If I recall correctly, this battleship never lost in combat and has lasted more than 200 years, thus an "old Ironsides" reference would suggest that whatever/whoever it is being compared to is stalwart and resilient.
It is true that "Old Ironsides" had not lost in combat, but the hull had deflected a bullet, and it's crew members gave it the nickname 'Old Ironsides,' crediting the USS Constitution with having an "iron" hull.
What is underway in deck watch keeping?
When a ship gets underway (either from a pier mooring or it weighs (pulls up) anchor, it is free of any mooring and thus under its own power or is being pulled by one or more tugboats into a navigable channel in order to navigate to the ocean.
The change is always noted in the log, as it signifies the ship's status change from being in-port or anchored, and physically moving under its own power. The change also signifies the switch of colors on submarines; as soon as the last mooring line is cast off, the order is given to shift colors from the in-port mast to the underway mast (stern mast to the bridge).
Where do you store ropes on a ship?
Lines (the proper term, not ropes) are stored within recessed Line Lockers on most vessels; they're able to hold 300'-600' of 3" mooring line.
