For mere mortals looking for a commission, the maximum age for a commission is 35, because for a 20 year commission, it's the maximum age you can obtain a commission since the max retirement age is 55. Specialty areas can be older (e.g., Doctors age can be up to 47, and they don't have to retire at 55). Aviator age requirements are bit different, and prior service also affects the age requirement.
It should be noted that the Navy, like any other branch, has waivers for anything. If a candidate has the background and experience the Navy wants and age is a factor, they'll submit a waiver to get it taken care of.
