Command Master Chief Petty Officer

From Free net encyclopedia

A Command Master Chief Petty Officer is the senior enlisted person in a United States Navy command structure. In many ways he or she is considered a fount of knowledge and a parent figure. Being the primary liaison between the officers and enlisteds, they are a major resource for the commanding officer, and often are called upon to gauge morale and battle readiness. On smaller ships, this position may be filled by a Senior Chief Petty Officer. On submarines, these enlisted personnel are known as 'Chief of the Boat', or COBs.
