- Master's mate
|
| rdfs:comment | - A Master's Mate is a member of the crew of a ship who is directly responsible to the sailing master for the navigation of the ship, condition of sails and rigging, and anchors. Master's Mates are usually selected from senior warrant officers and senior midshipmen who are unlikely to pass the examination for lieutenant.
- Master's mate is an obsolete rating which was used by the Royal Navy, United States Navy and merchant services in both countries for a senior petty officer who assisted the master. Master's mates evolved into the modern rank of Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, while in the merchant service they evolved into the numbered mates or officers.
