9:36 what's the difference between MAA and CMAA? 10:59 I had an uncle who was in the Navy from 1930-1959. He was in ordnance. He struck his way up to GM2 and at the time, the next rate was Turret Captain 1st Class (TC1c) so he made that, then Chief Turret Captain (CTC at the time). In January 1942 he was a Chief. In February 1942 he was appointed Warrant Officer (Gunner) and in September 1942 he was commissioned an Ensign. He was on lots of battleships but I don't believe he was on any Iowa-class ships. Never the New Jersey. Retired in 1959 as a Commander and the only thing that kept him from making Captain was lacking a bachelor's degree.

[@billpaine6241]

A ship the size of NJ would have had several Masters-at-Arms. The petty officers had one office, the CPOs had the other, thus "MAA" on one door and CMAA on the other. It's also possible the "CMAA" office was exclusively for the senior-most MA, who would have been at least a Chief and more likely a Senior Chief. In civilian police terms, the office marked MAA was the squad room, while the CMAA office was for the brass.

Nice bit of ships archeology. The Warrant Officers Mess on BB55, USS North Carolina was converted into meeting/training space when the WOs were moved to the Wardroom in March 1943. Located between the barbettes of Turrets I &II it was adjacent to the WO head and their staterooms. Also the Chaplain lived nearby. The compartment was also used for Catholic Chapel.

[@kendog52361]

I got a kick out of how the "ship's chief investigator" got an "unaltered office", since he's one of the most disliked persons, since he's investigating anything that went on. As for the "relationship" between the MAAs and MARDET, I would compare it closer to the MARDET being the SWAT Team to the MAA's "uniformed cops", with the NIS being the "detective" on the ship. I also noticed how the MARDET Space/Office had the door "cut in half", allowing it to serve as a sort of guard post for the Flag Space, when the Admiral's Flag was aboard.

[@reecedrystek2992]

True, I would also speculate that it was a temporary additional duty so there was never a permanent position in that office. Not regularly used means little effort is put into keeping it current.

[@kendog52361]

@@reecedrystek2992 Actually, while it was 30+ years ago, nowadays, "big capitol ships" like Carriers, and presumably BBs if they were still in service, have a permanent "NCIS Agent Afloat" on the ship. Yes, back then it was NIS, and they were still "developing" into what became NCIS, but I would still think there would be a permanent "Agent Afloat", due to the varying roles they perform. That being, both on board roles, such as investigations, but also roles such as coordinating Force Protection, with the local authorities, when they put into foreign ports, for "port visits".

[@joebanville7510]

Yes the big ships back then regularly had an agent on board. NIS by this time, was well developed as a law enforcement agency, the name change to NCIS was done for political correctness

[@richardgreen1383]

Interesting that the Warrants had a separate space from more senior officers. When I was in ASW Squadron 24 aboard the USS Randolph (1967) we had a W-4 aboard in charge of the electricians. He absolutely hated "bird farms". Complained that anytime they made a slight turn they would announce "heel to port" or "heel to starboard" when the ship only angled a few degrees. He had come up through Destroyers and then into cruisers. He gripped that he had been promoted out of his preferred duty in the cruiser/destroyer area. The only billets in the cruiser/destroyer branch were on battleships. But, at the time, there were no active battleships, so he got transferred to a carrier. As a young JG on my first time at sea, every time I saw him in the outer area of the wardroom (the only place out paths crossed), I would sit and talk to him, absorbing his Naval knowledge like a sponge. I did point out to him when he complained about the heel to xx announcements, that there were these things up on the roof with wheels on them. It was a warning so if the tie downs had been removed (only if a plane captain was in the cockpit to man the brakes) the brakes had to be lock on to make sure they stayed on the roof.

[@saltydawg1793]

The weapons office you show on the second deck with all the sailor art slowly being revealed was NJ's Weapons Office when I visited the ship in 1984, and when I went back to USS IOWA to resume my duties as the recommissioning Weapons Officer, my officer was in the same place. In the forward office was the Weapons Department Yeoman and his files and a desk or two. Aft against the forward bulkhead next to the pass through between fore and aft offices was my desk. Aft of mine to stbd was the Gunnery, Missile, and Fire Control officer's desks as I recall.

Difference of opinion at time stamp. 12:12. Sir when you say "What skills are you learning as a gunner's mate on 16 inch guns that apply to modern civilian life" That applied in the 1947 and later as well. (grins jokingly) While many ATF laws are written post 1967, no one had their own POM POM or 16 inch guns at home nor the office. Hence the G. I. Bill. Yes computers and other schools were added.

Food for thought: I once asked a person (my mother) who used to run an antiques store how old something had to be before she would consider it as antique. Her answer was that it needed to be around a century, give or take (at what point "old" becomes "antique" is basically the same problem posed by asking when a tall hill becomes a mountain). By this definition only 2 battleships that still exist count. Mikasa & Texas. addendum: I have no problem using antique to mean something akin to "old and not used much anymore/elsewhere" as used to describe New Jersey in this video. I just thought I would share this little tidbit.

[@whyjnot420]

@@mrz80 You forgot about vessels. Vessel is the most acceptable generic term for “every description of craft, ship, or other contrivance used as a means of transportation on water.” (as stated in the Dictionary of Naval Terms, from the Naval Institute Press) The actual name of the inventory list of service craft & ships for the USN is called the National Vessel Register. That is what clinches it for me. Note that they explicitly state "service craft and ships". This means that according to them (the USN itself), craft are not ships and ships are not craft. (You can find that statement right on the homepage of the NVR.) But yeah, you have to love these more subjective terms. And by "love" I mean "get driven insane by". btw, personally I view "antique" as "old enough to be beyond living memory". Once something is older than the oldest person on the planet, I consider it an antique. Roughly 110-120 years. (The October 2017 edition of Naval History Magazine has an article titled "Of Ships and Boats and . . ." that you might be interested in. Its on the United States Naval Institute site.

Could you discuss how warrant officers fit into the ship’s organization and relationships to commissioned officers and chiefs?

[@colbeausabre8842]

A warrant officer is a subject matter expert, almost always promoted from a senior Petty Office. For exampl,e a Gunner, will almost always have been aChief Gunners Mate as a petty officer. The primary difference between a warrant and a petty officer is that a warrant has responsibilities similar to a commissioned officer., however a warrant officer has a limited area of expertise, advancing to a positions of greater responsilbilty and requiring greater expertise in his field., but not leaving it. For example, a gunnery warrant officer my begin his career as the Gunner (Warrant Officer First Class) on a destroyer, get promoted to Chief Warrant Officer Second Class as the Gunner on a cruiser then be promoted to Chief Warrant Officer Third Class and become the Gunner on a battleship. When he makes Chief Warrant Officer Fourth Class, he may serve as the Gunner on the staff of the commander of a squadron/. Finally, he gets promoted to Chief Warrant Officer Fifth Class (a senior position indeed)), and he may serve as the Gunner for a fleet. A commissioned officer's career is very different. He may begin as an Assistant Engineer,, move to being Communications Officer, then become First Lieutenant, before becoming Navigator and then Executive Officer. The idea is to give him a broad base of experience in preparation for when he is given command of a vessel. Warrant officers are addressed as "Mister/Miss./Missuses" or by calling them "Sir or Maam" by those of lesser rank. There are also Limited Duty Officers who are commissioned and sublect matter experts like warrants, but I really don't un derstand what distinguishes them from another. www.liveabout.com/navy-warrant-officer-selection-program-3355996

Please excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is a "warrant officer"?

[@ZGryphon]

In the US, warrant officers are officers who hold a warrant from the secretary of the service they belong to rather than a commission from the President. This places them above enlisted personnel, but below commissioned officers, which is historically kind of an uncomfortable place to be, socially. They tend to be specialists in very particular technical fields (pilots, for instance), who need to have command authority over enlisted subordinates, but don't have the kind of leadership training and career aspirations that commissioned officers do.
