Navy Ranks... from Warrant Officer

Be aware that while the basics are the same, some STSF ships have ranks with different meanings than here. For example, on Agincourt, Private is the lowest officer rank, whereas in reality, it's the lowest enlisted rank. Some STSF ships also have more or fewer intermediate ranks. Usually the differences are in how many different lieutenant ranks there are.

 

I'm also not sure that you could differentiate all those ranks on Star Trek. I think the chain of command was quite a bit simplified on the show.

Obviously it is purely defensive. They hide well.

In actuallity, spaceflight, and space combat more closely resembles naval sailing or naval combat. The main difference being that space flght/combat takes place in a full 3D plane.

Yeah we have a army. And I know, even we say that sometimes. Stupid liberal government killed our military. :D Luckily we starting to rebuilt it and improve it. But that still doesn't wave out the fact of Jean Chretien being an idiot by doing bad stuff to the military :)

What is a warrant officer?

Answer

[Dumbass 0]

As you can tell from the answer, there is no single answer that can describe Warrant Officers in all situations. In the US Army you can apply for Warrant Officer School at pay grade E4-E6 and after that it is too late. In the US Navy you can't apply until you are at least an E7 (often taking a cut in pay in the process even though you achieved a higher rank).

 

For purposes of Star Trek, however, you can think of Warrant Officers as someone like Chief O'Brien - someone who, because of their experience and technical expertise, is somewhere between enlisted and commissioned officer.

in the real world simply put......wo is a specialist ranking..still an officers rank empowered by the office of the president....unlike general officers whom graduate

through ocs or other schools...and are for all intents and purposes a speciality rank

 

in the army for example most wos are fwo (flight)wo....however are not locked into

flight ops only it is still an officers rank with all honors and powers bestowed on gen

officers, except they operate in a specialaty capicity only...not like a gen officer.and

the rank is not assigned/awarded through congress.......the wo rank is given from

the president , hope this helps ....and doesn,t confuse the issue any. :D

CAn someone say what ealge just said but make it sound like it makes sence? :D

sorry........tried to keep it simple...and still get the message across...unsucessfuly

apparently.....oh welllll...... :) B) :wub:

 

 

non commissioned (nco) are promoted up thru the gen ranks by superiors..and are not commissioned thru congress....a comissioned officer canidate must go thru ocs,naval

academy,west point etc. and sucessfully graduate to be considered for an award of

comissioned officer.....unless battle field promotion is given, but must attend ocs at

least when plausable ...for obvious reasons (war over) to retain the rank permantley

 

a comissioned officer also signs on for a six year minimum commitment , where as

a non comm. after meeting his/her min. enlistment obligation can receive a discharge

with no futher commitment: example:sgt. e-5 within 2 yrs. may after the three yr. obligation go back to civvy life , a comissioned officer must commit to a min. of 6 yrs

then RESIGN said commission if need be...other things involved in the system...this is just the skinny on it.. :)

Honestly, no, because the regulations Eagle is paraphrasing don't make a lot of sense either. Warrant Officers receive their offices from the Department of the President. Even though Commissioned Officers receive their offices from, for example, the Department of the Army (which reports to the Office of the President) the office is of higher rank.

 

The difference between noncommissioned officers and commissioned officers, however, is simpler. Commissioned officers start at Ensign or Lieutenant and outrank the noncommissioned officers who are Corporals, Sergeants, Petty Officers, etc. In most cases you need a Bachelors degree to become a Commissioned Officer while Noncommissioned Officers do not.

 

But this reminds me of a joke:

 

Q: What is the difference between an O-1 and an E-2?

 

A: An E-2 has been promoted. :)

not going to argue the point..if any want more specific information ...type warrant

officer or comissioned officer into your browser, it will take you to a website

supported by DOD (dept. of defence) and read the thorough and complete

definitions, requirments for said ranks.........thank you.... :)

So for instance, Captain Sisko could make Odo a Warrant Officer in Starfleet Security with the rank of Commander if the circumstances "warranted" it? Let's just assume Odo has the technical experience necessary would he also get the 3 black pips on his uniform? If and when Captain Sisko were to do this, all the NCO's would have to obey Odo, but would all the regular starfleet officers below the Commander's rank also have to obey him?

With in the Security Department, yes.

[WesleyMustDie 0]

Thank you Seiben and Corizon :blink:

 

So what is this....?

 

5 pips? No idea. 4 is a Master Warrant Officer.

[Dumbass 0]

Well first of all we are talking about hypothetical future hierarchies, so modern-day hierarchies will only take us so far.

 

However, based on Janeway making Chakotay and B'elana acting Starfleet officers (and Chakotay an acting Commander) it seems logical that Sisko would have similar authority. However, the circumstances didn't require Odo to be in Starfleet to serve as Chief of Security. Sisko simply said to everyone "Odo is Security Chief. Everyone obey him." and that was it. No Starfleet rank or uniform required.

Hey there,

 

Technically, that's nothing. You need to keep in mind that quite a few rank "pips" found online were never/have never been actually seen on Star Trek itself. Furthermore, I know that some sims "graphically" represent some of the "non-standard" ranks differently.

 

Only examples I can give you off hand would be to check the USS Reaent website and the Sky Harbor Aegis website.

 

In addition, remember that "rank" often has nothing to do with the actual chain of command. One's rank may be low, but their position might place them higher on the table of organization than others.

I just watched the ten year tribute movie again *sniff* got all teary...

 

 

That and I wondered how long Zorn would have to wait to see his name!

 

Yeah, rank means nothing when it comes to inter-departmental matters, whoever is the chief is the boss regardless of rank.
