Talk:Chief mate
Template:WikiProject Maritime Trades
De-stubbed
I rewrote this article, promoted it to start-class, and lowered the importance from high to mid. Haus42 17:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Great job in the re-write! One comment though... instead of describing each stability concept why not just link to (or create) a separate stability page and leave this one just about what a C/M does not how he does it? The VTS section is also too long. Just a suggestion. Gcaptain 01:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Question on terminology: Back at mid-century I served an Air Force enlistment with several men who had been merchant seamen, and they said that the chief engineer is the First Officer, and the first mate is the Second Officer and subordinate to the First Officer if the Captain is unable to serve. Were they wrong, or has law and terminology changed?
Moved stability section to Stability conditions (watercraft)
Ok my move was labeled vandalism and removed by Rich257. I guess I'll have to create an account and upload a picture of my chief Mate license to show that I'm not vandalizing the site. The reason I moved it is because their is way too much information and when my people I meet look up my job they are totally confused. They do not need to know the definition of traverse stability they only need to know what a chief mate is.
I agree with you and will attempt to delete the redundant info, hopefully it will work. --Gcaptain 03:25, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
