@Sailor Steve: Cool, thanks for the info.

Is the term "NCO" used in naval terminology at all, or is it strictly "Petty Officer" for the equivalent ranks?

'Non-Commissioned Offier' is in the books, but never used. Actually they are almost never called 'Petty Officers' either, at least in the US navy. They are always referred to by their rating, or just by their last name.
