Question:
- Why is it important to know and understand the history of the Chief petty Officer Rating?
In the United States Navy, the title "Chief Petty Officer" carries with it responsibilities and privileges no other armed force in the world grants enlisted people. These responsibilities and privileges exist because for 100 years, Chiefs have routinely sought out greater challenges and assumed more responsibility.
The example set by Chiefs for the last century inspires our young men and women of today. Indeed what Americans see in our impressive young Sailors is the tradition of devotion and dedication the first Chiefs established with their sacrifices and valor.

Navy blue and gold are the traditional colors of the United States
Navy blue and gold are the traditional colors of the United States Navy. The mine in the center of the shield represents the mine countermeasures mission of the CHIEF, while the crossed officer's sword and enlisted cutlass symbolize surface warfare excellence. The fouled navy anchor, insignia of a Chief Petty Officer, is further symbolic of the United States Navy's leadership. The three silver stars above the fouled anchor depict the leadership and service of the Master Chief Petty Officers of the Navy (MCPON) - past, present, and future, and honor the ship's sponsor. The stars are also arranged in the same manner about the anchor as the International Navigational Symbol for lights and shapes about the mast; signifying a vessel engaged in mine clearance operations.

There are 84 links in the fouled anchor chain, one for each Plankowner and the ship's Sponsor and Matron of Honor. The trident atop the crest denotes sea power. The blue and white surface from which it rises represents both the sea upon which the ship will serve, and the waters of Sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan, upon which the ship was born. Surrounding the trident are seven stars representing the seven Battle Stars won during the Second World War and the Korean War by the first ship to bear the name CHIEF, USS CHIEF AM-315. The five above the trident are for World War Two, and the two alongside for the Korean War. Ships Motto: "HONOR, TRADITION, VALOR

Civilians don't understand. You go down to Long Beach, and you see those battleships sitting there, and you think that they float on the water, don't you?""You are wrong, they are carried to sea on the backs of those Chief Petty Officers
