    The Navy had a Commodore but it was changed to Rear Admiral Lower Half because the term Commodore seemed prestigious and the upper officers didn't like that. By calling Rear Admiral Lower Half, it put them in their place.

    Interesting. According to information that I have received, President Carter's TOS officially started in 1946, and he was at Annapolis during WW2. I also recall E1 were single stripes, with promotion to at least E2 upon graduation from Basic Training, aka Boot Camp. Of course, some of this was ages ago, too.

    Here's a bit of trivia. It's my understanding that Marine Corps Staff Sgts. generally don't like serving on Navy ships. This is because in the Marine Corps, an E-6 is a staff NCO and gets certain privileges like better housing. But onboard a Navy ship, and E-6 is just a Petty Officer 1st Class and not a staff NCO so they don't get the same special privileges as they would on a Marine Base.

However, the video missed the mark for warrant and commissioned officers as what was referred to as "ranks" are actually "grades."

      If you're asking for a video featuring USN Rates and videos for Ranks of other Forces in the USM and other militaries, there are videos up, but if you were trying to say that the USN calls Ranks "Rates", they don't. Ranks are ranks still, but Rates are MOS, like ITS (Information Technician - Submarines), FC (Fire Control/Command), MM (Machinist's Mate), BM (Boatswain's Mate). You can still ask a sailor "What's your MOS" and they'll understand, but Sailors would ask each other "Yo, what Rate are you?" or even go around that and ask "What's your A-School? / What A-School did you attend?".

Seaman, Airman Apprentice, and Petty Officer 2nd Class are "rates". Electrician's Mate, Machinist's Mate, Electronics Technician are all "ratings".

      Commodore is now a title for people in command of a squadron. We also use captain as a title as well. I was part of submarine squadron 6. The commander of that squadron at the time was a Captain. We called him "commodore". The commander of my submarine held the rank of Commander. It's customary to call him captain.

      We might want to refer to John Paul Jones as to the beginning of The U.S. Marines. A😮 Sailors job is to run the ship all the time. A few select sailors were reserved in battle to handle the cannons. The Marines were required for battle on deck when confronting enemy fighters from an enemy ship. Mostly hand to hand combat. While the sailors ran the ship. The U.S. Marines aboard Sailing Ships were a very tough lot. They had to be stone cold killers. When John Paul Jones commanded the U.S. Navy. He did so as a decorated Ships Captain and as a fleet admiral. Admiral Jones knew shipboard combat intimately. Fighting aboard a ship is primarily hand to hand. The rifles and pistols at the time were flint lock firearms. That required a lengthy process to reload. Thus making it impossible to reload in hand to hand combat which was conducted with swords, knives and blunt devices. So you see a wooden sailing that's a ship of a military purpose had to have dedicated fighting men. Every ship of this era had these dedicated fighting men on board their ships. Including the VOC The Dutch East Indias Trading company which had its own standing Military incorporated into its Trading Ships. The Dutch were so good at defending themselves. They even took on the British Navy twice and defeated them. John Paul Jones studied the Dutch VOC.
      The US Navy is a good study. Well worth a persuit. The U.S. Marines still maintain tge8rvrelationship with the Navy. But since WWII Theri mission has changed to a Seaborn Army.
