William Harrison - merchant navy officer - was born in 1812.
It is a misleading question. Richard Harrison was an enlisted member of the Navy. Enlisted personnel do not have "rank" in the Navy. I think they mean "rate". Then the answer would be Petty Officer First Class.Your answer is not totally correct, rank is from E-1 to E-9. At E4 an enlisted man at in the Navy must have both both a rank and a rate. The rate refers to the specialty of the individual. Accordingly, you are correct that he was a Petty Office First Class. However I like to know was his official rate as PO1?Below, is info from a U.S. Navy page that might clear up the issue of "rate", "rank" and "rating." His "rate" (pay grade) was E-6 or PO1. I believe you want to know what his "rating" was. He was a DK. "The use of the word "rank" for Navy enlisted personnel is incorrect. The term is "rate." The rating badge is a combination of rate (pay grade, as indicated by the chevrons) and rating (occupational specialty, as indicated by the symbol just above the chevrons)."The insignia here represents a Petty Officer First Class (the rate) who is a Boatswain's Mate (the rating). A rating badge is worn on the left upper sleeve of all uniforms in grades E-4 through E-6. Chief Petty Officers (E-7 through E-9) wear collar devices on their white and khaki uniforms, and rating badges on their Service Dress Blues."(See related Link)All that has been done is that we both agree that he was a 1st class petty officer, E6. Now what was his rate?
