[QUOTE]Originally posted by Darkwing: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [qb] contrary to the reference, i was under the impression that the rank Seaman or Able Seaman was just referred to as 'Crewman' (with 'Able Crewman' possibly being the longform) in Trek.. Simon Tarses was referred to as Crewman, and I even think I caught a 'Crewman First (or Second) Class' in VGR somewhere.. "Good Shepard" or "Equinox" (although the latter might have just been in the novelization, my memory of the actuall episodes == muy hazy). [/qb][/QUOTE]Able Seaman is a Merchant Marine rank, indicating a sailor with some skills, as opposed to an Ordinary Seaman. Seaman, Seaman Apprentice, and Seaman Recruit are the comparable US Navy ranks. In comparison, an Able Spacer ought to be a junior civilian space-crew member, and a Spacer would be a junior military crewmember, although Paramount seems to prefer Crewman for the equivalent of a Seaman, and, based on Tarses' first-class comment, perhaps also for petty officers. Then, too, back in WWII, an E-3 was a Seamn first-class, so maybe not. [/QB][/QUOTE]
