Talk:First Mate

Note
It would be helpful if we got the Japanese translation up here on what "First Mate" is etc, on all these job pages, its harder to supply evidence elsewhere otherwise. One-Winged Hawk 14:14, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

It would be helpful if we got the proper English translation for the Japanese word 副船長, Fuku Senchō which is Vice-Captain. Tipota 10:42, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * According to dictionaries 副 can mean "deputy", "auxillary", "secondary" etc. A 副船長, Fuku Senchō is therefore the second-in command, the one who replaces the captain (船長, Senchō) when the latter is abscent. In english, this position is called Chief/First Mate/Officer in civilian and XO (Executive offivcer) on military ships. El Chupacabra 14:11, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * And I always wondering what exactly 一等航海士 means. Tipota 16:37, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
