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)


 * This meanss as "First Mate" as well. Interestingly, 航海士 alone means "Navigator". Now the question is, which term is used in the japanese manga? El Chupacabra 16:26, March 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * It wasn’t a question. Tipota 12:01, March 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * This is the same as in the manga: Rayleigh as a slave.jpg


 * Any help? One-Winged Hawk 17:41, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

On chapter 500 and databooks it used the 副船長. Tipota 12:01, March 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Stick to that then. :-) One-Winged Hawk 13:07, March 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Then it's 副船長. Should I add this to the article? El Chupacabra 18:11, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
