The Legacy Behind the Anchors
On April 1, 1893, the United States Navy created the Chief Petty Officer grade — establishing the nine original ratings that would become the foundation of naval leadership for over 130 years. You are part of that unbroken chain of excellence.
Original Nine Ratings (1893): Chief Master-at-Arms · Chief Boatswain's Mate · Chief Quartermaster · Chief Gunner's Mate · Chief Machinist · Chief Carpenter's Mate · Chief Yeoman · Apothecary · Band Master
Once a Chief, Always a Chief
Retirement doesn't end the title — it honors it. The CPO values you lived by — Integrity, Accountability, Initiative, and Toughness — don't clock out. Whether you're heading to a Chief's Mess reunion, a veterans ceremony, or just a Saturday morning coffee, wear your anchors with the pride they deserve.
Perfect for retired CPOs of all ratings and eras, Chief's Mess gatherings, veterans events, and as a meaningful gift for a Chief transitioning to civilian life.
