The Yeoman Rate — Since 1794
The Yeoman rate is one of the oldest in the United States Navy, established in 1794. Originally responsible for maintaining storerooms for the ship's gunners, carpenters, and boatswains, the rate evolved alongside the Navy itself. Today, Navy Yeomen are the administrative professionals who manage personnel records, process official correspondence, prepare fitness reports and evaluations, handle security clearances, and ensure that the administrative infrastructure of the fleet operates without fail.
YN personnel serve aboard ships, at shore installations, fleet headquarters, and operational commands worldwide. They are the specialists who ensure that orders are cut correctly, service records are accurate, and the paperwork that enables naval operations flows with the same discipline as any tactical mission.
Masters of Naval Administration
To wear the Yeoman rate is to carry a standard of precision, professionalism, and institutional knowledge. Yeomen master Navy correspondence formats, personnel administration systems, records management, and military protocol. They prepare briefing materials for commanding officers, process awards and commendations, manage personnel transfers, and serve as the administrative experts that every command depends on.
Whether you served as a YN, are honoring a Yeoman in your family, or simply respect the rate that has kept the fleet running for over two centuries — this apparel is built for you.
