"Cox" is short for the Navy term "Coxswain". Coxswains are essentially small boat pilots; the term is applied to those who pilot/steer craft anywhere in size from a small yacht to a rowing scull.
In WWII, Coxswains also piloted amphibious landing craft (e.g., Higgins Boats) during amphibious assaults in all theatres of war.
The Coxswain duty is usually performed by a Boatswain's Mate.
