When and why did the US Navy discontinue the rank Warrant Officer 1?

∙ 12y ago
The rank of Warrant Officer 1 (WO1 (W1) was discontinued by the Navy in 1975. The reason was that senior enlisted personnel would actually lose money on their payscale when promoted to WO1, leaving not much of an incentive to advance to the CWO ranks.
The Navy now commissions all its CWO beginning with CWO2, and the pay scales have also caught up so that when retiring, it's more than your prior senior enlisted pay would've been.
