A division is a group of men on a ship. They are usually divided by job duties, such as supply, or communications, electrical or navigation. The officer that commands that group is their division officer. It is usually an Ensign, LTJG or LT.

What is a Navy LPO?

In the Navy, the term "LPO" stands for "Leading Petty Officer". While it can and often is a Chief Petty Officer, it is typically associated with a First Class or lower ranking Petty Officer. Chiefs who are Leads are termed "LCPO's".LPO denotes the senior supervising PO of a group or division on board a ship or at a shore installation. It can be a senior or junior PO - the only requirement is that he / she is officially designated as the supervising PO.For example, unlike a ship, a submarine does not have a dedicated division which takes care of hull maintenance (e.g., First Division). Deck Division on a submarine is comprised of usually junior crewmen from different divisions (non-nukes). The PO in charge is titled "Deck Division LPO" (a title I once held myself). In my case, I was the LPO for Deck Division in port, but underway, I reverted to a position as a Senior Petty Officer in Sonar Division, but since I was not the most senior or the designated Division Supervisor for Sonar, I was not the Sonar LPO.
