The Captain, or Commanding Officer, or "CO" is obviously #1, and the Executive Officer or "XO" is 2nd in command. After that it's the Chief Engineering Officer or "Chang". Then the Weapons Officer or "Weps", is fourth. Then it goes to the leading enlisted person....the Master Chief of the Command.

"First Mate" is a non-military term referring to the person usually in charge of the deck operations aboard commercial liners and merchant marines, and is often 2nd in command. Also known as the "Chief Mate".
