As per official US Navy documents, the answer is that no "first chief petty officer" exists. Nearly all personnel rated as petty officers first class since at least 1885 were automatically promoted to chief petty officer in 1893. These promotions occurred simultaneously, making the first chief petty officer impossible to determine.

How many African American master chief petty officer's in the navy?

You might visit the navy recruiters office and see if he can access Navy Personnel for that info. I retired over twenty years ago and we had several African-American chief petty officers when I was in. I couldn't give you a percentage because I didn't pay much attention to the someone's color or race. I was far more interested in the kind of shipmate a person was. Of those Cheif Petty Officers I know of three that made E-8 and one that made E-9 (Master Chief). Just making Master Chief is pretty rare and quite an accomplishment.


In 1958 the career compensation act of 1949 was amended. The navy created the senior chief and master chief petty officer pay grades for what reason?

The amendments to the Career Compensation Act of 1949 in 1958 were made to enhance the enlisted ranks within the Navy, specifically by introducing the senior chief and master chief petty officer pay grades. This change aimed to improve retention and morale among enlisted personnel by providing greater recognition and compensation for their experience and leadership. It also sought to establish a clearer hierarchy and promote professionalism within the Navy's enlisted ranks.


Who was the youngest senior chief petty officer?

Technically, there was none. Navy General Order 409 established the Chief Petty Officer rate (enlisted rank) for 9 of the then 12 Navy ratings (job titles) on 25 February 1893. All personnel who were P.O. First Class in those 9 rates were either automatically advanced to Chief, or were able to be promoted to Chief as of 1 April 1893, the day the order went into effect. Thus a large number of Navy personnel made Chief simultaneously, and there was no single Chief before any other. There is, however, one Jacob Wasbie who served aboard the USS Alfred with John Paul Jones, whose official job title changed from Cook's Mate to Chief Cook on 1 June 1776, before the concept of petty officers was formalized. This is the first recorded use of the word "Chief" being used in a job title in the US Navy. Check out the excellent article below by CWO-4 Lester B. Tucker, USN (Retired), which is where I got this information for a recent lookup assignment: http://www.history.navy.mil/faq/faq46-1.htm
