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".

What customs and courtesies should be observed on an US Navy ship Quarterdeck?
A Navy Ships Quarterdeck is considered a ceremonial area and should be treated as such. No skylarking or loitering is allowed. The Officer of the Deck has complete responsibility and authority on the Quarterdeck and should never be challenged. On approach from the ships brow to the quarterdeck one must turn and face the flag (aft) or salute the flag if military and covered. One must then turn and show ID and salute the Officer Of the Deck and ask their permission to come aboard (enlisted) or state that they have permission to come aboard (officers). When leaving the ship it is done in the reverse order and one asks permission to go ashore (enlisted) or states that they have permission to go ashore (officer). Hats or headgear are not allowed on the quarterdeck unless they are part of the wearers uniform. The Quarterdeck should not be used as a passage from one part of the ship to another. If it is necessary to do so permission from the Officer of the Deck must be requested and granted.
Do you salute officers while crossing the ships brow?
If it is a commissioned U. S. Navy vessel and you are in uniform, at the top of the brow come to attention, face the Ensign (flag) located at the fantail or aft end of the ship and salute the Ensign. Then face and salute the Officer of the Deck on the Quarterdeck and "Request permission to come aboard Sir". If you are in civilian attire, at the top of the brow come to attention, face the Ensign (flag) located on the fantail or aft end of the ship. Then face the Office of the Deck on the Quarterdeck and "Request permission to come aboard Sir". I don't think civilian vessels stand on ceremony very much.
When do you call attention on deck for officers?
On deck or outdoors, "Attention on Deck" is generally called by whoever sees the officer first if the assembly of personnel present isn't generally aware of the officers' approach, or if the officer appears suddenly from inside a building, when that officer is within saluting range or near saluting range of the nearest junior person present. If indoors or aboard ship, it's called when the officer enters the space if the protocol is required. At a formal unit assembly, the command will generally be given by the Senior Enlisted present or Senior Officer - it depends on who's present at the time and what the unit regulations are. For Quarterdecks, the Quarterdeck Watch (or Topside Watch on a Submarine) will call AoD when the officer comes into saluting range. For Flag Officers (including the CO), the watch will ring the ship's bell an announce their arrival over the ship's 1MC circuit (General Announcement). In other words - outdoors and on deck, it's never a sure thing, but for most units it's when the officer is within saluting range of the nearest junior member to that officer. Indoors, it's easy, as it's always when the officer enters the room. Each unit/command usually has its own instructions for Naval protocol - this includes Marine Corps Commands, as they are a part of the Navy and use Navy terminology as well as their own.
