"The Jimmy" is a colloquial term used in the Royal Navy to refer to the Chief Petty Officer or the senior ratings who are responsible for various aspects of ship operations and crew welfare. It is derived from the nickname for the Royal Navy’s official mascot, a goat named "The Jimmy," which symbolizes the spirit and traditions of the service. The title reflects the respect and camaraderie among sailors, as well as the leadership role that these senior personnel play on board.
