The earliest form of U.S. Navy enlisted ratings may be traced to the Petty Officers assigned as assistants to the shipboard warrant officers. The oldest such rating, still in use today, is that of Boatswain's Mate. The rating of Armourer was also in use as an assistant to the Gunner, as was the rating of Carpenter's Mate for members of the Ship's Carpenter's Crew. Informally, the shipboard title of Yeoman was also frequently used, even though this would not be an official rating of the United States Navy until 1835.
