Ordinary seaman (od)
| Морской словарь |
One not rated as able (proficient). today, the od is the humblest of a merchantman’s deck crew and may be called upon to do any task that does not require the expertise of an ab. for example, chipping and scaling paint, standing lookout, handling mooring lines, taking a trick at the wheel, cleaning the heads, or waking officers due to go on watch. thanks to “rate inflation” this rating no longer exists in the royal or u.s. navies.
