RM/EM Ambiguity Note
Three men show apparent cross-branch promotions from RM (Radioman) to CEM (Chief Electrician’s Mate) between the two quarters: CALVER, CLARK (Arthur), and STEGALL. This is almost certainly a consistent E/R misread on the September 1942 muster. All three were likely EM ratings throughout, with their September rates being EM2c, EM1c, and EM1c respectively — making their March promotions (EM1c, CEM(AA), CEM(A)) standard progressions within the electrical branch.
Steward’s Branch (plain text — no ship links)
September 1942: RAPIER (410-65-16 , Matt1c), ROYAL (356-31-31 , Matt1c)
March 1943: MULAT (633-80-57 , Matt2c — from flag allowance), ROYAL (356-31-31 , OS3c — rate redesignation from Matt1c)
ROYAL’s change from Matt1c to OS3c likely reflects the 1942–43 reorganization of steward’s branch rate designations rather than an actual demotion. RAPIER departed between quarters.
