Job Titles

I fail to see how "land-based chief engineers responsible for all facets of asset performance in commercial, industrial, institutional and governmental buildings" as well as "commercial chief engineers with overall responsibility for the engineering projects undertaken for or by a company" are relevant to an article about seafaring professions. --121.7.208.199 (talk) 04:11, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have served 20 years in the US Navy, onboard three ship. That I am aware of, the Chief Engineer has never been refered to as "Chief" or "the Chief", as this would lead to confusion with the E-7's onboard, officialy termed Chief Petty Officer but also called "Chief" or "the Chief". The most most common nickname for Chief Engineer, and the only one I am aware of, is CHENG.

You are correct in a military context. But, as this page appears to be referring to the Chief Engineer position within a civilian merchant marine context this is the correct title. On commercial ships there really is not an equivalent position to a Chief Petty Officer and certainly not a similar position with that title.
