In 1853 my 2xgt grandfather was employed by the Indian Navy as a 1st Class Engineer. Can anyone tell me what a 1st Class Enginner is please? By 1859 he was a Chief Engineer. |

If you are talking military navy 1st Class Engineer in the Indian Navy simply means a qualified engineer in other words fully qualified, First class does not mean that he was anything other than what we would know as an AB (Able Bodied ) today. From First Class Engineer he would have progressed to Leading Engineer, then to Petty Officer before reaching Chief |

I was under the impression that a 1st class engineer was from a qualification obtained by passing certain tests as to his competancy. |
