[[File:exn.png|right]]A Senior Master Chief Petty Officer or [[E-9]] is often the most senior enlisted person on any ship. They are not only very experienced in their specialty, but has achieved a command responsibility, often becoming the right-hand of the commanding officer as Ship's [[Bosun]]. A senior master chief petty officer ''is'' referred to by their rank, but also as "Bosun", and by their rate. So a [[Boatswain's Mate]] who earned their rocker and crown would be called "Chief," but also "Senior Master Chief Boatswain's Mate."
'''Senior Master Chief Petty Officer''' (''abbrev'': '''SMCPO''') is an [[enlisted]] paygrade within the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]], the [[Grayson Space Navy]], and the [[Republic of Haven Navy]].  It holds the equivalent military paygrade of [[E-10]] within {{trmn}}; this is the most senior non-billeted paygrade within the Navy, and is immediately superior to a [[Master Chief Petty Officer]].
