In the Grayson Space Navy, they are referred to as a "Senior Master Chief Warrant Officer" (abbrev: SMCWO) It holds the equivalent military paygrade of W-5 within The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc. and has achieved a wealth of technical and leadership experience, allowing them to work closely with, and fully understand, the requirements of enlisted technicians in their charge. A warrant officer is referred to by their rank, also by their rate, but by officers is referred to as "Mr" or "Ms". So a Steward who earned their crown would be called "Mr," but also "Chief," or "Kitchen Officer."

In peacetime, a Master Senior Chief Warrant Officer would have served at least 21 years of enlisted service, and served as a Senior Chief Warrant Officer for 3 years. Since they hold a Monarch's Warrant, they are not commissioned.[1] They would be the equivalent of a Commander.[2]
