I am interested in the history, and origins of the "Chiefs Mess". On what ship was it found necessary to create an area

stictly for the CPO. How did come to be that "all" shall remove cover and knock prior to entry, including officers?

Well, I am not sure of the history, but as a serving Navy officer, I think the general sentiment is that Chiefs are deserving of their own space...to be respected by all and sundry. It is analagous to the Wardroom (although Chiefs can be members of that in certain ashore commands) or Officers' Country. It's taken seriously. When I was doing an inspection of our spaces, I had to find a Chief to take me into the Goat Locker. I couldn't just barge in, even on official business.BulldogPete 14:35, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
