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?
Seeing as how CPO's didn't exist until 1893... at the closing point of the age of sail, it is highly unlikely the term 'goat locker' was due to a goat being kept in the Chief's mess on sailing ships... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Macboots ( talk • contribs) 23:37, 30 April 2007 (UTC).
