Flag of the Vice Commandant of the United States Coast Guard Vice Admiral Vivien S. Crea (born 1952) was the 25th Vice Commandant of the United States Coast Guard under Admiral Thad W. Allen . Crea held the second highest position in the Coast Guard, and she is the first woman to do so.
The rate of chief petty officer is that of a senior non-commissioned officer, and was established on 1 April 1893 for the United States Navy. The United States Congress first authorized the Coast Guard to use the promotion to chief petty officer on 18 May 1920. Chief petty officer is also the final cadet rate in the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps. Prior to 1958, chief petty officer was the highest enlisted rank in both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.
