Warrant officer. A warrant officer (WO) is an officer in a military organisation who is designated an officer by a warrant, as distinguished from a commissioned officer who is designated an officer by a commission, and a non-commissioned officer who is designated an officer, often by virtue of seniority.
The term stuck even in later years when the crews of ships became members of the navy, and navy ships had sailing masters, gunners and chaplains who were called warrant officers. This tradition carried over to the U.S. Navy, which recognizes a special class of former-NCOs called chief warrant officers.
