Royal Canadian Navy to replace ‘seaman’ in rank titles with gender-neutral term

I can see it now. It will not be long before someone gets wind of this in New Zealand and we too will change. Click HERE to read the Canadian experience. Give me strength!!

    Some of the terms that have disappeared or are disappearing from the RNZN:

    Seaman (as a rank/trade)
    Gunner
    Signalman
    Radio Operator
    Electronic Warfare (as a rank – AEW/LEW etc)
    SA
    Paymaster

    And I’m sure there are others I’ve missed. Point is – the Navy’s not what it used to be – and it never was.
