Chief Sunday is reduced in rank to "Petty Chief", which does not exist. He would most likely be "Chief Petty Officer." All ranks of Chief are classified as "petty officers." The lower grades are "third class petty officer" (E-4), "second class petty officer" (E-5) and "first class petty officer" (E-6), then "Chief" (E-7), "Senior Chief (E-8), and "Master Chief" (E-9). A one step reduction in rank would make him a "Senior Chief," but the latter two ranks did not exist before 1958. The senior Master Chief at a command is the Command Master Chief. On a submarine he is called "Chief of the Boat." The rank requires special training.
