You said that" The term "Master Mariner" is an industry term, not a
USCG term".

Are you calling the Merchant Marines an industrial company ?

And your still full of ****. You can still get an " Operators "
licences. I have a 100 ton Ocean operators before I sat for my Masters.


And a Masters License can be limited. Mine is.

I would guess Masters' is an equal to the time and effort spent to get
a masters degree at the USMM academy.


Your term Master Mariner is a Lubbery term used by wannabes that do not
understand anything about the term Master and it's proper use.

Popeye was a master mariner, and you can call your yacht buddy that
conned you into it a "Master Mariner" just like Bobspirt calls himself
Capt.

But the only ones that matter.. are the rankings that the USMM / USCG
sets down as a standard to rank the abilities of professionals legally
found fit to be hired to accomplish the required task.
