Second master ( ) is a military rank used in multiple Francophone navies across the world as well as a former rating in the Royal Navy. ==United Kingdom== Second master was introduced in 1753 and indicated a deputy master on third-rate ships of the line or larger. Second masters were paid significantly more than master's mates, £5 5s per month. A second master was generally a master's mate who had passed his examination for master and was deemed worthy of being master of a vessel. Second masters were given the first opportunity for master vacancies as they occurred. Master's mates also acted as second master of vessels too small to be allocated a warranted master. ==Gallery== File:Belgium-Navy-OR-5.svg| (Belgian Navy) File:Cameroon-Navy-OR-5.svg| (Cameroon Navy) File:05.DRCN-PO1.svg| (Navy of the DR Congo) File:04-ROCongo Navy-PO1.svg| (Congolese Navy) File:Djibouti-Navy-OR-5.svg| (Djiboutian Navy) File:France-Navy-OR-5 Sleeve.svg| (French Navy) File:04.GN-PO1.svg| (Gabonese Navy) File:blank.svg| (Guinean Navy) File:Ivory_Coast-Navy-OR-5.svg| (Navy of Ivory Coast) File:Mexico-Navy-OR-7.svg| (Mexican Navy) File:Senegal-Navy-OR-5.svg| (Senegalese Navy) File:blank.svg| (Togolese Navy) ==Footnotes==
