Chief Petty Officer, 1st Class --> Warrant Officer, Class I
Chief Petty Officer, 2nd Class --> Warrant Officer, Class II
Petty Officer, 1st Class --> Chief Petty Officer
Petty Officer, 2nd Class --> Petty Officer
Having said all that - even before that there was no _visible_ distinction between the two classes of Chief Petty Officer and Petty Officer.
