What do these terms mean? Surely they should be defined, but online I can find no references other than other copies of this table. Were they old terms one could assume they were racist designations, but the article does not indicate that they have been superseded since 1964, and it is unlikely racist terminology would have continued to the present day.

I have my grandfather's old "continuous certificate of discharge" book, from 1912-1914, and am trying to make sense of the Ratings from his voyages. It would be helpful knowing what abbreviations were used and what jobs were sometimes combined. From the book I have, I can tell you that "Fireman and Trimmer" was sometimes given in combination, and in one case Fireman was shortened to "Fman." One rating appears to be "Do." which my only guess for would have to be "Donkeyman". --Ericjs (talk) 18:00, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
