(1) The designation of a contact with a “master number” to coordinate multiple sources of information. Sonar contacts are numbered with a “sierra number” such as sierra one five, the fifteenth sonar contact of the day. Visual contacts are numbered with “victor numbers” such as victor seven, the seventh visual contact of the day. Radar contacts are similarly given “romeo numbers.” To avoid confusion, the OOD will “designate” a particular contact of interest as with a master number such as master one. If master one is being approached with the intent of shooting him, he may be given a target number. Some ships don't elevate master numbers to target numbers but simply shoot at the master contact. (2) What you call a master chief petty officer. They love it, particularly when the XO gives them an order such as, “Master, assemble the crew on the pier.” Doesn't sound like an order, but more like talking to a genie.
The master was the senior warrant officer on board with a rank approximately equivalent to a lieutenant. He had specific responsibility for navigation, taking ship's position daily and setting the sails as appropriate for the required course. Masters, who were usually reasonably educated, possessed a master's ticket having been professionally examined by Trinity House. They were able to stand watches and command smaller rated ships in non-combatant duties. Cook commanded the Grenville with the rank of master. Other duties on board ship included supervision of the midshipmen and mates, taking observations of the sun and maintaining the ship's compass. He was also responsible for ensuring the maintenance of the rope rigging and sails, stowing of the hold, and inspecting provisions. As such they were one of the most important people on board.
