Coxswain United States Navy

-----------------------------
COX is the abbreviation for Coxswain. The individual would be an E-4 Boatswain's Mate. Today we would call that a Boatswain's Mate Third Class (BM3). In today's Navy the term is used to refer to any individual running a small boat or landing craft and doesn't refer to a rank or a rating.
