NOTE a.-Vacancies for Chief Petty Officer, Chief Yeoman of Signals, Chief Petty Officer Telegraphist. and Chief Stoker due to death, desertion, or other cause of final discharge from the Service, i.e., those vacancies which involve the reduction of a Chief Petty Officer in the total numbers borne in the Royal Navy, are to be filled by the Commanding Officer of the Ship or Establishment in which the vacancy; occurs, provided that a suitable candidate qualified for advancement is serving on board. If there is no one available in the Ship or Establishment the Commander-in-Chief or Senior Officer is to select a candidate from the Fleet or Squadron under his command. If no suitable qualified man is available from this source, application is to be made for the vacancy to be filled from the Port to which the Ship is attached for manning purposes.

Invaliding or other Station vacancies for Chief Petty Officer and Chief Yeoman of Signals only, are to be filled in the same way on all Foreign Stations except. the Mediterranean. In the case of all other invaliding or Station vacancies, men may be appointed to carry on the duties of C.P.O., but. instead of receiving an Acting Rating they are to be given difference of pay under Art. 1432.

Promotions to Chief Petty Officer, Chief Yeoman of Signals, Chief Petty Officer Telegraphist, and Chief Stoker to complete Port Division numbers are made by the Commodore of the Depot from a roster of men recommended for advancement. Candidates for Chief Petty Officer, Chief Yeoman, Chief Petty Officer Telegraphist, or Chief Stoker are not to be put on this roster until they have the required qualifying service, notwithstanding that Yeomen may have previously passed the prescribed examinations for Chief Yeoman. The roster is to be kept complete by Return S. 507. Promotion is made by seniority tempered by selection, irrespective of non-substantive qualifications. In special cases of meritorious service, promotion may be made in excess of the numbers allowed, the promotion being absorbed in the next vacancy. Men promoted in Port Division vacancies when serving abroad are to be sent home by first opportunity.

Signal ratings who, prior to the enforcement of these regulations, have passed the examination for Signal Boatswain or Signal Instructor, are to be considered as having passed for Chief Yeoman under the new conditions.
