What was up having an overweight dude in a rank that doesn't exist in the Navy? Hondo was grossly overweight and was billed as a Warrant Officer 1, a rank that the Navy doesn't have. So many details wrong with that character.
shareHe was a Chief Warrant Officer 4, this rank still exists in the Navy.
According to the cast list on IMDB, he is a "Wo.1". No matter how you decipher "Wo.1," there's no 4 in it.
Well, the cast list on IMDB is wrong. I remember the credits rolling at the end and it specifically listed Coleman as a CWO 4. Plus, I noticed his rank insignia in the movie is yep, CWO 4 insignia.
