  5. Need to rethink your position on what an Oiler does. The oiler is senior only to a wiper. They typically are a watchstander assisting the 3rd A/E OR 2ND A/E on watch. They do NOT perform navigational and anchor watches. A lot of very inaccurate information provided here. Yes, I sailed for 33-1/2 years 25 of those as C/E
