WARRANT OFFICER OF THE NAVAL SERVICE

Warrant Officer 1 Steve Cass RN

WO1 Cass is an Air Engineering Technician with over 27 years service which includes numerous front line tours with Sea King and Merlin Squadrons. Entering the RN as an Air Engineering Mechanic Second Class in 1986 he spent much of his early career serving with 820 Sqn onboard HMS Ark Royal and RFA vessels during operational service east of the Suez. He was selected for Apprentice Qualifying Course which commenced in 1991 and gained his certificate of competence to supervise aircraft maintenance in 1994. Whilst serving on the Merlin Intensive Flying Trials Unit in 2000 WO Cass was called upon to assist the Marine Salvage and Accident Investigation Units with the post crash management of a Merlin that ditched into the Kyle of Lochalsh. Promoted from CPO to WO2 in 2005 he became the Senior Maintenance Rating on 700M Operational Evaluation Unit and was involved with numerous trials embarked and ashore for the Merlin MK1 Development Programme. Deployments on a variety of RFA ships for several NATO and UK ASW exercises as well as HMS Ocean for APT(N) followed prior to the Squadron disbanding in 2008. As the Senior Maintenance Instructor at the Merlin Training Facility he oversaw the delivery of technical training to over 1000 students per annum and this busy appointment culminated with promotion to WO1 in 2009. He spent 5 months as the Explosive Storage Area Manager and was also responsible for the Station Aircraft Weighing Team and Non Destructive Testing Section in support of all aircraft types based at Culdrose. In October 2009 he worked for two years from Augusta Westlands Yeovil as the Structural Integrity Engineering Authority for Merlin MK1, 3 and 3A. This demanding role saw his Safety and Airworthiness Letter of Authority used to provide technical support and policy direction, particularly regarding vibration, corrosion and structural integrity, to RN and RAF Squadrons and Flights operating in Afghanistan and elsewhere around the globe. Returning to Culdrose in 2011 in an Executive role he spent two hugely enjoyable years as Base Warrant Officer and President of the WO and SR Mess. Following completion of the Higher WO Staff Course at JSCSC Shrivenham in December 2012 he was interviewed by the Fleet Commander and Second Sea Lord, and finally by the First Sea Lord to gain selection for the prestigious position of Warrant Officer of the Naval Service which formally commenced in December 2013. WO1 Cass is a proud Cornishman who is married to Alison who is an equally proud Yorkshire woman. They have three daughters aged 20, 16 and 9. When ‘off watch’ he enjoys walking their energetic spaniel, pilot gig rowing and working with local schools to support children of Service personnel who are deployed.

Responsibilities As the primus inter pares of the Naval Services’ (NS) senior Warrant Officers, the WONS primary responsibility is to act as a conduit between the non-commissioned ranks and NS senior officers. WONS ensures that senior officer intent is understood and that comprehensive, honest feedback is provided upwards. In order to facilitate this role, WONS sits in attendance at the Navy Board as an observer, which also sends a strong message to the NS and the wider Defence, national and international community, that the opinions and concerns of the Ratings Corps and Other Ranks are listened to and valued by the most senior officers in our Service. Additionally, WONS provides the NS with a powerful voice that is able to represent Ratings and Other Ranks on a number of other highly influential bodies and, alongside the Army RSM and the Chief of the Air Staff’s Warrant Officer (CASWO), has regular face –to-face access to some of the most senior Defence leaders, including CDS and CDP.
