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 –toface access to some of the most senior Defence leaders, including CDS and CDP.
Chief Petty Officer First Class (CPO1) Malcolm Conlon, MMM, CD
CPO1 Conlon was originally born in England and came to Canada in 1968. Before life in the
military he grew up in Grimsby, Ontario and in 1983 under the Youth Temporary Employment
Program joined the Canadian Armed Forces as a Boatswain. After completing recruit and basic
training he spent his first year in the service on the East coast, serving onboard Her Majesty’s
Canadian Ship (HMCS) PORTE St LOUIS and HMCS PRESERVER.
In 1984 he was posted to HMCS TERRA NOVA on the West coast and on 22 July 1984 signed
on into the Regular Forces. In 1988 he was posted to HMCS PROVIDER and had the pleasure of
being one of the first foreign ships to visit Vladivostok USSR in 37 years. Shortly after joining HMCS
PROVIDER he was promoted to Master Seaman and in 1993 was promoted to Petty Officer Second
Class (PO2).
After being promoted to PO2 he was posted for the first time to Canadian Forces Fleet School
(CFFSE) Seamanship Division where he taught variety of courses as well as assisted in making new
training videos. After a short stint onboard HMCS REGINA (1996 -1997), he was posted to HMCS
VANCOUVER and promoted to Petty Officer First Class. In 2001 he was promoted to Chief Petty
Officer Second Class and stayed on as the Chief Boatswain’s Mate until September of that year.
In September of 2001 CPO1 Conlon came back to CFFSE Seamanship Division as the
Regulating Chief Petty Officer. In 2003 he was posted to HMCS WINNIPEG as the Chief Boatswain’s
Mate and in 2005 deployed to the Persian Gulf.
In 2006 his next shore posting took him to the Naval Officer Training Centre as Chief
Boatswain’s Mate where on 4 June 2007 he was promoted to CPO1 and was subsequently posted
back to CFFSE Seamanship Division as the Divisional Chief Petty Officer. On 1 April 2008 he was
appointed as the Coxswain of HMCS REGINA. On completion of his tour as Coxswain he attended
the yearlong French course during which time he was invested with the Order of Military Merit. Upon
completion of second language training he was posted AJAG Pacific as the Liaison Chief.
On 18 June 2014 he was appointed to his current positions as Fleet Chief Atlantic.
