[BITList] Cat D11R

Colin
remember when we were signing on the Nuddea in Hull the third mate when 
asked what he was signing on as said 3rd officer, the shipping master 
sent him to the back of the queue along with any one else who tried to 
sign on as an officer other than the radio officer who it turned out was 
the only one who was entitled to be signed on as an officer the shipping 
master then pointed out to the assemble what the official signing on 
name was for each rank, as it was my fist time signing on I suppose it 
was good ammunition for future use
