They did just about everyone in the Commonwealth, but left Canada out. Nice...

I caught this reference in the wiki on Warrant Officers:

" In 2018, the U.S. Navy expanded the warrant program, re-implementing the W-1 pay grade for cyber warrant officers and accepting three new WO1s in fiscal year 2019. ^[35]"

So I guess the Navy has them again (after getting rid of them in 1975).

I can verify that in 1975 my Bluejacks Manual (BJM) 19th edition 4th printing the USN still had CWO-1 listed and the USCG had a W-1. In the 20th edition of the BJM 4th printing from 1980 the USN no longer listed CWO-1 but the USCG had W-1.

Here is a link to a Navy Time's article which may be a souce for the wiki material you saw. https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2018/12/12/navy-appoints-first-w-1-officers-in-four-decades-whats-next/
