In watching JAG over the last few years, these lawyer types address Petty
Officers as Petty Officer "So and So". I had a "Crow" on my sleeve for 2
years and was never addressed as Petty Officer, nor did I ever hear anyone
else called a Petty Officer.
Of course this was back in the late 50's when female sailors were "Waves".
Is this the new and improved Navy or is it just the blackshoes?

They incorrectly address folks as "Petty Officer". The correct way to
address folks is "Petty Officer Jones", "Chief Nelson", Commander Rab", etc.
Junior Enlisted deserve to be addressed correctly too!
