I'd be guessing that my Dad was earning not much more than a YoS. He was an RN Lt at the time, with about 4 years seniority. I know that by the time I was in the Andrew a Fleet Chief was on almost exactly the same as a Lt Cdr on promotion.
As an aside, at the beginning of my second year as a Midshipmite my pay went from £2,600 to £4,500 - not because the Admiralty valued my (non-existant) skills, but because Maggie gave us the entire 35% pay award in one go - and I started getting the training rate of flying pay.
