Here we have a fine looking Naval officer standing in front of the doors to a building. I don’t know anything about WW2 era ranks, so please chip in if you know! You can just see the shadow of the person taking the photo in the lower edge of the frame.
Who Were They? 
I think this man is a Chief Petty Officer (with unknown rating).
If his insignia had stars above the eagle – it would indicate class (3 stars – first class, 2 stars, second class and so on.)
