Which rank comes after Seaman Recruit in the Navy's enlisted progression?

In the Navy’s enlisted progression, you start as a Seaman Recruit (E-1) and the next step is Seaman Apprentice (E-2). This advance occurs after completing initial training and beginning to take on more duties and responsibilities. Seaman Apprentice is followed by Seaman (E-3), but the immediate next rank after Seaman Recruit is Seaman Apprentice. The other options don’t fit because Captain is a commissioned officer rank, not enlisted; Seaman Recruit is the starting rank, not the next step after itself; and Seaman (the next after SA) comes after SA, not directly after SR.
