Pay Grade E-4 (enlisted 4), the lowest rank of a noncommissioned officer (NCO), the same as a corporal in the US Army or Marines. Just above Seaman and below Gunners Mate 2nd Class. Its a type of Petty Officer.
The Navy's system is a combination of "rating", (here Gunners Mate) and "rate" (here, Petty Officer 3rd Class) and they are combined into "Gunners Mate 3rd".
Petty Officers in the Navy have specialized training, and there are a large number of rates, each with its own special insignia.
All Petty Officers wear a sleeve insignia showing their rating and rate. At the top is an eagle, above the insignia of their specialty - for a gunners mate, two crossed cannon. Below that are upside down chevrons (compared to the way an army or marine sergeant wears his). One chevron below is 3rd class, two is second, petty officer first class.

Is the World War 2 US Army rank T5 equivalent to a Sergeant?
On January 8, 1942, Technician Third Class (T/3), Technician Fourth Class (T/4), and Technician Fifth Class (T/5) were added to the rank insignia. On September 4, 1942, a "T" was added to the standard chevron design that corresponded with that grade. A technician was not addressed as one such, but rather as the neighboring rank in its pay grade (T/5 as Corporal; T/4 as Sergeant; T/3 as Staff Sergeant). A technician did not have the authority to give commands or issue orders. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_enlisted_rank_insignia_of_World_War_II

What rank is a COX in the Navy?
Rank is a term that references longevity and seniority. Rating is the term used for the type of work an individual does. While COX would typically be a rating, when it was used, it was one of the only terms that specifically identifed both a rating and a specific rank. COX is the abbreviation for Coxswain. The individual would be an E-4 Boatswain's Mate. Today we would call that a Boatswain's Mate Third Class (BM3). In today's Navy the term is used to refer to any individual running a small boat or landing craft and doesn't refer to a rank or a rating.
