Why are the stars on a master chief's and senior chief's anchor inverted?
Unlike the stars used to represent officers of flag rank (Admirals) which point upward, the stars on the anchor of the Senior Chief Petty Officer and the Master Chief Petty Officer point down because they do not THEMSELVES represent a higher rank as do the one, two, three, and four stars of Admirals as they are promoted (five star Admirals... and Generals for that matter... exist only in time of war). The anchor and star(s) of the Senior and Master Chief Petty Officer TOGETHER represent rank.

Could a Seaman First Class be a Gunners mate in World War 2?
Not at the same time. A seaman 1/c could be promoted to a gunner's mate, which is a type of petty officer, or "rating". A seaman 1/c is roughly equivalent to a private in the army, and petty officers are basically the equivalent of a sergeant. There are many different "ratings", or types of petty officers in the navy, depending upon what job they do. A seaman hoping to become a petty officer in any particular field may be called a "striker" for that rating, meaning that's what he is trying to master so as to obtain a promotion, to the next higher level, as a petty officer 3/c.
