Absolutely, as long as they're not within the same chain of command (i.e., the Chief isn't above the 2nd class in charge of her/him in the same command).
Many Chiefs are in fact married to petty officers junior to them.

What rank is after chief petty officer?
Senior Chief Petty Officer followed by Master Chief Petty Officer.
How do you address a petty officer?
The Navy (and Coast Guard) are different from other services. We have a Rate (similar to Rank in other branches) and a Rating (similar to MOS). Your Rate is your pay-grade, E-1 is a Seaman Recruit, E-6 is a Petty Officer 1st Class, etc... Your Rating is your job, ET is an Electronics Technician, and FT is a Fire Control Technician, for example. Specific to your question: there are two broad classes of Petty Officers, non-commisioned officers and senior non-commisioned officers. E-4 (Petty Officer 3rd Class), E-5 (2nd Class), and E-6 (1st Class) are non-commissioned officers and you can formally address them in three ways: # Simply as Petty Officer, # An abbreviated form of address such as PO3 (for 3rd Class) or PO1 (for 1st Class), # By combining the Petty Officers Rate and Rating into a single form of address; for example a Machinists Mate who is an Petty Officer 3rd Class could be addressed as MM3, or a Boatswains Mate who is a Petty Officer 1st Class could be addressed at BM1. If you know a Petty Officers last name, you can add it to the greeting as well, i.e., Petty Officer Smith, or MM3 Smith. Addressing a Chief Petty Officer is easier. A E-7 is a Chief Petty Officer, a E-8 is a Senior Chief Petty Officer, and a E-9 is a Master Chief Petty Officer. In practice you would refer to them as Chief, Senior Chief, and Master Chief, respectively. Like the more junior Petty Officers, you can combine a Chief's address with the last name, i.e. Chief Smith, or Master Chief Smith.

Who was the first chief in the navy?
From the official "Chief Petty Officer heritage" page from http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq46-1.htm: "On April 1, 1893, two important steps were taken. First, the grade of Chief Petty Officer was established; secondly, most enlisted men received a pay raise. The question is often asked, "Who was the first Chief Petty Officer?" The answer is flatly: "There was no first Chief Petty Officer due to the fact that nearly all ratings carried as Petty Officers First Class from 1885 were automatically shifted to the Chief Petty Officer level." Exceptions were Schoolmasters, who stayed at first class; Ship's Writers, who stayed the same but expanded to include second and third class; and Carpenter's Mates, who had been carried as second class petty officers but were extended to include chief, first, second, and third classes. Therefore, the Chief Petty Officer grade on April 1, 1893, encompassed the nine rates shown in Table 2."
