FP1 means Pipe Fitter First Class. The 'FP' is the Rate (Pipe Fitter) and the '1' stands for the Rank (Petty Officer First Class).
The rate/rank designator MMCS is a Senior Chief Machinist's Mate (E-8). Read in its correct Navy form, it stands for "Machinist's Mate, Chief, Senior".
MOS would be most interchangeable with Rate in the navy. Rate is pretty much another word for job specialty as is mos. Rate may also be referred to as a NEC.
"LPO" just stands for Leading Petty Officer. Essentially it refers to the Petty Officer in charge of a division, but it can refer to smaller groups as well (platoon, company, flight, etc.). It can apply to any rating in the Non-commissioned Officer ranks, and to any rank from 3rd Class up to Master Chief. It just depends on who's in charge.
