Are you sure that these licenses no longer exist? The FCC has a detailed section of their website about them: https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-division/commercial-radio-operator-license-program https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-divis... I am not sure what relevance they have these days. The FAA seems to handle everything involving aviation radios. I know nothing about shipping. Everything else seems to be computer-based (so you don't operate the radio, you operate a computer that operates the radio in accordance with FCC rules).

The licence that remains is equivalent to the old "General Radio Telephone" licence. This was a much easier, shorter test and wasn't considered the equivalent of a "degree" by employers. Read to the bottom of the page. It lists the "First Class Radiotelephone Licence" as "no longer operative" https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-division/commercial-radio-operator-license-program/commercial-0 https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-divis... When I renewed mine, it was "downgraded" to the General Radiotelephone license.
