Are you sure it wasn't QMQ3? They may have transcribed it wrong on the listing.
That would be a Quartermaster (Quartermaster) 3rd class.
There were a series of QM ratings subdivided in the earlier years of the Navy.
QMN (navigation)
QMS (signalman)
before they became their own ratings.

I found the same entry as OldeSalt, but that's pretty much it. Even checked a couple lists of Navy ratings going back to the late 1700's. The closest one was QMQ for Quatermaster. Where did you get it from? Is it possible it was a typo of some sort? If you did get this from the Thomas Carney listing for the Fort Snelling National Cemetery, I did find some other entries for the Navy that appear to be not quite right.
Have you tried posting on Military.com in the Navy area? Maybe someone there might have an idea for you.

I saw that on a listing of CARNEY, THOMAS, QUQ3 who lived from 1932 to 1999 and is buried in the Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Minneapolis, MN. It must be an OLD USN rating. QUQ is a radio code for: "Shall I train my searchlight nearly vertical on a cloud, occulting if possible and, if your aircraft is seen, deflect the beam upwind and on the water (or land) to facilitate your landing?"

I have never heard of it. Sounds like some nomenclature for some type of equipment.
