Working Title: Common Ranks:
Silent Hunter: This is brilliant. Definitely Made Of Win.
An interesting note on the comparative importance of subs in navies- US nuclear subs are commanded by those of OF-4 ranks and Soviet ones were those of OF-5.
Koveras: Also note how Soviet/Russian fleet is inherently more badass than any other on the planet: they have three ranks called "Captain", i.e. three times more Captains in the fleet! ;)
Silent Hunter: You also have aviation cruisers.
