Notes

1. Admiral of the Fleet of the Russian Federation - in the present time is not an active a theoretical (hypothetical) senior-most possible military rank of the modern Russian Navy Force that is considered the highest Russian naval position. It is much like to the US Fleet Admiral and it can be used in wartime when the size of the Russian Navy demands it. For all time of existence of this rank in modern Russia it still nobody was appointed.
