Template talk:Rank
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I add Chief Petty Officer as most Naval force have Chief in place of Warrent officers and the fact that there is a great deal of Differce between the role of a CPO and a Petty officer
- What about the Commonwealth Air Ranks? The UK, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, etc. all use the Royal Air Force system of ranks for their air force. This should definitely be included in this.
I second the above about Commonwealth Air Ranks. Also, at present the template has General = Commodore. In many militaries this is never true, and even in those with Brigadier Generals, most general ranks do not equate to Commodores. It would be far better to put General = Admiral.

that good thinking However I think if we do that Chief Petty Officer should be in as it most Navaies there are Equal to a Warret officer or go for CPO/WO because both are fairly common

What about the version alongside? I know it could use a little format work. Greenshed 20:09, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I think the whole point of this easy-comparison table is to be simple. Also, it probably is meant to be a comparison within each column, not across each row. If we're going to clutter it we might as well include all the ranks and the peculiarities of these ranks which every country has as well? The RAF style is very similar to the naval style and I think it can be omitted. --Rifleman 82 20:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
What about the General =! Commodore problem? Greenshed 21:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
How about leaving out Commodore and Marshal? --Rifleman 82 21:12, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
