Talk:Commodore (Royal Navy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Correct version of loop?

Hi, can someone knowledgeable about ranks and insignia tell me, if the Commodore should have his loop sitting on or under the thick golden band on the sleeve?

I have made two vector images, Image:UK-Navy-OF6.svg (loop on top) and Image:UK-Navy-OF6-B.svg (loop under). SVGs can be rendered natively if you click on the image in the image desc. page.

The article says "Commodores second class wore a single 1.75 in. wide row of lace BELOW a ring measuring 1.75 in. in diameter on both sleeve and shoulder-board (and this is the insignia worn by modern commodores)."

This is correct, and I'd be surprised by any claim that it isn't. See http://www.geocities.com/commentariat/rank_images/pic_cdre_brd.gif
