The image of the RN Cdre rank lace is wrong. The "curl" is not partly concealed behind the broad lace, but should be a complete ring of narrow lace that sits above the broad lace.
- If you can find a better picture, more power to you. The one on this page came from the U.S. Navy Homepage under "Allied Navies". -Husnock 24Nov04
Also, the table should be altered as Maj-Gen is the highest rank in the Royal Marines. Andrew Yong 00:23, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Then alter the table! Tis is Wikipedia where anyone can alter anything! -Husnock 24Nov04
- The professional head of the Royal Marines (the Commandant General Royal Marines) may be a major general, but an RM officer can always be promoted to a higher-ranking appointment in the Ministry of Defence. The 2004 Navy List gives the highest-ranking Royal Marine officers as Lt Gen R.H.G. Fulton and Lt Gen R.A. Fry, who hold senior positions on the Defence Staff. (Anyone know if a Royal Marine can hold a 4-star appointment - Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff, Chief of Defence Logistics?) Franey 11:01, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
RM generals are administered the same way as Army generals after the rank of Colonel, therefore they are eligible for more senior positions but this tends not to happen.
Note 2 doesn't appear to refer to anything material to this article.
I am a little confused as to why this article has a heading Commodore 64? Why the 64?Ningbojoe 02:45, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Emperor's New Clothes" link
Rm the external link; it was an extremely POV/OR essay on how great the UK ranking system was, and how other countries' ranking systems as deviations from it were "wrong, stupid, pointless, and confusing". It adds nothing to the article. --SigPig |SEND - OVER 20:31, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
