message: I noticed on the officer ranks Captain First Rank and below, there was a colored piping down the middle.  Does any one know what this means?--Mtnerd 21:56, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Various colors indicate military speciality of an officer (line, aviator, medic etc.) just like Army's infantry officers have red stripes, but aviators and paratroopers have blue ones etc. I'm not able to provide the exact legend at this time though. --DmitryKo 06:53, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe yellow indicates seagoing branches, while red signifies Naval Infantry and light blue indicates Naval Aviation. Naval Infantry and Naval Aviation also use Army ranks rather than naval ranks. I am not sure if medical, engineering, etc also use yellow or if they have their own colorsCfagan1987 (talk) 16:22, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Where in this article Fleet Admiral of the Russian Federation? This version is erroneous. Marshal of the Russian Federation Marshal of the Russian Federation is the highest rank for All-forces of the Russian Federation, but it is not highest rank only for all armed forces of the Russian Federation. Here http://www.mil.ru/articles/article3665.shtml the rank of Marshal of the Russian Federation is placed only in the ground forces column, but not in two columns.
For this rank see http://www.uniforminsignia.net/index.php?p=show&id=123&sid=1498 , http://www.tridentmilitary.com/RUSSIANMILITARIA/russian-rank-chart.html , http://www.luther.ca/~dave7cnv/military/militare.html. It is a theoretical senior-most military rank of the modern Russian Navy. Fleet Admiral of the Russian Federation is not an active military rank in the presents time, and only exists in theory to be appointed if Russia ever became involved in a major war or national emergency. It is written in the military doctrine of the Russian Federation. Therefore we do not see it here: Federal Law "On military duty and military service". Current revision, http://wbase.duma.gov.ru/ntc/vdoc.asp?kl=4488 . In development of this rank has borrowed, as well as it is necessary, service of rear of the Russian Army and committee on heraldry between 1992-1994. Nothing prevents it from being introduced in the future, even at wartime, but in the presents time it simply just does not оfficially exist.
P.S By Presidential Decree of 27 Jan 1997.  The rank of "Marshal of the Russian Federation" was eliminated (though those already awarded the rank are allowed to wear the Marshal’s single large star).  General and Flag officers’ rank insignia were altered so that generals of the Army and admirals of the Fleet now wear four stars, Colonels-General three stars, Lieutenants-General two stars and Majors-General one star.

message: Has the rank of Admiral of the Fleet of the Russian Federation ever existed? Yes or no?
If it hasn't then it shouldn't be listed at all - with or without a statement to that effect. Saying it's 'hypothetical' is not good enough, even if there is official documentation to that effect. What ISN'T hypothetical? 'Grand Pooh-bah of the Russian Federation'? 'Supreme Commander of the Universe ... of the Russian Federation'? It isn't like the USN rank of Fleet Admiral, which DOES exist, though no one presently holds the rank.
The prior existence of AFSU and MRF is indication enough of the possibility of such a rank being called AFRF. But the fact is that Russia has no need of any such rank for the forseeable future. User:Chief of the Naval Stuff
:No, it doesn't exist (see Talk:Admiral of the Fleet of the Russian Federation. The problem is that VFD for this article was carried out but it was decided to keep it, for whatever bizarre reasons, while similarily non-existant Chief Marshal Of The Air Force of the Russian Federation was speedy deleted... --Dmitry 21:01, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I notice that the US equivalent ranks for the various grades of admirals does not correspond with the US equivalents for generals listed on the Russian army and airforce rank pages.  If using the army equivalents as the basis, the naval equivalents should line up as:
Russian deck (Navy) ranks	US equivalent
Admiral of the Fleet     	Admiral
Admiral                  	Vice Admiral
Vice Admiral             	Rear Admiral (upper half)
Counter Admiral          	Rear Admiral (lower half)
The US rank of Fleet Admiral is a wartime rank and should be the equivalent to Marshall of the Russian Federation, which doesn't have a Russian naval equivalent. What are other views on this? Nicholas F 18:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The Red color on the shoulderboards implies that the person bears a non-naval rank.  For instance a Major vs. Capt. 3rd Rank.  The people with strictly naval ranks would only have yellow or black colors on the shoulder boards.

I've noticed that the Warrant officers and ratings section is duplicated, shouldn't 1.3 be deleted?
