Notability[edit]

WP:MILPEOPLE would seem to suggest that having commanded a capital ship in combat makes Faulknor notable. Opera hat (talk) 01:28, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Links to explain please[edit]

What is meant by ranks being of the blue/red/white? Thanks. Kevin McE (talk) 07:24, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Admiral (Royal Navy) has more on the complex system of flag ranks then in use in the navy. Benea (talk) 08:51, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps someone who knows more than I do about what is appropriate would link it, so that those, like me, who know next to nothing about the subject are no longer in the dark. Kevin McE (talk) 16:37, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
