Missing members[edit]

What of Canada's ranks? Last I checked, Canada was part of NATO.

Canada's ranks are pretty much the same in all brances of the armed forces. Insignia and epaulettes are identical, except for background colours, and the navy is a bit different, having admirals instead of generals.

What's wrong with Turkey. Turkey is a NATO country, too.

Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States are NATO members. This list features as of 7 december 2006 Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom and Untited States. The list is incomplete and there is nothing "wrong" with the countries not listed. They will be listed as images are made available.Inge 15:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chief Warrant Officers[edit]

United States Navy utilizes the NATO grades WO-2 through WO-5, this article should probably reflect that similar to the Ranks and insignia of NATO Armies Officers article. See the Warrant Officer (United States) for insignia. --Born2flie 20:01, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

British Ranks formatting[edit]

For some reason that is beyond my knowledge of the wiki code, the British ranks aren't falling into columns. Sirkha 19:14, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

I trust that I am not being cretinously dense here, but the title of this page (& the Enlisted page for that matter) is surely wrong? There should surely be an apostrophe - eg Ranks and insignia of NATO Navies' Officers?

RN Midshipman is OF1 NOT OF(D)[edit]

Having been an Mid RN, Midshipman in the RN became a commissioned rank and therefore OF1 in 2007/08. Will be able to provide a reference soon. --Noofworm (talk) 12:40, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ERROR[edit]

Polish ranks e.g. commodore ≠ komandor, captain ≠ kapitan marynarki!!!2A02:A314:813F:1000:E5AC:A9A0:ACA7:130F (talk) 14:45, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The wikilinks in the template were wrong. Fixed.--Gorpik (talk) 07:52, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

UK Navy --> Royal Navy[edit]

The official and common names of this Navy is the Royal Navy (RN). I would suggest changing "United Kingdom Navy" to the "Royal Navy", or if country should be clarified due to other royal navies, then I would suggest "Royal Navy (UK)". 2A00:23C6:6F04:5B01:A432:9620:8DD4:F53C (talk) 15:42, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
