[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE] Is that realistic, eliminating a rank and then restoring it a decade later? I know real services have tinkered with their ranks to some extent--the US Army's gotten rid of those technical ranks since WWII, for instance. Has a military added a rank in the last century or so? [/QUOTE]I think the rank of Field Marshal has been abolished (or is only available in times of war). I know the British army added/modified a couple of ranks during the Napoleonic period, the most notable being Colour Sergeant in 1813. The RN rank structure was also rationalised and expanded in the 19th century- the ranks of Lieutenant Commander and Commander were added and Commodore was made an actual rank rather than a position. I can't thin of an instance where a rank was got rid of and then re-intoduced though. [/QB][/QUOTE]
