Does it go First Lt -> Capt-Lt -> Capt?[/QUOTE]Yep. http://www.rankinsignia.info/show.php?podkategorie=Vloot%20-%20Royal%20Netherlands%20Navy&stat=Netherlands&id=78 German Navy ranks are also odd compared to RN or USN ranks. They have Captain Lieutenant > Corvette Captain > Frigate Captain > Captain. [/qb][/QUOTE]Around here, the navy has the ranks of: Ensign, 2nd Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant, Corvette Captain, Frigate Captain, Ship(?) Captain (Capit�n de Nav�o). Of course, "Ensign" replaced "3rd Lieutenant" a really long time ago in most navies. However, my original point is that graduated cadets attending command school may be addressed as something like that, since once they graduate from there they certainly won't become just ensigns...
