Ranks
Military rank is a system of hierarchical relationships in armed forces or civil institutions organized along military lines. Usually, uniforms denote the bearer's rank by particular insignia affixed to the uniforms. Ranking systems have been known for most of military history to be advantageous for military operations, in particular with regards to logistics, command, and coordination; as time continued and military operations became larger and more complex, military ranks increased and ranking systems themselves became more complex. The ranks inner West Rheinland Fleet are different with the ranks of Rheinland Military. This ranking system made difference between single pilots and captains and crews of capital ships. Because Westliche Rheinland Flotte is another combat arm, for this we use different ranking system.
