Rank comparison chart of naval forces of Francophonie states.
Most of the 54 Francophonie nations have their beginnings in French Empire and have shared naval traditions. By comparison, Albania, Andorra, Belgium, Burundi, Cape Verde, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Greece, Guinea-Bissau, Moldova, North Macedonia, Romania, Rwanda, São Tomé and Príncipe and Switzerland were not French colonies. Even after some had achieved a degree of independent government from France, their naval protection was still French.

Vice admiral is a senior naval flag officer rank, equivalent to lieutenant general and air marshal. A vice admiral is typically senior to a rear admiral and junior to an admiral. In many navies, vice admiral is a three-star rank with a NATO code of OF-8, although in some navies like the French Navy it is an OF-7 rank, the OF-8 code corresponding to the four-star rank of squadron vice-admiral.
Counter admiral is a rank found in many navies of the world, but no longer used in English-speaking countries, where the equivalent rank is rear admiral. The term derives from the French contre-amiral. Depending on the country, it is either a one-star or two-star rank.
Each officer rank in the navy of a NATO country may be compared with the ranks used by any military service in other NATO countries, under a standardized NATO rank scale. This is useful, for instance, in establishing seniority amongst officers serving alongside each other within multinational command structures.
The following table lists the ranks and insignia of officers in NATO air forces.
This table shows the ranks and insignia of NCOs and Seaman in the navies of member countries of NATO. NATO maintains a "standard rank scale" in an attempt to match every member country's military rank to corresponding ranks used by the other members. The rank categories were established in the document STANAG 2116, formally titled NATO Codes for Grades of Military Personnel.
