Gentlemen, Apparently, there is another option - one "big" star which is equal to 4 smaller ones. Ivan Kapitanets bears it. Check out these two photos: - http://www.yaconto.ru/images/stories/trueimg/originals/1/0C59A7477C1D-1.jpg - http://yaconto.com/uploads/fotos/Misc/kapitanets-yakunin.jpg Perhaps we should reflect this?

The USSR used a Marshal's star to denote a "Fleet Admiral" and an even larger one with a wreath to denote an "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union". FADM Chernavin, last CINC of the Soviet Navy, also wore an actual gold with diamonds Marshal's star around his neck when in full dress uniform. The Russian Federation made a change to four-star shoulder boards for a "Fleet Admiral" as worn by FADMs Gromov, Kuroyedov, and Masorin. Moryak ( talk) 20:05, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
In my experience the specific word denoting a rank when used by itself is a proper noun - capitalized. Understand that if usage is Joe Johnson was an admiral, then "admiral" is not a proper noun and not capitalized. Therefore, for the purposes of the discussion of a rank it is my understanding that the rank in question should be capitalized. An example - the highest Soviet naval rank was Fleet Admiral of the Soviet Union. It strike me as odd to write - the highest Soviet naval rank was fleet admiral of the Soviet Union.

To further my argument please see any table listing ranks and cross-service equivalents - including in the appropriate Wikipedia pages. In those tables all individual ranks are capitalized. Also, there is rife inconsistency within various Wikipedia articles that address ranks. Moryak ( talk) 20:35, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
