Naval ranks and insignia of Cuba

The following list presents the naval versions of the Rank and Insignia of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces from 1980, until 1999. In the far left, ranks are those that follow traditional Western military ranks, in the center are the Spanish name ranks in italics, and in the far right are the rank insignia.

Officer Ranks
Commander in Chief and General of the Army are all-forces high ranks. A unique feature in the Navy is the use of all three Lieutenant ranks (Frigate, Corvette and Ship-of-the-Line) and the use of the Ensign rank.

Enlisted ranks
The ranks of Seaman Recruit (Marinero) and Able Seaman (Marinero de Primera) wear no rank insignia at all.
