of the Great Patriotic War, all Redfleetmen became Seamen in another rank change. In 1943 all naval rank insignia became uniform in the fleet and ground forces. Uniquely, the ranks of the Soviet Naval Infantry, Soviet Naval Aviation, and the other ground services remained army-styled similar to their Red Army counterparts but the rank insignia became uniform. The Admiral of the Fleet rank was also created by then. The rank insignia was now also seen on epaulettes: black on-duty dresses and dark blue and gold on all full and ceremonial dresses for the fleet forces, with air force blue borders for the aviation branch and red borders for the coastal defense and naval infantry branch. In 1952 the senior enlisted rating's insignia (until 1972, Midshipman and from then on, Chief Ship Petty Officer) changed to its final design. 1955 saw the renaming of the Admiral of the Fleet rank into that of Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union and was now equivalent to that of a Marshal of the Soviet Union. The shoulder insignia for fleet admirals and all officers' sleeve insignia changed in the following decade as the Admiral of the Fleet rank was revived, now between Admirals and Admirals of the Fleet of the Soviet Union. 1972 saw Midshipmen's status raised to warrant officers with Chief Ship Petty Officers replacing their former roles as the highest enlisted ratings. Rank comparisons The Red Army abolished all personal officer and general ranks, retaining only personal positions. Thus, a (platoon commander) was a position for an officer who would typically hold a lieutenant or senior lieutenant rank, (battalion commander) was an equivalent of captain or major, and was an equivalent of lieutenant colonel or colonel. Even though traditional personal ranks for Red Army officers were re-established in 1935, general ranks were not introduced until 1940, probably because they were associated with the White Army movement. So, in 1935–1940 the personal rank system in the Red Army consisted of the following General-grade ranks: kombrig (brigade commander), a brigadier general equivalent komdiv (division commander), a major general equivalent komkor (corps commander), a lieutenant general equivalent komandarm 2-go ranga (army commander 2nd rank), a "full" general equivalent komandarm 1-go ranga (army commander 1st rank), a front commander or supreme commander position, and an equivalent to colonel general, general of the army, or field marshal in other nations When the Marshal of the
