The Navy of the Russian Federation inherited the ranks of the Soviet Navy, although the insignia and uniform were slightly altered. The navy predominantly uses naval-style ranks but also uses army-style ranks for some specialisations, including naval aviation, marine infantry, medical and legal.

Rank titles are sometimes modified due to a particular assignment, branch, or status:

  • The ranks of servicemen assigned to a "guards" unit, formation, or ship are preceded by the word “guards”;
  • The ranks of servicemen in the legal, medical, and veterinary branches are followed by “of justice”, “of the medical service”, and “of the veterinary service”, respectively;
  • The ranks of servicemen in reserve or retirement are followed by “of the reserve” or “in retirement”, respectively;
  • The rank descriptor "of aviation" was officially abolished but is still commonly used, common use of it, however, is being phrased out.
