Otherwise, I think part of the problem here is trying to make a simple "top-to-bottom" rank chart, which is simply not possible in the US and UK navies, since midshipmen are/were sort of an intake route to officership. Midshipmen simply don't exist in that hierarchy.
If they did in the German navy ranks, at that time, of course, is another question.

Good job, thanks for catching that. I'll update the html page (can be done quickly), getting the chart inside this thread will still be a bit of a challenge since the html doesn't convert cleanly to bb, otherwise would've posted it that way. Aside from having the PO's as WO's upside down in terms of their rank this' still the best comparison chart that has everything all in one place. All the decent ones I've found in the past split officer's and enlisted as two seperate charts.
