Question on German Petty Officer Ranks

LukeFF · 03-20-07, 05:34 PM

As we know, we can use the German names for crew ranks via programs like SH3 Commander. What I am wondering is, what are the most appropriate rank names for the petty officers? I see the ranks on the first page here listed as "feldwebel," yet on the second link (to the detailed section), they are referred to as "bootsmann." Does one refer to a position and the other a rank?

Someone enlighten me, please on the German Navy's ranking system. :p
