Insignia of Rank All officers of the Royal Navy must, at all times when in uniform, carry the proper insignia of rank. Regulations state that: Lieutenants and Commanders carry white epaulettes Post Captains and Commodores carry yellow epaulettes Flag officers (rear-admirals and upwards) carry golden epaulettes Warrant officers may carry epaulettes as befit their station, but cannot carry any of the colours above   Signed Rear Admiral Fletcher Commander-in-Chief, Terra Novan Fleet   OOC: So, I thought I'd make a little guide to navy uniforms. I'd like to see a little more uniformity in the way we dress our officers, but I am not going to crack down on anyone wishing to put on a personal touch. The most important part is the colour of the epaulettes.
