Talk:Klingon ranks
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
I really don't think there is any evidence that Colonel in the Klingon system means anything different than colonel -- military terminology places colonel equivalent with naval post-captain -- so i can't see why we would put a note in this article that is was equivalent to any admiral grade -- there has never been any such reference in a canon Star Trek production -- Captain Mike K.

Likewise for the addition of a new rank scheme that also has no explanation, for standard ranks usually place general equivalent to admiral and brigadier equivalent to commodore or one-star rear admiral. There has been no evidence to contradict this either.
Barring any other canon explanation i think the likeliest case that Klingon ship captains are exactly equivalent in rank to Klingon colonels, and that the rest of the ranks are similar to their standard equivalents. -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 13:56, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
