Can I ask like a question? Isn't Admiral a bigger rank than General?
And what kind of rank's in my navy do I need to creat?
Like, uhh..., Second-In-Command (Which would be like the Colonal), Commander, Captian, Lieutenant, Intelligence Officer, Sailor, etc?

Tomorrow between those times is fine with me.
First, no. Admiral is not bigger/higher than General. Neither is it is lower. Admiral is equal to that of a General. The only difference between the two is one is the commander of a ship, the others aren't. (And a Colonel isn't called a Colonel in the Navy, it's Captain).
The US created the "pay grade" scale to avoid confusion. A Captain in the AF, Army, and Marines, is not equal to a Captain in the Navy.
An AF Captain is an O-3 (Officer-3). If you look on the link below, an O-3 in the Navy is a Lieutenant Junior Grade (or something close to that).
XD, and by the way, and Intelligence Officer is a job (position), not a rank (as would be a Colonel, Captain, Major, Lieutenant, Sergeant, etc...).
I venture to suggest that you use something like this...I based the Army ranks off of Air Force ranks (since I'm very accustomed to the Air Force).
Click here for US Navy Ranks
I would bookmark this just as a reference. Let's say Cloud is a Master Chief Petty Officer (aka Master Chief)(no, not like the HALO guy >.>). In the Army, he would be equal to a Sergeant Major. In the Air Force, a Sgt. Maj. is equal to a Chief Master Sergeant. A Master Chief, Sgt. Major, and Chief are all equal, and highly respected, since they are the highest rank of all the enlisted men. Don't worry about the Master Chief of the Navy, or a Command Master Chief. Those are "special ranks." If you want to know about them, then send me a PM. Otherwise, I'll see you tomorrow Admiral!

Scroll down and you'll be able to see all of the ranks.

Mhm. I used another website though. It makes it easier for me trying to explain to other people what a Lieutenant Colonel is in the RAF.

No, I'm afraid I wouldn't. I have a hard time understanding those kinds of things

If you worked under me, back when I was a active Colonel...you would have understood. You just have to...experience it...to get it. Trust me. XD Because you better know who to salute to, who to not salute, but respect, or else there can be problems >.>
