Question

From the options given below, choose the one that correctly represents the ranks of the Indian Navy in descending order.

• A. Admiral -> Lieutenant -> Lieutenant Commander -> Captain -> Sub-lieutenant
• B. Admiral -> Captain -> Sub-lieutenant -> Lieutenant -> Lieutenant Commander
• C. Admiral -> Captain -> Lieutenant Commander -> Lieutenant -> Sub-lieutenant
• D. Admiral -> Lieutenant Commander -> Lieutenant -> Sub-lieutenant -> Captain

Answer 1

The correct option is C Admiral -> Captain -> Lieutenant Commander -> Lieutenant -> Sub-lieutenant

The Admiral is the highest rank in the Indian Navy. The Chief of the Naval Staff is always an Admiral. The Vice Admiral and the Rear Admiral are the ranks just below that of the Admiral.
The subsequent chain in descending order is: Commander, Captain, Lieutenant Commander, Lieutenant, and Sub-lieutenant.
