List of admirals of the Russian Imperial Fleet

By order of the Minister of the Sea No. 125 of April 16, 1917, the shoulder straps of the Russian Imperial Fleet were canceled. Instead, sleeve insignia are introduced. The ranks of Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral, Admiral will be abolished only after the October Revolution of 1917, and after their "restoration" in May 1940, the primary admiral rank of Rear Admiral will be assigned to some senior officers for the second time.

Excerpt from the order ^[18] :

... In accordance with the uniforms established in the fleets of all free countries, I announce the following changes in the uniforms of the ranks of the fleets and the Maritime Department until their final development in the prescribed manner:

1) to withdraw from use all types of shoulder straps;

2) cancel wearing a scarf;

3) destroy the monogram image on the weapon;

4) in the middle of the cockade, until the cap of the new sample is established, paint over in red.

Instead of shoulder straps, I install sleeve differences from galun - on a frock coat, tunic and jacket - around the entire sleeve, on the coat - only from the outer edge. According to the ranks of the stripes are located as follows:

Rear Admiral has one wide 3/4 galun with a curl and under it two wide, one without curls, and on top a five-pointed star;

the vice admiral has the same galloons as the rear admiral, but above them are five five-pointed stars ;

the admiral has the same galloons as the vice admiral, but above them are five five-pointed stars .
