Lieutenant over eight years after 1914 Lieutenant commander The system changed several times, but after 1864 was as follows:Д¬rown, crossed baton & sword, and three starsД¬rown, crossed baton & sword, and two starsД¬rown, crossed baton & sword, and one (larger) star Other Fleet Air Arm officers had a letter 'A' inside the curl.ДЇrom 1795 rank badges could also be shown on epaulettes. Naval pilots in the Fleet Air Arm (and earlier the Royal Naval Air Service) have wings above the curl on the left hand sleeve. Dark green вЂ“ civilian officers when required to wear uniform ДЇrom 1955 to 1993 there was a rank of acting sub-lieutenant, with the same rank insignia as a sub-lieutenant.Silver grey - civilian officers from Royal Corps of Naval Constructors (RCNC).The residual use of distinction cloth for non-combatants is therefore: In 1955 it was announced that the distinction cloth worn between the stripes of officers of the non-executive branches of the Royal Navy was to be abolished, except for those who must be clearly recognisable as non-combatant under the Geneva Convention. At the same time they also received other things such as oak leaves on the peaked cap that had formerly been the prerogative of the military branch. Instructors (from 1879) & schoolmasters (from 1917)Д®ngineer officers received the curl in 1915 and all other officers in 1918. Until 1891 officers of the 'civil' branches had single-breasted coats with different arrangements of buttons. Other (civil) branches had plain rings, from 1863 with coloured distinction cloth between or below them. The curl was introduced in 1856, but initially only the military (or executive) and navigating (masters) branches wore it. In 1931, all the 1вЃ„ 2in rings were all increased to 9вЃ„ 16in. In 1919, the admiral's narrow stripe was reduced to 1вЃ„ 2in, but as King George V had not approved the change, the Royal Family continued to wear the wider ring. On 30 October 1877, a lieutenant of eight years'/ seniority got an additional half-ring of 3вЃ„ 16in, increased to 1вЃ„ 4in in 1891, and in 1914 became the new rank of lieutenant commander. As a result, on 5 September 1861 the lower ranks' rings were changed: Into those of over eight years seniority and those under. On 16 April 1861, mates were commissioned as sub-lieutenants and lieutenants were divided For the first time these were consistently applied to all blue uniforms. The modern system of gold rings on the cuffs originated on 11 April 1856.
