Starfleet
Starfleet ranks are the same as U.S. Navy rates, with the following changes.
 * The billet Commander-in-Chief (CinC) is held by the most senior Fleet Admiral, making it equivalent to the U.S. .
 * At the OR-9/E-9 grade, only a Master Chief Petty Officer has been shown.
 * If Command Master Chief Petty Officers (CMCPO) do exist, the Enterprise would have had only one, but they would have worked closely with the captain on crew related matters, and we would probably have seen them by now.
 * The UFP could have multiple Master Chief Petty Officers of the Fleet (MCPOF), equivalent to the MCPON, with one per Fleet Admiral.
 * The UFP could further have a single Master Chief Petty Officer of Starleet (MCPOS), equivalent to the SEAC, attached to the CinC.
 * The three seaman rates are renamed as the ranks: Crewman 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class.
