Column by column:

1. US Navy equivalent ranks (this is in English!)
2. Japanese Navy / JSMDF ranks
3. Dress uniform
a. shoulder insignia
b. collar insignia
4. "Normal suits" (I have no idea what it is; probably similar to khaki service uniform of US Navy?)
a. shoulder insignia (?) -- too fuzzy
b. collar insignia (?) -- too fuzzy
5. Same as 3. but of 0083 instead of 0079

Just for your information.

Perhaps you mean JMSDF?　Actually, terms related to ranks which were used in Japanese Navy and those which are used in Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force are somewhat different. For example, 'captain' in JMSDF is '１佐', not '大佐'.

See that as to officers in JGSDF Mishima wrote '一尉二尉', not '大尉中尉'.

'Normal suit' is a term used in the diégèse of Gundam, and it means 'space suit'.

Thanks for your additional info. Yeah, I should have noticed those were IJN and not JMSDF ranks.

Since we're nitpicking, I'd like to point out that we're not speaking French here, but English -- and, in English, diégèse is called diegesis.

Thank Very Much everybody! This is the largest image I could make up, sorry, since it is a small book. Unfortunately, I do not read Japanese, enough learning English... Anyways, I am big military type sci-fi anime Fan, especially interested in these of rank insignias and uniforms. I am wonder though, is there any mention of AEUG or Titans, and is this supposedly be a chart of the evolution of the Federal Space Force from 0079 till 0100's or so?

Thanks again, Zibster!

It's a pleasure.
Also, in Japanese Navy, petty officers were basically '兵曹', not '軍曹', '伍長' and the like. So it seems that the person who had written the table which Lord_Ziba showed us had used both navy terms and army terms in the table.

I occasionally write 'diegesis' as 'diégèse'. If you mind it, please read it as diegesis in your mind.
　
By the way, I have heard that you are not currently particularly active in the forums. I'm sorry to trouble you, but, at this occasion, may I again ask you this question about when the sumptuary law in question was enacted?

Hi guys, oh, I should mentioned before, yes, indeed those insignias based on the IJN rank system, not JSDF. Regardless, I have one more link: http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/96/l_f824d0c587db44adad3a285d1f6939f6.jpg I hope this one helped more!

Thank you again, Zibster!
