The following tables present the military ranks and insignia of the Sri Lanka Navy. These ranks generally correspond with those of Western or Commonwealth Nations militaries, and reflect those of the British Junior Commissioned Officer and Non Commissioned Officer ranks and the Commissioned officer ranks.
