These Argentine rank flags are based on the book Flags of Maritime Nations [u9s99a].
Miles Li, 27 Dec 2007
Flags of Maritime Nations [u9s99a] took these designs from the Argentine book Código Nacional de Señales (National Code of Signals) written by Eduardo Muscari and published by the Argentine Navy in 1894. These ranks were used until 1904 when a new reglament was established.

![[President]](../images/a/ar~94pre.gif)
Same as today, but without the stars.

![[Ministers of State]](../images/a/ar~94min.gif)
![[Minister of Navy]](../images/a/ar~94mna.gif)
Captioned "Minister of Marine" in [u9s99a].
Miles Li, 27 Dec 2007
![[Chief of the Naval Staff]](../images/a/ar~94cns.gif)
Captioned "Major-General of Marine" in [u9s99a] (no doubt a literal
translation from Spanish "Jefe del Estado-Mayor de la Marina").

![[Undersecretary of the Navy]](../images/a/ar~94usn.gif)
Captioned "Undersecretary of Marine" in [u9s99a].

![[Admiral]](../images/a/ar~94adm.gif)
Admiral had three stars. Note that [u9s99a] labelled [wrongly] the three-star flag as Vice Admiral.

![[Vice Admiral]](../images/a/ar~94vad.gif)
Vice Admiral had two stars. Note that [u9s99a] labelled [wrongly] the two-star flag as Rear Admiral.
Jane's Fighting Ships pre-WWI showed the two-star flag as Vice Admiral.
Miles Li, 28 Dec 2007
![[Rear Admiral]](../images/a/ar~94rad.gif)
Rear Admiral had one star. Note that [u9s99a] labelled [wrongly] the one-star flag as Commodore. This was probably a mistake by the US Navy which was unfamiliar with the star-rank system of Argentina.
Jane's Fighting Ships pre-WWI showed the one-star flag as Rear Admiral.
