In the original series, the Zeon ranks all seemed to be army-style ranks -
Colonel Char Aznabel, Major Johnny Ridden, etc.
But in Viz's translation of 0083 at least, Zeon officers are given naval
ranks - Lt.Commander Anavel Gato, Petty Officer Karius and so forth. Is this
just a translation thing, or is it actually a difference say, between the
Mobile Assault Force and the Delaz Fleet ?
Also, does anyone have a decent colour picture of Bright Noah (preferably
from the original series or from Z or ZZ) that you can send me ?

This is really just a translation thing, as the Japanese use the same words
to refer to the ranks of people in the land, air and naval forces. (I am only
familiar with the officer ranks)
Japanese Navy
Army/Air Force
Sho-i = Ensign
Second Lieutenant
Chu-i = Lieutenant (Junior Grade) First Lieutenant

Sho-sa = Lieutenant Commander Major
