Brigadier des armées navales
Brigadier des armées navales was a naval rank in the French Navy during the ancien Régime. The rank was created by an edict on 25 March 1765, renamed Chef de Division on 1 January 1786.[1] It was senior to Capitaine de vaisseau, and junior to Chef d'escadre.
History
The rank of Brigadier des armées navales was introduced on 25 March 1765, and automatically bestowed upon the 50 most senior Captains in the Navy. It was the most senior rank in the Navy below general officers, similar to a Brigadier in the Army.
On 1 January 1786, Navy Minister Castries renamed the rank to "Chef de Division" and limited their number to 27.[1]
