Russian navy personal strength in 1845

For years was in the Netherlands a magazine published dealing with maritime affairs. It contained notes dealing with the Royal Dutch Navy and the Dutch merchant shipping/trade, but also supplied information dealing with foreign navies, especially of France and Great Britain. Occasionally we can find information dealing with the navies of other countries Russia, United States or even Mexico. In 1845 the Russian Navy counted 1 ‘great-admiral’, 8 admirals, 15 vice-admirals, 39 rear admirals, 72 captains 1st class, 80 captains 2nd class and 211 captain lieutenants.
