The rank was introduced in Russia by Peter the Great in 1713. By decision of the so-called Military Navy Commission (ru: Воинская морскaя комиссия) in 1732 the sequence of Kapitan ranks was abolished. However, until 1752 the grade rank Kapitan 1st rank was corresponding to Fleet kapitan (ru: флота капитан). Finally, the Kapitan ranks were reintroduced September 5 (16), 1751. The Red Army introduced the Kapitan 1st rank rank in 1935, together with a number of other former Russian ranks, and it continues to be used in many ex-USSR countries, including Russia.
The first OF-5 equivalent rank in the Soviet Navy (from 1918 to 1935) was Ship komandir 1st rank, also Ship commander 1st rank, (ru: командир корабля 1-ого ранга; literal: commander of the ship 1st rank).
This particular rank was introduced by disposal of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union and the Council of People's Commissars, from September 22, 1935.Decree of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union and the Council of People's Commissars, from September 22, 1935, on introduction of individual military rank designation to commanding personnel of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
The equivalent rank designation in the Soviet Navy for warship engineers was Kapitan 1st rank-engineer. Other non-seagoing naval personnel of OF-5 rank, such as in medical service, chemical defence, marines, and naval aviation, have the rank of Polkovnik.
In the navy of the Russian Federation there are three ranks in the staff officer (until 1917: stab-ofizer, derived from German Stabsoffizier) career group:
- Captain 1st rank
- Captain 2nd rank
- Captain 3rd rank
