    Hey guys, got these last week, arrived today.

    These are from a "Capitão de Fragata", translated literally to Frigate captain, and as far as I could research it is equivalent to a commander in the US navy.

    Correct:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigate_captain

    Insignia of a capitão de fragata of the Brazilian Nay.

    Frigate captain is a naval rank in the naval forces of several countries. Corvette lies one level below Frigate.

    It is, usually, equivalent to the Commonwealth/US Navy rank of commander.
