However, the WO-N does not wear the WO rank insignia; instead, they wear the special insignia of the appointment.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.navy.gov.au/about/senior-leadership-group |title=Defence Leaders: Navy |publisher=www.defence.gov.au |access-date=10 August 2013 |archive-date=14 May 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150514144405/http://www.navy.gov.au/about/senior-leadership-group |url-status=live }}</ref> The WO-N appointment has similar equivalent appointments in the other services, each holding the rank of warrant officer, each being the most senior sailor/soldier/airman in that service, and each wearing their own special insignia rather than their rank insignia. The Australian Army equivalent is the [[Regimental Sergeant Major of the Army]] (RSM-A)<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.army.gov.au/Who-we-are/Leaders/Regimental-Sergeant-Major-Army |title=Regimental Sergeant Major β Army |publisher=www.army.gov.au |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609091654/http://www.army.gov.au/Who-we-are/Leaders/Regimental-Sergeant-Major-Army |archive-date=9 June 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> and the Royal Australian Air Force equivalent is the [[Warrant Officer of the Air Force]] (WOFF-AF).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.airforce.gov.au/leaders/woff-af.aspx |title=Warrant Officer of the Air Force |publisher=www.airforce.gov.au |access-date=21 June 2012 |archive-date=9 June 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609220503/http://www.airforce.gov.au/leaders/woff-af.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>
