Conclusion

Of the 45 ranks that are possible in the Halo universe based upon the American Navy and Marine Corps, there are 14 unconfirmed (some because I am lazy, some because I can't look anything up in Halo: The Fall of Reach without messaging UNSC AI #23, some just plain aren't mentioned yet). That means that 31 are mentioned> And there are also 0 ranks that contradict the American system. Also, Eric Nylund confirms (here) that, when writing his books, he bases the UNSC ranking system off the American system. This, along with the fact that Bungie, Eric Nylund, and Microsoft are all American companies, heavily supports the theory that the UNSC ranking system is based upon the American Navy and Marine Corps ranking system.
