Another source mentions Ioan Georgescu as only a commander and as the CO of the Naval Sea Force, not of the entire Sea Division.

Ioan Georgescu was commander of the Naval Sea Force till 21 June 1941. Between 21 June 1941 and 1 January 1942 he was commander of the Sea Division, while commander of the Naval Sea Force was C-dor Alexandru Bardescu.

Ok, but what about the rank difference?

I have looked up the Marine commanders and they are generally army officers, not navy.

I was not talking about the Marine Infantry Regiment, but of the Marine Detachment (1 or Sulina), which was subordinated to the Royal Navy Command. The Marine Infantry Regiment does not seem to be in the organic of Royal Navy.

On 22 June 1941:
-15th Marine Battalion: maj. Stefan Bucurenciu
-16th Marine Battalion: lt. col. Ion Albescu
-17th Marine Battalion: cpt. Florea Tudorache

Another source gives lt. col. Albescu as CO of the 15th Marine Battalion during the debacle at periprava in June 1941. I suppose Bucurenciu was the CO of the 16th then.
