Rank: Commander

Explanation:
As both mediamatrix and cranesfreak have said, C. d. F. stands for Capitán de Fregata.
In Peru, among other countries, this rank comes above Capítan de Corbeta and below Capitán de Navío. It is equivalent to NATO OF-4.
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitán_de_Fragata

Commander is the equivalent rank both in the British Royal Navy and the US Navy.
This rank is NATO OF-4 and US O-5

Christine Walsh: It was my father's rank, and it was translated like this. Saludos :) // He was born in Argentina, joined the RNVR during the war, married my mother in the UK, and when the 3 of us came to Argentina he became a reserve officer in the Argentine navy.

-> Thanks, Christine! that's a pretty good reference :) I know a Captain outranks a Commander, but I've always found "Commander" a more impressive title.
