In the Navy a Fleet Admiral is above an Admiral, there are 3 ranks of
Admiral (rear lower half, rear upper half, and vice) below Admiral.
Above fleet Admiral is only the president. We have not had a fleet
Admiral since WWII. Fleet Admirals during that war were Chester W.
Nimitz, William D. Leahy, Ernest J. King, and William F. Halsey.
