Let me ask...What is Naval Brass, compared to regular brass. Naval Brass is/are high ranking Navy officers, admirals and up usually. The presence of Naval Brass on a seagoing vessel makes it top heavy & unstable, vastly reduces efficiency. DSK |

What's above an admiral? Max 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.

It's the Navy equivalent of the Army's General ranks: Brigadier, Major, Lt., and General, and the top rank, like Fleet Admiral, is General of the Armies, a wartime commission. Max |
