Lieutenant Admiral is a senior naval military rank in some countries of the world. The rank is considered by many nations[who?] to be a direct equivalent of a Vice Admiral.
In the Royal Netherlands Navy the rank of Lieutenant Admiral (Dutch: luitenant-admiraal) is senior to Vice Admiral (Dutch: vice-admiraal) and equivalent to Admiral in most other navies. During the seventeenth century, Michiel de Ruyter and Cornelis Tromp, had the rank of Lieutenant Admiral General (Dutch: luitenant-admiraal-generaal) to distinguish them from other naval officers with the rank Lieutenant Admiral.
