Admiral of the Fleet is a five-star admiral. This was a rank created near the end of WWII in the US Navy, and bestowed upon King, Nimitz, Halsey and Leahy. At the same time the rank of General of the Army was created as a five star general. There were a total of nine officers promoted to five star rank, and there have been none since.
