In the Royal Navy, an admiral is a senior naval officer, typically in command of a large formation or fleet, and holds a four-star rank. An Admiral of the Fleet is a higher rank, equivalent to a five-star rank, and is a ceremonial position often held by the most senior officers, usually during wartime or in times of significant naval activity. While admirals can be active in command, an Admiral of the Fleet is rarely appointed and represents the pinnacle of naval rank.
