An admiral of the fleet is the highest grade of flag officer authorized in the United States Navy, or a naval officer of equivalent grade in the naval offices of other nations.
Unlike the stars used to represent officers of flag rank (Admirals) which point upward, the stars on the anchor of the Senior Chief Petty Officer and the Master Chief Petty Officer point down because they do not THEMSELVES represent a higher rank as do the one, two, three, and four stars of Admirals as they are promoted (five star Admirals... and Generals for that matter... exist only in time of war). The anchor and star(s) of the Senior and Master Chief Petty Officer TOGETHER represent rank.

The first flagraising atop Mount Suribachi, February 23, 1945 was a small flag. The news correspondents got a quick shot of this event and then a group photo. The flag raisers were: Hank Hansen, Boots Thomas, John Bradley, Phil Ward, Ira Hayes, Jim Michaels, and Chuck Lindberg. A Navy Admiral wanted the flag to take back with him. So another flag was carried up the mount that was larger. This time the event was captured by Rosenthal's famous photo that he snapped in a hurry. See the Links for a biography of the flag raisers who were captured in this photo. This photo was used to raise war bonds. Eventually, a facsimile was cast in Bronze and erected at Arlington Cemetery, called the Marine Memorial.
Both the United States Navy and the United States Coast Guard have the rank of admiral. This is a four star flag ranking and puts admirals on a lateral scale with those of generals in the army and marines. Technically, there is a five star admiral ranking, but this rank is reserved for wartime use only.
A commodore admiral is a flag officer of a rank between captain and rear admiral.
Quoting (Somebody) Everett, "Officers of the rank of Rear Admiral, Vice-Admiral, or Admiral are designated as flag officers. When one of them takes command of a ship, a task force or a fleet, the chief signalman is given the job of raising the Admiral's flag." The Admiral's flag is blue with white stars. A Rear-Admiral will have two stars on his flag, a vice-admiral will have three stars, and a full Admiral rates four stars. A very rare case would be five stars for a fleet admiral. "During the ceremony the flag is bunched up into a ball and hoisted up in that fashion until it gently bumps the masthead and the balled up flag breaks open to a full flag furl. When this takes place the flag officer's flag has broken open and he has taken command." To say that a Commander "Broke his flag," means that particular officer has been assigned task force or Fleet Commander.
An admiral's barge is a motorboat used by flag officers for harbour transport.
Whilst the Union Flag has never been officially adopted by law as the national flag of the UK, it has become so by usage (which can count for a lot in the British constitutional/legal system) and the government has stated it is the correct flag for use by British citizens. Afloat though, the Union Flag has been reserved by the United Kingdom government for specific, military purposes. It is the jack of the Royal Navy and the flag of rank for an Admiral of the Fleet. These are the reasons why it is illegal for a civilian ship to fly it. A First Sea Lord will inevitably hold the rank of Admiral and it is therefore considered that the Union Flag would be flown from the bow jack-stay with the Royal Navy white ensign at the stern when alongside. When under-way a St. Georges flag as an Admirals ensign would additionally be flown from the main-mast.
Not only are there black Captains, but there are several flag officers (Admirals) as well.
