Vice Admiral is a naval rank of three star level, equivalent to Lieutenant General in seniority. In the United States Navy, Vice Admirals generally command the numbered fleets around the world that make up
the naval components of each of the regional unified commands. Of the five
numbered fleets, four have command ships which act as the Vice Admiral's flag ship.
In the Royal Navy the rank of Vice Admiral should be distinguished from the
office of Vice Admiral of the United Kingdom, which is an Admiralty
position usually held by a full Admiral.
