Fleet admiral, английский
In the united states, the definitive five-star ranks general of the army and fleet admiral were created in 1944, to honor a limited number of victorious senior commanders of world war ii. with the advice and consent of congress, president franklin d. roosevelt appointed four army and four naval officers to serve in the five-star grade for life. the admirals were william f. halsey jr., ernest j. king, william d. leahy, and chester w. nimitz. an overlooked fifth world war ii general was promoted in 1950 by president truman, and revolutionary war commander in chief george washington was posthumously given the rank by president ford in the centennial year of 1976. no other appointments have since been made, and the titles are effectively in abeyance. see also admiral of the fleet.
