Admiral of the fleet
| Морской словарь |
This british rank probably originated in the middle ages, but the first recorded appointment was in 1690. when the royal navy was divided into three squadrons (see admirals in the royal navy) the admiral of the fleet was supreme commander of the assembled squadrons, each of which was commanded by a full admiral. until 1827 the head of the royal navy was called admiral of the fleet, then the position became first sea lord. the rank was placed in abeyance in 1996, but incumbents nonetheless retain the title for life. see also fleet admiral.
