' Wrote:Wouldn't she outrank the Minister of Defence and the currently unoccupied rank of Fleet Admiral, though? That would make holding the rank of Admiral redundant, given she holds a rank 3 rungs above it already.
The Minister of Defence isn't a rank, it's a civilian position, if following modern analogues.
I would assume that there would be a Fleet Admiral in the Admiralty, and possibly Rear-Admirals too, depending on the Admiral's own home base.
