admiral
Navy's top brass
An admiral is a high-ranking naval officer, typically among the highest grades in a navy's command structure.
The rank appears in compounds indicating relative seniority: rear admiral, vice admiral, fleet admiral.
Extended to non-military contexts, admiral can denote leadership of any fleet: the admiral of the yacht club.
A red admiral is a common butterfly with distinctive wing markings.
