vice-admiral
Three-star sailor
A vice-admiral is a naval officer ranking above rear admiral and below admiral—typically the second-highest or third-highest rank in a navy.
The prefix vice- indicates a deputy or subordinate position, though in practice vice-admirals often command major fleets or serve in senior administrative roles: Vice-Admiral Nelson led the fleet at Trafalgar.
