Congrats to the Newest Rear Admiral (Salute)

Heres and answer to your question, Mam. <br /><br />Each Naval Squadron would be assigned an Admiral as its head, who would command from the centre vessel and direct the activities of the squadron. The Admiral would in turn be assisted by a Vice, or Vice Admiral, who commanded the lead ships which would bear the brunt of a naval assault.<br /><br />In the rear of the Naval Squadron, a third Admiral would command the remaining ships and, as this section of the squadron was considered the least dangerous, the Admiral in command of the rear would typically be the most junior of the squadron Admirals. This has survived into the modern age, with the rank of Rear Admiral the first and junior-most of the Admiralty ranks.Okkkkkkkkkkkkkk, now what am I supposed to do back here
