	Admiral - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Admirals, also known generally as flag officers, were typically responsible for a high level military command at battle group or fleet level, and/or for administrative and political duties relating to naval operations.
		Thus, while it is known that an admiral was graded 'C-1' and regarded as equivalent to a general in the chain of command, it may be that this definition in fact extended to all New Republic flag officers.
		Also, the lack of categorical references to full Admirals in the navies of the Rebel Alliance and New Republic cannot be countermanded by appeal to real-world standards: as the evolution of flag ranks in the United States Navy shows, scenarios are possible in which only part of the usual hierarchy of Admirals' ranks is used.

	Flag Officer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Canadian Forces, a Flag Officer (French: Officier général, "general officer") is the naval equivalent of a General Officer of the army or air force, and comprises the ranks of Commodore, Rear-Admiral, Vice-Admiral, and Admiral.
		A Flag Officer's rank is denoted by a wide strip of gold braid on the cuff of the Service Dress tunic; one to four gold maple leafs over crossed sword and baton, all beneath a Royal crown, on slip-ons or epaulets; and two rows of gold oak leaves on the peak of the Service Cap.
		For example, Commander-in-Chief Fleet flies an Admiral's flag whether ashore or afloat and is, therefore, a "flag officer"; his Chief of Staff (Support), a Rear-Admiral, is not entitled to fly a flag and is, therefore, only an "officer of flag rank".

		This flag is given by Siegel (1912) as the Admiral's flag, 1828-1880, after 1880, flag of the Großadmiral.
		At that time, the continued use of the (1894-1915) flags was for the time being authorized and it appears that the new flags were never actually used by the time of the dissolution of the k.u.k.
		The flag was adopted in 1874 (Lehnert (1886) says 1880, but is apparently incorrect, at least as far as the date of adoption is concerned; possibly there was a period before it was actually used).

		It is acceptable to call all admirals by the title of "Admiral", as the difference in the rank is not that great.
		Vice admirals are often involved in a variety of roles, ranging from diplomatic and scientific to traditional planning and organizational tasks.
		Commander of an operational fleet of approximately dozen ships, the Rear Admirals perform tasks of the admiralty that involves more of a "local" nature, limited to a more specific astrographical location, such as a sector, quadrant, etc. Often they are also the starbase commanders.

	US NAVY RANK FLAGS (HISTORICAL)
		The 1865 admirals' rank flags were blue with stars corresponding to rank at the upper hoist, though by 1867 the design had been altered to enlarge the stars and center them on the field of the flag.
		Rank was indicated from the mast from which the flag was flown: at the main by admirals, at the fore by vice admirals and at the mizzen by rear admirals.
		The 1865 regulations had stipulated blue, red and white flags for rear admirals to indicate seniority when two or more flag officers of that rank were present, and this system was continued after 1876.
