The word Admiral has today come to be almost exclusively associated with the highest naval rank in most of the world's navies, equivalent to the Army rank of (Full) General.
Admiral of the Navy was only ever held by one US Officer; in 1945, the U.S. Navy considered creating the equivalent rank of Flag Admiral, but nothing came of the proposal.

  Port Admiral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Port Admiral was not an actual Admiral, but typically a veteran Captain who served as the shore commander of a British Naval Port and was in charge of supplying, refitting, and maintaining the ships docked at harbour.
As the Port Admiral technically had control of a fleet of ships, albeit mostly in drydock and layup, the position was granted the status of a Navy Admiral.
The most powerful Port Admiral of the 18th and 19th century British Navy was the Port Admiral of Portsmouth, considered the leading harbour of the Royal Navy.

 The Battle of the Yellow Sea
Admiral Vitgeft felt that just staying at anchor and contributing some of his armament to the land battle was the safest course to follow, and that's exactly what he proposed backed up by his flag officers and captains.
The Siberian port was less protected than Port Arthur and had no coal for the ships, but from the existent military aspect a new campaign in that area would have overtaxed the resources of Field Marshal Oyama.
The result was not merely the death of Vitgeft, of whom all that was later found was a part of one leg, but the death or incapacitation of every one else on the bridge or in the conning tower beneath it.
