	Rear Admiral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rear Admiral is a naval commissioned officer rank that originated from the days of Naval Sailing Squadrons and can trace its origins to the British Royal Navy.
		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.
		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.

	Admiral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Admiral is a word from the Arabic term Amir-al-bahr (commander of the sea).
		As the word was used by people speaking Latin or Latin-based languages it gained the "d" and endured a series of different endings and spellings leading to the English spelling "admyrall" in the 14th century and to "admiral" by the 16th century.
		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 rank of (Full) General.
