		Rear admiral is a flag officer rank used by naval organizations, traditionally between the grades of commodore and vice admiral.

		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.

	Flag Officers of the U.S. Navy
		As with the admiral's flag, there was a red version with white stars from 1915 to 1940 to indicate a junior vice admiral in the presence of a senior.
		The commodore's distinguishing mark came to be a "broad pennant"(or, as it was spelled until the mid-nineteenth century, "pendant") a pennant that was wider and shorter than the narrow pennant (commission pennant), the distinctive mark of a warship that is not commanded by a flag officer.
		The staff on which the admiral's flag is flown and the staff for the ensign in the stern of the boat are topped with the appropriate finial for the admiral's rank, either a spread eagle or a halberd.

	H.R. 4251, The Maritime Transportation Amendments Of 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Under current law, an officer’s term of service begins on the date on which the rank of rear admiral or rear admiral (lower half) is conferred rather than the actual date of appointment to the position of rear admiral or rear admiral (lower half).
		Under the service’s “running mate” system that matches the promotion schedules for active and reserve officers, a reserve officer is often assigned the rank of rear admiral or rear admiral (lower half) in coordination with the appointment of his or her running mate to that rank.
		However, reserve officers may not be appointed to the position of rear admiral before a vacancy is created at that rank and the small size of the reserve officer corps results in fewer vacancy availabilities than occurs in the active officer corps.
