With the retirement of Admiral Turnet and the re-establishment of the rank of admiral, the [[Department of Defense]] (DoD) specified that "the rank of Chief of Naval Operations, a four-star admiral of the Vinish Navy, shall be considered the senior most rank of the Vinish Navy". In 2022, the [[Department of the Navy]] (DON) issued a statement that states a new rank would be established with Admiral Turnet coming out of retirement to assist in the war efforts against [[Wilden]]. The [[Secretary of Defense]] (SECDEF) then issued a statement that the rank of a five-star admiral, [[Fleet Admiral]], would be established for wartimes. As of now, Admiral Turnet, once again, is the only [[Flag Officer|flag officer]] to acquire this honorable rank. | With the retirement of Admiral Turnet and the re-establishment of the rank of admiral, the [[Department of Defense]] (DoD) specified that "the rank of Chief of Naval Operations, a four-star admiral of the Vinish Navy, shall be considered the senior most rank of the Vinish Navy".

As [[Vindex National Congress|Congress]] was trying to create the rank of fleet admiral in 2022, the Navy wanted to re-establish and elevate Admiral of the Navy to an active six-star admiral position, the equivalent to [[Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces]], but it could not legally do so without a [[Congressional Act|congressional act]]. Congress passed the approval of the creation of the rank of fleet admiral, without re-establishing the rank of Admiral of the Navy. As such, the rank remained nonexistent. By mid-2022, the Navy concluded that the rank was honorary. And while it held to the belief that the rank was equivalent to Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, the Navy amended its regulations to establish fleet admiral as its highest achievable rank, during wartime, adhering to the standard set by the law. | As [[Vindex National Congress|Congress]] was trying to create the rank of fleet admiral in 2022, the Navy wanted to re-establish and elevate Admiral of the Navy to an active six-star admiral position, the equivalent to [[Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces]], but it could not legally do so without a [[Congressional Act|congressional act]].
