Has there been a Five Pip Boxed Admiral in Canon? I don't think I've seen one. But has there been an Admiral Refered to as Fleet Admiral? In my recollection, I don't think so. However, if there is, then I am mistaken and hereby retrack my previous statement; but until then I shall go on with my statement. Therefore I go by a more modern rank systems (which have been around for the last 175 years or so):[*] Rear Admiral (Lower Half)/Commodore<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Drifter:
The admirals of Star Trek confuse me a touch. In times of war, I think there should also be a fleet admiral. As well, I think there should be varying degrees of admiral at any other time. So, here is my proposed version of admirals in Starfleet:
Rear Admiral
Vice Admiral
Admiral
Fleet Admiral

[**] Rear Admiral (Upper Half)
[***] Vice Admiral
[****] Admiral
But what happened to that Admiral rank that they were messing around with in the early TNG? You know, the one that tappered of with like 9 pips, each one getting smaller as the triangle got smaller.
