What a beautiful and important word - "admiral"! So noble and militant. Saying it, one immediately recalls Pavel Stepanovich Nakhimov, famous for his exploits and services to the country, Her Majesty's Admiral.
But what does the word "admiral" mean? And how well do you understand and use it? If you aspire to be literate and don't want to be seen as ignorant, you need to read this fascinating article. And everything will become clear to you!
The word "admiral": meaning
The word "admiral" is of Dutch origin. But, according to the dictionary of the fabulist Ivan Andreevich Krylov, this word comes from the Arabic "emir al bah." Which translates as "ruler / lord / master of the seas."
The Dutch modified it a little to make it easier to pronounce. And as a result, the Arabic word turned into the Dutch (admiraal).
In Russian, the word "admiral" (whose meaning is quite diverse) appeared thanks to the great Russian emperor Peter I, known for "cutting a window to Europe" and creating the Russian fleet.
The word has three meanings:
First, it denotes the rank, the rank (with several steps of growth) of the highest officers in the navy. Both in Russia and in many other countries.
Secondly, this is the name of the person who bears this title.
Thirdly, the type of diurnal butterflies (having a black-red-white color), which belong to the Nymphalidae family and live in European and Asian countries, is also called an admiral.
Who is an admiral?
So, admiral. The meaning of this word has Arabic roots. And it translates as "lord of the sea." A whole flotilla is subordinate to a person with this rank, therefore this title is both prestigious and very binding, responsible at the same time.
The rank of admiral has a certain hierarchy:
Rear Admiral. Commands one division, in the event of the death of a vice admiral, he takes his place at the head of a squadron consisting of three divisions.
Vice admiral. Provides command of the squadron.
Admiral. On his shoulders lies the leadership of the flotilla, which includes several squadrons.
Fleet Admiral. Chief in command, so his word determines the further outcome of events. Basically, the admiral of the fleet sits on the general staff.
The history of the origin of the title
Admiral is one of the oldest ranks, it appeared in the early Middle Ages on the territory of the Arab countries. Already in the XII century, this title came to Europe and became the naval equivalent (equal in status) to the title of general on land. But very soon he rose to field marshal.
In France, the "lords of the seas" were even appointed by the kings, with a special admiral's baton and their own flag, and their authority included the command of all the forces of the fleet.
How did the rank appear in Russia?
Admiral is a naval rank that was introduced into the Russian fleet by decree of Peter I back in 1706. The first Russian emperor built his fleet like the Dutch army. That is why the rank in its meaning was equated to a land general.
Also in the 19th century, a hierarchy of admiral rank appeared. The following titles were introduced:
rear admiral - major general;
vice admiral - lieutenant general.
In 1935, the Russian Navy also acquired this title. After that, the following titles were added:
fleet admiral;
Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union (until 1993. Now the Federation).

In December 2019, he was appointed Chief of the Main Staff of the Russian Navy - First Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy.
Most modern Russian military ranks appeared in the 18th century, with the formation of the first army on a regular basis. The main part of the merits for the creation of a single army and the emergence of a strict hierarchy of military ranks belongs to the great reformer - Emperor Peter I.
Rear Admiral - this title is firmly connected with the history of the formation and development of the Russian. How it appeared, what duties the person wearing this military rank performed - this will be discussed in our article.
The history of the title
Traditionally, in Russia, the fleet did not have a single leadership and was subordinate to two different departments. The fleet was first led by the Admiralty Board (XVIII century), and in the XIX century by the Naval Ministry. The Russian fleet had its own, different from other countries, system of military ranks.
In European countries, the highest in the fleet appeared in the 17th century, and in Russia a century later. These were: the admiral, who controlled the main forces of the fleet, the vice admiral, who occupied a lower level in the military hierarchy, and the rear admiral, the lowest rank in the leadership of the fleet. He usually commanded the rearguard.
These ranks replaced the obsolete navarch (commander of the fleet in ancient Greece) and drungaria (head of the imperial Byzantine fleet).
and Table of Ranks
The title "rear admiral" came from Holland. Peter I, visiting Amsterdam, not only learned to build ships, but also adopted the European military system. The prefix contra meant that in battle the admiral was at the head of the fleet, and the rear admiral occupied a position in the rearguard.
Some time in the 18th century, this title was replaced by the rank of schautbenacht, but then it was returned again.
In Russia, according to the Table of Ranks created by Peter the Great, the rank of Rear Admiral corresponded to Major General in the ground forces. Today, this primary admiral rank continues to exist in most armies of the world.
Now in the Navy, a rear admiral can command a squadron or be deputy commander of a flotilla.
In the USSR, the rank of Rear Admiral was established in 1940.
Decals
The main insignia of admirals for a long time was the number of buttons on the cuffs of the uniform.
The rear admiral wore one button each, and then everything went on increasing: the vice admiral had two, and the admiral three.
As an ornament, and at the same time as insignia, there were also strips of braid of different colors that ran diagonally across the uniform. Gold embroidery on the cuffs and collar also served to distinguish the ranks of naval officers.
Then, in 1807, epaulettes with gold and silver twisted cords were introduced as insignia.
After the revolution and during the years of the Civil War, the insignia and uniforms for both the ground forces and the navy changed several times. Sleeve flaps with stripes and galloons were used.
Modern insignia - shoulder straps - appear during the war, in 1943. At the same time, the word "officer" is also introduced.
Notable Rear Admirals of Russia
An outstanding Russian naval commander was Vladimir Ivanovich Istomin.
During the Crimean War, he distinguished himself in being under the command of the famous Admiral Nakhimov. For courage he received the rank of Rear Admiral. Together with Kornilov and Nakhimov, he was one of the leaders of the heavy defense of Sevastopol. During the defense of the city, he did not leave defensive positions and lived there, in a dugout. He died during an artillery shelling and was buried in the same crypt with other heroic defenders of the city.
The name of another brilliant Rear Admiral, Mikhail Nikolaevich Kumani, is associated with Sevastopol. In the rank of lieutenant he participated in the Crimean War. He served in the Baltic, the Caspian Sea and the Pacific Ocean. He received the rank of rear admiral and was soon appointed mayor of his native city of Sevastopol. In this post, Kumani, in a short time before his death, was able to do a lot: Primorsky Boulevard was completed, a yacht club was founded, a shelter for the disabled was opened, the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, which was badly damaged during the defense, was rebuilt, the city newspaper began to be published.
Women in the Navy
The weaker sex has long been actively involved in wars. In modern armies, female soldiers are a completely commonplace. But it should be noted that they rarely occupy high positions. Therefore, the example of the American Grace Hopper, who rose to the rank of Rear Admiral of the US Navy, is so famous.
In addition, she was an eminent scholar in the field of programming language development. She retired at the age of 79 and was at that time the oldest US naval officer.
A large number of different objects are named in her honor. The street, park, buildings bear the name. 4 years after she left this world, a new missile frigate "Hopper", named after "amazing Grace", was launched into the water. The example of this amazing woman shows that not only men can successfully serve in the Navy and achieve a high rank and respect.
