Royal Admiral

Royal Admiral
The Royal Admiral is the naval equivalent of the Royal Commander in that he is the highest officer in and head of the Royal Navy. A member of the Royal Court, it is the King's prerogative to appoint whomever he wishes to the position, but it normally goes to an experienced senior officer in order to continue D'Angeline naval strength.

The Admiral serves to advise the Monarch on the Naval policy of the Realm, and for instituting the policies that the Monarch decides on. He oversees the deployment of fleets and task forces, and may command such missions personally although he does not have to.

The symbol of the admiral is a golden whistle worn around the neck on a gold chain. This is practical as well as symbolic, as the whistle is used by commanders on ships to signal orders. In addition on formal occasions the Royal Admiral may bear a blue baton capped with gold, displaying anemones and with the inscription in Old Tiberium  Terror belli, decus pacis.
