==Trivia== | |||
*The name comes from the old sailing times. For large fleets, the "Rear Admiral" would be in charge of commanding ships at the rear. | |||
*Rear Admirals were formed from the former rank of Commodore, which fell out of use in the 19th and 20th centuries. Commodores typically led small sized battlegroups of ships, although Captains could also perform this role in the absence of a flag officer. | |||
