Vicealmirante

Vicealmirante is a naval rank equivalent to vice admiral in English-speaking navies. It is a senior flag officer rank, typically holding a position below admiral and above contraalmirante (rear admiral). Officers holding this rank are usually responsible for significant naval commands, such as a fleet, a naval region, or a major operational staff. The specific duties and responsibilities can vary depending on the navy and country in question. In many naval hierarchies, the vicealmirante serves as a deputy to a higher-ranking admiral or commands a substantial portion of a nation's naval power. The rank signifies extensive experience, leadership capabilities, and a deep understanding of naval strategy and operations. The insignia and specific responsibilities associated with the rank of vicealmirante are determined by the regulations of each individual navy.
