He was an Admiral of the Navy (six stars, the same as George Washington and Black Jack Pershing).
He was the Commander of the US naval victories against the Spanish in the Philippines. He commanded the US Navy's Asiatic Squadron in the Pacific and received a warning order from the Secretary of the Navy that War with Spain was imminent and to assemble and re-coal in Hong Kong and prepare to engage the Spanish Navy at Manila Bay.
No. Lieutenant commander is an O-4, the equivalent of Major in the other branches. A commander is O-5, same as a lieutenant colonel in the other branches. Equivalent ranks, navy given first: O-1 Ensign - Second Lieutenant O-2 Lieutenant junior grade - First Lieutenant O-3 Lieutenant - Captain O-4 Lieutenant commander - Major O-5 Commander - Lieutenant colonel O-6 Captain - Colonel O-7 Rear admiral, lower half - Brigadier general O-8 Rear admiral, upper half - Major general O-9 Vice Admiral - Lieutenant general O-10 Admiral - General O-11 there have only been ten officers of this rank, all WWII commanders - Admiral of the Fleet - General of the Army Some claim that General Pershing and George Washington (by posthumous congressional action) held six-star rank, as General of the Armies. During Washington's service he was a Lieutenant general.
Currently, Russia has a sole carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov. It used to have six in its prime.
It is an approximately six month long deployment by a navy ship in the WESTern PACific.

He never retired, but he was the only US six star Admiral.
There is no rank like this in the Navy. The largest number of stripes would be a Fleet Admiral with four thin and one thick gold strip. A diagonal slash mark is an enlisted award for good conduct and there could be six of them.
The Army, Air Force and Marine Corps ranks for General (Flag) officers are: Brigadier General (one star) Major General (two stars) Lieutenant General (three stars) General (four stars) Ergo, the rank "above" Lieutenant General is General.

The first one that comes to mind is the Star of David (Jewish Star).
At least six that were full dress. Bedroom Admiral- six solid I Half inch stripes.

Generals and Admirals have equal ranks. Generals serve in the Army, Air Force and Marine Corps. Admiral is the equivalent rank in the Navy and Coast Guard.There are different ranks for Generals and Admirals with different designations.Here are the current ranks, the number of stars and the service equivalency:one star - Brigadier General = Rear Admiral (lower half)two stars - Major General = Rear Admiral (upper half)three stars - Lieutenant General = Vice Admiralfour stars - General = Admiralfive stars - General of the Army = Fleet AdmiralThe only official five star officers all served during World War II and reached their rank either during or after the war.There are other officers that held higher rank. All the five star officers of WW II were acknowledged to be junior to John J. (Blackjack) Pershing who commanded American forces in World War I. Some consider is rank as six stars, his official rank was General of the Armies of the United States.George Dewey reached the rank of Admiral of the Navy after the Spanish American War and some consider him a six star Admiral.There is one final rank. Congress passed a law in 1978 that declared that George Washington is the highest ranking officer to ever have served, or will ever serve in the US Military. Washington's highest rank was actually Lieutenant General in the regular army and General of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. This effectively makes George Washington a seven star General.
