Admiral (Sweden)
Admiral is a naval rank in Sweden. According to current practice only royals and the Supreme Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces, if he were to come from the Swedish Navy, can hold the rank of a full, four star, Admiral in Sweden. The lower admiral's ranks currently existing are: Vice admiral, Rear admiral and Rear admiral /Flotilla admiral. The rank of Rear admiral /Flotilla Admiral was added on 1 July 2000, and simultaneously promotions to the rank Kommendör av 1. graden were discontinued. One to three star admirals are all addressed as "admiral" in daily speech.
