Admiral (Bengali: এ্যাডমিরাল, romanized: Admiral) is a four-star commissioned naval flag officer rank in the Bangladesh Navy. It is the highest achieved rank in the Bangladesh Navy. Admiral ranks above the three-star rank of Vice Admiral. The rank is denoted as a full-fledged Admiral to extricate subordinate officers like Vice Admiral and Rear Admiral which are also flag officers.
The rank was established in 2016, when Admiral M. Farid Habib was promoted to this rank.[1] The Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) is the only officer awarded the rank.
