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.
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.
