The first thing we are going to do, before proceeding to determine the meaning of the term admiral, is to discover its etymological origin. In this case, it is a word that derives from Arabic, specifically, it comes from \"amir\" which can be translated as \"chief\" or \"commander\".<\/p>\n

Admiral<\/strong> is a degree of the Navy<\/strong>. Its about general officer<\/strong> who has a rank equivalent to that of a general in the army<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Admiral\"The etymology of the concept makes the notion of admiral used in reference to a \"Commander of the sea\"<\/em>. Ferdinand III of Castile<\/strong>, King of Castile and Leon<\/strong> who ruled in the thirteenth century<\/strong>, was the first to use said dignity<\/strong>. Over the years, the admirals began to have more powers and responsibilities.<\/p>\n

The admiral of Castile<\/strong> and the admiral of Andalusia<\/strong> they were the first admirals. Today, the general officers of most of the navies are known as admirals.<\/p>\n

Throughout history there have been important admirals who have played an important role in it for different reasons. Specifically, among the most significant we can highlight, for example, these:
-Admiral Topete (1821 - 1885). Juan Bautista Topete y Carballo was the full name of this Spanish sailor and military man who is part of the Spanish Armada and who has gone down in history as a hero of the War of the Pacific, where Spain faced Chile and Peru. In addition, he was a minister and President of the Council of Ministers.
-Admiral Barroso (1804 - 1882). His full name was Francisco Manuel Barroso da Silva and he was an important Brazilian sailor who fought both in the War of the Triple Alliance and in the Brazilian War.
-Admiral Nelson (1758 - 1805). Horacio Nelson, 1st Duke of Bront\u00e9, was a distinguished member of the British Royal Navy. He stood out, above all, for the victories he achieved for his country during the so-called Napoleonic Wars. During many of them he received injuries of varying severity, noting that he not only lost an arm but also lost the sight of one of his eyes. He died during the well-known Battle of Trafalgar. <\/p>\n

On countries<\/strong> What Argentina<\/strong> Y chili<\/strong>, the admiralty is made up of various grades: from commodore<\/strong> it amounts to rear admiral<\/strong>, then vice admiral<\/strong> and finally he becomes admiral. On Spain<\/strong>, you can be promoted from admiral to admiral general<\/strong>, although the highest grade is captain general of the navy<\/strong>, position held by King<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

David robinson<\/strong>, a basketball player (basketball<\/strong>) who retired from professional activity in 2003<\/strong>, is known as \"The Admiral\"<\/strong>. This nickname is because Robinson<\/strong> I study in the United States Naval Academy<\/strong> and it was part of the Marine<\/strong>. In any case, he never reached the rank of admiral, but was a lieutenant.<\/p>\n

He also obtained two gold medals in Olympic Games<\/strong> (Barcelona 1992<\/strong> Y Atlanta 1996<\/strong>) and was champion of world<\/strong> from Basketball<\/strong> on 1986<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
