In peace time there are 4 differnet Admiral ranks. Admiral (4 star), Vice Admiral (3 star), Rear Admiral Upper half (2 star), and Rear Admiral lower half (1 star).
What i dont know is what are the different duties of each Admiral. Is one a desk job? Who is the head of a fleet? Baiscly what the job of a Admiral vs a Vice Admiral vs Rear Admiral?

Ranks and assignments or jobs are two different things. While certainly related they will be commanding either deparments such as perhaps, medical, land based facilities, research or planning. Others will be commanding different groups of ships.

The United States has more General Officers now than on D-Day when there were 14,ooo,ooo men in uniform. We have General/ Admirals doing jobs that were once done by enlisted men.
