Editing Vice admiral

'''Vice Admiral''' is a [[flag officer]] [[rank]], senior to a [[rear admiral]] but junior to [[admiral]]. It is equivalent to the rank of [[lieutenant general]].

Officers holding the rank of vice admiral are sometimes referred to as "three-stars" {{ep|{{Baldwin}}|The Find|Baldwin}}

The Hydran equivalent to a vice admiral is a ''second admiral''. {{ep|{{Bouteina}}|High Priestess of Evacuation}}

The [[Rihan]] translation for the rank was ''erei'enriov''. ({{B&S}}: ''[[Saith Daepahr hrrafv Llaiirevha]]'' glossary)
