Just for kicks I looked it up. As of 2014 there were 33 admirals in the Royal Navy. You could put one admiral aboard every ship, and still have some left over to run diversity training workshops on shore.

Amazing. And I read they also have more Generals than tanks. Their forces are only a bare shell of what we all remember from the 80s.
