Canaris was Chief of the Abwehr[ German Military Intelligence], and held no sea commands in WW II.

Yes, but what does that have to do with who was among the best flag officers of the war?

The Abwehr was one of the MOST ineffective organizations of WWII [aside from a few successes like “North Pole”]. And considering that Canaris and some of his underlings were actively engaged in betraying their country to the Allies, I find it odd you would consider him among the “best flag officers of the war”.
