Not quite right on the US Flag ranks.

                     Army                   Navy
One Star   - Brigadier General    Rear Admiral (lower half)
Two Star   - Major General        Rear Admiral (upper half)
Three Star - Lieutenant General   Vice Admiral
Four Star  - General              Admiral
Five Star  - General of the Army  Fleet Admiral

During WWII, the British promoted Montgomery from Full General to Field Marshal, he then out-ranked his boss, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces - General Eisenhower. Congress was thinking of just copying the Field Marshal rank, however the Army Chief of Staff General Marshall did not wish to be known as “Marshal Marshall”, so the Five Star Army rank title became “General of the Army”.

The last officer promoted to the Five Star General of the Army rank was Omar Bradley in 1950. The US has had no active duty Five Star since “General of the Army” Bradley died in 1981.

[Alas Babylon!]

There is one who is the General of the Armies (six star).

Hint: It’s historic.
