Port Admiral (science fiction)
- Port Admiral (science fiction)
The rank of Port Admiral (based on the actual title of Port Admiral in the Royal Navy) appears in science fiction in futuristic military organisations.
In the Lensman novels, the rank of Port Admiral appeared as the most senior naval officer of the Galactic Patrol, with de facto supreme command over its forces. Three specific Port Admirals were mentioned by name: Roderick K. Kinnison, the first Port Admiral and ancestor of series protagonist Kimball Kinnison; Port Admiral Haynes, who commanded the Patrol during Kimball Kinnison's early career and was a mentor and father figure to him; and Raoul Laforge, an Academy classmate and friend of Kinnison's who had replaced the retired Haynes by the time of the last novel.
In the Starfire universe, a Fleet Admiral (five-star admiral) holds the position of Port Admiral, presiding over The Yard, the Terran Federation's largest and most important naval base and shipyard.
