Vice admiral (United States)
In the United States Navy, the United States Coast Guard, the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps, and the United States Maritime Service, vice admiral (VADM) is a three-star flag officer, with the pay grade of O-9. Vice admiral ranks above rear admiral and below admiral. Vice admiral is equivalent to the rank of lieutenant general in the other uniformed services.
==Statutory limits==
U.S. Code of law explicitly limits the total number of vice admirals that may be on active duty at any given time. The total number of active-duty flag officers is capped at 160 for the Navy.〔(10 USC 526. Authorized strength: general and flag officers on active duty )〕 For the Navy, no more than 16.7% of the service's active-duty flag officers may have more than two stars.〔() 10 USC 525. Distribution of commissioned officers on active duty in general officer and flag officer grades.〕〔() Pub.L. 110-181: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008〕〔() Pub.L. 110-181: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 full text〕 Some of these slots are reserved by statute. For example the Surgeon General of the United States Navy 〔() 10 USC 5137. Bureau of Medicine and Surgery: Chief; Deputy Chief.〕 is a vice admiral. The Judge Advocate General of the Navy 〔〔 is a vice admiral in the Navy or a lieutenant general in the Marine Corps; the Surgeon General of the United States 〔() 42 USC 207. Grades, ranks, and titles of commissioned corps.〕 is also vice admiral in the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. Officers serving in certain intelligence positions are not counted against either limit, including the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.〔() 10 USC 528. Officers serving in certain intelligence positions: military status; exclusion from distribution and strength limitations; pay and allowances〕 The Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy is usually always a vice admiral, either upon nomination or shortly thereafter. The President may also add vice admirals to the Navy if they are offset by removing an equivalent number of three-star officers from other services.〔 Finally, all statutory limits may be waived at the President's discretion during time of war or national emergency.〔() 10 USC 527. Authority to suspend sections 523, 525, and 526.〕
