Editing Counter admiral

{{Short description|Rank found in many navies of the world}}
{{Navalranks}}
'''Counter admiral''' is a [[military rank|rank]] found in many navies of the world, but no longer used in [[English-speaking countries]], where the equivalent rank is [[rear admiral]]. The term derives from the French {{lang|fr|contre-amiral}}.<ref name=oxford>{{cite dictionary |encyclopedia =Oxford English Dictionary|title=counter-admiral |edition=Second|year=1989|access-date=22 June 2011|url=http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/42655|quote= The only known use of the noun '''''counter-admiral''''' is in the late 1700s.  OED's only evidence for ''counter-admiral'' is from around 1789–96, in the writing of [[Jedidiah Morse]], geographer and clergyman.  ''counter-admiral'' is a borrowing from French.  Etymons: French ''contre-amiral''.}}</ref> Depending on the country, it is either a [[One-star rank|one-star]] or [[two-star rank]].

In modern navies that use it, counter admiral is generally, although not always, the lowest [[flag officer]] rank.  In the [[German Navy]], for instance, {{Lang|de|[[Flottillenadmiral]]}} ranks below {{Lang|de|Konteradmiral}}; in the [[Royal Canadian Navy]], {{lang|fr|contre-amiral}} (rear admiral in English) ranks above {{lang|fr|[[Commodore (rank)|commodore]]}}.

==French speaking countries==

In France and other French speaking countries' navies the rank of {{lang|fr|Contre-amiral}} is used as the lowest [[flag officer]]. It is usually placed above [[ship-of-the-line captain]] ({{langx|fr|capitaine de vaisseau}}) and below [[Vice admiral#France|vice admiral]] ({{langx|fr|vice-amiral}}).

==Germany==
{{Main article|Konteradmiral|List of German admirals}}
{{lang|de|[[Konteradmiral]]}} is a NATO OF-7 (two-star rank) of the {{lang|de|[[Deutsche Marine]]}} (German Navy), equivalent to the {{lang|de|[[Generalmajor]]}} ("major general") in the [[German Army]] and the [[German Air Force]].

==Nordic countries==
{{expand section|date=October 2021}}
The rank of counter admiral is used in all the [[Nordic countries]].
===Denmark and Norway===
In 1771, the rank of {{lang|nl|[[Schout-bij-nacht]]}} was removed and replaced with the rank of counter admiral (Danish/Norwegian: {{lang|da|kontreadmiral}}).<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |author1=C. B-h. |editor1-last=Blangstrup |editor1-first=Christian |encyclopedia=Salmonsens Konversationsleksikon |date=1926 |publisher=A/S J. H.

=== Finland===
Counter admiral is the more direct translation of Finnish {{lang|fi|kontra-amiraali}}, a [[two-star rank]] used in the [[Finnish Navy]] and the [[Finnish Border Guard]]. However, it is usually translated as rear admiral in international use.

===Sweden===
{{main|Rear admiral (Sweden)}}

==Portuguese speaking countries==
In the [[Brazilian Navy|navies of Brazil]] and Angola the rank of ''contra-almirante'' is the lowest of the flag officer ranks. In the [[Portuguese Navy|navies of Portugal]] and Mozambique the rank of ''contra-almirante'' is the second lowest, above that of ''comodoro'' ([[commodore (rank)|commodore]]).

Until the end of the 19th century, the present rank of ''contra-almirante'' was named ''chefe de esquadra'' (chief of squadron), both in the Portuguese and in the Brazilian navies.

==Russia and other former communist countries==
''Kontr-admiral'' was the lowest flag officer rank of the [[Soviet Navy]] and is the lowest flag rank of the [[Russian Navy]], similar to an OF-6 officer.

==NATO code==
While the rank of counter admiral is used in a number of NATO countries, it is ranked differently depending on the country.
