Someone explained to me that for a while the Navy didn't have O-7s at all, which caused problems because the big jump from O-6 to O-8 was hard to make. So they re-instituted Commodores, but that sounded wimpyer than Brig. Gen. They finally make O-7s a form of Admiral, so the set of ranks labelled Admiral would be the same as the set labelled General.
