Does This Seem Like A Lot Of Admirals?

In 2017 the USN will have 221 admirals of various ranks and that will rise to 225 in 2018.

Meanwhile,

that 274 ships contains a fair number of support ships and the navy also counts as "commissioned" the square-rigged tourist attraction in Boston Harbor, the USS Constitution.

Does every ship need its own admiral?  Or are we watching "grade-creep" in action?
