In 2017 the USN will have 221 admirals of various ranks and that will rise to 225 in 2018.
Meh, the British during the time of empire had so many admirals lying around that they didn't have ships to give them, and had to invent a flag rank "of the Yellow" to appoint those without command and stuck at home to.
Actually the number is the exact same that the UK had in Eighteen and Twelve, the year Nelson finally got his man.
