Also in the same episode was about the Navy having only four capital ships so in theory they only needed four admirals and an admiral of the fleet.

'How many admirals do we have?'

'60.'

You think that politicians of today (and every day) should be made to watch this stuff!
That depends on where you get your figures from, I've seen the number of Admirals qouted at 41 and vessels at 40 but I've seen the number of vessels as high as 79
