From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a complete list of four-star admirals in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. The rank of admiral (or full admiral, or four-star admiral), ranks above vice admiral (three-star admiral) and is the highest rank achievable in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.
There have been six four-star admirals in the history of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. All six were directly commissioned into the regular corps. One was already an officer in the regular corps and the other five were originally civilians who were appointed to the regular corps and to grade upon taking office.
