Then [[CDR]] Nicholas Hurst was appointed as the second High Admiral of the Grayson Space Navy in 2012. He focused his tenure on working to find ways to increase participation within the correspondence chapters. He developed a computer-processed baseball league, where he had ships playing against each other, and encouraged the use of online games as qualifiers for [[marksmanship]] awards, a system still in use. Unfortunately, he too was obliged to step down for personal reasons in 2014 but continued to maintain the Baseball League. Later he would go on to build the Grayson meeting chapters in the United States.

The third High Admiral of the Grayson Space Navy was Thomas Siadak, being appointed to the position in 2014. He presided over a period of growth for the [[GSN]], working with BuNine and then [[CAPT]] Zachary White to finalize the Grayson Space Navy Uniform Manual. Additionally, he worked to expand the fleet; greatly expanding the number of chapters in the [[GSN]] and championing the switch from "correspondence" and "meeting" chapters to all chapters being treated equally in the organization. His expansion program had resulted in [[GSN]] chapters being stood up in the AOR of other fleets, and as such 4th Fleet was reorganized from its original composition of the Grayson Space Navy catch-all, to focus on the UK and Erie. As a result, his tenure saw the decoupling of the Office of the High Admiral from that of the 4th Fleet, and the appointment of the first 4th Fleet Commander. Up until this point, the High Admiral was also the 4th Fleet Commander. For his efforts, he was created [[Steadholder]] [[Henesy]] in 2017.

In January 2018, [[Steadholder]] [[Henesy]] retired and the incumbent Chief of Naval Operations, David Melsome, [[Steadholder]] [[Maelstromm]], was appointed as the fourth High Admiral of the Grayson Space Navy. High Admiral [[Maelstromm]] used his tenure to increase participation within the [[GSN]] and founded the Blue Coconut Bar, a virtual hang-out for [[GSN]] personnel. Health complications unfortunately shortened his tenure, and he stepped down in May of 2018, the shortest tenure as High Admiral in organizational history.
