  1. ↑ In Honorverse canon, High Admiral is a billet (i.e., a position or duty), not a rank, much as the 1st Space Lord is a billet, not a rank. For the purposes of The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc. organizational structure, the position of High Admiral is designated as F-6 and the person holding the position is authorized to display this unique rank insignia. This insignia and rank is solely for TRMN's purposes and is NOT canon to the Honorverse.
  2. ↑ Per the House of Steel errata sheet from BuNine, the highest canonical rank in the GSN is Fleet Admiral (F-5). Sources: https://forums.trmn.org/viewtopic.php?p=46693#p46693 and https://forums.trmn.org/viewtopic.php?p=46708#p46708; the latter includes the errata sheet PDF.
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 Canonically, flag officers wear the same devices on their uniform shirt collars as on their shoulder boards. However, in The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc., they do not.
