MosT of the navy titles that differ
from army titles explain themselves.
Ensign is an old title obsolete in the
land for' es, but still preserved in the
army. Admiral comes to us from the
Spanish, who borrowed it from the
Arabic amiralbarrh, commander at
sea. Commodore is corruption of the
Spanish and Portuguese commentator,
a knight, a commander, so our two
highest naval titles come from the Ge-
spised Iberian peninsula.
