m the grade of rear admiral below him on the lineal list becomes equal 
to or greater than the number of such officers above him on the lineal

this subsection but dies before he exercises it, that right or entitlement 
accrues to and may be exercised by his surviving dependents, or his 
baggage and household effects may be shipped to the home of the 
person legally entitled thereto if there are no surviving dependents.
