How to Say "fleet commander" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “fleet commander” is “almirante” — B2 level.
Examples

The admiral gave the order for the entire fleet to set sail.

The admiral (female) is responsible for the naval strategy in the Atlantic.
Ascendieron al capitán al rango de almirante después de la misión exitosa.
They promoted the captain to the rank of admiral after the successful mission.
Gender Consistency
Even though 'almirante' ends in '-e', which often suggests neutrality, it is treated as a masculine noun. However, when referring to a woman, you change the article: 'el almirante' (the male admiral) vs. 'la almirante' (the female admiral).
Using the Feminine Ending
Mistake: “Using *almiranta* to refer to a female admiral.”
Correction: The correct modern usage is *la almirante*. While *almiranta* exists historically or in some informal uses, stick to *la almirante* for official titles.
