... what is the absolute highest rank in the Navy? And where does a Rear Admiral fit in the echelon?
You've never failed me yet.

Well military rocket scientits made tow grades of Rear Admiral 0-7 lower grade and stripe solid(one star Admiral), then a year later qualify for 0-8 upper half more senior and next in line to Vice Admiral (two stars). (like a Lieutenant COL, & COL). and solid stripe with one small stripe on collar.
Similarto enlisted ranks Chief Petty Officer(CPO), Master Chief Petty Officer MCPO) and Senior Chief Petty Officer SCPO - each as different rate 07/08/09 each step up more money
Not sure how many of them are left handed or right handed 
Hope that helps with the LH/UH question

Chester W. Nimitz, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Douglas A. McArthur, George C. Marshall and very few others attained the 5-star rank. Can't remember if Halsey became a 5-star.
I probably got the army flag ranks wrong.

Swap the Army O-8 and O-10:
O-8 - Rear Admiral Upper Half (Army Major General) **
O-9 - Vice Admiral (Army Lieutenant General) ***
O-10 - Admiral (Army General) ****
Yeah, you'd think Lt.Gen would be Junior to MGen, but not in our US Army/Air Force/Marine Corps
