Navarch
Navarch is a Greek word meaning "leader of the ships," which in some states became the title of an office equivalent to that of a modern admiral. Not all states gave their naval commanders such a title; Athens, for instance, placed its fleet under the command of generals (strategoi) holding the same title as those who commanded its land forces.
