While the provision for the rank of [[Admiral of the Fleet]] exists, it is primarily intended for major wartime use and honour. No officer of the Indian Navy has yet been conferred this rank. Both the [[Indian Army|Army]] and [[Indian Air Force|Air Force]] have had officers who have been conferred with the equivalent rank – [[Field Marshal (India)|Field Marshals]] [[Sam Manekshaw]] and [[Kodandera Madappa Cariappa|Cariappa]] of the Army and [[Marshal of the Air Force#India|Marshal of the Indian Air Force (MIAF)]] [[Arjan Singh]].<ref name="Did You Know That Only 3 People Have Been Given The Highest Ranks In The Indian Armed Forces?" /> | |||
