An admiral is the commander of a fleet. In the navy, admiral is one of the highest ranks. While a captain is in charge of one ship, an admiral leads more than one ship: a bunch of ships, which are called a fleet.
The after part of the fleet was the third senior officer, and was naturally the “rear admiral” since he commanded the rear of the fleet. A commodore, formally an actual rank in the U.S. Navy but not in the Royal Navy, was any senior officer in command of more than a single ship, but less than a fleet.
