56 Saudi cadets!? Almost all their junior officers are trained by PN? We only trained 102 of our own? PN Academy if basically PN and RSNF Academy. Also 7 Qatari officers is probably most of the Qatari Navy's intake.

Just a wikipedia link? nothing in your own words? Anyway not to beat about the bush, it is wrong to say not all are flag rank since generally that means 2-star officers and above so actuslly all of them are flag rank officers.

And if you paid attention I never said anything about flag rank or not, I only mentioned 2 or 3 star officers.

However, sine you pointed to wikipedia, I also found this link

It shows how many admirals Pak navy has and in what capacity. To be honest I am surprised to learn that there are only 4 vice-admirals. This is much less than I expected.

The Wiki link is 100%b accurate in this regards, it is military terminology, Flag Rank = Star officer. Your ignorance on this matter is not my problem, it's yours.
