No Officer Outranks Dewey Amid Navy Pay Reform
In late congressional action the navy admiral receives the last general of the army’s pay and emoluments, effectively raising Admiral Dewey to 14500 per year. Of this, 13000 is regulation pay for an admiral with a 1500 allowance for quarters tied to the army general rate. Dewey thus holds the highest rank in U S military services and aligns with top foreign naval officers.
