It's not a Navy or Coast Guard Admiral - its a US Public Health Service Admiral.

Today's trivia facts courtesy of the freak show: There are EIGHT US uniformed services that have commissioned officers and a rank structure:
U.S. Army.
U.S. Marine Corps.
U.S. Navy.
U.S. Air Force.
U.S. Space Force.
U.S. Coast Guard.
U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps.
