Pertaining to fleets and admirals (5)

I believe the answer is:

naval

(Other definitions for naval that I've seen before include "Relating to warships" , "Of seaborne forces" , "Relates to nautical defence force" , "Relating to nautical defence forces" , "Relating to a nation's fleet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
