  1. war admiral

    A War Admiral, in general terminology, doesn't have a specific definition as it tends to blend two different terms: "war" (a state of armed conflict) and "admiral" (a high rank in the navy). However, it's commonly recognized as the name of a famous American racehorse. War Admiral was the fourth horse to win the American Triple Crown in 1937, and is known for his rivalry with Seabiscuit. If you're referring to a military context, an admiral engaged in war could colloquially be called a "war admiral".
