Flag of the Chief of Naval Operations
The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) is the senior military officer in the United States Navy. The CNO is an admiral (four-star) and is responsible to the Secretary of the Navy for the command, utilization of resources and operating efficiency of the operating forces of the Navy and of the Navy shore activities assigned by the Secretary. The CNO has administrative, rather than operational command authority over United States naval forces.[1]

The Chief of Naval Operations is a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is the principal naval adviser to the President and to the Secretary of the Navy on the conduct of war.[1] The Chief of Naval Operations is appointed by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. A requirement for being Chief of Naval Operations is having significant experience in joint duty assignments, which includes at least one full tour of duty in a joint duty assignment as a flag officer.[2]
