open-in-new
<p>Navarch, Navarchus or Nauarchus is an <a href="/facts/Anglicisation/0xS2Rc6w">Anglicisation</a> of a Greek word meaning "<a href="/facts/Archon/y5baFucm">archon</a> (leader) of the ships", which in some states became the title of an office equivalent to that of a modern <a href="/facts/Admiral/yVklo91m">admiral</a>. Also this status was very valuable in Ancient Greece. </p>
