A peculiar usage of the term captain general arose in the Spanish [[Navy]] of the 16th century. A ''capitán-captain general'' was appointed by the king as the leader of a fleet (although the term '[[Squadron (naval)|squadron]]' is more appropriate, as most galleon fleets rarely consisted of more than a dozen vessels, not counting escorted merchantmen), with full jurisdictional powers. The fleet [[second-in-command]] was the 'almirante' (admiral), an officer appointed by the capitan-general and responsible for the seaworthiness of the squadron.<ref>"Spanish{{cite Galleon:book 1530–1690" by|last1=Konstam |first1=Angus Konstam,|title=Spanish copyrightGalleon 1530–1690 |date=2004 [[|publisher=Osprey Publishing]], Ltd.|isbn=978-1841766379}}</ref>{{page Oneneeded|date=February captain-general that sailed under the Spanish flag that is now well known was [[Ferdinand Magellan]], leader of the first fleet to sail around the world.2023}}

Since [[AlfonsoAmadeo XIII of Spain|King Alfonso XIIAmadeo]]'s reign (1874–18851871–1873), the [[Spanish Monarchy|monarchs]] used captain general of the Navy rank and insignia as [[Commander-in-chief]]. Briefly abolished by the [[Second Spanish Republic]], it was restored in 1938 during the regime of [[Francisco Franco]], ana [[SpanishGeneral of the Army (Spain)|General of the Army]] general. Since 19th century honorary promotions of retired admirals to this rank were also made, such as the [[Prime Minister of Spain|prime ministers]] [[Juan Bautista Aznar-Cabañas]] (1928) and [[Luis Carrero Blanco]] (1973), the only [[posthumous promotion]]. [[Infante Juan, Count of Barcelona]], claimant to the Spanish throne (1941–1977) and father of [[Juan Carlos I of Spain|King Juan Carlos]], was also made honorary captain general of the Spanish Navy in 1992.{{cn|date=February 2023}}
