Honorverse
In peacetime, a Vice Admiral would have served as an Rear Admiral, been reviewed by a Flag Officer Promotion Board, approved by the House of Lords, and confirmed by the First Lord of the Admiralty in the name of the monarch. Board review is extremely difficult, as there are a limited number of billets. Rear Admirals will eventually become vice admirals through seniority. However, there is no guarantee that a billet will be available upon promotion.
In the RMN, The rank of Vice Admiral has two divisions: Red and Green. A Rear Admiral of the Green would be promoted to Vice Admiral of the Red, and then upon reaching sufficient seniority on the list of flag officers would be promoted to Vice Admiral of the Green.
