The same as every other service....the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. This office holder technically is the highest ranking member. For instance if Admiral Horatio Waverider is the Chairman he out ranks Admiral Fredrick Deckwalker who is the Chief of Naval Operations even though the CNO would run the day to day business.
