Admiral ships, as far as I can tell, are identical to regular ships, just with a slight bonus to accuracy. not worth the extra cash, IMO. Better spent on more ships. You can build a fifth rate and a light galley for the same price as a fifth rate admiral (I think, I cant check the roster here), then use the galley as a distraction to preserve your big ship.
