The Great Navy of the State of Nebraska has been around since 1930. According to the Nebraska State Historical Society, "Admirals in the Great Navy of the State of Nebraska are individuals who have contributed in some way to the state, promote the Good Life in Nebraska, and warrant recognition as determined by the Governor."

Notable admirals include Johnny Carson, Clayton Anderson, Julius Erving, Gerald Ford, Tom Osborne, and Keisei Tominaga.
