What does five stripes signify? Would that mean that My beloved Captain Kangaroo is actually an Admiral? :-)

Five stripes would make him Fleet Admiral Kangaroo, IIRC. ;-)

There are no “5 stripes” in the Military. An Admiral would have 1 two inch stripe (not sure of the width), then one, two or three stripes (same as a Captain) depending on the rank.
