Mestre dos Almirantes - Board of Admiralty. My Brazilian Portuguese dictionary didn't have the exact translation I wanted, so I improvised.
With the navy title, I was trying to get across "Navy of the Empire of Brazil", however Marinha Imperial is less cumbersome and would probably be better used in less formal situations.
EDIT: Thank you for the publication title, I'll use that from now on for the news reports. If it dates back to the real Empire of Brazil, it's official where I'm concerned.
