General is equivalent to the rank of admiral in the other uniformed services. Since the grades of General of the Army and General of the Air Force are reserved for war-time use only, and since the Marine Corps has no five-star equivalent, the grade of general is currently considered to be the highest appointment an officer can achieve in these three services.

I think we don't have a 4+ star General because we are considered a Dept of the Navy. (Men's Dept ) So having a 5-star would be of no use considering a 5-star in the Navy is only activated during war-time. (I think) Unless they want to have a 5-star inactive like the Navy.
