I think that generally only commissioned officers were allowed to participate in the war. If we were given the names of all Vice Admirals though, then the participation in the War of the Best is irrelevant. At any rate, It's better to remain on the safe side though because it just might be wrong. In addition, I doubt it's of any significant importance to make him a Vice Admiral pre-timeskip.
