And yet, according to my source (which was written by the Deputy Director and Senior Master Trainer at the Protocol School of Washington), which is more general and not specific to a particular monarchy, it is better to use the noble title over the appointed title.

Also I have never seen anyone use two titles when it comes to military and nobility. I have never heard of a person being called an Admiral Lord, or a General Viscount or anything of that nature. It just isn't done. Sure you might add it on after the name, say Lord Joe Bloggs, Admiral of the West Fleet. But you wouldn't use Lord Admiral, or Admiral Lord.

Want some more proof? I'll give you a real world example. Prince Phillip, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, also holds the rank of Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom. Does anyone in the world call him by his military title? No, he is always referred to as either Prince Phillip or the Duke of Edinburgh.
