From the book:

"The only known occasion when Rickover appeared in the uniform of a full admiral took place
on March 29, 1974, when Rickover Hall was dedicated at the U.S. Naval Academy.  From left are:
Mrs. Rickover (In commander's uniform), Rickover, Congresswoman Marjorie Holt, Capt Howard
H. Haynes, Academy Superintendent Vice Adm William P. Mack, and Secretary of the Navy John
Warner.  Warner, later a United States Senator, had directed Rickover to wear his uniform for the
ceremonies".
