If a Rear
Admiral [O-7] retired when Rear Admirals of the lower half still wore
two stars, would they wear two stars when in uniform now, or do
regulations prescribe [actually, I assume they do - but remember the
old saw] they wear the current uniform of a Rear Admiral [Lower Half],
and thus one star?

Retired personnel have the option to wear the uniform presently authorized,
or according to the regulations in force at the time they separated. So
they could wear their two stars.
