Additional information
Jack Aubrey's proposed translation, 'The admirals are with thee', is actually quite possible if these two words are looked at in isolation. Duces is a verb, the second person singular of the future active tense of ducere 'to bring, lead, fetch', but it could have been a noun, the plural form of dux 'guide, leader in war'.
