Commodore (rank)
Commodore is a military rank used in many navies that is superior to a navy captain, but below a rear admiral. Non-English-speaking nations often use the rank of flotilla admiral or counter admiral as an equivalent, although the latter may also correspond to rear admiral.
It is often regarded as a one-star rank with a NATO code of OF-6, but is not always regarded as a flag rank.
It is sometimes abbreviated as Cdre, CDRE or COMO.
