Commodores

In a naval or maritime context, a commodore is a senior officer rank, typically overseeing a group of vessels or a specific fleet segment, just below the rank of rear admiral. The term can also refer to a ceremonial title for the captain of a large or prestigious yacht or ship. Essentially, a commodore is someone who has significant leadership responsibilities, coordinating operations and ensuring effective communication among ships or within a boating community. The role combines strategic oversight with hands-on management, making it an important figure in naval and maritime organization.
