Commodore

This rank was established in the Royal Navy in 1622, by King William II, and derives from the Dutch "Commandeur". Traditionally, the commodore was in command of a squadron detached from the main body of the fleet. Unlike the Royal Navy, commodore is a permanent rank in the Canadian Armed Forces.
