	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Commodore (rank) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		In 1783, commodores of the first class were allowed to wear the uniform of a rear admiral, a distinction which continued with some variation until the two classes of commodore were consolidated in 1958.
		In 1996 the rank of commodore was made a substantive rank in the Royal Navy: previously it had been merely a temporary rank, and commodores used to revert to the rank of captain at the end of their posting (and captains could be promoted directly to Rear Admiral).
		Commodores first class, while wearing the sleeve stripes of a rear admiral, had gold lace-covered epaulettes and shoulder-boards with a crown, two stars and anchor (also worn by other commodores but only with formal uniforms).

		The zealous Jesuit missionary Francis Xavier arrived in another part of the territory in 1549, but although he left for China in 1551 and died soon after departure his followers who remained behind converted a number of daimyo (warlords).
		The most notable among them was Omura Sumitada, who derived great profit from his conversion through an accompanying deal to receive a portion of the trade from Portuguese ships at a port they established in Nagasaki in 1571 with his assistance.
		Nagasaki became a free port in 1859 and modernization began in earnest in 1868.
