	Commodore (rank) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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).

	Battle of the River Plate HMSO Official Account (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Admiral Graf Spee had turned away to the westward under cover of a smoke screen, and the two six-inch gun cruisers were hauling round to the north-westward in pursuit, accepting the fact that this entailed being unable to bring the after guns to bear on the enemy.
		Commodore Harwood decided to alter course towards the Admiral Graf Spee in order to shorten the range as rapidly as possible, even though this meant that the after guns would once again be unable to bear on the enemy.
		Commodore Harwood had called off the pursuit an hour before the Admiral Graf Spee anchored in Montevideo roads, since the enemy's intentions had been by that time clear, and the British Commander was at pains to respect neutral territorial waters.

	United Kingdom: Royal Navy rank flags
		A historical note: since the abolishment of the three squadron system in 1864, a plain St George Cross flag was flown by admirals at the main masthead, by vice admirals at the fore masthead, and by rear admirals at the mizzen masthead.
		It became the command flag of all Admirals by an Order in Council (abolishing squadronal colours) of 9 July 1964, while at the same time, opportunity was taken to alter the "balls" of difference in the 'boat flags' of junior grades of Admiral from blue to red.
		The rank of Commodore, the status of which had remained murky throughout the 18th Century, was legally established by Regulations of 1806, and formally divided into those of the 1st class (with a Captain under them) and 2nd class (when commanding the ship themselves) in 1826.

	Commodore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		As Congress was unwilling to authorize any admirals in its service until 1862, there was considerable importance attached to the office of commodore.
		Eventually it seems that the title of commodore was defined more strictly, and was reserved for captains so designated by the Navy Department, although the practice of retaining the title for life added some confusion.
		As it would have been expensive to increase the pay of all the former commodores to the level of rear admirals, Congress specified that the lower half of the rear admirals’ list have pay equal to brigadier generals of the army.
