The Royal Netherlands Air Force has adopted the English spelling of commodore for an equivalent rank.

The rank of commodore was at first a position created as a temporary title to be bestowed upon captains who commanded squadrons of more than one vessel.

In many navies, the rank of commodore was merely viewed as a senior captain position, whereas other naval services bestowed upon the rank of commodore the prestige of flag officer status ; commodore is the highest rank in the Irish Naval Service, for example, and is held by only one person.

In 1899 the substantive rank of commodore was discontinued in the United States Navy and United States Coast Guard, but revived during World War II.

It was discontinued as a rank in these services during the postwar period, but as an appointment, the title " commodore " was then used to identify senior U. S. Navy captains who commanded squadrons of more than one vessel or functional air wings or air groups that were not part of a carrier air wing or air group.

To correct this inequity, the rank of commodore as a single star flag officer was reinstated by both services in the early 1980s.

As a result of this confusion, the services soon renamed the new one-star rank as commodore admiral ( CADM ) within the first six months following the rank's reintroduction.
