At one time it was commodore who was in charge of a warship squadron, but the rank is not used anymore. I think that now rear admiral is the next highest over captain. The foregoing is correct. The title of Commodore is used to designate someone who is the commander of a number of units, such aircraft or ship squadrons. The rank of Commodore has been replaced by Rear Admiral (lower half) and the insignia is two stars or a broad band and a smaller stripe on the sleeve.
