In my experience in the navy, a LCDR can be in command of a mine sweeper ship, which carries up to 120 sailors. Is not a combat ship, is more like a support ship. They can also command small reserve centers or Navy Operational Support Centers (NOSC). Also, they can be in charge of an air squadron, where they are call "Air Boss".

What do you call a commander of an English Warship?
The 'commander', a term not normally used, of a British (not 'English'!) warship is known as the 'commanding officer' or 'captain'. In this sense, the term, 'captain', does not refer to his rank, as this may vary from lieutenant (e.g. minesweeper), lieutenant commander (e.g. conventional submarine), commander (e.g. nuclear submarine), or captain (e.g. aircraft carrier).The second in command is known as the 'First Lieutenant'. On large vessels, where the captain holds the rank of captain, the first lieutenant usually then holds the rank of commander, and is then known as 'the Commander' rather than 'First Lieutenant'.
