'''Commodore'''(''abbrev'': '''CDRE''') is an [[flag]] paygrade within the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]], [[Grayson Space Navy]], and the [[Republic of Haven Navy]]. It holds the equivalent military paygrade of [[F-1]] within {{trmn}} and can be a headquarters department head or command of a ship division / squadron. A commodore is always referred to as a "commodore."
