Didn't most navies have the rank of Commodore

 

Some still do, USN, USCG, Dutch Navy, etc

Not with HAL anymore! Good question to ask Capt. Schoonderbeek who the last HAL commodore was

Late flights and a medical...  Wow...

Commodore.  Brings back memories of Commodore Cruise Lines.  My second cruise was on the Regal Empress, former Caribe for Commodore, out of Tampa.

There were two Caribe's under Commodore.  This pic is not the one that became Regal Empress.  

Copper John, you are the best, and you are going to be the HAL historian after Captain Albert.  See if you have the other one as well.
