Commodore Perry/Matthew Perry
[ as form of address ] Yes, Commodore.
Twenty years later, although the numbers had risen by only a half, to 180,000, the number of air commodores and above had trebled.
I must also refer to commodores of convoys and their staffs.
The commodore went on and on and the stoker got more and more "fed up" with him.
The yacht club now has a proper commodore and the problems are resolved.
I am, however, clay in the hands of skilled engineers and technologists, admirals and air commodores.
That is what the commodore thinks about it.
This will be followed very shortly by the formation of six regional groups, each under an air commodore.
All that can possibly be saved is the difference between the salary of a rear-admiral and that of a commodore.
