Returning To "Civilization" (Page Eleven)
Oh No! Where did the weekend go? It's Sunday morning already... the weekend went in a blinding flash!
Catching up on the news!
It's 8:00 AM and the city is awake!
Sue is getting ready, I hope
...and away we go!
Watching the ships come in!
Did You Know? - Commodore is a naval rank used in many navies that is superior to a navy captain, but below a rear admiral. Non-English-speaking nations often use the rank of flotilla admiral or counter admiral or senior captain as an equivalent, although counter admiral may also correspond to rear admiral.
Traditionally, "commodore" is the title for any officer assigned to command more than one ship at a time, even temporarily, much as "captain" is the traditional title for the commanding officer of a single ship even if the officer's official title in the service is a lower rank. As an official rank, a commodore typically commands a flotilla or squadron of ships as part of a larger task force or naval fleet commanded by an admiral. A commodore's ship is typically designated by the flying of a Broad pennant, as opposed to an admiral's flag.
