Halsey's promotion, like that of General Omar Bradley, was as a reward for his service and accomplishments rather than a wartime command authority. However, he would have seniority in Navy matters due to military courtesy two officers of equivalent rank in different services would defer to their sphere of influence (the Army on the ground and the Navy at sea). This was difficult to manage as MacArthur technically had seniority in grade (having been promoted to General of the Army the day before him on December 18th).

Captains who had held the post often styled themselves as such unofficially afterwards.ĭue to the rapid expansion of the Navy the rank was re-established on April 1943. In American service the position was originally a brevet rank held by the senior-most captain in a formation of two or more ships. "Commodore" is better considered a title or appointment than a proper rank. The Flag Officer ranks were based on those of the British Royal Navy.
