OK, while we’re discussing the order of March of Turkish Navy and its command structure, I will ask for your help guys. Does Turkish Navy hold a rank of Commodore?
I mean, there are North and South marine zone commands and combat fleet commands commanded by various ranks of admirals. But I can’t confirm that we have a rank (*title) as commodore. Is there maybe a title corresponding to it?
@Yasar_TR abi? @Anmdt ?

It should be Tugamiral.

Commodore is not a hierarchical rank in the Turkish Navy, but rather an operational title given to senior colonels who command a flotilla-level naval unit. They are granted the power of an admiral and use the flag and insignia of an admiral even though they are colonels.

So the rank that carries the title is colonels, prefarebly a senior one, right? But do we call them commodore while they carry the task, command the filotilla or just call them as their ranks ie, colonel?
