How to say "commodore" in Japanese

• 提督ていとくCommon
  nounCovers 'commodore' as a senior naval officer in command of a fleet or squadron; it is the same word used for 'admiral', so it names the commander without pinning down an exact rank.
  トラファルガー広場ひろばにはネルソン提督ていとくの彫像ちょうぞうがある。↗

  There is a statue of Admiral Nelson in Trafalgar Square.
• 准将じゅんしょうCommon
  nounCovers 'commodore' as a specific rank, the naval counterpart of 'brigadier general'; use it when you need the exact rank title rather than a general term for a naval commander.

Choose 准将 when you need the exact rank of commodore, the navy counterpart of brigadier general, and 提督 for the broader sense of a senior naval officer, the word that also serves for 'admiral'.
