Summary: 


The rank commodor is also used for an officer of the rank of captain on a ship
other than his own since there is only one "Captain" on a ship. Also army
captains will be called major aboard ship by naval personnel. At least that
was the way Robert Heilein explained it in "Starship Troopers".
