 According to my Navy Basic Traning, Commodore is a Flag rank equal to 
Brigadeer General (one star), and is thus an Admiral.

  There are two basic types of captain, the rank (O6 in the U.S. Navy) and
the title "captain," which applies to anyone in command of a ship, no matter
if their rank is Chief, Warrent Officer, Ensign, Captain or Admiral, they
are still called Captain on their ship.

 btw: part of te problem with the rank of commodore is that it was not
 used by the U.S. Navy since WW. II, it was brought back in 1983 or there'bouts.
