Naval rank between captain and rear admiral (9)

I believe the answer is:

commodore

(Other definitions for commodore that I've seen before include "Naval officer" , "senior officer" , "officer, surely?" , "President of a yacht club" , "Naval rank junior to rear-admiral" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
