It is the fourth-highest rank in Pakistan armed services with a NATO code of OF-6, it is worn on epaulettes with a one-star insignia, it ranks above OF-5 rank Captain and below two-star rank Rear Admiral. Commodore is equivalent to the rank of Brigadier of Pakistan Army and Air Commodore of the Pakistan Air Force. A Pakistani Commodore rank may be abbreviated as '''CDREPN''' to distinguish it from the same ranks offered in other countries, although there is no official abbreviation available for a Pakistani commodore.
Commodore (rank) in the Pakistan Navy is not authorised to have a flag lieutenant as it is not an Admiral rank. Commodore rank is only considered as the most junior of the flag officer rank when commanding senior military appointments (typically of 1 star level), principle staff commands (as acting if higher rank typically of 2 or 3 star temporarily not present or available), operational and type commands (typically of 1 star level) in Pakistan Navy.
