Honorverse

In peacetime, a Rear Admiral would have served as an Commodore, been reviewed by a Flag Officer Promotion Board, approved by the House of Lords, and confirmed by the First Lord of the Admiralty in the name of the monarch. Board review is extremely difficult, as there are a limited number of billets. [1] Commodores will eventually become rear admirals through seniority. However, there is no guarantee that a billet will be available upon promotion.

In the RMN, The rank of Rear Admiral has two divisions: Red and Green. A Commodore would be promoted to Rear Admiral of the Red, and then upon reaching sufficient seniority on the list of flag officers would be promoted to Rear Admiral of the Green.
