Commander is a rank used by the service organizations of many civilizations.
On Earth, this rank has a history dating back to at least the 18th century to wind-powered seagoing navies, and has equivalents used by numerous species and cultures on several planets.
History
As a traditional naval grade in Human usage, commander is the second most senior line officer rank, falling between a lieutenant commander and a captain. On Earth, the United States Navy used this rank as well as the Royal Navy. The United States Navy used the insignia of three solid sleeve stripes to denote the rank of commander and considered the rank the equivalent of a lieutenant colonel.
The ancient sea of rank commander was usually given to commanders of ships smaller than a rated warship or to the commanders of shore installations. The watch station of command duty officer was a position which could be held by a commander. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
Modern rank
The rank of Commander is a senior rank, common among executive officers and senior department heads. Naval tradition states that even if a naval vessel is commanded by an officer whose rank is commander or lieutenant commander, that officer is still referred to as a captain while on the deck of their own vessel. (DS9: "Behind the Lines")
In the Xindi-Reptilian military of the 22nd century, some commanders controlled a squadron and a regiment. (ENT: "Azati Prime")
The rank of commander in the Romulan Star Empire is considered the equivalent of a Starfleet captain. (TNG: "Future Imperfect") Also, a subcommander grade exists in the Romulan military, with this rank also used in the 22nd century by the Vulcan High Command. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident"; ENT: "Broken Bow")
The 23rd century Imperial Klingon Fleet used the rank of commander to denote the commanders of smaller space vessels, such as a Bird-of-Prey. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) A Klingon rank of captain was used for larger vessels with this title carrying over to the 24th century Klingon Defense Force. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles"; TNG: "Redemption")
