A Pakistani commodore 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 and is regarded as the most junior of the flag officer rank.
