I can't remember if it was an article I read at the time, or a lecture
by Commodore/Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Grace Hopper, but the explanation
of the title change was that Commodore's were not receiving the
treatment that should have been accorded them as flag officers.  I
think it must have been at one of Admiral Hopper's lectures, because I
faintly recall her telling a humorous story of such mistreatment as an
example of why they changed the name.
