    Wasn't it Bill who just reminded us that Pearson was forced to stop using the name Commander by ChrisCraft?
    Supposedly Pearson decided to stop production because of threatened legal action...,.?
    Wonder what really happened? Why didn't CC complain at the beginning of the Commander run?

    Pearson could have upscaled the Commander rank to Commodore.
    Or given it the swedish Kommendor.
    Or chose the only other nautical name in Shakespeare's Tempest (from where Ariel probably came): Boatswain. (Bosun)
    Goes with Ensign, yes?

    BOSUN imco would have been an excellent boat class name.
