Commander Daniel Craig welcomes Commander James Bond

The name is Bond. James Bond. Well, in reality the name is something like Commander James Bond CMG RNVR. The Commander because he is a member of the Royal Navy. The CMG RNVR because he is a member of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George. No one can blame us for not remembering all that as the world famous British secret agent working for M16 is even more well known as code name 007. And now the actor who plays James Bond in the latest rendition in the movies, Daniel Craig is also Commander, albeit an honorary one.

The Title

The title of the Commander has been granted to the actor Daniel Craig  by the Royal Navy of England. The Military status of Commander ranks seventh in the hierarchy of the Royal Navy. And the aim of granting such an honorary title to the actor is so that the actor can act as an ambassador of the Royal Navy and spread the message about the work and capabilities of the Royal Navy to the world.
