Captain and Commander
Commander is a rank used in many navies and some air forces but is very rarely used as a rank in armies, but is a common rank in special forces as it refers to a team leader. The title (originally "master and commander") originated in the 18th century to describe naval lieutenants who commanded smaller (unrated) ships such as ship-sloops or brig-sloops. Officers who held command retained this title only during their period in command of that particular vessel; when they left that vessel, they reverted to their substantive rank of lieutenant. The Royal Navy shortened "master and commander" to just "commander" in 1794, when it became a formal (permanent) rank; however, the term "master and commander" remained (unofficially) in common parlance for several years.[1] A corresponding rank in some navies is frigate captain. In the 20th and 21st centuries, the rank as been assigned the NATO rank code of OF-4.

Discussion
I just have never heard "eventual" used in this since in Spanish.
