Ah thanks for that. I'm not familiar with the book history. My familiarity with the film history is hardly comprehensive ... but as I faintly recall, Bond's navy service and his commander rank wasn't mentioned until You Only Live Twice, which was Connery's first (of three) "final" James Bond movies.
But even if Craig's Bond has the same naval history, we still seem to be coming into Skyfall at the end stage of his 007 career, while his other two films were the very beginning. Just an oddment, imo.
