Just because a word is approved by a dictionary does not means it is correct. However in the RN Cdr. is correct but, to be fair, Cmdr. may be correct in other navies. The dictionary does not specify to which navy they refer.
P.S. In Oxford they are still trying to work out whether to call one of their rivers the Isis or the Thames.
