Talk:Captain (military)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Commands
Captains with sea commands generally command ships of cruiser size or larger. The more senior the officer, the larger the ship. Commanders of aircraft carriers can be rear admirals, but generally, ship commanders are of captain rank or lower. Also, many captains are either retired or have desk jobs.
This paragraph is terrible. Many Captains have desk jobs, and do other jobs besides commanding a ship, but the tone of that paragraph makes it sound like it's not good to be a captain, and your naval career is over. This whole article needs its tone checked. --70.160.123.211 23:51, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
