Captain is the name most often given in English-speaking navies to the rank corresponding to command of the largest ships. The rank is equal to the army rank of colonel. Equivalent ranks worldwide include "ship-of-the-line captain" (e.g. France, Argentina, Spain), "captain of sea and war" (e.g. Portugal), "captain at sea" (e.g. Germany, Netherlands) and "captain of the first rank" (Russia). The NATO rank code is OF-5. ==Etiquette== Any naval officer who commands a ship (titled commanding officer, or C.O.) is addressed by naval custom as "captain" while aboard in command, regardless of their actual rank. Officers with the rank of captain travelling aboard a vessel they do not command should be addressed by their rank and name (e.g., "Captain Smith"), but they should not be referred to as "the captain" to avoid confusion with the vessel's captain. According to U.S. Navy wardroom etiquette, an embarked naval captain is normally addressed in that setting as "commodore," since, if a line officer, he will or she will typically be the next senior officer in the chain of command, such as the commodore of a destroyer squadron, amphibious squadron or submarine squadron. On a U.S. Navy ship a marine or army captain, which is a substantially lower rank than a naval captain, may be socially addressed with the courtesy title of "major" to differentiate him or her from the ship's commander. On large ships (e.g., aircraft carriers), the executive officer (XO) may be a captain in rank, in which case it would be proper to address him by rank. Often the XO prefers to be called "XO" to avoid confusion with the CO, who is also a captain in rank and the captain of the ship. The same applies to aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy, where the commander and deputy commander of the embarked carrier air wing are both captains in rank, but are addressed by the titles of "CAG" and DCAG," respectively. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Captain (naval)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
