Is Cap'n Crunch really a Captain?
This one is all over the news outlets. The stripes on his uniform sleeve indicate that he holds the rank of Commander. Is he guilty of impersonation a superior officer.
My opinion, for what little it is worth, is that the title, Captain, refers to both a rank and a position. As an officer with a ship under his command he is entitled to the designation of ship's Captain, even though his official rank is Commander. I will, however, defer to our resident naval expert. What say you Ensign Steve?
