There is a Ship Simulator facility on the Navy Base in Newport, RI where Navy Officers are trained in the handling of various Navy ships prior to being assigned to those ships. The instructors for these "training courses" are retired Navy Captains. (O-6 Rank)

There are also Merchant Marine instructors: ..."Master Mariners". On the bridge, they are ALL addressed as CAPTAIN. Just Sayin.

NB

PS: Just about every significant Ship ..and Harbor.....in the world has been "modeled" in this Ship Handling Simulator....Military and Civilian.
