Some smaller ships are even commanded by O-3s (Lieutenants), but they sre still addressed by their crews as "Captain." Probably more than you wanted to know. In any event, I'm sure that not all of those retired guys instructing in the ship handling simulator in Newport are retired O-6s.

Thanks TMI Guy: (Too Much Information..??) I am familiar with
Navy Parlance... having served. The last time I checked (Today)..all the
"Ship Simulator Instructors" are Retired O-6 ....OR.. Master Mariners.
I won't elaborate any further.
NB
