- 1. the person lawfully in command of a vessel. "captain" is an informal title of respect given to the commander of a naval vessel regardless of his or her formal rank; aboard a merchant ship, the ship`s master is her "captain."
- This title is said to be derived from the eastern military magistrate katapan, meaning “over everything;” but the term capitano was in use among the italians nearly 200 years before basilius ii. appointed his katapan of apulia and calabria, a.d. 984. hence, the corruption of the apulian province into capitanata. among the anglo-saxons the captain was schipp-hlaford, or ship`s lord. the captain, strictly speaking, is the officer commanding a line-of-battle ship, or a frigate carrying twenty or more cannon. a
- A name given to the crooner, crowner, or gray gurnard ( trigla gurnardus).
- [1] a commissioned naval officer ranking below one-star flag officer and above commander. [2] a commissioned military officer equivalent to a naval lieutenant. [3] the courtesy title of the officer commanding any naval vessel regardless of rank. [4] a courtesy title for the certificated master of a merchantman. [5] used in the sense of foreman to describe some of the petty officers in a man-of-war—for example, captain of the foretop, or gun captain. originally, the basic military unit, whether serving on land or in a ship, was a company of troops. each was commanded by a “captain” who still commands a company in armies. in navies, however, ships grew bigger and required ever larger crews. hence, the command responsibility of a capital ship grew closer to that of a regiment than of a company. as a result, in rn and usn usage, “captain” is unique in being both a title and a rank. the naval rank of captain is equivalent to that of army colonel, but is also the title of the person commanding a vessel of any size or type, no matter what their rank. no other person on board may use that title, which is one reason why a captain of royal marines is addressed as “major” when afloat. many other navies have escaped this dual meaning by developing rank titles that indicate the kind of vessel to be commanded. for example, in french, “capitaine de vaisseau” is the equivalent of full captain, “capitaine de fregate” equates to commander and “capitaine de corvette” to lieutenant commander. see table 16. no matter whether the ship is large or small, taking command is an awesome duty. the captain has full and final responsibility for security of the vessel, for navigating and fighting it, and for the discipline, health and efficiency of its crew. an admiral may order the captain to do something, but has no more authority than any other passenger to say how it is to be done. the title has its root in the latin capitus meaning headman or chief which, in turn, comes from caput meaning head.
