			===Courtesy Address===
			By tradition aboard naval ships, marine officers with the rank of captain (O-3) are addressed as "major" since the ship's [[Commanding Officer\|commanding officer]] is the only person addressed as "captain."

			"Major Papadapolous, Ma'am," McKeon said, and stood aside as Captain Nikos Papadapolous, Royal Manticoran Marines, marched into Honor's briefing room.
			There could be only one "captain" aboard a ship of war, where any uncertainty over who someone was referring to in the midst of a critical situation could be fatal, so Papadapolous received the courtesy promotion to avoid that confusion.<ref>''On Basilisk Station'', Chapter Eighteen</ref>
