'''Captain'''(''abbrev'': '''CAPT''') is an [[officer]] paygrade within the [[Grayson Space Navy]] and the [[Republic of Haven Navy]]. ~~It holds~~ the ~~equivalent military paygrade~~ of [[~~O-6~~]] ~~within {{trmn}}~~ and ~~can be~~ a ~~headquarters department head~~ or ~~command~~ of a ~~ship~~. A captain ~~is referred~~ to ~~as a~~ "captain,~~" unless there~~ is ~~more than one on~~ the ~~same ship~~, in which ~~case~~ the ~~ship~~'~~s commander~~ is ~~"captain"~~ and ~~other captains~~ are ~~given the honorific promotion~~ to "[[Commodore]]."

'''Captain''' (''abbrev'': '''CAPT''' [naval], '''CPT''' [martial]) is an [[officer]] paygrade within the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]], the [[Royal Manticoran Marine Corps]], the [[Royal Manticoran Army]], the [[Grayson Space Navy]], and the [[Republic of Haven Navy]].

==Historical Context==

===Naval Use===

From [[wikipedia:Latin|Latin]], ''capitaneus'', the head or chief. The evolution of the commanding officer of ships derives from the batsuen ([[boatswain]]) or the rector in the eleventh century; about 1300, the rank of captain came into general use. The master, although he sailed the ship, was of lower rank than the captain. In a British order in council in 1748, the relative rank was settled with the Army by dividing Navy captains into three grades. It was deemed at that time that any officer in command was entitled to the title of captain while in command, regardless of actual rank. All captains not eligible on the list for promotion to rear admiral were originally called "masters and commanders" and had "C" after their names. The rank was shortened to "commander" in 1794. The term "cdr." in the British Navy was used after the names of commanders in 1826. "Post captain," a term used in the Royal Navy and once used in the American Navy, distinguished captains commanding frigates from master commanders or commanders next in rank. There never was a commission of "post captain." In 1747, the rank of captain was first clearly defined in the British Navy. Captains who commanded post ships took rank, if of three years standing, with colonels in the Army. Until the year 1824, the Royal Navy list classed such captains as post captains. Until 1862, captain was the highest commissioned officer in the US Navy, and according to his duty, ranks with lieutenant colonel, colonel, or brigadier general.

===Army/Marine Use===

Prior to the professionalization of the armed services of European nations subsequent to the French Revolution, a captain was a nobleman who purchased the right to head a company from the previous holder of that right. He would in turn receive money from another nobleman to serve as his lieutenant. The funding to provide for the troops came from the monarch or his government; the captain had to be responsible for it. If he was not, or was otherwise court-martialed, he would be dismissed ("cashiered"), and the monarch would receive money from another nobleman to command the company. Otherwise, the only pension for the captain was selling the right to another nobleman when he was ready to retire.

==TRMN==

Within {{trmn}}, this rank is used among most of the branches of service:

===Royal Manticoran Navy===

Within this Navy, the rank of Captain is split into the two subgrades of [[O-6A]] and [[O-6B]], which is '''Captain (jg)''' (CAPTJG) and '''Captain of the List''' or '''Captain (sg)''' (CAPTSG), respectively. An officer holding the rank of Captain (jg) is superior to all [[Commander|Commanders]], and inferior in seniority to all Captains of the List. Captains of the List are, in turn, inferior to all [[Commodore|Commodores]].

~~In the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]], there~~ are ~~two captain ranks, junior~~ [[~~O-6A~~]] ~~and senior grade~~ [[~~O-6A~~]]. ~~CAPTJG's~~ can ~~command up~~ to a ~~battlecruiser and are not considered~~ for ~~future flag rank~~. ~~After a captain makes "list~~,~~" CAPTSG's~~ command the ~~largest ships in~~ the ~~RMN~~, ~~and will eventually move into flag rank~~ through ~~seniority. However, there is no guarantee that a billet will be available upon promotion~~.

Captains (jg) are appointed to command any vessel type from [[Heavy Cruiser]] to [[Superdreadnought]]. They can also be appointed to a headquarters department or division (ie: Director of Publications for the [[Bureau of Communications]]). Prior to the issuance of [[Orders:Admiralty Order 1510-02]], officers appointed to command superdreadnoughts and [[LAC Carrier|LAC Carriers]] received a brevet promotion to Captain of the List. Following the order, however, promotions to O-6B are controlled by the Admiralty through appointment only.

~~== Honorverse ==~~

Captains of the List are typically appointed to command [[division|divisions]] of heavy cruiser and above, or possibly command of larger echelon forces such as [[squadron|squadrons]] and [[task group|task groups]], although such promotions are not always guaranteed.

~~In peacetime~~, ~~a Captain would have served three years~~ as an [[~~Commander~~]], ~~between 21~~ and ~~23 years~~ in the ~~service~~, ~~and been reviewed by~~ a ~~Officer Promotion Board. Board review is extremely difficult, confirming only half~~ of ~~eligible candidates~~. <~~ref name~~="~~Chron~~.~~com~~">[~~http~~:~~//work~~.~~chron~~.~~com/navy~~-~~promotion~~-~~times-grade-requirements-11028~~.~~html~~] ([[~~Houston Chronicle~~]])</~~ref~~>

====Rank Insignia====

While both sub-grades of Captain wear the same shoulderboards and sleeve stripes, the difference lies in the collar devices. A Captain (jg) wears a Commander's collar device of four diamonds, while a Captain of the List wears a unique device of a single circle.
