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]].

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 [[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.
