My wife, Anita, worked at the Navy exchange dry cleaners while I was stationed at the submarine base in Groton, Conn.   One evening a familiar-looking man in civilian clothes came to pick up his dry cleaning.  Anita was sure he was on my crew and that she had met him at the “Welcome Aboard” family briefing a few weeks earlier.  As she handed him his change, she said “Excuse me, but aren’t you on my husband’s boat?”   “No ma’am,” my commanding officer replied, “I believe your husband is on my boat.”

That is exactly right.

The Captain is the big cheese out there.  Whether he is a Captain, or a Commander, or even a Lt. Commander... he's still THE Captain.

I was lucky enough to have a couple of pretty good ones on the USS Omaha.
