[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [QB] Ever since I first saw the TOS episode "Whom the Gods Destroy", I have been trying to figure out what a fleet captain is. Does Garth of Izar have the rank of Fleet Captain, or is his proper rank Captain and his position title is Fleet Captain. Looking at the job description of a Port Captain on the NOAA web site and the use of term "fleet captain" by some sailing clubs, and seems that this position is responsible for ensuring that a fleet of ships is properly provisioned, manned, and maintained. But this person is not in command of the actions of the fleet, like an Admiral. However, dialog in the TOS episode suggests that Garth of Izar was in command of the fleet during the Battle of Axanar. Was Garth an Admiral with the title of fleet captain? Is this an Izarian rank? Some fan fiction and PBEM role-playing games have created pips for the rank of Fleet Captain, and placed this rank above a Captain, and below the flag ranks. Anyone have any comments or ideas about this puzzler? [/QB][/QUOTE]
