[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [qb] even if she was referred to as 'captain' or as 'the captain of' this would still hold with naval (and Starfleet) parlance.. any officer that is in command of a commissioned vessel has the right to be called captain, regardless of their rank. Lieutenant Commander Janeway would be referred to as 'Captain Janeway', or as 'the captain of the Bonestell' even though she was nowhere near the captain's rank.. its a title of position, not of rank.. unless they specifically say 'she reached the rank of captain' then its not necessarily the case [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm pretty sure that (in the Royal Navy at least) COs of ships are only called "Captain" either: a) on their ship, or b) by their crew when off the ship. An Admiral on shore would call the CO "Commander", or whatever their rank was. As Janeway had a performance review in the book (which now I think about it could have been Mosaic, not that it makes much of a difference), it seems likely that she was called Captain by whoever conducted that. [QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [qb]BTW, didnt the book's chronology place her Bonestell command a few years after W359? i believe that it was necessary to assume she commanded a different ship than the one destroyed in 2367 [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't remember, sorry. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
