 * Oh; wow. Not only is this a textbook example of original research, but it's historically inaccurate, besides.  A very strange argument that makes no distinction between the army rank Captain and the captain of a ship--someone got lost in semantics here.  Delete, speedily if possible.

"To be born with the gift of laughter, and the sense that the world was mad"
I'd like to thank the members of the Cabal for their destruction of a work in progress; I make no complaints, as I have come to expect little else- those of us following my progress across the Wikiscape (TM) will be aware of what I mean. I am impressed with the speed of this particular.... deletion, and the precision with which the Members of the Bored were apparently bussed in. As I say, I will move on to bigger and better, because I beleive in a Free Wiki for all, and Liberty and Justice for Etc. For those interested, every single word was reserched, documented and verifiable. And unfinished. Those with an interest (all of you apparently) can find this out for yourselves. The Context itself should be more than clear to the confused that the material refers not only to Land based military, but also to mercenary action, as well as those items which make reference to the term Captain as a title in other useage. (Can a Ship's Captain really marry people ?) As to Navel Gazing ? a mite personal, no ? (Nice userpages people !) I will leave this here as I can clearly see what I'm up against. The interested may find the article under construction on my user page. I hope to see you there; It'll be open house. Please bring an open mind ?

(No; Ships Captains have never had the power to marry people unless they have some further qualification.)
