For those who have not served in the navy, even the military does not always understand where the double ranks came from. What is the difference between the titles " captain" on land and " lieutenant commander" in the navy, if the officer essentially has one function - he has one hundred soldiers under his command. But if so, then what is the reason? As it turned out, it exists.

For sailors, the word "ship" refers to a combat vessel with weapons on board. Consequently, it is not the captain who has the right to command him, but only the commander. In this case, the "captain" for the officer will be an insult.

It is not necessary to compare the rank of "captain" in the Navy and in the ground forces. In the second case, the captain can be at the head of almost every specialized unit. In the navy, the situation is radically different. A ship is a separate unit on which there can be several captains (commanders), including the commander of the entire ship (chief of all officers).

In this regard, in this case, "lieutenant" (deputy) means the commander of a particular group. If we speak simply as a captain, it is unclear who this man is - a naval officer or a boatswain, and what exactly he commands is also unclear.

Until 1917 in the navy there were the prefixes "staffs" and "ober". But after the disappearance of the Imperial Navy, these prefixes became a thing of the past. In the Navy, there are 4 ranks in which the "captain" is used. Naturally, it is difficult for overland people to figure it out, and the sailors clearly know who is who and will never get confused.
