Merger Proposal edit
i porpose that Captain (United States O-6) be merged into Captain (naval). Why have two articles onthe same subject?--Petebutt (talk) 07:19, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- Are you also going to propose that we merge Captain (Royal Navy), Kapitän zur See, and Ship-of-the-line captain to this article? - BilCat (talk) 07:54, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose - For exactly the same reason as BilCat. (Plus all the other articles BilCat didn't mention.) Pdfpdf (talk) 13:22, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose - Captain (naval) covers captains in a general global sense, Captain (United States O-6) covers the peculiarities of the rank in the USA, they are not the same thing. Op47 (talk) 18:11, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
A proposition edit
How about writing something about naval captains who are not corresponding to land colonels (for example in Poland)? I'm not sure, so I won't write this, but maybe it should be here. 93.105.56.218 (talk) 12:55, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
Finland edit
Actually, Finland has somewhat similar system than Poland. Why it is not mentioned? Equivalent rank is commodore (kommodori) and there is captain lieutenant (kapteeniluutnantti) which equals captain of land forces. 85.217.38.12 (talk) 00:01, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Do we need multiple articles for every equivalent rank, like Kapitan zur See... edit
The German rank Kapitän zur See, the rank equivalent to Naval Captain, redirects to its literal translation, Captain at sea#Germany. Why shouldn't it redirect here? Is there some duty a German Captain fulfills that justifies a separate article?
Captain of sea and war seems to be a literal translation of the equivalent rank's Portugese name. As above, why does it require a separate article.
And Ship-of-the-line captain, what's up with that? "Ship of the line" is a term that dates back to the fleet actions of sailing ships.
This article needs more references. But those other articles are completely unreferenced. This introduces the concern those articles contain the personal opinions of the wikipedia contributors who wrote them, not WP:reliable sources, as policy requires.
