Wanderer, just to add to your post.
Even if the Turkish guy was a petty officer, as long as he was in command of the ship he is "the Captain".
When the old WWII battleships were brought out of mothballs (the New Jersey was one), they were refit with superior combat radar and targeting systems, communications, the engineering was upgraded somewhat, the Phoenix CIWS was installed, and yes Tomahawks were added in time to the weapon complement. Someone found out that those 16-inch guns were quite useful in the age of missile weaponry. This is a good example of mothballing old warships and bringing them back in with retrofitting.
