'''Captain'''<ref>In reference to the above image: ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', page 161 -- "Commander Keyes opened the box. Inside were a pair of ... insignia: '''four bars and a single star'''".</ref> is a [[commissioned officers|commissioned officer]] rank of the [[UNSC Navy]], and is the Naval equalivant of a [[Colonel (UNSC)|Colonel]] in the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and [[UNSC Army]].
 
Navy Captains typically command a single ship-typically a class larger than a frigate but smaller than a carrier. Navy Captains may also command a battlegroup or a small fleet if they are the most senior officer present.
 
Captains are sometimes referred to informally as "Skipper" and "the Old Man."<ref>''[[Halo:The Flood]]'', ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', [[Thom Shephard]]: "Aye aye sir. The skipper seems jumpy, we'd better get moving. We'll find you weapons later."</ref>
 
==Relation to Marine and Army Captain==
The Army and Marine Corps rank of [[Captain (Ground forces)|Captain]] is ranked three pay grades lower than a Navy Captain, and has no special command authority with respect to a ship.
