    I hope that you are out because that is not authorized wear of a uniform. If you are out, please make sure that you remove and official navy insignia from your uniform.

    Fictional

    Captain Ahab - Moby Dick

    Captain Bly - Mutiny on the Bounty

    How about Admiral Cunningham, who once famously said, "When the Germans are down, kick them in the guts." A real sailor who rose from the ranks, which is so typical of the Royal Navy, the only real meritocracy the UK has.
