You may have been a real Captain, but still outranked by a Navy
Lieutenant.
If I were to claim a title, I'd be just as happy to be the senior
petty officer on board. That leaves no doubt as to who is really in
charge in any emergency, yet I can still loaf most of the time.

Horvath is a hero... in his own mind. Don't destroy that for him.
