Best Answer

The Captain is the higher rank, it is an O-5 in the US Navy or an O-3 in the Marine Corps.

-------------------

Depends on the service. In the Army, Marines and Air Force, a Captain is an O-3. In the Navy, a Captain is an O-6.

Assuming they're in the same branch of the service, in every military I'm aware of Captain is a higher rank than Lieutenant.


If they're in different branches, maybe not. A US Navy (or US Coast Guard) Lieutenant is pay grade O-3, the same as a Captain in the US Army, Air Force, or Marines.

Is lieutenant a higher rank than first or second lieutenant?

i think so. cuz in movies u nevr hear any1 address a first or second lieutenant This depends. Second Lieutenants and First Lieutenants are both addressed verbally as "Lieutenant". The Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force have Second Lieutenants as the lowest Commissioned Officer rank. They are then promoted to First Lieutenants. The next rank for Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force Officers is Captain. The Navy has the rank of Lieutenant but is a higher rank. Naval Officers begin as Ensign. They are promoted to Lieutenant JG (junior grade) and then to Lieutenant. The Navy Lieutenant is the equivalent of an Army Captain. The Navy also has the Captain rank, but the Navy Captain is the equivalent of an Army Colonel.
