Mutinous men on board killed the captain and appointed one of their own to lead the ship.
For this play on words, you have answered your own question. "WHO" is the name of the captain. It is similar to the Abbott & Costello skit "Who's on first".
You are describing the Graf Spee, but it was not "sunk" in the common use of the word, (that is, by an enemy ship) it was scuttled by her own captain.
Captain John Paul Jones became the captain of the Serapis after his own ship The Bonhomme Richard sank in battle with her. The previous captain of the Serapis was Captain Pearson. As an side, the HMS Serapis was unique in that it had a hull made of copper.
Good question. The captain sank his own ship, then shot himself.
It is a rank between Captain and Rear Admiral in the navy. A Captain is is command of one ship (his/her own) and a Commodore is in charge of more than one ship. The RAF has an Air-Commodore which is a rank above a Group Captain and below that of an Air-Marshal. The equivalent rank in the army is a Brigadier who is in charge of a brigade of men 3,000 to 5,000 in total. It is from the French term Commandeur which was one of the highest ranks in Knighthood.
Anne Bonny never had her own ship she was a member of a crew on one ship she dressed as a man and was the captain's(Jack Rackam's) "girl" so she was not removed from the ship when it was found out the she was a girl.
The Captain Swain in "The Great Horn Spoon" book offers to help the other ship by towing it with his own ship to a nearby port using a rowboat. This act of good samaritanism shows his character's kindness and willingness to help others in need.
You probably are thinking of the word "scuttling" here. To scuttle a ship is to open holes in the hull and let in the water. It means to sink your own ship on purpose.
You are captain of your own universe. The Universe continues to get smaller as we learn more about space.
This is exactly where the Phrase "hijacking the Cells own bio-Machinery" comes into focus.
