There is no official account of his actual rank (even his official site and bio only states he served in the Navy and Reserves), though he enlisted and was stationed aboard the USS Leviathan as a Gunner's Mate.

Bogart portrayed a Navy Captain in "The Caine Mutiny", one of his most famous roles. Bogart plays Captain Queeg, whose increasing erratic behavior leads his XO to relieve him of command during the height of a violent storm, in which several ships were lost that were a part of their fleet. During the ensuing court martial of the XO and the others that followed ( the CM was to determine if the action was justified or constituted mutiny), Queeg, initially showing that he's calm and confident, eventually is shown to be a man of many problems. His famous habit from the film is rolling two steel ball-bearings in his hand all the time, clacking them together.
