It is a captain. Some people spell it capton, but it's captain.Spell correctly and it will make life a little bit easier.
In the US Navy, and I suspect almost all navies, 'Captain' is a specific rank of officer, but whoever is in command of a ship may be addressed as 'Captain', even though his rank may be lower. In fact, the captain of a harbor tug may not even be an officer.
Additional Answer
In the Royal Navy, a ship's commanding officer is called the 'captain', but this does not necessarily indicate his rank. On a small ship, such as a minesweeper, the captain may be a lieutenant; on a nuclear submarine, the captain is normally a commander; on an aircraft carrier, the captain will usually be a captain.
On ships where the captain's rank is captain, the executive officer usually holds the rank of commander, and is referred to as 'the commander', rather than, for example, 'the XO'.
