I'm sure you guys know that "Captain" in the Navy is term for an official officer's rank title (O-6) and also the term for the commander of a ship/boat even if they aren't an O-6.
A "Three Striper" ("Commander" or O-5) is commonly called a "Captain" if he holds a duty position as the commanding officer of a ship such as a Frigate or a boat such as a submarine.
Just sayin'...

True, but Cap'n Crunch is presently unassigned/shore duty ergo he is posing!

Here's the proof that "Cap'n" Horatio Crunch is a poser .....
I requested his CC214* from Crunch Island and was sent this .....

The Crunch Island Mythos: A Man Called Crunch
Very little is known of H. M. Crunch, Jr. before his promotion to the rank of captain, except that he is the son of the great seaman, Admiral Horatio Magellan Crunch, Sr. A short, jolly fellow, Crunch is always seen in uniform: blue coat and matching bicorn hat (sporting his initial), white trousers and gold epaulets.

In 1997, Cap'n Crunch was promoted to the rank of Admiral. The fine people at Quaker Oats needed to fill his position as the cereal-maker-in-charge. Enter Captains Munch and Scrinch, who don't seem to have been the brightest crunchberries on the bush.
While Crunch was at a desk job (hardly what that man of action wanted), the two new captains were trying hard to impress him. Fighting, they broke the controls for the Crunchberry Cereal machine, leading to a flood of crunchberries being boxed up with no golden biscuits at all. Thinking quickly, the Admiral had the Art Department create a new box and thus was born "Oops! All Berries" Cereal, which was only crunchberries, but I guess the name kind of implies that. Television ads were created, blaming the mishap on little kids, but the truth was out. Munch and Scrinch were filled with shame.
Following this mishap, the Cap'n requested his old posting back, and received it. He has reportedly been much happier since helming the Guppy once more.

Mystery solved...and I'll bet they don't teach this in public school. 
As a Flag Officer, Crunch can create and wear pretty much any uniform he likes - although rarely done - and has been a "Captain" again (by title) since returning to the Guppy after the "Oops! All Berries" cover-up which was under-reported in the MSM and apparently lost amongst their focus upon the on-going Clinton investigations of the period.
