American Civil War
[edit]In the US Navy at the time of the Civil War, the fleet captain was the senior aide to the flag officer or admiral. I do not know when the term was introduced, nor how long it persisted. PKKloeppel (talk) 13:55, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed merge
[edit]This article and captain of the fleet appear to cover the same topic. Honestly, the merge just as easily could go either way, but this one seems to have more talk page engagement, hence I'm posting here. -- Avocado (talk) 00:48, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Science fiction removed
[edit]Science fiction references are invalid for this article. A work of fiction is not a reliable source WP:RS. Using works of fiction without any actual scholarship is original research WP:OR. Just because some author writes 'Fleet Captain' in their script or novel does not provide a license to promote it on Wikipedia. Travelmite (talk) 13:11, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
