13. 2013 marks our ten-year anniversary and needless to say this is cause for celebration! Our cooling tower company began as a single office with a small, hardworking and dedicated staff. Today CTD has blossomed into a healthy, robust organization employing over 150 Americans in more than 10 offices nationwide.
Ship captains take care of the business, navigation and operation of all types of vessels. The captain works with officers and crews to set a ship's speed and course, monitor a ship's positions, and avoid hazards. Captains also ensure their ship's engines and equipment are maintained and that proper safety procedures are followed.
Pay, authority and responsibility are the differences between a captain and a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy. A lieutenant may serve as the captain of a vessel without holding the military rank of captain. His rank, lieutenant, is the equivalent of a captain in the land services. His position, however, is that of captain. A captain in the Navy is the equivalent of a colonel in the land-based services.
