When listening to marine weather forcasts, what is the difference between "seas", "swells", and "waves"?

A Capt is a Naval rank, however, the person in charge of a ship/vessel/boat is termed Capt. The responsibility of the crew and passengers, the ship and her mission is his. However, anyone in charge of the vessel you are on can be called the Capt. regardless of his rank, ie, a Lt is in charge of a vessel, He is answered by aye, aye Capt. or the slang aye, aye Skipper. If an Admiral is in Command he too would be called Capt or Skipper, however if you don't want the undesirable jobs on a ship, I would address him as aye, aye, Admiral. (I hate when grown Admirals cry!)
