The Pipe Smoking Captain
If only we still had open bridges like the old corvettes did, the traditional image of the pipe smoking sea captain might today be more than, well, a pipe dream. Unfortunately smoking in warships today is as banned as it is everywhere else, even for the ship's commanding officer, as if the private quarters of sailors is just another public place to be regulated by the state.

They don't even where the naval officer's forge cap at sea anymore. They've turned in that tradition in favour of the blasted baseball cap.
