RE: naval traditions
some bits are gonna carry over no matter what. On pretty much every ship or large aircraft going, civilian or military, the person in charge is called Captain.
Considering that in a lot of cases we're talking about military spacecraft, ranks are gonna be used, and hey, the navy has a readymade set.
As for hats, in the Honorverse at least the naval head gear are barrets, the only detail I recall offhand being that captain's barrets are white.
Speaking of the Honorverse; Murmur, I should warn you that Captain Harrington has a cat-like companion, since you expressed a dislike of felines.__________________
