A Major (Army rank, equivalent to naval Lt. Commander) commanding over another Lt. Commander? Seems like a serious misallocation. IN most traditional navies, Naval officers will command a ship if there's an equal ranking non-naval officer on the ship. The non-naval officer will command ground parties only and defer ship instructions to the naval officer.

For more information on rank differences, look at wikipedia's entry on serviceman ranks.
