Captain (The Navy has a rank of Captain that is equivalent of an Army Colonel, or such.)
Yes, in all branches of service. The Navy uses a different structure for officers than the Air Force, Army, and Marines. In the Navy, a Captain is O6, equivalent to a Colonel in the remaining branches. A Navy Lieutenant is O3, equivalent to Captain in the other branches, and a Navy Lieutenant Junior Grade is O2, equivalent to a First Lieutenant in the other branches.
Lieutenant
Commander is a rank exclusive to the Navy. It is the equivalent of an Army/Air Force/Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel (O5). A Navy Captain is equivalent to an Army/Air Force/Marine Corps Colonel (O6), whereas a Captain in the Army, Air Force, or Marine Corps is O3. A Navy Captain outranks a Commander, but a Commander outranks an Army, Air Force, or Marine Corps Captain.
Captain
No. Lieutenant commander is an O-4, the equivalent of Major in the other branches. A commander is O-5, same as a lieutenant colonel in the other branches.

During Washington's service he was a Lieutenant general.
In the US and British armed forces, a Naval Commander is equivalent in rank to an Army Lt. Colonel and a Naval Captain is equivalent in rank to an Army Colonel. Please see the related links.
i think so. cuz in movies u nevr hear any1 address a first or second lieutenant This depends. Second Lieutenants and First Lieutenants are both addressed verbally as "Lieutenant". The Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force have Second Lieutenants as the lowest Commissioned Officer rank. They are then promoted to First Lieutenants. The next rank for Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force Officers is Captain. The Navy has the rank of Lieutenant but is a higher rank. Naval Officers begin as Ensign. They are promoted to Lieutenant JG (junior grade) and then to Lieutenant. The Navy Lieutenant is the equivalent of an Army Captain. The Navy also has the Captain rank, but the Navy Captain is the equivalent of an Army Colonel.
No. Commander is a job title (e.g., Company Commander, Battalion Commander, Brigade Commander, Division Commander, Corps Commander, etc.), but not a rank. Lieutenant Commander and Commander exist as ranks only in the Navy. Lieutenant Commander is equivalent to a Major in the Army, Air Force, and Marines, and Commander is equivalent is Lieutenant Colonel in the Army, Air Force, and Marines.
Lieutenant Colonel, also for Marine Corp and Air Force. The equivalent ranks are: Army / Marines / Air Force - Lt. Colonel (Silver Oak Leaf) Navy / Coast Guard - Commander (Silver Oak Leaf) Both pay grades are O-5.
A "Second Lieutenant" in the Army and Air Force element, or a "Sub-Lieutenant" in the Navy.
The equivalent rank to an Army / Marine / Air Force 2nd Lieutenant is an Ensign (O-1).
