75. Actually--and as someone pointed out on the 13th--

that line is SOP for anyone wishing to board ship. The captain of a ship or boat, no matter what his actual rank, is still the captain, and even admirals (or generals) have to ask permission to board.

In fact (and I could be wrong) I seem to remember Captain Pelew of the Indefatigable asking permission to board of young Lieutenant Hornblower in one episode.
