* CAGs have normally been captains throughout the series, but always senior to all other pilots. Captain | * CAGs have normally been captains throughout the series, but always senior to all other pilots. Captain [[Lee Adama]] is initially appointed CAG by virtue of his rank, and eventually is promoted to major with several captains serving under him as squadron commanders. Subsequent CAGs ([[Kara Thrace]], [[George Birch]], [[Louanne Katraine]]) are captains when appointed. In Thrace's case in "[[Pegasus]]", Lee Adama is demoted to Lieutenant under her. | ||

*The CAG's rank and place in the ship's hierarchy is one area where ''Battlestar Galactica'' diverges from the US Navy. In the real world, the CAG is a captain (O-6) of equal seniority to the ship's captain (or skipper), with both under the command of an admiral who commands the Carrier Strike Group. ''Battlestar Galactica'' places the CAG under the ship's commander, and at major or even captain he or she holds a relatively low rank. | *The CAG's rank and place in the ship's hierarchy is one area where ''Battlestar Galactica'' diverges from the US Navy.
