Don’t know if you saw the movie about the British navy, ‘Master and Commander, the Far Side of the World’ with Russell Crowe as the captain.
But there’s a scene in the movie I thought of that came to mind when I heard Felito chose Snarly to help him re-arrange deck chairs on the HMS Cruz:
A midshipman cannot command any respect from the crew. A seaman bumps him, and is flogged.
The ship is unable to move for days due to lack of wind, and the crew comes to think of the midshipman as an albatross.
It becomes so bad that finally he picks up a cannonball and jumps over the side of the boat to Davy Jones locker.
Fiona= cannonball. Jump, Ted.
