A Lt. Commander is CAPTAIN of a 347 man crew? I thought he’d be at least a COMMANDER to be CAPTAIN of a vessel that big....

The size of the crew would indicate a guided missile destroyer (DDG.) But I would suspect those are captained by full CMDR. A frigate (FFG) would have a LT. CMDR in command but carries a crew of about 180.
