Can someone answer a dumb question?
When POTUS comes on board a Navy ship, Does he have to say,
"Permission to come aboard sir" to the captain?

He should.
The captain of a ship underway in international waters is the last absolute monarch.

The Stained One paid the USS Eisenhower a visit while I was assigned to the Ike. Willy awarded a medal to a rather attractive blonde Radioman First Class, the only medal awarded by the Bent one that day.

Probably, but the O6 had better reply, with "Permission Granted. Welcome aboard, Sir!" :-)
