the captain isn't usually driving while the captain is always overseeing the safety and navigation of the vessel he or she is not always the one doing the driving
most of the time the ship is on a very Advanced version of autopilot
the bridge watch is split into 4H hour shifts where you'll generally have two senior officers and two Sailors overseeing the navigation of the vessel
the staff Captain is a full licensed Captain capable of taking over the ship at any time in case something happens to the captain
