General-Admiral
Oh god, I think their excuse for boarding the ship (the 'Abyssinian prince') is a loving reference to the Dreadnought Hoax, where a bunch of Cambridge students (including a cross-dressing Virginia Woolf) made themselves up in blackface and fancy dress, turned up at the Royal Navy's most powerful warship and were like 'this is the prince of abyssinia, he wants to take a look around', and the ship's officers fell for it and gave them a guided tour.
